A Good Find

I love getting new clothes as much as the next girl, but clothes are expensive. I will freely admit to "window shopping" (or windows shopping, lol) through Torrid's website or a variety of other online retailers that cater to the plus-size figure.

Summer Sunnin

I bought this "dress" probably 2 years ago from one of my fave low-cost stores here in Ontario - Giant Tiger. It said "dress" on the tag, but I have never EVER worn it without leggings underneath.

Dandy

Ok, so first things first - YES, I know our yard is covered in dandelions.

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!

Shine Bright

I've had this obnoxiously bright orange dress for a little over a year now - and every time I wear it - it quite literally brightens up my day!

Fun-runnin Fundraising

We had kind of a crazy weekend! From babysitting to play dates a yard sale and yard work and then....

Lady in Pink

I never used to wear pink. I always thought of it as a super-girly colour - and super-girly I am not. But in recent years pink has moved from that sweet, pale, baby pink to a much more saturated and energetic colour.

Who Wears White Shorts?

Okay. Honesty time: white shorts and moms generally do NOT mix.

Vacation Imagination

I had never intended to wear these shorts and this top together. I packed them to wear with separate items and then they ended up together...

Give it a little pep!

It's every girls dream to wear something comfortable that still looks put together. For me this homemade peplum top fits that bill exactly. It's comfy, it's a nice bright floral and it just plain makes me happy!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
