Spruce up Your Spring Closet with Bench. Canada

Yes I said it: Spring. All of my fellow east coast dwellers know what I’m talking about when I say February was a beast. Snow storm after snow storm after snow storm all month long. And there is something just so hopeful about the month of March. It’s possible that we will, in fact, see the ground again at some point in the next 4 weeks. Also, there is a slim possibly we won’t have to bundle up in 400 layers just to go outside before month’s end. In the meantime, Bench. Canada wants to help get you in the spring spirit by giving one of you a $100 Gift Card to spend in one of their retail stores!

Recently I visited our store at Mic Mac Mall (you can follow the mic mac store on Instagram @benchmicmacmall) and picked up a few things to spruce up my own wardrobe. Going in I had every intention of getting some more winter-y items, but I managed to time my arrival the day after they had brought in a bunch of new pieces and my winter plans quickly got tossed aside for spring staples instead!

Initially I had my eye on this Denney Jacket as I don’t really have a spring/rain jacket,

but it would seem I’m a bit too hippy for this one. Even after I sized up it was tight through the hips (and I knew if I went up another size it would be too big for me everywhere else) so I decided to go the vest route instead and ended up grabbed the Higgins II Gilet Vest

I really like that it is lightweight, but still warm, and there is some elastic in the armholes that gives them more give. You know how some vest can really limit your arm movement? That extra elastic makes it easy for you to move, and ah, break out into a triangle or two 😉

As you can see in the picture above, I also got a new pair of black capris – the Rajak Capri. What I really liked about these is the ruching at the waistband and the bottom of the leg. Not only is is flattering, but it adds a little extra detailing to your everyday back capri.

The pink Lulah Short Sleeve Top you see in the photos above is another piece I picked up, again with the ruching, and again I love it!

I find Bench. tops to be nice and long which as a long waisted girl I really appreciate! It can be a really struggle to find pieces that find me in the torso, and every top I’ve got from Bench. has been pleasantly long.

And finally, I also picked up this fun top!

SMILE!! This is the Koncrete SS Graphic Top, and you really can’t help but feel a little more cheery when you’re wearing it.
