“I’ve got a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes I fling open the doors of my closet and stare it down hoping something will miraculously jump out – fully put together and accessorized (of course). \u00a0It never does and I default to my same old same old. You too?<\/p>\n

That’s why we’re so lucky to have \u00a0Red Shoe Style Expert Micolle Canido.<\/strong> Micolle knows her stuff and is best described as a magician when it comes to creating style.<\/p>\n

I remember the time she came to my house in response to my pleas of h-e-e-e-e-lp<\/em>. I’d been asked to give a keynote and needed something <\/em>to wear. She was like a Ninja as she went through my closet. She pulled things out, laid them on the bed and then instructed me to start trying on this with that and that with this. Combos I’d never (even) remotely thought of. We found something awesome. From my own closet! WOW! Imagine that!! It had style, personality and kind of a cool quality. “I actually own this?” \u00a0<\/em>Incredible.<\/p>\n

In my dream life Micolle is my own personal stylist and puts me together every day. I am a style maven like her!<\/p>\n

But alas I know that isn’t likely to happen sooooo<\/em> the next best thing is to ask her to share style inspiration with all of us.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with…..Micolle what are you wearing this Fall?<\/em><\/p>\n

MICOLLE: I Love Fall!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>I wait with great anticipation for this time of year\u2026 excited to see the fall collections hit the retail outlets and give life to washed out summer sale window displays across the city. September and October also bring Fashion Week and I get equally caught up capturing glimpses of fashion houses as they debut their Womenswear Spring\/Summer 2017 collections (more on that later) \u2026but hands down\u2026Fall is my season premiere!<\/em><\/p>\n

YES TO CARGO PANTS<\/h2>\n

To kick of the season, I recently purchased a pair of cargo pants. I never thought I would see this day but I too need to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone. They are urban cool but dressy enough to throw together with a silk shirt and stilettos.\u00a0<\/em>I know what you may be thinking but let me tell you when I wear them, I feel like I\u2019m channeling my inner Gwen Stefani, who at 46 continues to influence and empower women of all ages through her music and fearless fashion sense.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"MICOLLE<\/a>

Never thought I’d see the day but I said YES to Cargo Pants<\/p><\/div>\n

YES TO VESTS<\/h2>\n

One item I\u2019m happy to see more of this season, are vests. They\u2019re a staple in my closet and I have them in a few different neutral colours. My favourite one is a heavier weighted knit that hits me just above my knee and has long side slits. The slits give the vest effortless movement. Being 5\u20192 I tend to wear the same colour as the vest giving it a sophisticated tone on tone look. Add a belt or not, vests are easy and the perfect layering piece for the season. I’ve also worn my vests with my new<\/em> cargo pants and flats for a more daytime look.<\/p>\n

\"Micolle<\/a>

Vests…long ..short ..in between. I go for tone on tone to make 5’2″ look as long and lean as possible.<\/p><\/div>\n

YES TO MOTORCYCLE JACKET<\/h2>\n

Although the motorcycle jacket is a timeless piece that will never really loose its coolness factor and I have one that I wear to death, this season I invested in this little number from JACbyJC. It was one of those pieces I saw months ago and knew I had to have it. The butter like leather, exaggerated collar, and \u00be length sleeves was everything I wanted in a belted fall waistcoat. It\u2019s great with jeans but I\u2019ll also be wearing it with a long silk slip dress on date nightsJ<\/p>\n

YES TO BOOTIES<\/h2>\n

These days I\u2019m focusing a lot more on comfort when it comes to footwear. My heels are often on standby if I need to elevate a look from day to night. The block heel with a pointed toe is working perfectly for me these days as it gives me a bit of height and keeps me comfortable if I\u2019m on my feet for long periods of time. Those that know me know I don\u2019t sit still for long!\u00a0 And when I need to be super comfortable and chic at the same time I \u201cheart\u201d these.<\/p>\n

\"Micolle<\/a>

I love these black booties<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This wraps up a few of my go to pieces to get me through this fall. They are practical, simple, comfortable, and look fashion forward without trying too hard. As for any trends that I\u2019m following this season\u2026I have to say chokers and the slip dress.<\/p>\n

Have fun with what fall has to offer. Add a few quality pieces into your wardrobe to reflect the season of layering. Quality over quantity is what I always say. And remember to stay true to your personal style regardless what the trends say.<\/p>\n

A LOOK AHEAD TO SPRING – JAC 2017 SPRING COLLECTION<\/h2>\n

Now as promised here’s a sneak peek at the JAC\u00a02017 Spring Collection. I’ve been a fan of JAC \u00a0designer Rozemerie Cuevas since the day we met 16 years ago. Insiders describe her style as French Bohemian with Italian sexiness and North American cool. I love the clean lines and subtle edginess and most importantly the fact her designs can be worn in multiple ways.<\/p>\n

Watch the JAC 2017 Spring Collection as it was showcased during Fashion Week 2016.<\/p>\n
