Too Dressy?

Is this too dressy? I often wonder what others think when they see me wandering around the streets of Toronto. My outfits often seem as if I’m over dressed, but in reality, isn’t everyone else just under dressed?

Since when did it really become okay for 25 year olds to walk around in sweatpants? I want you to think of when you were young, did you ever see someone in a track suit and think, “that is what I want to look like when I grow up.” Probably not unless you’re an athlete, so why does this happen?

I challenge you  to come up with 5 comfortable outfits that don’t make you look like your ill and running to the drug store. Take a picture of them with your phone, so you won’t forget them, and when you feel rushed or lazy you already have what works.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and family.
