Catherine Darbellay and Jory Simpson
Connie Novitski: Fun and frugal
By Jeanette Stewart Catherine Darbellay and Jory Simpson are both youth workers in Saskatoon. The stylish couple like to travel and pick up different clothing and accessories as they go. Darbellay said looking sharp helps her when working with kids. “It helps with my work if I look a little more with it. If you come in looking nice they respond a bit better.”

For the past couple of years, Connie Novitski has looked to Zooey Deschanel for fashion cues. Novitski identifies with the celebrity’s quirky, indie style. “She’s probably the only person that’s ever really stood out (to me) as being unique,” says Novitski, who works in marketing at the U of R Centre for Continuing Education and is launching a graphic design business this fall. The look she’s created today is “something that’s a bit more work oriented but still fun, still flowy.”

1. EARRINGS: Somewhere in Toronto. 2. DRESS: H&M, Toronto. “Birds are significant to us as a couple. I just liked it. I like the waistline, I like the way it flares out a little and has a bit of a sleeve.”

3. SHOES: Wal-Mart. “They had a wedge that I could walk in for long periods of time and they still look feminine. It’s an easy way to get the heel look without suffering the pain of the heel.”

Jory Simpson 1. HAT: “My great-great-uncle was from England and he brought over a bunch of hats when he was young and I have a few of those really old ones. They’re sort of antiques now ... I’m wearing the more modern ones that I can sacrifice to weather and usual wear and tear.”
