Practically Perfect

I'm a sucker for a good dress.

Thankful

Our Thanksgiving weekend was pretty darn good.

Fly Me to the Moon

I do love a good graphic tee - but I don't wear one very often. Honestly, I find I'm drawn to solid brights, a funky pattern or even just a neutral (hello - how many black tee-shirts does one girl need?). But a couple of years ago we were in Florida on a family vacation and visited Kennedy Space station - and when I saw this tee, I had. to. have. it.

Garden Party

Recently I attended a "garden party" themed bridal shower for a family friend.

The decor was lovely and it was nice to see ladies in a lot of flowy, floral dresses.

Play it again, Kid!

So, obviously a staple of the Mom wardrobe is items that can be worn many times over with many different pieces. I wouldn't even REMOTELY say that I have a minimalist wardrobe, but I definitely have a lot of mix and match items.

That's why the fancy leggings are back - and I've worn them with my grey asymmetrical tee from Torrid. I love love love this tee. It's so funky and different, and yet it's so. freaking. comfortable, it's legitimately like walking around wearing pajamas in public - but, you know, without the weird stares and judging and stuff.

I was at my big kid's ultimate frisbee tournament all day when I wore this, so I definitely needed pockets (to put my phone and all the other random things my kid hands me during the day), so I topped it with my acid-wash denim vest... which always makes me think of the 90s. But in a good way.

Super comfortable sandles, curly hair and a dark lip for some drama (cause you KNOW Mama lives for the Drama, lol).

Expect to see any/all of these pieces over and over again!

This is where I link up!

Belt it out

Sorry I've been MIA babes - I am having a hard time settling into my new work schedule - and sometimes my anxiety gets the better of me.

Fancy?

Actual conversation I had with my Grandmother while wearing this outfit:
Grams: What's wrong with your legs?
Me: Nothing, why?

Dandy

Ok, so first things first - YES, I know our yard is covered in dandelions.

Spring(ish)

Oh, I have been dying for some spring-like weather! I mean, I know that here in Canada we have gotten a light dusting of snow as late as the Victoria Day weekend - but still! I need sunshine! I need warmth! I need flowers and bees and spring thunderstorms and green everywhere! Come. On. Spring.

Ladies Nite

I have a great group of girlfriends from my home church and we try to get out for a Ladies Nite as often as we can.

Wear it Anyway

Oh friends - let me tell you the story of this dress.

I have owned this for probably almost 15 years. It hasn't seen an awful lot of wear and I'll tell you why. I bought this before the hubs and I got married, and I *thought* then that I was "too fat" to wear this dress. It was something I would wear just around the house, never outside, rarely even if someone was coming by. I was embarrassed by how it showed my tummy (which was nothing then compared to now! LOL), it was tight on my arms, and well - there's a lot of boob going on with this dress.

Easter Best

Ah Easter. Springtime, flowers and new life. I love it.

An Uncommon Silhouette

First - let me apologize for the pics today, readers - I don't know what was going on with my camera, but everything came out blurry - missed point of focus.... man I need to hire a photographer, rather than using a timer! (Any volunteers? Lol)

What Mama Wants

I've posted this tee-tunic on my Instagram before - and it meets one of my many "wants" when it comes to clothing: comfort while still stylish.

Niagara on the Lake

Just recently I went to Niagara on the Lake for a girls weekend with my Mother and sisters.

Celebrate

I can't believe how fast time goes these days. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was hanging out in highschool with my friends and acting like a fool.

Leg(ging)s for days

Oh my goodness, #momlife, am I right?

Sometimes I feel like I live in leggings. There are days when getting up and putting on PANTS is just too exhausting to think about, lol.

Those boyfriend jeans

I admit it, the "boyfriend jean" was not a style I understood for a while. I love me some jeggings - I don't like to put "extra" fabric around my body because it just makes it look bigger than it is.

But THESE boyfriend jeans? I got them at Torrid (actually I bought them online because I need the tall inseam) and I. Am. Obsessed.

Red Sweater Tee

It's been so so dry here lately - so much so that there's a total fire ban on where our cottage is because there are brush and forest fires breaking out! So I was so glad that it's been raining for the past couple of days - because we need it!

Repeat on Repeat

You know how you have those few items in your closet that you just love.... and you will probably continue to love for years to come? That's how I feel about this top and this purse.
