When Fashion Magazine asked their style panel about sweater dressing in 2014, I decided to suit-up in this sweet Topshop plaid set. Here is what I told them about layering while wearing head-to-toe knits, to keep the outfit luxe and sweat-free.

I sometimes find winters in Canada really hard to get through. The short days, darkness, grey skies, salt stains, insane driving, and of course the cold, are just a few of the reasons why people struggle around this time of year. Mental health is so important to be discuss, and to know that you are never alone. There are so many Canadians who suffer from SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) which is a form of depression that occurs at a certain time of the year, usually in the winter.  Getting outside, doing things that make you happy, and even just wearing bright colours and bold prints can not only make you feel better, but also those around you. So wishing everyone a bright and wonderful last few days of January!

Fashion Magazine asked the Style Panel to talk about the winter trend of sweaters. This season they are amazing. Here’s what I said.
