Tie one on

Do you have any items in your closet that you can never let go of? This sweater is one of those things for me. It belonged to my Mum, and is probably older than I am. 

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.

Weekday Workwear

I hardly ever brush out my curls.... I don't know why - I mean, I like how they look when I'm having a good hair day - and straightening my hair is a tonne of work, so really this is my only other option for styling this madness.

Fancy?

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

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.

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)

A Time Away

Dear Readers,

Are you still out there? If I've lost you forever, I apologize. I hope that you moved on to other Plus-sized Mom blogs full of sarcasm and love. If I haven't lost you, then I am soooo glad you're still here!

I didn't plan it, I just found that I needed time. I love this blog, I love you, dear Readers, but I needed a time away. A time to focus on myself, my family, my home businesses, my life! But the other day I thought - you know what I miss? Blogging!

Want you back, want you back, want you back for good....

It's been an interesting time for me readers - I know, I know - I've been away for quite a while - and some of you have even taken to writing messages to me reminding me to get back at it (Thanks for the push Judith!) and I have been taking some time to think.

Fresh like Spring

This may actually be a first for me. I don't think I've ever worn a fully green outfit (that wasn't a dress).

Maximum Crochet

I was so excited to pull this maxi dress out of spring/summer clothing storage.

Cropped

We're finally (FINALLY!) getting some warmer, more springtime appropriate weather!

Navy Neutral

Apparently Mother Nature did not get the notice that it is officially Spring. Because it was -3' C this morning and then it snowed all afternoon!

Texture and Print

I always love the way mixed prints look on some of my fave fashion bloggers. Specifically stripes and floral. But every time I put it on myself I think I look a little, well, silly. Perhaps I haven't found the right pieces to combine yet.

Good Taste

I am very lucky to have family members who have good taste. Almost everyone has experienced that gift that you open and say "Thanks!" when you're really thinking "Oh gracious! Please have a gift receipt!"

Pantsuit fake-out

I do love a good black suit - but I haven't actually owned a pant-suit in ages.

Old Favourites New Favourites

Do you have those few items of clothing in your wardrobe that you've had FOREVER but just can't let go of?

Back in Black (Mama Returns)

Well Hello Friends! Did you miss me? (Lol, did you even notice I was gone?)

Simply Bold

I love red. I really do.

Sweater-dress and Inspiring Bloggers Link up

I picked up this cute sweater dress (tunic maybe?) from our local consignment store last week.

Went overboard

Sometimes you think "I'll dress a little festive for church this week" and then you do.
