Hey Mama! Where ya been?

Hello Lovelies!

I want to start by apologizing for being away so long. Did you miss me?

Cropped

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

Dress or Tunic

Some time ago I bought this tunic at Old Navy...

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?

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.

Who Wears White Shorts?

Okay. Honesty time: white shorts and moms generally do NOT mix.

Unintentional Hiatus and Jump(er) back in

So sorry friends! I took an unintentional hiatus there for a couple of weeks. Truth? My kids are out of school and I thought I could just go on with my life (HA! I know, right?) and honestly I spent about 95% of the last 2 weeks in either running shorts or my swimsuit since we've spent as much time as possible near the lake!

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.

Sisters Breakfast Date

Another whirlwind cake weekend down in the books - but thankfully this time the hubs took our boys up to the cottage for the weekend, so I had the kitchen (the house!) to myself without interruption.

Because, Science!

I recently had the opportunity to volunteer in my big kiddo's classroom for a "Scientist in the School" afternoon.

 

Summer dress, Winter Weather

I love being able to translate summer pieces into winter wear. It can be tough, and I have a few rules in order to make sure it works.

Print Wrap Dress

I love a good thrifting find.
And just about the only thing that makes a good thrifting find better is when someone else buys it for you!
My sister and I were at It's Worth Repeating in Courtice this past week - she was hoping to score a new winter jacket, but it was gone as soon as they opened that morning - and as we were browsing around I saw this funky wrap dress hanging in the dress section. Upon closer inspection I realized it was a Kiyonna! Sweet find!

Graphic top & skinny jeans

I haven't worn this top in ages, but I felt like wearing something funky and fun when we went to my sister & brother-in-law's house to celebrate his 30th birthday. Hanging out with my family usually means lots of laughs and eating good food, so whatever you wear needs to be super comfortable, but I still wanted to look 'dressed' rather than going over in my sweatpants.

Graphic Shift dress

Sometimes when you're thrifting something just practically jumps off the rack and says "Me! Me!" - this shift dress did just that. To be honest, on the hangar it's basically shapeless and I was sure I'd have to do some tailoring to make it decent, but once I put it on I was pleasantly surprised! It does need something to nip in the waist, but a woven belt did just the trick and a pair of leggings underneath helps both with warding off any chill in the air, as well as with keeping my legs from rubbing together, lol!
