Prep

I have to admit - even though this outfit sort of screams "Prep School" I still love it.

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.

Who wears Plaid Pants?!

I had an almost unnecessary amount of excitement when I found these plaid pixie pants at Old Navy this fall.

Pep & Velvet

I love it each season changeover when I get to unpack the clothes I've stored away. I think I say this every time that it's like going shopping in my own storage.

Little Miss Flower Pants

I'm glad I got a chance to wear these pants one more time this summer before the fall weather really kicks in.

Flight of Fancy

Friday night I had the rare opportunity to go out for dinner without our kids! We went out to a local restaurant that's super popular (and so yummy) with my parents and Grandparents. It was nice to sit and enjoy a meal without having to tell someone not to... well.. whatever!

Just Lucky

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

Shorty?

I actually laughed out loud when I looked at these pictures. I can hardly believe it, but I kind of look... well... short!

Ladies' Night

One of the ladies from my church hosted a wonderful dinner for a few of us. She's an amazing cook and we had a great night of delicious food, great wine and fantastic company! (Thanks Michelle!)

Cardi and Scarf

Get a bunch of Moms and Mom-types together and you'll see an abundance of these two things: cardigans and scarves.

Black & Burgundy

Every single time I wear these pants I love them more. They are just so comfortable!

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.

Navy and Wine

I love when I say the name of these two colours that they immediately make me think of drinking wine on a boat. Of course, I did neither of those things while wearing this outfit, but I still love those colours.

Cables and Velvet

I love lush, rich, wintery fabrics like velvet.

Family Gathering Chic

Tis the season for family gatherings. Which usually involve a lot of eating and laughing. Evenings like this require a definite standard of comfort in an outfit and this red sweater is one of the best pieces I've ever owned for a family get-together.

Gone Dotty

 

 Have to admit - when I first pulled this blouse out of the hand-me-downs from my dear friend Heather I was thinking it was a little, well... dotty for me. I love polka dots, but it was too stripey, too dotty, too blousey.... then I actually put it on - and well - I've gone dotty!

Holiday Outfit Planning

I don't know if you're anything like me, but I compulsively list and plan, well.... everything. I'm a lister - I admit it. As soon as I wake up in the morning until the time I'm going to sleep, somewhere in my mind there's always a running list of what I want/need/must do next and then and then and then.... and now that Remembrance Day has passed, it seems like my calendar has just exploded in the last 24 hours - so, naturally, I'm planning holiday party outfits. As y'do....

Black/Blue/Grey

 I have finally given in and made the full switch from my summer wardrobe to my winter wardrobe. All my lovely summer clothes have gone into the storage box - and my fall and winter clothes have come out to play! One of the items in the winter box were these dark grey slacks that I received as a gift last year. Grey seems to be a pretty popular colour come autumn each year, but I love that these are such a dark grey that they're *almost* black... but not quite.
