The Petite Philosopher

Thoughtful Style.

Fashion

The belt.

“The most creative people have this childlike facility to play.” – John Cleese

I feel like this crop top has been in frequent rotation all summer long, and I continue to see it as a wardrobe staple as weather cools. In a previous post I paired it with bright red shorts, but today I dressed it up more with suede sandals and a wool hat. Honestly, the only item that is actually new is the skirt. I think mixing a matching the clothing that you already own can be fun and creative, much like creating a capsule collection.

This outfit was perfect for a day strolling downtown Detroit. My husband and I ended up hanging around in an alley next to the Z parking garage called The Belt. In this alley are colourful murals, the restaurant/bar Standby, and a new find for us, The Skip, which has some of the tastiest alcoholic slushies. Detroit is definitely one of my favourite cities, and I’m so lucky to be living in such close proximity to it!

Top: Aritzia. Skirt: Tobi. Bag: Chloe. Hat: Aldo Accessories (old, similar here). Shoes: Cole Haan. Earrings: Forever 21. Watch: Chanel. Bracelets: Baublebar. Lips: MAC Viva Glam I.
