L and I had a mid-week event to go to on Tuesday night - a concert at the Royal Theatre, how posh! - and got home really late, so as warned, this post has multiple outfits. It's a Two-Fer Tuesday, AND Wednesday's work outfit. This is what I wore to work, planned around this newly-thrifted sparkly blue top.Embroidered denim jacket - Paparazzi, thrifted, Vancouver; last seen here in

I enjoyed the weird colour combination in today's outfit. I don't think I would do orange and mustard together if it weren't for this skirt. Silk blazer - Alfred Sung, vintage 80s, thrifted; last worn here on Christmas Day December 2025 with black velvet and copperSparkly sweater - Dusia Knits for Gibson's, vintage 70s, thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit) in

So good to see you, my friends! It was a lovely, relaxing weekend and I'm eager to get back to doing nothing - I sorely need it. It wasn't much of a Bigass Weekend, but that was totally fine with me. Here's Friday's funky look, based on wanting to wear my new-to-me leather jacket. You know I couldn't throw it on over just anything. You have to plan for bold coats! Cotton sweater -

Welcome back to Mom-Day, my friends! We last enjoyed a day together here, last week. We did some Mom-business, then had a leisurely lunch and chatted and caught up. The weather report was doom and gloom with loads of rain in the forecast, so I dressed appropriately. I had this outfit waiting in the wings for a funky Friday, but realized that my waterproof boots would work well with

Another jacket and a different outcome!

Another week, and I'm eyeing all those backwards hangers - not a ton of them, but still a few. I built this outfit around this suede jacket, which has been languishing in the closet.As you probably guessed from the post title, I'm letting go of it. I have lots of good memories, but it doesn't ring my bell anymore. Suede jacket - Danier Leather, vintage 80s, consignment; last worn way back&

Hello, my friends, welcome back - did you have a good weekend? I'm sorry for not responding to comments - I'm just feeling a bit maxxed out, so please forgive me.My weekend started with a Friday off! The office was undergoing an upgrade and I don't work from home, so I took a vacation day - and so did L, so we had lunch together.It was cold and cloudy, so I layered up and wore some of my

Welcome back to Mom-Day, my friends! Mom is doing amazing, thank you all for your comments and well-wishes! Sunshine outside, sunshine in our hearts! I love you, Mom! I dressed for the weather, as it was VERY cold (for us!) at -1 to 3 degrees all day.I built the outfit around this orange Muppet of a sweater - it's one of the ones I save for the REALLY cold days. Sparkly turtleneck

Welcome back, dear friends! What an amazing weekend that was! We have lots to cover, so settle in and grab a drink and a snack. Friday was my boss' last day of work, retiring before me, how dare he? Tony's been my boss for 15 years, and I'm really going to miss him.He told me to leave the office early and come down to the local restaurant where he and few VPs were sharing some wine. What a

Hello, Gentle Readers, welcome back to Mom-Day! What a difference a week makes. Mom found this silk floral scarf from her trip to China years and years ago (she walked and DANCED on the Great Wall!) and dressed up for me. AW!! I love you, Mom! I dressed for the weather (dry and high single digit temps) and for walking. I headed for town, hopped a bus and walked to Mom's place. I bought

Hello, and welcome back, my friends!Mom-Update: Mom is doing great! She's been getting frequent visits, which we'll be dropping down to a few hours a day now that she's feeling more comfortable with her "new normal." I'm talking to her daily and she's set up with a tablet so she can follow my outfits from the comfort of her bed - hi, Mom! This is going to be a theme week: Sweethearts Week! L

Hello, my friends, and welcome back! Mom Update: We got her sorted out for overnight care and early morning care for the immediate future, and will adjust that as Mom gets confident in using the wheelchair and the other equipment. She's great at adapting and I've been in regular touch by phone. I'm so appreciative to our family (L, my niece Hannah, and especially sister-in-law Cynthia) for

My friends, it's been a crazy couple of days, so please forgive me for my absence! Mom had a fall on Tuesday and dislocated her elbow (she has a wee fracture, so her left arm is in a cast). I got the call just as I posted Tuesday's outfit, and right before Book Club - my lovelies arrived 15 minutes later, and my darling, wonderful L drove out and sat with Mom in Emergency for 4+ hours. The

I have a very busy week ahead, but I'm trying to just focus on one thing at a time, like getting dressed.We had a big meeting today (that I was part of) so I thought I'd attempt to look somewhat professional for the new people. I also wanted to wear this jacket again, plus the new pailletted tank. And the black skirt had a backwards hanger! Win! Jacket - FDJ; first seen here

Hello, my friends and welcome back! I hope you had a stellar weekend, full of good times with your favourite people (furry friends included). I know I did. Let's get to it, shall we? We have Friday's work outfit, my brunch ensemble, and then we had Winesday in there too. And the kittens have been up to many shenanigans, can't wait to show you! Kicking it off is Friday's look, assembled

Hello, my friends, and welcome to Mom-Day, in which Mom and I hang out, often visiting local parks for a walk, but sometimes I go to her house, and once in a while she comes over to visit me. I had to be at home for whenever the plumber would show up to fix our broken toilet handle (arg), so I twisted Mom's rubber arm to come over and play with the kittens. Folks, you asked for action shots,
