As I’ve expressed before, I have a big weakness for monochromatic looks. And, if you couldn’t tell from the photos, I’m really feeling the blues today. Known to many as the Canadian tuxedo, I am sporting a denim look with my Zara shirt and Paige jeans. All together this outfit takes on two big trends of the past few seasons (monochromatic and denim-on-denim) to make for a flattering and stylish look. Next time you’re getting dressed, experiment with your color palette. You might just surprise yourself with an awesome, and unexpected, monochromatic outfit!
Unless you live in one of the few regions of the world where snow is nothing more than an image on TV, suede shoes should not be a part of your “winter” wardrobe as specified by outdated fashion codes. As a delicate material, suede has no place being worn on our feet through snow, salt, and the eventual slush that makes up most winters. I don’t care how many products claim to protect against the cruel actions of Mother Nature, there is nothing that will keep your shoes alive in these conditions. In my closet I currently have 4 pairs of beautiful suede “winter” boots, which have yet to see the outdoors, and won’t be doing so until I am assured this polar vortex has concluded. So, as a protest to the harsh treatment of suede shoes everywhere, I am now adopting this as a summer style and ending the cruelty we have been imposing for years. I hope you will all see the light and join me on my fashion quest ;)
