Thankful

Our Thanksgiving weekend was pretty darn good.

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.

That's a wrap

I picked up this denim wrap dress about a month ago while at our local V-V Boutique (that's Value Village for those of you who don't speak Mama-Sarcasm) and it hung in my closet for a while because once I got it home I wasn't really sure how to wear it.

A little mix

I love prints. I love this blanket scarf that my sister gave me for my birthday this year. I love my denim jacket, and I love a good tunic with leggings. Could I get all of these things in one outfit? You know it!

Shades of Green

Green is not usually my colour. I mean, occasionally I venture into the green side of teal, and I have a few forest green items in my wardrobe, but there is a serious lack of green compared to the other colours of the rainbow.

Denim & Floral

You've definitely seen this dress a few times before - however, I think this is the first time I've worn it as a skirt.

Column of Crochet

Another great example of a prime varagesale find that just needed a bit of work!

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.

Mermaid Inspired & Link up

I will fully admit that my outfit today was inspired by how my hair re-do turned out. My Mom came by and helped me re-dye the blue in my hair and I'm kind of loving how the different shades of blue and teal all mixed together. It's like mermaid hair! I kind of love it.

Not much

I'm kind of out of things to say today.

 

Frankly, my deer...

Everyone has a few items in their closets that aren't necessarily fashionable, don't quite fit perfectly, but are so comfortable and so full of memory that it just feels good to break it out and wear it occasionally. That's how I feel about this deer cardigan.

Denim on Denim

Wearing anything that's denim-ish on both the top and the bottom walks a very fine line between being comfy and stylish and being a full-on Canadian tuxedo. And given that I'm a Canadian - that danger is even more present.

Relaxed

I'm starting to feel like my everyday wear is more about my down coat and various toques than anything else. Today was a busy day for me so it was a jeans, t-shirt, vest kind of day. I wore it with my snowboots, which were obviously too wet/snowy to take pictures in inside - hence the socks.

Feeling like Fall

I love the warm weather lately but occasionally in the morning it's starting to feel like fall. So even though I had to change the top of this outfit later in the day I wanted to put these two solids together because they have the richness I love in fall colours, but the light fabrics that work well for this time of year. I put on my super-comfy moccasins to walk the kids to school and hang out in my house and do laundry. Ah the exciting life of being a mom.
