Toronto Fashion Jobs – It’s A Sheer Summer

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Stay cool under the sun in light, translucent pieces. Work sheer tops, skirts, and dresses into a modest wardrobe by sticking to sheer accents, layering over a tank top or slip. For the daring type, just see what you can get away with. This look is best with blousy, loose silhouettes—anything too tight borders on tasteless.

1. Zig Zag Lace Scoop Back Dress, $56, available at American Apparel.

2. Silk Blend Button Up, $29.80, available at Forever 21.

3. Black Layered Maxi Skirt, $80, available at TopShop.

5. Acne Denim Spellbinder Silk Shirt Dress, $200, available at Jonathan + Olivia.

6. Striped Sheer T-Shirt, $19.99, available at Kensie.

Canada Fashion Jobs – Working Girl

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Striving to look professional sometimes leads to snooze-worthy fashion. If your 9-5 uniform is putting you to sleep, inject some drama into your day with the quintessential work dress. When you’re not worried about competing separates it’s easy to look put together with virtually no effort, which is perfect for blurry-eyed early mornings. Add visual interest with subtle ruffles, lace and pops of colour. To keep things office-appropriate, avoid skinny straps, too-short hemlines and flimsy fabrics.

1. Irene Dress, $295, available at Teenflo
2. Sheer On Top Dress, $58, available at Kensie
3. Belted Soutache Lace Dress, $2,595, available at Michael Kors
4. Layla Leather Dress by Rag & Bone, $999, available at Jonathan + Olivia
5. Silk Ruffle Layer Dress, $84.99, available at Banana Republic
6. Tailored Shirt Dress, $298, available at BCBG MaxAzria
