The Freshest Goods Market: Young entrepreneurs will set up booths to showcase their business and sell their wares at Nathan Phillips Square

There are times when high heels and a little black dress can make a woman feel sexy as hell. There are also times when wearing those items can seem like slow, painful torture!

A lot of women do not feel sexy and stylish if they are not comfy. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to sacrifice style for comfort. A good quality shoe that fits properly can stave off the inevitable pain that comes with high heels for a very long time. Planning is the key. If you know you’re going to be walking to the club, bring a pair of flip- flops.

Case in point… the young lady in today’s post who was on her way to the airport when I spotted her. This is a perfect example. You need to be comfortable because of the lifting and walking and climbing but you still wanna look good upon arrival.

The cute hoodie protected her from the chili rain and her accessories styled up the outfit. She will arrive comfortable and ready to enjoy a great vac-ay!

According to Paperdoll.com, Trouser Pants have been included in a few fall/winter collections for 2008. They are reminiscent of the Hammer pants of the mid 90’s but not as baggy and huge. The pic above clearly illustrates how these pants can be both sophisticated and street. Just like any other piece of clothing, it’s all about HOW you wear it. The models above are just that: Models, who most likely had a stylist put thier outfits together. It will be interesting to see how this style plays out in the street.
