Shopping Around

How to wear Converse sneakers with a dress in an Aritzia dress, White + Warren cashmere travel wrap, Converse white sneakers, Celine sunglasses styled by To Vogue or Bust
This, my friends, is officially the most unexpectedly perfect outfit for crazy holiday shopping  (provided you don’t live in 3 feet of snow or conversely, scorching heat). And even if you’re contending with either, there are easy ways to adjust accordingly! This outfit has it all in the shopping department: easy to layer on for getting around in the chilly outdoors but equally easy to shed layer-by-layer for inside stuffy malls, this long minimalist slip dress is the easiest thing to take on and off if you have to try on anything (or better yet, don’t take it off at all if you’re trying on bottoms!), and most importantly, super comfy thanks both to the Converse sneakers and the breathable, luxe fabrics.

Keep the accessories simple (I love my stay-in-place choker and dainty rings from my girl Leah Alexandra, and this CLUSE watch adds some shine to a more understated look) and you’re good to go!

They’re a brand I’ve been wearing for as long as I can remember, from being a kid to skidding around on the art gallery steps with a bunch of punks to all my travel adventures as a young ’20 something to now, as a perennial style statement. They somehow go with everything, they temper more femme looks and they just make everything cool. I hate driving so basically do all my shopping on foot, which means if I’m going to get my 20,000 steps in while lugging around a bunch of heavy bags, then I not only want to do it in shoes I love, but especially comfy ones too. Check and check!

I have three in different colours and they are my favourite.things.ever. I basically grab one on the way out the door every day from September through to February here in Vancouver (or wherever I am) because we have such varying temperatures and weather here in the Pacific Northwest. So during the holiday shopping madness period, nothing changes – I drape one of these unbelievably soft babies around my neck while getting wherever I have to go and if I start warming up too much, I can roll it up to a teeny ball and keep it in my bag. It adds so much warmth and is so comforting to have on hand during these colder months – and best of all, the giveaways series continues on Instagram later today for you AND a friend!
