Style Bee in a grey dress, botkier bag and converse sneakers

It would seem that Converse creepers are the unofficial footwear of the season. I’m 100% on board, in fact, my first pair of Chucks were red and purchased in high school during a mild pseudo punk phase. I added black laces and convinced myself I belonged at the Warped Tour and in sweaty underground mosh pits. Looking back I cringe at the cliche I was so eager to participate in, but that’s just teen angst I suppose. Now I’m back on the Chuck train with a slightly more refined rendition and I’m thrilled about their pairing potential. They add just the right amount of indifference to damn near any outfit. I consider them the shrugging shoulder of the modern closet.

In a super casual little grey smock dress and a red Botkier cross-body bag (another mega sale score at 60% off) I’m ready for whatever the day brings. On this particular one, it was a long walk to and through High Park followed by some pre-work week prep on the patio. Not too bad at all.

Botkier is a brand I’d been eyeing for some time and when they had a 60% off sale I jumped on the chance to bring one of their classics home. I was thrilled to find that the detailing, finishes and hardware all exceeded my expectations and the leather was a stunningly rich cardinal red. It’s the perfect little bag to hold everything essential and raise the caliber of any outfit.
