What I Wore This Week, Ep. 2 | Sweatpants, Stripes & Snakeskin
This past week on Instagram went a little something like this.
Geoff and I visited the real Schitt’s Creek, aka, Goodwood, Ontario. Just north of Toronto, this little quaint town is exactly as it looks on the TV show, with a few varying details - Rose Apothecary is actually Romni Wools, a knitting shop closed for the winter that will be re-opening in April. Café Tropical isn’t a restaurant, but a private residence. Bob’s Garage is a wheelchair workshop, and Roland’s House is a real residence. You can find more details on my Instagram here, and a video tour on my IG Stories highlights. For our trip, I wore sweatpants and a graphic Balenciaga scarf that I only hope David Rose would approve of.
Monday marked the first whole week back to work for many of us after the 2019 X-mas/New Year break. After nearly three years of working from home as a freelance blogger, I felt it was time for a change and started the new year with a new office job. You might see more business casual looks on my social media, but don't worry, they'll still be edgy. On top of my Monday to Friday day job, I'll also continue to produce new content for the blog, Instagram, and YouTube.
Finally, I announced this week on my IG that I will be starting a conscious consumption year. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now and I’m at a point where I’m very happy with the contents of my closet, so it feels like the timing is right. The awesome part is that some of you guys are also starting, or going into your second low-buy year, so I feel like we can support each other in this journey. I’ll be uploading a video on this to my YouTube channel soon, so be sure you’re subscribed!
Keep scrolling for my full week in outfits.
1// SWEATPANTS & SWEATSHIRT
Wearing Essentials sweatpants, a black sweatshirt, and a Balenciaga logo scarf with a beige coat on a chilly winter day.
2// BALENCIAGA KNIFE MULES IN BRONZE
Here I’m wearing a cropped beige jacket from LPA clothing, a white tank, black paper bag waist pants, and my Balenciaga bronze leather knife mules. This colour was a Net-a-porter exclusive which I happened to score on sale a while back.
3// LOUIS VUITTON EMPREINTE LEATHER MONOGRAM BUMBAG
One of my favourite purchases from last year was this Louis Vuitton empreinte leather monogram bumbag. For my review on this bag, head over to my YouTube channel, youtube.com/woahstyle.
4// CHANEL JUMBO FLAP BAG
Wearing my Chanel patent leather jumbo flap bag and styled it similarly to the brand’s Gabrielle bag.
5// STRIPED SWEATER WORN TWO WAYS
Pairing black & white with neutrals for a daytime, work appropriate look. I love how the faux-snakeskin Alexander Wang Parker loafers add something unexpected to the outfit.
Styling the same outfit with my green satin Balenciaga BB slingbacks and my Chanel jumbo flap bag.
6// WINTER LAYERS
Finally, a throwback to my New York trip last year. I took this photo as I was just finishing packing. There’s no way I would have put my Away carry-on on the bed otherwise.

I’m very much a homebody, so my ideal New Year’s Eve situation is hanging out on the couch with a glass of bubbly and watching some Netflix.

REVIEW: My NEW LOEWE Medium Puzzle Bag + Mini Loewe Puzzle & Small Hammock Bag
I got my medium Loewe puzzle bag two weeks before filming and uploading this video, and I’m shocked that the price has gone up by $1000 since then!!! My timing couldn’t have been better!
If you guys are looking at getting this bag for yourself and it’s now become too expensive, I highly recommend looking at the preloved market.
I hope you’ll enjoy my review!

Nathalie

One Outfit Styled Two Ways
I love a good blazer as much as the next dude. It’s an easy way to dress up an outfit and feel like you have your shit together, which is why the top half portion of my closet consists of them. I know that doesn’t mean anything to you since you have nothing to compare it to, and that's why we’re only focusing on two blazers everyone should have in their collection - a good ol’ beige jacket, and a classic grey plaid one.
Here, the fundamentals of my outfit stay the same, a black bodysuit, Alexander Wang combat boots, and a pair of Adidas joggers. (LOL’ing at this a little because I was too lazy to put on trousers.)
All I did was change up the jacket and the bag, and voila, a new outfit.
It just goes to show that you don’t have to overthink what you wear, trying to think of a new outfit every day. When something works, it works.
1// For this outfit, I’m wearing an LPA blazer from Revolve. This shorter jacket has full sleeves and wide lapel for a different cut. I accessorized with my Louis Vuitton Monogram leather empreinte bumbag to give the look an edgier vibe. (Watch my YouTube review on this bag here.)
2// For this look, I went for a structured and tailored jacket. I scored this one on sale at Zara a year or more ago, and it’s proven to be a good investment as I’ll often reach for it. To give the jacket some contract, I accessorized with my Kara biker wallet with a giant silver chain. It makes an edgy statement and ties the aesthetic back to the metal hardware on my Alexander Wang Kennah boots.

The Unexpected Color You'll Want To Wear This Season
At the start of each season, I’ll pick up a copy of Vogue’s runway review. You know, the one. It’s that thick magazine that costs about $45 (CAD) and reports on all of the runway trends for the upcoming season. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see bright pinks, yellows, and vibrant purples from the top designers like Balenciaga, Givenchy, and Burberry.
It’s nice to see bright pink in the dreary cold months amongst a sea of black and neutral coats. And no shade to those colors because you know that I love an all-black OOTD, but adding a vibrant pop of color is a great way to break things up and instantly lighten your mood.
Below you’ll find some of my favorite ways to incorporate this unexpected color into your fall wardrobe.
WHAT I’M WEARING: COAT, HELMUT LANG. SWEATER, ACNE STUDIOS. PANTS, REVOLVE LEATHER PAPER BAG TROUSERS. SHOES, ALEXANDER WANG KENNAH BOOTS.
WHAT I’M WEARING: LONG COAT, ZARA $179 (exact here). SWEATER, ARITZIA, CIRCA 2018. PANTS, RAG & BONE. SHOES, VEJA. BAG, LOUIS VUITTON, EMPREINTE LEATHER MONOGRAM BUMBAG.
WHAT I’M WEARING: COAT, OPENING CEREMONY NYLON JACKET. SWEATER & BEANIE, BALENCIAGA. SWEATPANTS, ZARA. SHOES, SAINT LAURENT. GLASSES, BONLOOK.
WHAT I’M WEARING: COAT, HELMUT LANG. PANTS & SWEATER, ZARA, CIRCA 2018. BAG, LOEWE. SHOES, PRADA.

3 Blazers Everyone Should Own
To say I’m obsessed with blazers is an understatement. In my opinion, it’s the easiest way to change up an outfit and make it feel more refined and put together. Even with jeans, and a pair of sneakers, a blazer will always elevate an outfit.
This fall I’m finding myself gravitating more towards the oversized fit. Taking into consideration that I’m being more conscious these days about keeping a well-curated closet, I have to say that I’m impressed at how this particular piece of clothing has made my existing wardrobe feel more current.
Earlier in the season, I picked up two of the same fit from Zara, one in black and camel (for $139 CAD each), and as you can see from this post, I can’t get enough of them. If you guys are in the same boat as me and don’t want to add unnecessary clutter to your wardrobe, I highly recommend picking one of these up for yourselves.
WHAT I’M WEARING: ZARA, Blazer. SWEATER, Acne Studios. PANTS, Aritzia. SHOES, Veja. BAG, Louis Vuitton, Empreinte Leather Monogram Bumbag.
THE BLACK OVERSIZED BLAZER
If there’s any piece of clothing that you should be investing in, it’s a black blazer. It’s one of those pieces that you’ll always reach for in your closet and will be appropriate for work, on a date night with your partner, dinner with friends, and on those casual days when you want to feel pulled together, but still want rock a pair of jeans and sneakers.
PLAID OVERSIZED BLAZER
I love a good plaid blazer and for the fall season, and I’ll opt for wool to keep me warm during those chilly days. My favorite way to wear plaid is with either a matching pant or leather paper bag trouser for a more badass look. Either way, you can’t go wrong with this classic.
Opt for a grey or brown color combo if you want something that will go with everything in your closet, or go for pops of color, or a bold, large plaid pattern if you’re looking to make a statement.
CAMEL OVERSIZED BLAZER
Camel is another core item you’ll want to add to your closet if you don’t already have it. The combination of black and camel looks seriously fierce. Camel also looks very elegant when paired with neutral tones like white, off white or light grey.
STYLE TIP: If there’s a blazer that you happen to like but it’s not oversized fit, simply go up a size or two to get the look. It’s what I did with my camel Zara blazer and I get loads of comments on it on Instagram.
