Sale shopping is my favourite. Especially for kid clothes, because c'mon - at the rate they grow, they require almost an entirely new wardrobe every six months. These kids have no cousins, so the hand-me-downs tend to be few. That's really okay... but ch-ching!! I peruse the sales sections of the … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 17th, 2011
Okay: Jeggings. I've been resisting for reasons I can't explain. Possibly because they were everywhere all the time, at the same time as babies wearing diapers with a denim motif on their butts, and I was all, Can't jeans just be jeans anymore? Oy. Anyway, I was wrong. I love them now. I was in the … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 9th, 2011
It's downright balmy outside today, especially for November. I've decided to break out this sweater, which I don't wear very often, and is a bit of an oldie, but still a goodie. It's got a wide bat-wing sleeve, which doesn't fit well under any of my coats (are you sad for me yet?) but she is a … [Read more...]

One minute it's cold. And then it's not so much. And I'm still carving pumpkins, so I need some flexibility... This short-sleeved knitted hoodie was a gift from my mum a few years ago. I don't usually go for hoodies - they're just not my thing, generally, but I like this one. The fit is short, which … [Read more...]

Well, you are what you wear. *snickers* I picked up this t-shirt at Forever 21 the other day, and actually, I saw the back of it first... I thought if that shirt is in any way not horrible, then it's coming home with me. And then I saw the front. So, now it's mine. I'm getting ready to make pumpkin … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – October 25th, 2011
I bought this jacket from Old Navy a year ago, and it still fits this fall - yay for tiny kids who hardly grow at all! I love a hit of military whenever possible (it cuts the sweetness, like I've said before) and this one looks terrific over everything, from jeans to skirts. In my experience, Old … [Read more...]

Earlier today I was invited to a senior's residence to show the old kids how to rock Michael Jackson's face out of an orange orb. (Fun!) When meeting new people, it's always a good idea to wear something you like and feel good in, right? Well, I LOVE this little top I picked up at Forever 21 … [Read more...]
From My Closet – September 21st, 2011
It's not easy getting dressed these days... the mornings can be cool or rainy, and by afternoon, we're sweating inside our, um, sweaters. (That's ironic, no?) Fall is here, but I'm not putting my white jeans away ever because they still work while it's warm and sunny outside, and anyway, I don't … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 18th, 2012
I was asked to contribute to The Urban Closet... I'll warn you right now that there *might* be more kid stuff here, since I tend to dress them waaaaaay cuter than I dress myself. I actually snapped this pic yesterday, but since a friend of mine in New York commented that it was "another outfit I … [Read more...]

Oh my god, you guys. I forgot that I own these boots. They are, likely, 8 years old...without even a hint of exaggeration. And I have worn them once, I think. Maybe. Cardigan and camisole: J.Crew Jeans: Gap, always skinny Boots: Aldo … [Read more...]
