You have a day off and your workload has finally eased up enough for you to read the latest Alice McDermott. Soak in the nostalgia of yesteryear with a hearty visit to the public library wearing a studious affair like this. Why? Over-read librarians are virtually allergic to heels - wear this if you might want help. A simple printed Mango dress (www.shopbop.com) calls for these two-toned wingtip brogues. A sturdy Roots bag (www.roots.ca) is a stylishly pragmatic choice to hold the stack of books you take out. Oh, and Paris Vogue can be heavy sometimes, too.


Like the shoes. Very much a part of the current menswear trend. I had to a double take at first, thinking they were actually men’s.
You’re not kidding about Paris Vogue…I’ve strained many a muscle on that magazine. Oh yeah..and textbooks too.
