Gap denim dress // Lacoste sneakers // TOMS sunglasses // Louis Vuitton change purse
Hope you all had a lazy Victoria Day long weekend. Here I am wearing a matronly denim dress, which I have to admit, at first I wasn’t so sure about. No offense to the Amish but I don’t want to look like I’ve never tasted alcohol or sex, or electricity for that matter. (This is based solely on my knowledge accrued from Breaking Amish, the hit TV series that depicts a group of Amish twenty-somethings who run away from home in hopes of making it in New York City). To make a long story short, the moment I decided to pair white sneakers with the getup all faith was restored in modernity. I was, how do you say, “le cool?” almost instantly.
If you’re looking to copy this look – which I highly hope you do – make sure the dress is a few inches shorter in the front than in the back. That is the only way you can wear chunky sneakers under it without looking like you’ve never listened to the radio before. Otherwise opt for open-toe sandals and for god’s sake, get a pedicure. Nobody wants to see the fruits of your labour by ways of corns, calluses and yellowed toe nails. Unless you’re me, who has bionic toe nails that regenerated overnight after the San Francisco Half Marathon – true story. Follow me on Twitter @justineiaboni and I’ll tell you allllllll about it.
