Furever Cold

You might be wondering why I’m wearing a fur bomber in the middle of June. But that perfectly sums up Edmonton weather for ya. One minute it’s sunny and plus 30°C and the next it’s pouring rain and I’m shivering. Edmonton weather changes it’s mood more often than I do (and that’s saying a lot). Currently, I’m sitting on my bed writing this post and I’m sweating buckets. How I wish that it could be cold enough to wear a fur bomber again. But I know I’m going to regret saying that the minute the temperature dips below 20°C.

So, speaking of this fur bomber, I have recently noticed that fur (and faux fur) bombers are making quite the comeback. I got this one a couple years ago from Forever 21 (how do I keep managing to find the best things from F21?!) for under 20 bucks, but it has managed to stay in style all these years. That show it was a damn good buy. I love that its uber casual with it’s bomber silhouette but the faux fur adds a little extra chicness to it. That’s my vibe, y’all. Casual chicness. I like it.

And, as usual, I’m wearing a white t-shirt underneath the bomber. I can’t even remember the last time I didn’t wear a white t-shirt. It’s just such a staple in the summer. If you were to look in my closet right now (please don’t, that’s creepy), you would see a whole half of the left side DEDICATED to white t-shirts. A girl addicted to plain white tees? That’s a new one. However, even though I do have an abundance of white t-shirts, I can never have enough because I have yet to find the perfect one. Close contenders are the Kotn tee ($30USD) and the Everlane Box Tee ($22USD) but neither are perfection. I thought the Kotn tee was perfect UNTIL they decided to revamp and change it. I haven’t tried the new edition but apparently it has a longer hem which I am so not a fan of. Bring. Back. The. Old. Style. (please)

What was I saying before I went off on this tangent? Oh right, I’m wearing a white tee under this bomber. It’s from Zara. It was ten bucks and has a cute ruched pocket on the chest. It’s nothing special. Sorry to disappoint. And nine times out of ten, if I am wearing a white t-shirt, you best believe I am wearing some sort of sneaker. That’s my favorite look. A good t-shirt, jeans that make my tushie (who tf says tushie, I just gagged) look good and a casual pair of sneaks’. These Adidas Sleek sneakers have definitely been a favorite lately. I’ve been rejecting all of my other shoes in favour of these lately. They’re super comfy (did not have to break them in at all) and they match absolutely everything. They just get dirty really, really fast. What can ya do?
