So 90s

I pretty much always adhere to the rule "If you wore it the first time, you shouldn't wear it the second time" and since stirrup pant leggings, empire waist/spaghetti strap dresses and wild patterns were SO my jam in the 90s, I do try to avoid them when they make a resurgance in the stores.... mostly.

Timeless

I've worn this dress several times already - I'm pretty sure I've even posted it here on the blog, and every time I think "I should style this differently" and then, I just.... don't.

Family Photo Fest

Back at the beginning of November my family got together at one of the local parks and met with a very talented young photographer, Ashley Topping, to have some family photos done. The last time we did this as a large group my littl'un was just a baby - and he's now 5, so we were certainly due for an update. My sisters and I all split on the cost of the session with Ashley (which was incredibly reasonably priced, I might add) and gave the photo session to our parents as a birthday gift - their birthdays are only 5 days apart.

Leggings for Days

If I have a fall Mom-iform (that's mom uniform for the uninitiated) it's leggings and a tunic. Seriously - it doesn't get much easier than pulling on some good leggings and a nice tunic and just taking the day head on.

Plaid Pencil

This asymmetric plaid skirt is a new addition to my wardrobe and it's so perfectly "fall" and will transition well into the winter months.

 

Tee-skirt

When I was in Buffalo with my sisters I saw this skirt at a Forever 21 for a whopping $6. Six bucks!

Who wears Plaid Pants?!

I had an almost unnecessary amount of excitement when I found these plaid pixie pants at Old Navy this fall.

Tunic Trend

I find it pretty amusing when I see things like "Tunics are on-trend for the plus-size woman" in advertisements or on fashion segments on day-time TV.

Shorty?

I actually laughed out loud when I looked at these pictures. I can hardly believe it, but I kind of look... well... short!

Black & Burgundy

Every single time I wear these pants I love them more. They are just so comfortable!

Weekend Away Date Night

The hubs and I were lucky to have a chance to get away for a weekend up in beautiful Huntsville, Ontario.

Navy and Wine

I love when I say the name of these two colours that they immediately make me think of drinking wine on a boat. Of course, I did neither of those things while wearing this outfit, but I still love those colours.

Cables and Velvet

I love lush, rich, wintery fabrics like velvet.

I Like this Recipe

I've said this before - when something works for you, it just works for you. Lately the leggings, long sweater, boots recipe has been really working for me. I mean that in the way that it's functional, comfortable, and easy to wear. I have a varied amount of leggings/jeggings/skinny pants and a varied amount of sweaters, tunics, sweater dresses, and a varied amount of boots. Mix, match, repeat.

OTK Boots

So where do you stand on over the knee boots? I'll admit, there are times when I put them on that I think they're a little bit.... um... "Pretty Woman" shall we say? I never, EVER wear them with just nylons underneath and a skirt. Tights, maybe. Leggings, yes. Jeans, most often. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE these boots. I have them in black and brown and they get a lot of wear... but it does make me feel a little questionable when I wear them up over the knee rather than folded down.
