Red Shoe Zone style expert Micolle Canido<\/strong> shares her take on Fall 2015 and encourages YUMMY Agers<\/a>\u00a0to think of fashion as FUN and to keep it playful!<\/p>\n Cheryl: You can always spot the \u00a0women who are having fun with \u00a0style..they’re SMILING! Remembering back —that’s what the red shoes<\/a>\u00a0encouraged me to do–play! \u00a0It’s funny when we have fun in one part of our lives it has a way of seeping into other areas and giving us permission to take more risks. \u00a0Journalist \u00a0Cintra Wilson (former Critical Shopping columnist at the New York TImes) recently published a book called Fear & Clothing. In it she says, “to change your presentation is to force the evolution of your character–to shape your insides and give your future self a jump start, buy new boots you think are too exciting for you, and make your personality grow into them.”<\/p>\n Thanks for the reminder Micolle…got some ‘growing’ to do!<\/p>\n Micolle:<\/strong> I\u2019ve always been a fashion magazine hoarder as far as I can remember but over the last few years I have made a conscious effort to\u2026save a few trees\u2026put a complete stop to all my subscriptions and cave into my fashion magazine weakness by tapping into the digital world. BUT come Fall (\u201clayering season\u201d my favourite time of year) I allow myself to pick up some big, fat fashion magazines and indulge into what I like to call my \u201cfashion porn\u201d!<\/em><\/p>\n As a style influencer, I\u2019m not necessarily looking for the next \u201cbig\u201d fashion trend\u2026I\u2019m looking for inspiration and articles of clothing that can easily be incorporated into everyday street-wear for women everywhere. I encourage women to aim for pieces that have lasting power and carry a sense of chicness\u2026My philosophy with fashion is simple\u2026have fun, be playful, buy quality over quantity\u2026and don\u2019t take it too seriously. I feel you can\u2019t break the rules anymore when it comes to fashion because there are no rules when it comes to self-expression.<\/em><\/p>\n Vancouver street style<\/p><\/div>\n Meet Lorelei (left). I literally stopped her in her tracks on the streets of Vancouver, Canada last week because not only did I recognize the skirt she was wearing but she spoke to everything I try and share with women on a day to day basis. At 55, she is having fun, being playful and owning it from head to toe!<\/em><\/p>\n This season try a pair of high-waist wide pants, culottes, or carrot pants like I did. The key is to play with proportion correctly. Being 5\u20192\u201d and having more of an hourglass figure, I found a pair of carrot pants (high-waist, wide on top and narrow towards the bottom) that flattered my hips and gave the illusion of lengthening my legs\u2026always a perk for me!<\/em><\/p>\n Micolle in her carrot pants<\/p><\/div>\n So go on\u2026flirt a little with falls sumptuous fabrics, textures and cuts in alluring dimensions\u2026whether it bares a little leather or lace, bohemian luxury, or layers on a romantic notion\u2026there is no doubt something inspiring for everyone.<\/em><\/p>\n A few of my fall must haves\u2026detachable faux fur collar, it adds texture and warmth . Nudes are still going strong and a boiled wool vest is a great layering piece . High-waist black denim jeans and a hat to complete the look.
