{Photos by Paul Milaire}As much fun as it has been colour blocking and wearing brights this season, I've recently been drawn toward more classic and subdued looks (which also coincides with a new-found shopping philosophy). Although this outfit does not exactly adhere to the definition of classic, the colour palette itself is one that I will never tire of: white (or cream), black and gold, dashes of red with some leopard thrown in for good measure.Wearing: thrifted blouse, Forever 21 skirt, …
