Nothing beats stripes in the summertime - especially in this mix of pinks, orange, yellow, and hits of purple and blue. Throw a cardigan on top on cooler days *ahem, June!* and pair with sandals, sneakers, or flip-flops, but even bare feet will do. It's easy machine-wash cotton, which wears well … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 29th, 2013
Oh, these rainy days... I don't love them much at all, but I'm so very glad it isn't snow. (What a thing to say in May. Oy.) I recently picked up a stretchy pair of dark wash jeggings (I hate that term) and though the sewn-closed front pockets drive me bananas, I like the fit and the feel. … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 23rd, 2013
As the winter was ending, a neighbour-lady of mine gave me a bag with a few things for Madame, as her own daughter had outgrown the stuff. She often saves me some excellent duds, like these pants. LOVE, I tell you. So when I opened the bag, I confess, at first I thought this lined raincoat was a … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – May 18th, 2013
I'm a bit sad about these cool kicks, but they were looking decidedly worse for wear when had to put them away last fall. Their soles were wearing thin due to the fact that I used them as brakes while riding Oliver's scooter for the last few years, and the sequins have been dropping off all over the … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 17th, 2013
I've been rearranging the closet items, busting out the good weather stuff, and packing away my big stupid brown parka and whatnot. It feels good to wear shoes without socks again, even if there's a slight chill in the air some days. I had to run a few errands not far from home, so I slipped on … [Read more...]
The Closet Shrink: Spring Fling(ing)
I've been sorting and purging and re-storing our things over the last few weeks, but I really like this process. It lends opportunity to taking a close look at your things for the coming season or two - it's more obvious for children, who outgrow things like jackets, pants, and shoes, but my own … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 10th, 2013
I finally flipped my closets over from cold-weather wear to HOT last weekend, since it suddenly got entirely too warm to wear anything other than shorts and flip flops. The two weeks of spring is often like that, I find. And I've mostly been shopping for the children, since their growing needs are … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 8th, 2013
I find Old Navy to be rather hit-or-miss from season to season... I haven't bought much for my son from there in a few years, but it's been my huckleberry for this girl so far. And thanks to all those terrific online-shopping rebates and such, I've been able to pick up a clutch of sundresses for … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 3rd, 2013
Let's go, SPRING!! I did some online shopping last month, in anticipation of the warmer weather, and finally being able to put away all the wintry wollens and such... and as of last weekend, we're all exercising our right to bare arms. Witness: the sleeveless shirtdress. When I open the shipment, … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 25th, 2013
What is this weather doing, April? I honestly don't know, with these super-chilly mornings, and windy afternoons... it's hard to know how to dress. As I say the word dress, this child's ears prick up, and she is DESPERATE to wear some of the more summery items I bought a few weeks ago (I really … [Read more...]
