Yeah, so... stretchy teal cords. I've mentioned before about having trouble with colour sometimes, but this isn't like whackadoodle blue or anything... this tone is easy to wear - and it plays well with other blues, browns, and greys. (Tip: Coloured jeans or cords are a fun way to modern-up your … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 18th, 2012
I bought this longish plain white sleeveless shirt from Forever 21 about a year ago. I had ideas of throwing it on over a tank top, or knotting it at the waist, or belting it... it didn't cost very much, so I just threw it over my arm with the other stuff I chose that day. White shirts of this kind … [Read more...]

The mornings have been chilly this week, but once the sun comes out full-force, the temps are in the mid-twenties... this wool jacket keeps the wind off me as I whoosh and wind over the shady sidewalks, getting my kid to school. Almost everything I have on is ancient, but the pants are new-ish. I … [Read more...]

It's sunny and gorgeous outside, with a reprieve from the hella hotness as of late, so some long sleeves of the sheer variety work rather well. Especially on short-shorts. It's still summer, after all. And this outfit is totally scooter-worthy, with a change footwear... (flip-flops are a total … [Read more...]

Last night I made a date with one of my foxes to share some wine and chitty-chat at one of our favourite watering holes. As we had a wee break in the crazy-heat wave, I opted to wear this maxi-skirt - a recent score from that quick-and-dirty spree at Costa Blanca. I'm seriously in love with … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago, while running some super-quick errands downtown with the girl-child in tow, high-footing it back to the Metro at 5:40 PM on a Saturday, I passed by one of those mall stores I'd forgotten I liked. There were sales signs in the windows. Of course, the shop would close in 20 minutes, … [Read more...]

Okay: shorts. I mean the short kind. I've been thinking about them ever since the weather started warming up, and I was pulling out shorts of yore, and buying new ones. Exactly how short can a lady my age go, I wondered... and what I've decided is this: Nobody's perfect. No body is, either... … [Read more...]

I got three compliments on this sweater today while I ran out for forty-five minutes... it's got a gold thread running through it, and it's very light-weight. Jaunty, she is. Lovely over these white jeans... I reckon she'll be gorgeous over small white shorts, too. Who knew a gold sweater would … [Read more...]

I wore this around town yesterday - the sweater is a really light weight knit in a gold thread, and I love the simple neckline. Good with the simple gold flip-flop and dark jeans. Simple is good. And when later I suddenly looked up and it was nearly 8 PM, and I had a drinks date in fifteen minutes? … [Read more...]
