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.

Winter Prints & Floral

When it's -20'C outside and I have to keep putting on my down coat and giant winter boots I start to get a little clothes-antsy.

Fringe-tastic

Fringe, fringe, fringe!

Leggings for Days

If I have a fall Mom-iform (that's mom uniform for the uninitiated) it's leggings and a tunic. Seriously - it doesn't get much easier than pulling on some good leggings and a nice tunic and just taking the day head on.

A little mix

I love prints. I love this blanket scarf that my sister gave me for my birthday this year. I love my denim jacket, and I love a good tunic with leggings. Could I get all of these things in one outfit? You know it!

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.

Jump in

I love this jumpsuit (romper, onesie, whatever you want to call it) and am so glad that print jumpsuits are still in style this year.

Springtime Day Dress

I posted a quick selfie while wearing this dress yesterday and captioned it mentioning something about how I found this vintage day-dress while shopping!

Tea Time

Can we pretend for a second that I have the kind of lifestyle where I dress up real fancy and go and have high tea somewhere? Oh wait - I do. Well, sort of.

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.

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!

Shorty?

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

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.

I Like this Recipe

I've said this before - when something works for you, it just works for you. Lately the leggings, long sweater, boots recipe has been really working for me. I mean that in the way that it's functional, comfortable, and easy to wear. I have a varied amount of leggings/jeggings/skinny pants and a varied amount of sweaters, tunics, sweater dresses, and a varied amount of boots. Mix, match, repeat.

Layered

While layers are a definite necessity for warmth this time of year - especially when we've had gusting winds of up to 90km an hour - I often find that I look more like the Stay-puft marshmallow man than a woman with a figure when I layer up. I think the trick for this is to pick layers that are thin but warm.

Out of Necessity

Sometimes truly great things come out of necessity - okay, this isn't exactly one of those instances.... however, we went out to my husband's family's place over the weekend to celebrate his Aunt's 60th birthday and when we arrived we realized that our dress clothes were still hanging in our front hall. After a rather frantic shopping trip with my sister in law I managed to pick up a few things to wear to the party, one of which being this blouse - which I am totally and completely in love with. It's got a great bird print, an interesting collar and pleat and a nice soft, draped shape.

Dance, Mama, Dance

You've probably seen me mention before that I dance with the liturgical dance group at my church. We practice and fellowship together once a week and I really look forward to our practices, both for the exercise and for the group dynamic. It's a really fun and wonderful way to worship. But, of course, it begs the question - what does Mama wear for dance practice?
