Lark & Ro Review

Since I started working full time, I've worked on building out a wardrobe for the office. I've focused on pieces that could go from work to blog functions at night, and was curious to test out Lark & Ro, one of Amazon Canada's house brands. You can only shop Lark & Ro if you're an Amazon Prime member (but you can get a free 1-month trial here), but since my house is already signed up, there was nothing to lose! I selected this gorgeous forest green Lark & Ro dress, and wanted to share my review on the dress. 1E2A9458 1E2A9468 1E2A9459 This Lark & Ro cap-sleeve midi dress was under $100 CAD, and while the price seemed a bit steep for an online purchase, I was so impressed with the quality. The cut is beautiful, and it fit me perfectly. Plus, it has pockets!

How to Look One Size Smaller in Jeans

The hunt for a great pair of jeans is always exhausting. With so many styles, cuts and fits, it can be a bit overwhelming. But one brand, NYDJ promises to help you look one size smaller in jeans! A few weeks ago, I checked out the NYDJ pop-up event to get fitted for a pair of jeans. This season, the denim brand has teamed up with Dress for Success Toronto, and is donating $10 if you try on a pair of jeans. Women in the GTA can get this experience at the Toronto Women's Show on November 10-12, 2017. The series will also roll out in offices across the greater city area. how to look one size smaller in jeans nydj (3 of 6) I was really excited to check out the brand and participate, because I wanted to support the wonderful cause. I actually had a chance to chat with one woman who used the service, who had difficulties landing a job as a Diversity consultant after moving from India. She explained how working with Dress for Success involved so much respect, and that they found the perfect look to compliment her style and type of job interview. We chatted about how difficult it can be getting through the job interview process, and how the right clothes and confidence can help get a job. She’s since gone on to work with Ernst & Young and now works as an independent diversity consultant. It’s great to see a fashion brand team up with this initiative, so I’d definitely recommend trying on a pair! I got set up with a fit consultant and tried on a few styles. I originally went for a pair of dark skinny jeans, but ended up falling in love with the boyfriend style. All the girls at the event wearing the boyfriend style raved about how comfy they are. I personally loved how they were casual, but were still clean and proper enough to wear to work on casual fridays. NYDJ is locally available at Hudson's Bay and Nordstrom.
