Plaid all the Way

I love the spin on traditional plaid the last few years.  Sure, I love my plaid button down shirt, and I don't plan on saying goodbye to it anytime soon, but I am enjoying the more professional styles that plaid is showing up in such as pixie pants, blazers and blouses.  When I saw this plaid patterned blouse, with the cute ruffle details, and the over sized sleeves, I knew I had to order it.  I was hoping not to love everything I ordered from RW & Co but that didn't work out for me.  This is the first item I want to showcase.  

I've already worn the blouse twice and both times I received complements.  Though I am featuring it here as a comfortable and loose fitted top, I did tuck it into my jeans and it looks super cute, sorry I forgot to snap a picture.  I paired it up with my once again favorite ON jeans, and booties because it's finally fall and I love me a good pair of booties.  I have to replace my black ones so if you have a comfortable go-to pair please let me know!  These gray ones are the perfect height for work, are super comfortable to walk around school all day or to run errands on the weekend.  Giving this look the final touch is my trusted H&B statement necklace, an oldie but I linked some similar and cheaper options below.  

I had the best day on Saturday with my family.  We really needed a weekend free of play dates, sleepovers and obligations.  We headed to the mall to buy a birthday present and to just shop around.  We made a rare but delicious pit stop at Wetzel Pretzel and shared some tasty treats.  We ended our day off with a movie night at home, watching a Dog's Journey.  So so so good.  If you are a dog loving family, like we are, it'll get you right in the heart.  

We are heading into Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, so Canadian friends may you have a wonderful weekend with the people you love.  Be thankful and merry.

Currently: September Edition

Currently reminiscing about our summer days and  nights.  We kicked off the month of September with one last wakeboard on the lake, fun times with friends, smores and a fantastic fireworks show put on by our lake town.  We ended the month on Monday, September30th with our first snowfall.

  

Currently reading,  Educated by Tara Westover.  Umm, so good and yet so foreign to read about an upbringing such as this, fully being aware that this is not HISTORY, this is actually pretty current.  So far I am enjoying it immensely.

Currently watching No Tomorrow on Netflix.  Light, cute, funny, and the perfect way to end of our day.  What are your go to shows?

We also saw the last episodes of Suits and it didn't disappoint.  I have been #teamharveyanddonna forever and I love the way it was wrapped up.  

Currently obsessed with these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Just for fun, I substituted the 1 1/2 C of chocolate chips with 1 C chocolate chips & 1/2 C Crasins.  

Currently loving my job as a PreK teacher.  We have adopted a local tree, Mr. Leafy, which led us to discover ladybugs.  EVERYONE loves ladybugs and the children cannot get enough of them.  Learning all about their lifecycle, their characteristics, their living conditions, you name it, they want to know about it.  

Currently family edition.  

My mom and dad were gone for most of the month back to our old country.  We missed them terribly but were aso excited that after all these years they were able to go back together to visit their tribe that was taken from them so many years ago.  While they were gone we were fortunate to spend some quality time with my uncle who resides in Toronto and show him the beautiful landscape that we call home.  

The girls started school and are both enjoying being back with their friends and their new teachers.  Here is to a new year of learning and growing.  

Baby Otto, our nephew, turned one!!!

Currently wearing.  For the month of September we had a second summer so I wore as many favorite summer outfits as I could.  Boots, scarves, headbands, etc. are now out and probably here to stay.  Bye, bye summer clothes.

What were some of your September highlights?

IG OOTD Roundup

It's Fri-day and I am pumped.  I am off to Edmonton to meet up with my sister for our first ever sister weekend!!!!!!  I can't even express how excited I am just to hang out with my sister, no kids, no husbands, no family.  NOw, don't get me wrong, I love being around our big loud family, but this is such a gift that I would be lying if I said that I wasn't giddy with anticipation.  It'll literally be like 26 hours together, which 8 will be spent sleeping, but it's better than nothing. 

For this week, I've decided to just post my selfie shots, of what I've been wearing weekly to work as we transition from cooler weather to warmer and then back again.  I feel like we can finally say that snow is probably done for the year, fingers crossed, #ihopeididn'tjinxit.  As many of you know I like to organize my life on Sunday's, including my work outfits so here are a few of my favorites from the last three weeks or so. 


Leopard Dress 2 Ways!  I wore this outfit twice in three weeks.  The blazer look is what I went with for an job interview that I had.  I choose to opt out to go with a little bit of a wild side outfit, still classy with a blazer, but stands out.  And guess what?!?  I got the job but probably not because of the outfit.

Tights & Booties.  Cooler days still require tights and booties, but I try to add a little color with a springy scarf or this colorful sweater.  I think most of our cooler days are finally behind us but you just never know. 

Sweaters and Blazers.  Since the days start out cool and then may/may not get progressively warmer, I've been layering with my favorite sweaters and blazers.  

 

 

Spring has Sprung!  Bring out the  white jeans!  

More Spring Favorites!!!!

Real Life Outfit.  Joggers and a sweatshirt. 

Family Jam.  Sometimes they want to get in on the fun too!  

Have a great weekend everyone!
