Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty







Of course I would choose the 30° day to do my second ever Lookbook post! Today's look draws inspiration from European/Amsterdam-inspired style. I've always been a huge fan of stores such as Scotch and Soda, whose styles are wonderfully laid back, yet maintain an aura of refinement. 

I got this cute suspender shirt from Scotch and Soda as a gift last Christmas, and unfortunately, forgot about it, resulting in it hanging in my closet collecting dust. I was cleaning out my closet this morning, and thought I would compose an outfit based around this delectably playful shirt. I paired it with a pair of tan shorts from Topman, and a pair of tan oxfords with brown laces from Zara. Accessory wise, I thought my favorite slim watch from Casio would be a perfect touch of refinement. I also wore my crown design ring, from local store Oak and Fort, for that extra something.

The aforementioned sweltering heat of Edmonton summer turned my hair (which I spent like 20 minutes styling)  from a voluminous quiff to a messy side-swept hairstyle. Luckily, it didn't look horrendous, and actually kind of suited the outfit I put together. On a positive note, I am getting better and better at using my tripod to take photos. I'm getting a better sense of where to stand, and the angles and timing required to get a clear and visually appealing shot. It only goes uphill from here! ^_^
