This week is nuts. Like ham sandwich on pumpernickle and rye, balls to the wall insanity. Between trying to find a new sitter, get work done before Mom 2.0 next week and regular old life and good ol' Aunt Flo messing with my mood I am all over the place. I swear I almost stroked out the other day while trying to cook dinner, sign the kids up for camp and potty train The Fifth Element. So let's just call this the 'my crotch feels like it is falling out and if I have to wear yoga pants I will bash someone's face in' outfit, shall we? I told you I'm feeling jolly. … [Read more...]

What I Wore Wednesday
It was a busy week and I was feeling a bit more like dressing up due to the warm weather. Whether I was going to Open House at preschool, going to numerous doctor appointments or just working from home I wanted to put in a bit of effort. I also included the sweet bracelet I won from Style Elixir by KnottyGal. Come see! … [Read more...]
What I Wore Wednesday- The London Times Edition
I am all about simplicity. When I dress it is sometimes hard for me to go beyond my comfort zone of solid colors and certain silouettes. Accessories are a whole other story. London Times Fashion asked me to check out their gorgeously well-made and affordable dresses (think weddings to daywear to nights out) and I decided this was my time to break free from the norm. … [Read more...]
What I Wore Wednesday!
Let's call this edition 'Museum Day' wiww. I was running around town doing the necessary errands, lunching alone and then finding some quiet time to hit up an exhibit on domestic life in the Gilded Age. I wanted comfort with a bit of style because it was cold, there was a lot of walking and yet, I had no kids with me. … [Read more...]
What I Wore Wednesday
This edition should be titled, "The Meeting that Never Was". Or I just couldn't find a spot. I had a meeting in the city. A lunch/speaker thing to go to and leaving myself about 20 minutes for parking was clearly not enough. I drove and circled and circled and drove and guess what? No parking. Then I got stuck behind a delivery truck who was having similar issues. Forty minutes later I gave it up and decided to move on, get lunch and get some work done. At least I got to rock some cigarette pants though. Take a look! … [Read more...]
Getting Bold for Spring
Yesterday, was one of those days that just called for a happy dance. Things were lining up and despite some small setbacks I didn't get flustered or spun up. Maybe that gratitude journal is working, right Janine? How do I celebrate a series of good events, small victories and overall happiness? Ok, this time it was not with absinthe or champagne or erm, both. … [Read more...]
What I Wore Wednesday
I felt inspired by a few posts from other wiww participants a few weeks back (So wish I could remember the ladies and credit them! Sorry!) and decided to break out a sweater I never wear. Long story short, red is one of my favorite colors. I used to wear it all the time. Now, I never do. This time I broke out the red sweater from long ago, threw on a red-striped shirt and added some old school pearls. … [Read more...]

What I Wore Wednesday
To quote Macklemore's 'Thrift Shop', "let's do some simple addition" that it doesn't take a genius to figure out this edition of what I wore Wednesday is all about simplifying. It was pouring out. It's March. Every March I suddenly just get so sick of EVERYTHING that is in my closet. My clothes feel itchy on me. They are too hot, not warm enough, just plain boring and awful and I end up wearing something like this- … [Read more...]
