things to buy while in Montreal...

I am not a crazy American Apparel fan with shiny metallic leotards hanging in my closet..but they do have the occasional cute find. From American Apparel I would like to buy:
this dress. It hugs all the right curves, while smooshing in the "bad" ones. Also this color, is that perfect shade of slate gray; gray mixed with a bit of purple. This picture doesn't show the open back, but the swooping neck line is definitely something to love. Extremely basic, wonderfully shic.






I really like this two toned pencil skirt and the idea of wearing it with the racer back tank top on the other side. But because these are both extremely basic, easy to wear pieces of clothing, they can be paired with most anything. I for one, love the fact that the arm holes of the tank do not come right up to the arm pits. Its a very sexy part of the body, and it often goes unnoticed (until this season).
The skirt is great because its either a high waisted pencil skirt or you can slink it down lower and wear it a bit more conservatively. There is nothing conservative about how it fits. Like the dress from the beginning, this skirt really does not lend anything to hide behind.

I really love the braided belt idea. I would prefer a belt that is a bit lighter in color and about a half an inch thinner. While this belt may not be exactly what I want, it definitely comes close to how I would like it to fit and where I would like to wear it.
I also love the floral pattern of the skirt. Even though florals are usually a spring print, I think if I want to I should be allowed to carry it over into the winter months, perhaps continue wearing them into the next summer. Especially if I love the garment. Shirt or skirt, really I just love the print.

Even though everyone now has a fedora, I still really really love them. What a wonderful way to wear loose natural wavy hair, and natural makeup. The hat definitely brings out the angles of the face, especially the jaw bone and, if you can see them, clavicle..two areas of the female body I am partial to. Pretty.

These $5.80 sunglasses are gorgeous! Black on the outside, red on the inside..they're definitely hiding something. Now if only I could find a matching scarf...(I would also like a pair of all black glasses frames in the same shape as these..fringe bangs and glasses, the perfect student/librarian look).
Look I found a scarf. Ideally I would want it to be yellow or white, not purple..but you get the idea. These scarves (Keffiyeh) are incredibly popular right now. I wonder if people understand the significance of the print..and the Keffiyeh for the matter.
