They also come in charcoal.Northern Reflections is a quality Canadian women’s clothing company, I’ve been a happy customer over the years (since 1985 when the first store opened) and I’m delighted to collaborate with a company who cares about our environment and values SLOW FASHION.#southampton #sunset #lakehuron#sunset #southampton Ontario #lakehuronStyling my floral top with white jeans and red jeans. #florals #magnolias #fashion #fashionbloggerStyling my floral top with red jeans and black faux leather pants. #florals #fauxleather #fashion #fashionblogger #thrifingStyling my floral blazer with white jeans and black faux leather pants. #fashionblogger #florals #whatveganswearI always find something I like at Northern Reflections 🇨🇦(Canadian women’s apparel store).
