You're An Angel Dressed in Armour

First off, so sorry I haven't had the chance to make blog posts lately! I know it shouldn't be an excuse, but these past 2 weeks have been SUPER DUPER busy due to midterms and appointments. I was, however, fortunate to attend Western Canada Fashion Week, a local fashion event that showcases both local and international designers. The show I attended on September 26, which also happened to be my first fashion show ever, was absolutely spectacular! Showcased designers included the talented contemporary styles of Jean Paul Gaultier, a lovely showcase from La Maison Simons with the most beautiful men I have ever seen, and a beautiful Parisian inspired lingerie collection from local designer Melany Rowe.

I knew I wanted to dress either super edgy or classy; since I don't have a large collection of edgy clothes, I decided to take the latter route. I bought this super elegant navy blazer from Zara, and instantly fell in love with the brown leather detailing, including the collar and pocket linings. I paired it with a pair of slim navy dress pants, also from Zara, and my favorite white dress shirt from Reiss. To add a touch of uniqueness to my outfit, I decided to add a lovely scarf that has been sitting in my closet for a while. I absolutely love the elegant pattern and color scheme, and how well it goes with navy outfit. I finished off my fashion week outfit with a pair of brown monkstrap shoes from Florshiem!
