Jacket – Zara // Top – unknown // Jeans – Gap // Boots – c/o Dansko // Sunnies – F21
You know how they say shoes make the outfit? Well they do. These cool Dansko boots have a great weight and feel to them. Such that they give me a bit of a strut.. and hells yeah I’ll take that. I put on the outfit and felt good about it, but when I put on the shoes all of a sudden I got a bit of rockstar attitude. Yes, I know it’s all in my head and I’m not really a rockstar but hey that’s what clothes are for right? To play pretend.
The boots are really what did it. Despite the fact that my bootcut pants covered the top of them *side note: can’t wait to wear them with a cute dress to show off the button detail* they added a great finesse to my whole day. I love the classic cut with a little unique detailing. It’s something that can go with anything in your closet, and be timeless, but still have a bit of stand alone edge.
Oh and yeah, they’re super comfy. My feet were not sore after a whole day of walking, meetings, and biking. Yes, I biked in them all around Toronto. That’s just how I roll.

August 14, 2013I love flared jeans! They definitely don't get enough love on the blogosphere! Glad the booties are comfortable! It's so hard to find a pair that fits perfectly!

August 14, 2013I know. Bootcut has seemed to be the black sheep of fashion lately. But it's really a classic cut I think.

August 14, 2013These are great jeans, Joanna – I too love a skinny flare but yes they then cover your shoes… dilemma! Tends to be why I wear my skinnies more often! I love your Einstein tee/floral blazer combo. Can't beat a great rock tee (he's a rock star too 😉

Wow! biking around Toronto? I thought Mayor Ford said it wasn't safe enough?
Just kidding! 😀 Enjoy the nice weather 😉

August 22, 2013Hi there! New follower from Lena's blog. I love the blazer (isn't Zara the best for cool jackets?!) and the boots. Love boots in general and I love me a good granny detail like buttons! I hope one day ill be as stylish a mom as you are! But right now I'm still in survival mode with 11 month ok twins! They are usually pretty stylish though ;). Look forward to easing more from you!

August 23, 2013Thank you so very much Mercedes! I'm always touched when a new reader joins ModaMama, and I really appreciate that you took a moment to say 'hello.'
I love some fun detailing too – it's just that little bit extra you know?
You are my Wonder Woman! I admire women who manage to make multiples work because I was so tired out with one, I'm amazed by women like you who keep it together with multiples at the same time! Hats off to you! Honestly.
