What I wear for crazy weather

Yours truly mastering Balenciaga's off the shoulder gimmick. As if. 
Really I was just about to undress to try on what I had picked at H&M and figured it was best to take quick shots before I forgot to do it! Hahaha!

Sorry for the long delay between posts again, reading has taken up a lot of my time off, lately, I've spent much more time in libraries than in ready-to-wear stores, honestly there was just no fashion inspiration "spark" that I could share with you.

However on the getting dressed front I've noticed that my white corduroy pants and black slip-on sneakers have been very handy to accommodate the unstable and capricious weather while infusing a spring adequate vibe.

I've been so far a partisan of white pants + white-ish sneakers/shoes because I felt a monochrome leg to toe didn't "break" the silhouette. But between my recent Stan Smith overdose, lack of other footwear option and the violent sudden showers we've been experiencing lately, these black sneakers established themselves.  At first, by default, it turned out finally that I really liked the duo, so much so that I've combined it with my tailored or loose outerwear and a casual sweater.

    1. You're welcome! I've had a complex relationship with white pants for a long time but it's changed since finding the Gap ones, the fit is not too tight. Also they're more off-white, so easier to mix than a bright white.

  2. I can't seem to pull off white jeans but you on the other hand look mighty fine as usual. I've been thinking about slip ons a lot lately. There are a lot of dressier versions out there right now and they're so comfortable. Very different from the ones I wore during my skater period, black with pink elephants, uhm yeah.... haha.

    1. Thanks Jessica! Slip ons are turning into slippers for me! Haha! They're so comfortable and easy to wear with anything. But yeah they look nothing like what we wore as teenagers that's for sure! Haha!

  3. Those Balenciaga garments must have some crazy corset-type boning to stay up like that! I love the off-shoulder look but personally I have too many bra-strap + strapless bra issues for it to make a regular appearance in my outfits.

    I was just thinking the other day I'd love to have some casual (non-work-loafer) slip-ons, like Vans or something. Sometimes even tying shoelaces is too taxing, lol.

    I think I donated off my last pair of white jeans last summer, having never worn them that year.

    I think this summer I'll be into wide-leg pants (not flares), which I suppose would not fit the whole slip-on aesthetic, lol.

    1. Haha! Can you imagine the hassle of those Balenciaga clothes? It must be epic to put on and off.
      Definitely approve the slip-ons easy (lazy) wear! I actually worn mine with my old Isabel Marant wide leg cords and I really liked the style.
