Quebecois fashion, an oxymoron?

Hi fashionistas,

It's summer time and that means no school!

I will be going to Germany in a week and I fully intend to capture some German outfits pour vous. But in the mean time here is some Quebecois fashion.

Do you know about this other region in Canada called Quebec?

Let me just say it's complicated. Quebec is like that quirky aunt who is related to the family, but she functions in her own world, speaks her own language and eats her own kind of food. But DAMN her sons are hot and she makes good dinners. You love her cause she's different and adds a little "je ne sais quoi" into the family tree but aren't sure exactly how you managed to be related to her.

That is Quebec.
Quebec-ers live with an inferiority complex. Some think of them as as the red-necks of Paris.
They speak french with a hick-kind-of with an accent, some phrases are more-hick than others, (eg. In Quebec, the word for boyfriend/girlfriend = "chum" instead of "petit ami" in Paris) and the specialties are home-styled food BUT they AREN'T snobs like Parisians. And isn't that the important part? They make you feel like family.

Who said that the Quebecois are hicks? They have style too non? See for yourself.
