Dressing down, as you can tell, I have mixed feelings about. But as the season changes we can’t help but to want to warm up and be comfortable. I worked at Roots selling sweats; and some of the best leathers Canada has; for eight wonderful years of my life, and I can tell you a few things about making comfortable work.
I concept of dressing up casual clothes, is the same as dressing down formal ware (which I do way more often). It may take a few tries, but when you get it styled just right, it creates an awesome look. So next Saturday night in with friends, think of your sweats in a different way, what can you do to make this an outfit.

Bumming around in the summer is probably one of my favourite parts. The ideas of “less is more” and figuring out if your straps would give you “good tan lines” all brings me back to my teen years.
As I conclude my style at the cottage for this year (I think) I just want to remind you what I often have to remind myself, dress for where you are going.
There is no point in being all dolled up, when everyone is in sweats, fashion is a part of everything I do, but at times, its function becomes equally as important.
