Camo and pink frilly skirt? Rock the casbah!! Who says Mondays have to be blah? I wanted a look that was rocker chic so I paired my camo blouse with my pink ruffled skirt. I loved adding my studded boots, aviators, and my fav black bag. Would this outfit snap you out of a boring Monday? It sure worked for me!

I’m only human, so I repeat parts of my outfit all the time! This shirt is part of a two piece set I wore last week. This time I teamed it up with white accessories, cute sunnies, a hat, and a patterned skirt. You really don’t need more clothes, you just need to style them better. It’s definitely a learning process, but like anything you can get better at it the more you try! Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

I chose this song today because I told my son today to, “Get outta my dreams. Get into my car.” so we could go to Costco and get groceries. Of course I also came back with plants - one of my toxic traits is buying lots of plants. 😫 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when in doubt throw on a matching set, so I did! I added cute sunnies, a hat, a white t, and my denim sandals, and fav summer bag. For those who have asked, Tim my hubby is doing much better these days. He still cannot put weight on his broken leg, but that should change in the next week or so. Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

The sun always shines on TV but not always when I take a photo! 😮‍💨 But here is my look for today. I wore this skirt before as a dress but now I’ve styled it with a cute hat, sunnies, chunky heart necklace knitted tank top, neutral slides, and a bright blue bag. Buying more isn’t the answer.

I’m not heading to Rio, but I can sure look like it! A big, floppy hat, dark sunnies, chunky heart necklace, black t, polka dot pants, and white bag and shoes and I’m ready for a vacay! Plus this look is super lightweight and comfy if you’re just chilling out on the deck for drinks. Here’s hoping the weather continues to get warmer!

I’m dancing with myself in this springy look! Some fun sunnies, a hat, a white t, striped pants with blue sandals to match, and a lavender bag and I’m ready for the weekend. Whether heading for groceries or a soccer game I’m ready for it! Hopefully the weather warms up soon. Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

When you wear a dress your guy will say, “She’s a beauty!” My husband doesn’t always agree with what I wear. Actually more often than not! But this outfit was a winner when I put it on to shoot. You see, my husband is my photographer so he gets to see my looks up close and personal. I had to put on a hat for this look and grab my fav pink bag. Even though I have pink shoes I decided to wear neutral sandals to give a nod to the colour of my hat. I’m ready for brunch or church or even a fancy picnic.

Don’t wait for a star to fall and miss out on these cute gingham ruffled shorts! They are a great price right now and come in many colours. So comfy and cute! For my first styling of them, I was conservative and just paired them with a white t, red cap, and neutral bag, sunnies, and sandals. I feel so ready for summer even though the last few days have been cool and windy. Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

Update: my husband got released from the hospital today! He’s home and doing well. Thanks so much for the prayers. I don’t have Bette Davis eyes, but I do feel like a silver screen star in this look! Take one large hat, and some mysterious shades and pair it with a lavender shirt, printed skirt, fab bag, and Chanel inspired flats, and you got a classy look indeed. I’d totally wear this to church or a brunch with the ladies. Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

I think I’m in trouble! Tim (my husband) gets out of the hospital tomorrow and I need to become a nurse for him because of his broken leg. In the meantime I had to bring back my leopard shirt and style it in a new way. Some spandex shorts, a graphic T, baseball cap, sunnies, a cool bag, and Addidas sneakers and I feel like I’m back in the 80’s! Such an easy look for summer when you’re not sure what to wear. I could be getting groceries or heading to the gym - but probably not! 😂 Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

I love a true blue denim look! I’ve been off for a few days because my husband fell down the stairs and broke his leg. He has had a rod and plates put in his leg but is still in the hospital. Please keep him in your prayers! 🙏🏻 I decided to keep my look simple and used my shoes and bag to pick up the green tank top. I then added a hat, some sunglasses, a denim shirt, and my barrel jeans to complete this look. I’ll be back tomorrow!

It’s easy to walk this way when a matching set is involved! The two pieces were sold separately so I could get my medium top and small bottoms. Such a bright, happy colour too! Makes me long for those hot summer days. I just kept my hat, sunglasses, sandals, and bag simple except for my colourful bag charm.

Time for some jungle love - at the very least some jungle print! I love the ease of wearing a jumpsuit. It makes it super easy to get dressed. Because of the busy pattern, I went for a solid cardigan to be tied around my shoulders and neutral shoes and a bag. It’s an older jumpsuit so I’ll try to find something similar for LTK if you’re interested in creating this look.

Situation is critical when you have nothing to wear, so why not turn to a cute set? I love this white set because even though it was meant to go together, the pieces were sold separately. Why is this so awesome you may ask? Well it’s awesome for me because I am a small in bottoms and a medium on top. If I bought a set big enough for my top, the bottom would likely be too large for me and vice versa. So Monday’s don’t have to be boring - just throw on a set! I made it totally monochromatic by not worrying about coloured accessories and just chose white. Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

Animal prints are where it’s at for me. It’s been a hot minute since I styled this leopard print skirt so here it is with my fav sweatshirt from @roots Because of the print I decided to keep my shoes and bag in the same brown colour way. Unfortunately I cannot find a dupe for my hat so you can grab one. Don’t worry my hat is a dupe because the real Celine one is outta my price range. Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Wouldn’t it be good to walk into the weekend wearing ALL the prints? Yes. Yes it is. I think it takes a certain kind of person to wear all the prints at once. I guess I’m that certain kind of person. I actually do have a scheme to this look though. Black is the common colour throughout from the stripes, to the floral jacket, to the spots in my shoes, my bag, and my sunglasses. The only item with no black is my camo pants but they are a dark enough colour to fit in. Over all, I’m quite happy with the way this look turned out. Are you brave enough to wear all the prints?

Don’t dream it’s over, dream about a Thursday print mix! To set up this outfit, I chose a striped top with the same color strip as my skirt and sneakers with the same coloured striped as well this makes the look more cohesive. For fun I added a nice pink purse in the shade of the skirt for a pop of colour. Would you try print mixing?

You won’t forget me when I’m gone in this bright outfit! I love bright colours together so I grabbed my yellow boho blouse and added my bright blue wide leg pants. For such a bold look I wanted to keep my shoes, belt, and bag neutral except for my super colourful keychain charm. Looking so forward to the warmer days and greener grass!

Ain’t nothing gonna break my stride including snow! It snowed for a few days but melted just as quickly and now it’s gorgeous out! So no more snow photos hopefully until December. Yay!! 🎉 When you don’t know what to wear, throw on a comfy dress and a hat. For fun I added some leopard flats and a tan bag as a nod to my hat. Now I need to get out for a walk and enjoy this long awaited for weather. Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

It’s not tainted love, it’s actual love I have for this athletic dress! So comfy and easy to style this will be a summer favourite! I just chose a denim shirt, some fav necklaces, a white cap to match my sneakers, and a black bag to match my dress. The dress has shirts underneath that have pockets! Yay!

Take me home tonight so you can watch me clean my house! Seriously I need to clean my house. But instead I’m on here posting an outfit. Found a patterned shirt, then added my crinkled cropped wide leg pants and then added my red shoes and bag. People think I’m being patriotic when I post a red, white, and blue look but actually I live in Canada where it’s still blizzarding. Why. Can’t. It. Be. Spring. Here???? Arrrrgh. 😫 I’m realizing I use this emoji every time I post. Super frustrated. Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

I straight up love rompers. Want an easy look? Got no time? Want to look put together? Choose a romper! I decided to throw in a bright cardigan and tan hat but kept the rest of the look monochromatic with moss green shoes and bag. It is still blizzarding today and very windy.

I cherish this outfit because once again I find myself in yellow! But instead of pairing it with my olive joggers, I decided to go for pink pants to pick up the colour of the flowers in the top instead. To keep the look springy, I added a white bag and shoes. As I type this it is windy and snowing here and I hope it does not stay! 😫 Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

Snow - don’t stop me now because I’m having a good time showing some leg! I forgot I had this cute athletic skort but as soon as I found it, I knew I needed to style it. So I grabbed my vintage Roots sweatshirt, a cap, some aviator sunnies, bum bag, argyle socks, and fav sneakers to complete the look. Yes there is supposed to be snow later this week but I’m pretending there is not going to be any. Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

It would be a mistake not to style my embroidered jeans again! So I did. A nice yellow men’s button down, white t and bag, and my fav sneakers for the win! The weather is finally warming up here so be prepared for me to show some leg this week. Just wanted to warn you. And of course more 80’s tunes because that’s how I roll.

When Smokey sings, I think of weekend things! And this look is the perfect Mom uniform. It’s comfy, I’m supporting my fav baseball team (Go Jays!), and did I mention it’s so comfy! It’s an easy outfit formula to follow. Get your fav sweatshirt, pair it with some olive joggers, grab your fav team’s cap, and big bag to hold all your stuff, and comfy clogs.

I added the song “King of Wishful Thinking” to this post because it’s from Pretty Woman. And this dress reminds me a bit of the one Julia Robert’s wore in the movie. This look is one that can be worn to church, a wedding, a baby shower, lunch with girlfriends, or a date. I kept it simple with a white belt and pumps. For a pop of color I removed the strap off my red bag and am using it as a clutch. Now that I’m looking at these photos, I definitely could have put on a hat!

This look reminds me of sailing away! Can you wear horizontal stripes when you’re curvy? Heck yes! I chose to break up the stripes a bit by wearing a navy blazer and brown straw belt. I also didn’t want to go too matchy matchy so I added a pair of neutral shoes. But to tie the look together I chose my white bag. As far as the weather update, it snowed! 😫 And the roads are icy too.

Should I wear this or should I not? Couldn’t wait to bust out my lightweight camo joggers. I got tired of the usual poses when I wear an outfit so I’m waving at you! 👋 Hope you’re waving back!

How will I know if this outfit is good? I will know because I’m wearing some leopard print. If you’ve been my friend for a while, you’ll know I love leopard print and try to sneak it in when I can. Today it’s my shoes. I thought they played well with the yellow sweater and white jeans and a tan bag. We ended up not getting more snow today!! Yaaaaass!! 🙌🙌🙌 So I’m in a pretty happy mood!

Maybe I do make my blue jeans talk! If they talked I’d bet they’d say, “Hey I’m so in style but husbands may not like me but that’s okay!” Loving the open knit trend so I was happy when I moved some sweaters around in my closet I found this sweater. I decided to pair it with matching shoes and added a nice pop of lavender with my bag.

I’m caught up in this look! I can wear it to church tomorrow if I want to. I took one of my favourite skirts and pulled it up to wear as strapless dress. Then I threw on my beige cardigan, blue purse, and capped toe heels. I am doing my best to welcome spring in the hopes it actually stays this time even though there is snow forecasted for this coming week. 😫 In the meantime you can catch me living in denial.

I’m no longer holding out for a hero - I married mine! ❤️ I love that this spring basically any type of jeans are cool. I could be wrong but I have been seeing every style of jeans on Instagram these days. A floral shirt, white blazer and sneakers, and a shiny silver bag and I’m ready to do whatever I need to do - which is mostly homeschooling these days so off goes the blazer at home. Hopefully the weather will keep cooperating but I hear that we might get snow again next week. 😫 Canadians click on the first links to shop, and Americans click on the second links to shop.

I am heart and soul AND hot and cold - ahhh the change of life. #ifykyk 😂 So the weather will not make up its mind so I put on my trust black sweater, a scarf, my barrel sweats, sneakers, army coat, and grabbed my favourite chocolate brown bag. I like layering a lot for visual interest but for also adapting to how warm or cold the day is. I’m into chocolate brown with black. Is it a combo you’d wear?

I feel like an uptown girl in this simple but chic look. I took a basic black dress and added some pizazz by tying my leopard scarf around the waist. Then I added cool sunnies, a hat, a black bag, and cute capped toe shoes. I think the tan in the shoes plays nicely with the tan straw hat. I’m looking springy despite the snow!
