I am only posting Wednesday’s look-of-the-day now because I ended up being busier than expected. The beginning of spring seems to be propelling plans into action and turning stagnant procrastinations into developments. It’s the season when new ideas bloom. I’ve always noticed how the energy of the city shift when people begin to sense spring in the air. It wakes Canadians from their winter hibernation and zombie-like state of passivity and indifference. I noticed that as the snow melts and the birds begin to chirp there is an increase in human interaction on the streets and the city begins to vibrate with possibility. I like to think of it as the possibility of change and development; hence this silk Development dress. I welcome this commotion and vibrancy with open arms

I kind of have a funny story about these Ottorino Bossi boots. I used to wear them a lot when I was still in university because they are so comfortable and look good with pretty much anything. Anyway, this one time I went to get a bite to eat on Bloor St. and as I was walking back to campus I noticed that a bum with a shopping cart was following me. He never took his eyes off the boots – it’s like he was mesmerized by them. It was freaky how he stared at them, as though they were speaking to him. When I said hi to the man he started trying to convince me that the boots were his. I just laughed and walked a little faster. I looked back and there he still was trailing behind me and mumbling something to himself about where he wore them last. I just thought, “I wonder what’s going on in that head of yours.” Maybe their vintage look triggered some memory from his past or he might have just been completely out of it. He started speaking with more conviction and determination and the more passionate he became the faster I walked. I ended up running to lecture…I lost him pretty fast though (I used to be on the track team). If it wasn’t for his sh0pping cart full of useful goodies (cans and other garbage) he might have had a chance to catch up. I still wonder what he was thinking. Who knows what he used to be in his better days, maybe even a shoe designer.

Today’s look of the day is from one of my trips to New York City. I think it was in the spring of October, 2008. We were only there for a few days – shopping, eating pizza, walking around, and just enjoying “The Big Apple.” I knew what to expect out of our day so I wore the most comfortable pair of boots I own, a belted silk dress, and a light jacket.
