This passed weekend I attended a blogger event. I don’t often go to events (admittedly, I’m a bit of a hermit) but I thought this particular event sounded like it would be a good time, and a perfect excuse to get a few of the girls together for a fun night out. The invitation noted to wear white as it was the White Effect Launch Party, and so I headed over to my favourite local boutique – Fine Finds boutique – to grab a pretty white dress for the party, and ended up finding this gorgeous tea length dress. Over the last few years, longer lengths such as midi and maxi dresses have become incredibly popular, but one length we haven’t seen a lot of is the tea length dress. Tea length dresses hit nearer to the ankle rather than the knee, which creates a elegant and demure retro-inspired look. The question that seems to typically come up in regards to these unusual lengths is how exactly to style them, so today I am sharing a few tips to help you rock a tea length dress!

How to Wear a Tea Length Dress

Look for Fits that Float away from your Legs

We all have made the mistake of purchasing a dress or skirt (typically a pencil skirt) in a fitted and non-stretch material. The thing about a tea length dress is that since it hits the mid-shin area, fitted or stiff materials will severely restrict your movement and ability to walk freely. To feel comfortable moving about, search for a tea length dress which floats away from your legs. I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again – there’s nothing that kills your style faster than looking uncomfortable! vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, style tips, fashion blogger style tips, how to style a tea length dress, how to wear eyelet dress, fine finds boutique vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, style tips, fashion blogger style tips, how to style a tea length dress, how to wear eyelet dress, fine finds boutique vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, style tips, fashion blogger style tips, how to style a tea length dress, how to wear eyelet dress, fine finds boutique vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, style tips, fashion blogger style tips, how to style a tea length dress, how to wear eyelet dress, fine finds boutique

Rock a Pair of Heels (or wedges)

If you’ve been reading the UU for a while now than you likely already know that I rarely wear heels. As a style blogger, this can be seen as a slight faux-pas (in-fact, I can already hear daily heel-wearer’s gasping!), but I believe that daily style should be comfortable and that heels are for special occasions and events. Tea length dresses such as this one from Fine Finds Boutique is the perfect special occasion dress. The lace overlay makes it feminine and elegant and perfect for any summertime event. Since tea length dresses can shorten you, wearing a pair of heels or wedges will combat that and help elongate you and your legline. I personally love wedges since they do offer a bit more support and comfort. vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, style tips, fashion blogger style tips, how to style a tea length dress, how to wear eyelet dress, fine finds boutique vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, style tips, fashion blogger style tips, how to style a tea length dress, how to wear eyelet dress, fine finds boutiquevancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, style tips, fashion blogger style tips, how to style a tea length dress, how to wear eyelet dress, fine finds boutique

Pair with Dainty Jewelry

Since tea length dresses exude femininity, it feels natural to pair a tea length dress with some dainty jewelry. While large jewelry can create a statement, dainty jewelry can add to the demure look of the tea length dress and create a look which appears well thought out and sophisticated.   If you like this than check out these:

    I didn’t know tea length dresses existed (maybe I have missed a trend there?) but it is certainly a beautiful dress. I love the lace. And your hair is beautiful as well 🙂

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
