What I Wore To Operanation 9: Sweet Revenge

On Thursday my lovely editor, Odessa of Plaid Magazine invited me to the Canadian Opera Company’s Operanation, which is the must-attend arts fundraiser of the fall.

I wore this amazing vintage dress I picked up from a  shopping event Plaid put on back in the spring, and by chance we are hosting our 3rd vintage shopping event Vintage Crawl Toronto tomorrow (Tuesday) from 7pm – midnight across downtown Toronto. I always find the most wonderful dresses at these events. I’m just saying, and hoping. See you out there Toronto.

I love when  outfits are inspired by things other than fashion. I feel like my latest plaid mini obsession is, not only because I work for Plaid Magazine, but possibly brought on by No Doubt and the insanely fabulous Gwen Stefani.

The new album is perfect, if you haven’t heard the title track, Push & Shove ft. Busy Signal and Major Lazer, you must! It will be on repeat for a while.

Felt Up

I’ve said it once, and I’ll probably say it a million more times before the season’s up, fall is all about texture. Ones you can feel, ones you can see, the ones your mind creates when it mixes prints and patterns. Today’s outfit was a little daring mixing these unreal red plaid cords I picked up the other day at Urban Outfitters for the Plaid Magazine Fall Winter 2012 Issue Launch Party (where I work as the art director), with my favourite leopard boots.  I also paired it with a textured sherpa coat I got for $5 at the end of last season.

As the seasons changes from summer to fall, then fall to winter, I feel like clothes change from fun and inspired into dull and repetitive. My goal is to continue to work excitement & creativity into my closet, and always look at clothing in a different light.
