Outfit of the Day and Value Village Haul

June 15, 2015Sara Leave a Comment

Holy shit I look really short in this picture. I guess that is inescapable since I am actually not super tall but not as short as this makes me look.

I fall at 5’3″ just under the average 5’4″ – 5’7″ range.. It’s probably the boots that add to the shortness since they hit my knee but that is okay, I still love them.

So this is my outfit of the day. Before you go, “that’s not your outfit of the day! There is no way you were wearing that many layers today because it was really hot and humid.” I confess that this was yesterday’s (Sunday) outfit when it was rainy and a hell of a lot cooler out.

It was perfect weather. Continue Reading →

Links and Things

June 13, 2015Sara Leave a Comment

Every once in a while you come across something interesting/awesome/delicious/funny/smart online that you feel the need to share online (like women scientists taking to Twitter to post “sexy” pictures of themselves at work to fight sexism with the hashtag #DistractinglySexy). In most cases I either pin it to Pinterest or share it via a public Facebook post. Those things get lost on pages after time so I thought I would post some things here that caught my attention so I can keep track of it. Kind of like an online bookmark. Here is a list of links and things that I came across this week. Continue Reading →

Late Nights, Donuts, and Outfit of the Day 5

June 11, 2015Sara Leave a Comment

Today’s outfit of the day was a dress. Just a casual style with sandals, a hat, and a tucked braid. I am only 5’3″ and this dress falls to a weird spot on me making me look shorter than I am (which I obviously don’t need). I am thinking of bringing it to get altered to hit right at or right below the knee taking 2-3 inches off. I also need to invest in a pair of Spanx because this style isn’t very forgiving and accentuates every bump good and bad. Continue Reading →

What to Pack for 10 Days

Do you need help deciding what to Pack for spring while still keeping it light? Head over to this post to see a packing list with outfit ideas that go from day to night looks. | packing light | travel wardrobe | capsule | capsule wardrobe | Travel light | spring travel

For this 10 day packing list you will also need at least 2 sets of pyjamas, and underwear, bras, socks, and whatever other underthings you need to have with you.

I don’t usually include those pieces unless it is a smaller weekend packing list because it makes the packing list look cluttered on these visual guides.

Outfit of the Day 4 Casual Comfort

June 7, 2015Sara Leave a Comment

Casual grocery shopping wear is my outfit of the day. It is one of my go-to looks, simple layers, my favourite black boots, coral lips, and a side braid half-tucked under a straw fedora.

One of my favourite things is when you spend time to meal plan for the week, you write out a list of everything you need, then go through the flyers and see where the best place to shop based on your list/plan is only to have the plan fall apart on you. It’s a lot of work try to meal plan, keeping within a strict budget and still providing your family with some semblance of variety. Continue Reading →

Forgetfulness and Outfit of the Day 3

Grey Tank Top | Kimono Top (similar) | Jeans | Sandals (similar) | Watch

This is outfit of the day 3. I describe this outfit as my “hurry and run to the store before I get pissed on by rain” outfit. My hair is in my go-to braid and I am wearing sandals when in fact I should once again be wearing my rain boots. An emergency hair elastic on my wrist and a watch complete the outfit 😉 My kimono top is black instead of white because it is from several years ago so a similar one is linked below.
