Free People Le Femme Tee

AGOLDE Parker Vintage Loose Fit Cutoff Shorts

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

Free People Zoe Angular Sunglasses

As a stay-at-home mom, I'm always on the hunt for comfortable but cute clothes.  I've been eyeing this Free People Le Femme Tee for awhile and had I known how comfortable it is, I would've purchased it much sooner!  It's SO soft and feels as comfy as any tee I have.  But it has ruffles!  I also love the pretty pleating and lace details.  I paired it with my favourite, as-comfortable-as-denim-can-get, AGOLDE loose fit cutoff shorts.  This Victorian-inspired tee also comes in two other colours (linked above).  It also comes in ivory here, which is also super pretty and would obviously pair with anything and everything.  A comfy tee that's this pretty, it's hard to choose just one!

Happy shopping!

I was not expecting much from this Free People top, but because it was on sale at ASOS, I purchased it in red (above) and green (out of stock, found it here).  This tee definitely exceeded my expectations!  It's very comfy to wear and I love that you can wear it with the zipper down or up (I prefer down because I love anything off-the-shoulder).  This is a must-have tee.  It comes in 9 colours on the Free People site (I might even pick myself up another colour - or two!).  It's the perfect tee for layering now (i.e., with a cardigan) and for transitioning into spring with (it's not too heavy and not too thin).

Happy shopping!

A rainy day outfit.  I bought this One Teaspoon Junkyard Skirt early last week and have already worn it twice.  (It's already almost sold out at Revolve, but Nasty Gal has every size in stock!)  It's perfect for someone petite like me.  And I love it for the same reason I love my One Teaspoon Bandits - your booty is covered!

(Tip: size up!)

I've been wearing tank tops and rompers all summer because it's been deathly hot since we moved here in June and now that it's starting to cool down a little (and I mean a little - I put these jeans on because it had cooled down and I was hot after 5 minutes), and I'm a new stay-at-home mom, I realize I don't own that many t-shirts.  I have always focused on work clothes and, well, I don't work out.  It's great to shop for tees now since fall stuff is moving in and the summer stuff is going on sale.  I've been looking for basic-but-not-too-basic tees and I thought this Rag & Bone one was pretty.  I can't justify spending too much on a white or black tee, but I discovered Everlane through another blogger and they have the basics I've been looking for, for a reasonable price.

I love hip hop music.  Always have.  When I was around 13, I was obsessed with FU-Schnickens and tried getting every lyric down to "La Schmoove".  I'm pretty sure I thought I would be the first Eminem (you know, before Eminem came out) except I can't actually write rap lyrics, or actually rap.  (And then Eminem came out and I'm pretty sure he's my soul mate.)  At first I was skeptical of Iggy, but her 'Fancy' song got stuck in my head so I checked her out and listened to her song with T.I. and gave her a chance.  I downloaded her album and became obsessed.  So of course I ordered this tee when I saw her feature on revolveclothing.com.  The girl is living my dream.  But if she starts dating Eminem though, it's over.

It was my daughter's 1st birthday on Saturday!  We had the party on Sunday though because it was Easter weekend for us Ukrainians and we bless our food on Saturday evening.  Plus her brother was at my in-laws for the week and was coming home Saturday afternoon.  I had a lot of errands to run, from picking up balloons (see below pic I posted on Instagram), to picking up the Minnie Mouse cake.  In honour of my daughter's birthday, who we call 'Miss Mouse' because her middle name is Minnie, I wore this adorable Minnie Mouse tee I recently picked up at Zara.  Of course, I couldn't help pairing my outfit with these Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats, which were perfect to run errands in because they are so comfortable!  Pink + Minnie Mouse = I am definitely a kid at heart!

I went with a pink, Minnie Mouse theme and these were 2 of 5 balloon bouquets.  These were the smaller bouquets!
