How2Wear: National Pride

Tomorrow is Canada Day and the 4th of July is quickly approaching. I thought I would share a few outfit ideas suitable for sharing your national pride this coming week/weekend. That way you don't end up looking like these guys...

Just kidding. I'm Canadian. I love Don Cherry and think he's hilarious.... but I don't want to dress like him.

Conversely - if you're one of my American readers, I'm assuming you don't want to share your national pride like this:

LOL - Napoleon Dynamite. Those pants though... gracious.

Date Night

As you know, Wednesday was my 9th wedding anniversary with the hubs. My mom kindly consented to watch our kiddos and we had a nice dinner out.

Cap it off

My faux leather baseball cap is back in rotation. I loved this hat last summer and I'm looking forward to getting a lot of wear out of it this year as well.

Love is Always in Style

I'm taking a break from a regularly scheduled personal style post because I want to gush and wax poetic about my hubby for a bit. So if that turns you off - feel free to stop reading now - style will be back tomorrow. ;)

Celebrating 60!

My Grandparents just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary!

Wear Plaid for Dad

Today I'm wearing Plaid for my Dad.

Fashionably Frustrated

I am in a shopping rut!

Column of Crochet

Another great example of a prime varagesale find that just needed a bit of work!

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.

Size up

One of the things I'm grateful for as a plus-sized woman is my sewing machine.

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.

Mermaid Inspired & Link up

I will fully admit that my outfit today was inspired by how my hair re-do turned out. My Mom came by and helped me re-dye the blue in my hair and I'm kind of loving how the different shades of blue and teal all mixed together. It's like mermaid hair! I kind of love it.

These are my Stripes

I've been loving the all-white trend I keep seeing these days - but let's be honest, all white with 2 kids, my nephew, a dog, a cake business... it's just not a good combo

 

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

Professional Get-up

Every now and again I actually use my University degree.
