The holiday season can get pretty overwhelming, trying to cross everyone off of your list, attending countless events while still maintaining your sanity. One way I cut down on the stress is to multitask with my holiday wardrobe. The difficult part is finding the pieces that are able to transition from the conservative office to a fun, fresh evening look. Lucky for us, many Canadian retailers have the same idea. I personally love Jacob and Club Monaco clothing; I find their attire to be so fun and feminine, yet conservative and classic at the same time. Another store worth checking out is Canada’s leading department store, The Bay which carries a wide range of designer brands from high to low end apparel including two of my favorite lines, Top Shop and BCBG MAX AZRIA. Don’t fret if you can’t make it out to the busy malls, check out websites like net-a-porter.com which offers a range of amazing designer clothing. No matter what you choose, these brands will help you look fabulous from day to night.
