Business-y

So, this is another one of those times where I need to dress like a grown-up... I hate wearing anything that makes me feel like I'm in costume, pretending to be some older, respectable lady.

That said, it's sometimes necessary to wear something other than jeans... On the upside, I've discovered that I can make the same top I wore to drinks in Greece (feels like a lifetime ago now!) work for a professional look that still feels me. Id est, hopefully: modern and fashionable yet appropriate.

My Obsession: Double Denim x2

I have a new obsession... double denim. I just love skirting the line between stylish and kitchy (remember my Elvis moment?). This was my favourite outfit for those warm but not-quite-hot summer days I had in London. I paired my denim short overalls with a men's denim shirt; neck open, cuffs turned up, really relaxed.

Can't get enough: my shirt dress fixation

A couple of posts ago I talked about the versatility of the shirt as cover-up, and now I've become obsessed with the chic simplicity and ease of the shirt dress as city wear. I recently got one and I already wish I had five more... It solves all my sartorial summer-in-the-city problems in the time it takes to pull it on --a shirt dress can work equally well over your bikini for taking you from beach to city (hello Toronto beaches!), with white trainers for running around the city or with heels for a dressier occasion.
