Not So Clueless

Not So Clueless

Plaid isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of going out on the town, but an unexpected pairing of plaid, and a cutout crop? Perfect. Plus, it calls to mind my favourite nineties film character, Cher, from Clueless. Throw on a black leather jacket and you’re good to go.

Variety is the spice… and the meat and potatoes of life. Unless you’re vegan. I love a good basic that can go a few ways. My moss coloured cropped culottes are a good bet for a spring, summer or fall outfit. Styled with a cute flowy top, with embellished neckline and some sweet footwear for height, or flats for comfort, this is an easy way to look pulled together… while wearing an elastic waist.

Classic Camel

Classic Camel

Outfit of the day: A pretty standard camel coloured sweater, in a boxy shape. Nude stack heeled, pumps with gold buckle detail on the toe, rounded square. Distressed boyfriend jeans. Great necklace. Top it with a brown blazer for a ‘just going partridge hunting’ meets ‘J.Crew’ look.

What I wore: an Anthropologie Kelly green maxi skirt with embroidered waistband, plus whimsical footwear and a sleeveless button-up patterned with monkeys, pineapples, toucans and ferns = botanical perfection. What a prized specimen!
