For a 3 day trip to visit my mom in Ottawa, I wore some outfits I’ve worn before (2 months ago?) since I thought they would work for the urban environment. She lives in a retirement home that is in a ‘cool’ part of town with an urban village feel. Funnily enough (but not surprising!) I saw other women in similar combinations - black skirt, t-shirt + jean jacket, and wide leg black pants + jean jacket.
Note: during our shopping excursion, I noted the colour palettes in the shops were considerably muted. Anything that was ‘colour’ looked greyed down or dirty vs clear and bright. Lots of black and grey, but not as much camel or carmel, though I did see some brown. I did see hunter green and burgundy, but even those colours were darker and muddier than the hunter and burgundy of previous seasons.
