I am going to make a confession. After secretly passing judgement on those that admitted they watched it, I just started watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians and I am addicted. I have torn through season 1-6 and am on season 7, plus I have also watched the Kim and Kourtney spin-off’s. Cue embarrassment, should I hang my head in shame? Continue Reading →

My favourite colour is yellow. I tend to wear more black, white, and grey but every once in a while I throw some yellow in the mix. I hate the term “pop of yellow” though.

It is my favourite accent colour for a home and I tend to find myself asking, “do you have it in yellow?” when I find something that I like in a store. Actually, I don’t ask that. I usually just go look for myself because I hate asking for help from salespeople even though I worked in retail for many years.

Outfit of the Day and Value Village Haul

Outfit of the Day 6 #ootd

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 →

Late Nights, Donuts, and Outfit of the Day 5

Outfit if the day 5

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 →

Outfit of the Day 4 Casual Comfort

capsule wardrobe outfit of the day 4 #ootd

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 →
