My May-December Romance

Like everyone else, I am awaiting the warmer weather. But my spring-summer style will always have a winter sensibility. Often when others are in short shorts and tanks, I’m in a blouse and jeans. I don’t know… I’m just more comfortable in that silhouette, and I like fabrics that conceal instead of hug. Makes me feel more chic. Spring colours are beautiful, but it’s just too soon for me to commit. Instead, I’ll build my seasonal wardrobe around black staples. All which will go nicely with the brights I buy later, when they go on sale.


Ciera Black Metallic Detail Chunky Heel Boot, $50.
My winter boots are worse for wear, but these cute booties are ready for my skinny jeans and cropped trousers. I love the silver heel and stacked heel.


Leather Link Necklace, $74.
Imagine this Banana Republic adornment on the inside of a white collared blouse. Swoon. I love the leather trim.


Single Post Belt, $130.
Slick. Simple. Beautifully designed. And it’s made in Canada by The Leather Atelier. ’Nuff said.


Pinstripe Trousers, $60.
Zara pants always fit me so well. I never have to try them on. I like the idea of a menswear-inspired pinstripe, which will look smart when I pair them with a floral blouse.


Liam Pocket Tee Bright White, $198.
I think this will pair nicely with a pair of printed jeans. After writing about the Equipment blouse and how many brands brought out their own version, I’ve been a fan of the brand. I even bought one for myself in NYC in January while on a press trip. It’s like a tattoo: Once you get one, you need another.


Tomas Maier Cutout Cross-back Swimsuit, $330.
Full confession: I have not worn a bathing suit in over 15 years! This one-piece with gunmetal details has made me take a double take… Would I? Could I? We’ll see, we’ll see. I might be converted into  a summer girl after all.
