Sometimes, when it gets hot, I can’t bare to wear anything that is body hugging, yet I still have the urge to look cute. I search for these outfits that can keep me cool during the humid weather. Last week I found this dress. A steal from Joe Fresh that I can imagine wearing basically for the rest of my life.

Fashion Magazine asked their trusted Style Panel to discuss socks and sandals this week. Here is what I said.

I looked back to see other times I’ve rocked socks in unexpected ways. Back in February I wore a graphic pair from Joe Fresh with a statement dress from the Peter Pilotto collection at Target. I also wore a great pair of knee highs from Roots Canada that month in Winter Classic. In the fall of 2012, the style blog seemed to have taken major focus to covering up my toes, with posts about: finding the perfect dress to take you anywhere in The Perfect Dress, pastels featuring a great pair of knee high socks in Pale and Bold, all of the details, where styled delicate fishnet socks (Dots and Details), and lastly for that season, when I wore a frilly pair from Topshop in the Fall Floral post.

– Oh and I had crazy orange hair back in 2012!

Florals during the spring is nothing new, so I’ve taken the challenge to try to reinvent, this beautiful, wheel.

Sometimes, two pieces from different collections, stores and even years match so perfectly, it’s as if they were straight off of Fashion Week’s runway.  The pants and top both have accent colours in the other’s colour, making them truly a match made in heaven.  Strong floral outfits can help you celebrate and embrace the warmer temperatures that spring has finally brought us.
