Sightseeing and HM

I visited Ottawa a few weeks ago to attend my cousins wedding.  That was my first time in Ottawa and I was so blown away by its beauty and its friendly people.  Also, my brother in law lives in Ottawa and we stayed with him which gave me an opportunity to get to know my new sister in law.  We all had such a great time with each other.  It is the best feeling to meet someone who you instantly feel has always been a part of your family.  

So most months out of the year, Ottawa is probably freezing.  This August though, the weather was perfect.  It was sunny and warm with a nice calm breeze at night.  It was not humid at all.  The neighborhoods are so adorable and everyone is so friendly.  Ottawa is Canada’s capital and there is much history there.  It reminded me of a miniature Montreal.  We spent the first day there sightseeing in downtown Ottawa.  We saw the Parliament building and the Rideau Canal, to name a few.  I knew we would be out all day so I chose to wear something lightweight and simple.  This H&M dress is easy to throw on and makes a big statement with its butterfly sleeves.  I wore an Amrita Singh statement necklace to bring out the yellow flowers in the print.  Since I would be walking all day, my comfortable JustFab sandals were perfect for this trip.  This outfit I put together was simple but functional and practical for an easy going vacation.
