Something Unexpected

I tend to wear a lot of outfits over and over again. Not surprisingly, I don't have a massive wardrobe - and it's all about having items that can be worn multiple times.

Garden Party

Recently I attended a "garden party" themed bridal shower for a family friend.

The decor was lovely and it was nice to see ladies in a lot of flowy, floral dresses.

Niagara on the Lake

Just recently I went to Niagara on the Lake for a girls weekend with my Mother and sisters.

Red Sweater Tee

It's been so so dry here lately - so much so that there's a total fire ban on where our cottage is because there are brush and forest fires breaking out! So I was so glad that it's been raining for the past couple of days - because we need it!

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!

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.

Pantsuit fake-out

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

Lady in Red

A while back I heard that Suzy Shier was getting a Plus-Size line - and let me tell you, I was excited. Suzy was a mecca for cheap, fun clothes when I was a teen and I had stopped shopping there a while ago because I had long since outgrown their S/M/L/XL sizing.

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?

Simply Bold

I love red. I really do.

Went overboard

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

Faintly Festive

The Advent season has begun and all our preparations for Christmas have started. This is what I wore to church for the first Sunday of Advent. I wanted to dress festive without being too Christmas-y.

Kinky!

This past weekend my sisters and I went to see Kinky Boots in Toronto. Let me just say - it was an utterly fantastic show!

Mama Chic

What is it about wearing all black?

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.

Back in the Saddle

Hello Friends,
It's been a while - I know. I said I was "back" when I posted in July for my 1 year blog-i-versary - and I really really thought I would be... but while this blog is about mom style and personal plus size style and just generally having fun with clothes - there are times when reality takes over.

Flower Power

My littlest is majorly super-hero obsessed (actually so is my biggest, but hey - they're boys) and pretty much everything these days is a "power" this or a "power" that. For example: "Mommy - these are my power shoes - they make me go super-fast!" or "Mommy - is that necklace you're wearing a power-necklace?" etc etc

Gone Dotty

Oh My Goodness. I would absolutely lose my head if it weren't attached these days!

Top Ten Remix Roundup

Well it's the last day of April and since I don't have an outfit to post today I'm going to post my Top Ten Remix round-up!

The Top Ten Remix was started by Sarah from Sarah's Real Life and the challenge was to pick 10 items from your wardrobe that really say "You" (or "Me" or... whatever - you know what I mean).

So here they are and the ways I've worn them over the past month

1. Chambray Shirt - I actually wore this several times this month - however, apparently I only took a picture once...

2. Red Flats - Yeah - these were a good choice. I wear them a LOT

  

3. Leopard Flats - Love these leopard flats. They're pretty much my go-to shoe lately. I love how leopard can actually work as a neutral, but still be a standout on their own.

4. Hearts Necklace - I adore this necklace. It goes with absolutely everything.

5. Double Stud Pearl Earrings - These are an item that kind of surprised me. I love them because they're so unique but at the same time because they're "pearl" they are also kind of classic. I even wore them to a high-tea!

6. Cobalt Blazer - I didn't get nearly as many outfits out of this blazer as I thought I would. I love it and I think it goes with a tonne of things, but I just didn't wear it as often as I thought I would.

7. Poppy Blazer - I can't believe I only wore this once! It's crazy, because I love this blazer, and I totally thought I would wear it more. I did, however, pick up a navy and a red blazer this month - and we all know how sometimes new items take the place of a well-loved not-so-new item.

8. Cropped Black Pants - Again - I'm certain I wore these more often, but only one pictured outfit!  Crazy!

9. Floral Scarf - I wore this scarf several times but not necessarily as part of a defined outfit. The first time I wore this for the top ten was for Easter Sunday - but then my laptop died and I still haven't been able to get the pictures off of it - I have just one from Easter morning with my friend Kate, I also wore the scarf with my chambray and leopard flats just a few days ago.

10. Owl Earrings - I actually wore these a lot this month... but they do NOT photograph well. They often get lost in my hair and as such I only have one picture where you can see the earrings!

So there you have it. My Top-Ten Round-up!

I'm not sure how I actually "did" per se - but it's obvious from the roundup that my whole top ten could have been shoes, lol. Well - Mama loves what Mama loves!

Red blazer and print pants

The print pants are back! Oh how I love printed pants. I have several pairs, in several different prints and I just think they're so fun.
