Hey hey :) ! It's been a while but I'm back with a new fashion post! If you haven't already, check out my last beauty post here : http://www.pendasarr.com/2016/11/how-to-reduce-dark-spots-and-acne-scars.html.

One thing that I love about Toronto is that every corner has something special. I always pay attention to my surroundings because they help me with my photo ideas. The location for this shoot is actually a building I pass by on my way to class everyday . It was only a couple of weeks ago that I realized  how its colors and overall architecture were actually very simple and minimalistic, just like my style.

So, after noticing how neat of a place it was, I scoped out the location and brainstormed outfit ideas. I don't know if I'm the only one who does this, but I like to envision potential looks when I'm in a place, just to see how it would fit in. I blame that on my obsession with Polyvore but we can talk about that in another post.

For this look, I wanted something monochromatic and simple, with just a dash of color. To stay within the "autumn/winter" theme, I chose to wear semi-mesh black culottes, paired with a light wool turtleneck, and bejeweled gold earrings and rings.

My favorite part of the outfit is of course, my powder pink heeled flats. I saw these whilst shopping at Zara(because yes it's my my 2nd home) and I just had to buy them! I love the suede texture of the shoes and the glossy heel, it's a cool style. It also helps that they're super comfortable to walk around in. Zara has other models too, these just stood out to me because of their unique color.





Also, I feel like I need to point out how cold it was that day haha. I seriously think it was like -20 degrees, but I really wanted to capture this look before I left for the holidays so I was like "ok, you're just going to have to endure, the final results will be worth it". And that, they were. I'm really happy with the outcome of the pictures ; I wanted to show how an all-black outfit and a colorful shoe can elevate a look. My neighbor's building was also the perfect backdrop, the scenery frames the outfit well, like in these photos below:




We were also lucky because that specific location had an array of buildings around it, so the photographer (https://www.instagram.com/abala_inc/) and I got to play with angles :








With that being said, I think I'm going to try and create some more looks with heeled-flats. They are my newfound obsession and I want to experiment with them.
