Menswear

Cape, boyfriend’s shirt. Dress, Winners. Boots, Aldo. Sunnies, Ray Ban. Bag, Rebecca Minkoff.


Today’s outfit: courtesy of my boo who styled this wonderful ensemble. First time being able to take one of his menswear pieces and incorporate it into my look, although I cannot take the credit for this ingenuity. After having come home from work and about to change as I normally would before heading out on our evening adventures (office wear and my personal style clash a bit) I realized I liked the sweater dress I had on all day, but just needed to pair it with a different jacket. Nothing seemed to work so my boyfriend suggested a “cape thing” to throw overtop. He found a creative way to fold down his shirt, and voila the above was created.

Hope you had a fab weekend!

This is my take on wearing a dress over pants, as inspired by Chanel’s Fall/Winter ’12 show, or more recently, Kenzo’s 2014 Fall/Winter lineup. I’ll be honest, I was always and admirer of this trend just never had the courage to pull it off. However, the true motivator for me to finally layer a dress over pants (skinny jeans in this case) was the extreme cold and a longing for Spring. End result: love it, regret not trying it sooner.

If I were to tell you that it was -30°C/-22°F on the afternoon that we took these pictures, would you believe me? My boyfriend picked me up from work and since we didn’t want this outfit to go to waste we attempted taking a few photos. I cannot tell you how cold it was! Especially with gusts of bone chilling wind. We took a few shots as quickly as possible, in between my chattering teeth. In all honestly, I wasn’t going to publish these photos, because they were a write off to me. (Maybe I was just discriminating against them because of the suffering associated with them). Nevertheless, I decided to publish them in the end to make all of that suffering somewhat worth it. I am SO over winter.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday! xo
