4 Core Fashion Finds
Nicole SJOSTEDT
As we build upon our spring wardrobe it’s always a good idea to have some simple classics at hand. These “made for any occasion” items are a simple way to make and compliment an outfit. Here are four divine finds!
Shirt dress: This smart dress is a winner no matter the occasion! Best to keep this one reserved and ready for those moments of panic when nothing else is working. Not only is this an easy dress to pair with shoes, but its simplicity is enough to make the outfit complete without needing anything else! By Shoshanna, $ 415, available at Atomic Model 1036 Mainland St. Vancouver. www.atomicmode.com
Ballet Flat: Need I say more about these timeless classics? They work in every fashion situation possible! They also make any shoe size look neat and petite. For versatility, try these in metallic gold. By Repetto, $250, available at Gravity Pope on West 4th Avenue in Vancouver. www.gravitypope.com
Cotton Scarf: A stylish solution to those of us who suffer from always being cold even on a warm spring day. This ribbed cotton scarf is light enough for layering in spring /summer but also a fabulous alternative accessory for any day of the year. Paired with a tank or bundled up under a winter coat, it’s a great staple to have in the wardrobe. By Cherry Blossom, $20, available at Portobello West Market www.portobellowest.com or for info at www.cherryblossomdesign.ca
Cardigan: Finding the right cardigan is not always an easy task. Fabric weight, buttons neck-line and sleeve length can be an issue. For spring/summer a light knit ¾ length sleeve cardi is a great option. Small tone-on-tone details are a perfectly subtle way to incorporate texture to an otherwise plain-looking sweater. For an easy summer pick try this light knit cotton cardigan with crochet tone-on-tone buttons. By Banana Republic, $85, www.bananarepublic.com for store locations across Canada. |
