Let’s Talk About These Boots

Mindy E2 Comments

The outfit in this post is fairly plain/simple, I admit. However, the boots are the clear focus of the outfit. I’ll talk about the boots more later in the post.

I wore this outfit to work on a Friday (the majority of the outfits I post on here seem to be, ha!). The boots were a bit uncomfortable, I’ll admit. I wasn’t wearing socks, and I did a lot of walking the day I wore this outfit. Hopefully I just need to break them in!

Jeans – Hudson, purchased at Marbella Clothing a few years ago
Booties – Steve Madden, purchased from Nordstrom (link to exact boots)

I had been stalking these boots for months. It seems like they are only available at Nordstrom? They were originally ~$177 CDN, plus taxes, duties, and shipping. Um, no thank you. When I saw they were 30% off AND had the size and colour I wanted, I decided to bite the bullet and order them. They are as beautiful in person as I thought they would be. The only downside, like I said earlier in the post, is the first couple of wears have bee pretty uncomfortable. Hopefully it will get better after I wear them a couple more times.

Are there any items on your fall shopping list? Perhaps something you’ve had your eye on for months? Ha!

Hello, and Welcome to A Weekly Look

Mindy ELeave a comment

It’s finally here! My very first blog post for A Weekly Look.

I created this blog for the Foundations of Digital Communications Strategy & Social Media class I’m taking through the University of Toronto. I plan on sharing outfit of the day photos, outfit details, reviews of new clothing and accessory purchases, and anything else that I think would be worth sharing.

Here’s my first outfit. I wore it to work on Friday, hence the jeans. However, I was doing a presentation to all staff, so I didn’t want to look too casual.

I have already learned one lesson–take photos during the day! I took these later in the evening and had a lot of issues with getting the proper lighting. I’m going to work on getting better photos for the next outfit I post.

Outfit details:

White and black lace top – Purchased at Queen V last year
Blazer – RW&Co (link to exact blazer)
Jeans – 7 for all mankind, purchased at Marbella Clothing last year
Earrings – Also purchased at Queen V, possibly at the same time I bought the top, ha!
Ankle booties – Vince Camuto, purchased from Nordstrom earlier this year

Any tips for taking outfit photos? (When you’re taking the photo yourself) I’ll have to experiment and hopefully I step up my photo game for next week!
