errrr … I mean Canadian. Obviously. Prep School meets the All American for the Bloggers Do It Better project!
It has rained eleven out of eighteen days. I hate the rain, I hate rain boots too, so if you are a rain boot wearer – beware … yes … even hunters. I only wear them when I absolutely have to, otherwise … I’m rocking heels, well … booties, but still.
I am so proud of Kristina over at Pretty Shiny Sparkly and her Bloggers Do It Better venture. It has really taken off, and proven to work in terms of networking and sending [and receiving] love.
This weeks challenge was Prep School ; but seeing as I am Canadian, and Prep School as well as American tailored-letter-jacket-esq look has never crossed the border, I really had to dig in my walk-in closet. Lucky for me, not to far was a recent find of electric blue high waisted trousers. God I love thrift finds.
I re-tweeted @shopdandy this week, she wrote Blogging is a community not a competition. Support each other, your blog will benefit from that. I truly believe that ; and I hope you [as a reader] do too. I have a small circle of blogging friends, most whom I met at New York Fashion Week, and these girls help me, test me, and teach me – even if they are far far away! I urge us [yes you and I us] to become blogging friends, and push one another.
HAT: Gap ’08
TOP: Marc Jacobs with White Cravat
SWEATER: Thrifted Red, White & Blue stripped jersey sweater [in the scariest place in Toronto] $2 find.
TROUSERS: Thrifted electric blue pant [they fit like they were made for me]
SHOES: Miu Miu [I can't believe I didn't take a decent picture - fack!]
So true about blogging not being a competition! I can’t take the people who think that way seriously. Anyway, love your take on American Prep with the play on red, white, and blue! Clever! I’m also super jealous of your backdrop…if only NYC had places like that!
your pants are so so fab

Thank you for your comment on my post.. haha… I’m going to hide my shoes now, but you can have the tie!
The challenge was indeed difficult, I almost gave up as well! But I love your take on it! I would wear that outfit… and that is an awesome thrift find!
You did a really great job, I love the red, white n blue!
Such true and beautiful words. Happy to be a bloggy friend of yours! Looking forward to our next NYFW venture together

Hi Kendall,
Thank you for visiting and commenting on Mode Plus.
I completely agree with you pointing out the community side of blogging.
Being a newbie, i must say I experienced such support from the blogging world around the globe.
I do believe in sharing not only your content but also of others. For me blogging, especially about fashion, should also be about inspiring others. You did with your look but also with your content.
