Shimmer

Do you have items in your closet that you only wear once or twice a year? I hate having stuff like that, because it feels kind of wasteful - but this skirt fits firmly in that category.

Test Shots

This is just a simple, comfy outfit for kicking around the house, running a couple of errands and working on a few Christmas gifts.

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.

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).

Tunic Time

I'll admit that there's not much I love more than a good tunic. I find they're flattering to most body types, they hide a multitude of sins and they can be seriously comfortable.

Breaking my Own Rules

I'm usually pretty strict about my "rules" when it comes to dressing myself.

Grey & Green

Usually in the winter when I dress up I tend towards skirts and tights but occasionally I go back to the same style of grey dress pants I've been wearing for years.

Went overboard

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

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.

Memory

So, this may seem like an odd thing for a personal style blog post - but my Gran passed away last Sunday and her funeral was this past Saturday. This is what I wore.

Paint Chips

I love to try new crafts on a regular basis, and I especially love them if I'm able to somewhat replicate a much more expensive option for much much cheaper. Enter the paint-chip necklace.

Party time!

So, today is my father-in-law's 60th birthday! (Happy Birthday Warren!) And on the weekend, my in-laws hosted a great party to celebrate!

What the Dickens?

I wore this outfit on St. Patrick's day - and I made sure I had some green on so I wouldn't get pinched!

Just Lucky

A little green to celebrate St. Patrick's day today!

Dressed up/Dressed down

I find that when I wear a dress my inclination is always to dress it up rather than to dress it down.

Dreaming of Spring: Wardrobe Wishlist

Oh this snow. This horrible, cold, wet, snow. Ugh.

Okay -  I know, I know - I live in Canada. It snows here. Duh. But still. It's been oh-so-cold for the past few weeks and it snows like every other day and I'm just tired of putting on 18 bajillion layers every single time I want to go out of the house, and I'm tired of days where the air is so cold it freezes your nose shut and then hurts your teeth when you breathe.

Okay - that was probably too much information - the point is - it's cold, and I'm sick of it.

To combat my Feb-blah-ary I've been doing a considerable amount of online window(s) shopping and I thought I would share my Spring Wardrobe Wishlist with you all! I'm dreaming of bright pink, coral, green and blue. Sunny yellows and bright rich reds. I'm dreaming flowers and prints and fun accessories too!

Cobalt & Stripes

I've been trying to think of things other than plain white to wear under my cobalt blazer. Sometimes you just get in a rut with certain items of clothing. I finally decided to try throwing it on over my striped tee and green pants.

Canadian Comfort Wear

While this is not the type of outfit I usually share with you on the blog I was inspired because last weekend the hubs and I went away for some great outdoor fun in beautiful Huntsville, ON. More pics from our trip in an upcoming post - but one of my favourite stores EVER is up in Muskoka and it's called Muskoka Bearwear.

Winter Uniform

Do you ever wear something so often that it starts to feel like a uniform? Well, if I had to have a uniform for winter - it would be this: jeans, tank/tee, button down, vest, moccasins/boots. Done. Voila.

Plaid Love

There's something about plaid in the winter. Even more so for me as Christmas approaches. Give me plaid anything - plaid shirts, plaid coats, plaid pajama pants, plaid blankets and scarves, plaid pillows even! I just love it. And this plaid shirt just says relaxing at Christmastime with friends. It's the red and green and white I think.
