I’ve come to love juxtaposition in fashion. Maybe it’s the Gemini in me that yearns for extreme opposites to blend together in harmony…Yet as I type this I can’t help but realize just how much my zodiac sign has impacted my life. Fashion aside, my two favourite types of music are soca and heavy metal – two extreme opposites. So I guess it’s no wonder that I wanted to pair a chic yet edgy biker jacket with trackpants and a pair of elegant heels. But I love the contrasting mixture no different than Metallica following up a Destra Garcia song.

When going for this look, if that ‘off the runway kinda vibe’ is what you’re after then dress up track pants with a very elegant, somewhat statement heel. A feminine bag will compliment the look as well. A benefit of this look is the effortless transition from day to night. This look can easily be worn to run errands during the day. For night, just add strappy sandals or dainty pumps. Anyone else out there who seems to be drawn to opposites? How do you like to dress up track pants?

Happy weekend!

So we took these photos literally three days ago on Friday. And here we are Monday morning, everything is covered in snow! I’d glady teleport back to Friday, no only to do the whole weekend over again, but moreso to enjoy the double digit weather we had. Incredible how we can go from pre-summer temperature to snow in just 2 days. Welcome to the bipolar climate that we know as Toronto/GTA weather.

As much as I’m not looking forward to the winter weather, on the bright side of things this vintage tweed coat is pretty warm so it may help to make mild winter days less miserable with its bright colour and enveloping warmth. I should also point out that I am wearing two summer dresses here: a sheer lace dress worn over a simple white fitted summer dress. Could you tell?

Have any of you had your first snow fall yet? Are you looking forward to it, or looking for a place to hibernate like me?

We’ve been lucky the past two weeks with unseasonably warmer temperatures. So warm in fact, that I was able to wear my Free People tunic as a dress. Might I add, without the need for a) leggings or b) overcoat or jacket. And believe me, the blanket scarf wasn’t really needed either, but I had planned it for this look. Along with a long knit overcoat which I forgot to grab to work the morning of. Which in the end worked out because I probably wouldn’t have worn it anyways. I had been planning on transitioning this summer tunic into my Fall wardrobe anyways. Although I had planned on wearing the Free People tunic over tights or pants – I guess those looks will have to wait. But I am not complaining about being able to wear this short number bare legs and all….mid November.
