It actually feels good to be blogging right now. Normal. Something I used to do before COVID-19. Taking pictures is of course a little interesting these days as we don't want to be going too far from home and certainly we want to avoid crowds. We were able to get a few outfits shot last weekend before, are you ready for this.....WINTER came back. Yep, April 1st, we got a dump of snow, along with cold temperatures. I guess mother nature also continues to be unexpected which is "normal" for us here in Saskatchewan.
I love this outfit and basically it's become my uniform. Jeans, tee + cardigan. I am still putting on some make-up and jewelry to feel human. After a few full P.J. days I knew I needed to start getting dressed and getting stuff done. Anyone else feel sluggish all day long if they don't get dressed?
These jeans were a steal of a deal you guys. Get this?!? $4.97!!!!! You read that right. I was at ON because the only two pairs of jeans I own both busted in a week span, one the zipper went on and the other ones suddenly got a whole in the butt. I was desperate for a pair and generally I always find something at ON. I headed there, before all the stores closed, and found these. I have been wanting a pair of high-waisted, button fly jeans forever. I saw my blogger friend Jill of Doused in Pink wearing them months ago and I loved them on her. She has great casual style so make sure to check her out. And there they were! Anyway, I love the fit, feel, the high -waist, and the cute raw hem detail, which is perfect for spring. I also love that I can wear them to work eventually on casual Fridays, there are no holes or any major distress on them. Win! I also decided to take this basic tee, which is long and loose, and tie it at the front. I love how the look came together!
Another steal of a deal was this cute little Pixie Mood backpack. I needed a new one but wasn't interested in dropping a bunch of money. I went on a local buy and sell and found it for half-price brand new! Do you buy things on buy & sells?
Happy weekend everyone!
We got some snow last week but it melted by the end of the day. Those jeans are so cute on you and I love your pretty cardigan! Thank you for the shout out! Stay healthy and safe!

Oh snow. Its time to say goodbye. Hahaha. Thanks for stoping by.
DeleteThose were some great finds! I can't believe you got some fresh snow. It did cool off a little this week but that just means it is pleasant outside instead of being already 85.

That sounds lovely. Want to trade places for a but 😆? JK. Hopefully this is the last snowfall, temperature drop. Its looking better as the week goes on so 🤞. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSuch a steal on those jeans! Like seriously a treasure. It also looks great on you and I just love the button fly detail. I am all about zippers but when the button fly jeans started coming out, I fell hard. I am still on the lookout for a pair that will work for me and I need to check out ON to see if these are still available. The weather is on and off here too in CA. While our seasons are mild, it just feels like lately it's been alternating from sunshine to raining. In a way, I don't mind the rain. Since we are stuck indoors, I like the coziness it brings. Plus, I like listening to the rain, it's very soothing.

Oh man, are you staying safe and healthy. I sure hope so. I am not a huge fan of rain but it can feel refreshing and when I am indoors, I do also find it calming. The one good thing is we get lots of sunshine even when its cold. That makes a huge difference for me and my mood.
DeleteFirst of all, I cannot believe you have snow!! Good grief. We have had highs in the 80s. Thankfully. Hope you soon have spring weather.
ReplyDeleteGreat find on those jeans. I think I have the same pair but sure didn't get them for less than $5.00!! They fit you like a glove, girl! Adorable.
I know, right?!? Its time for spring to arrive and stay.
DeleteThe jeans were such a crazy surprise but u love the fit so much I would have paid full price. If you wear them and post on IG, tag me so I can see how you style them lady. Keep healthy.
I feel like now really is the time for us to treat ourselves to some gorgeous clothes to lounge around in - and this post really encapsulates the self-isolation-yet-still-chic vibe I'm really going for!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're staying safe during this quarantine!

Exactly. I haven't purchased any clothing since we weren't into self isolation/distancing but have spent a lot of $$$ buying things to renovate our early 80s basement 😆
DeleteI think I have that pair in a lighter wash and LOVE them! They don't stretch out. I paid more than $5 though! What a fantastic deal. They were clearly made for you!
ReplyDeleteThey don't stretch out, which is awesome!!! I hate when you buy a pair of pants only to have them not fit properly after a few wears.
DeleteWhat cute jeans! They were a great find and a bargain price! A good investment for life now I think, while it's not been cold enough for jeans yet this autumn I have been wearing a lot of denim with my denim shorts when I want to get out of pyjamas and loungewear, haha!
ReplyDeleteHope that you had a lovely Easter :) Thanks so much for joining the #WeekdayWearLinkup! A new link up is live on my blog now, I'd love you to join again.
Away From Blue
I hope you had a wonderful Easter too! I can't wait to pull on a pair of jean shorts like the ones you are featuring today on the blog. I pulled out my spring bucket but it's still chilly, chilly here. I am hoping by the end of the week to see some above 0 temps and start switching over to my spring wardrobe. Thanks for always hosting.
