Simons' Follow-up

-
I purchased almost $700 of clothing online from Simons about a month ago. I was giddy with anticipation.

I got the box and immediately raced to the bedroom to try it all on. . . .

And then I packed it all back up and mailed it back. I didn't score 1 item.

The main item I wanted for the spring was some new colored denim. I actually really like the color of the pink pants I'm wearing above. Like REALLY like it. The problem was the back pockets. They were quite small and I didn't like how my butt looked. That is hilarious to write. Hugh thought I was looney until I showed him my tush in a pair of pants with larger back pockets. He then, much to his own disbelief, agreed with me. As much as I wanted those hot pink pants, I returned them. I also quite like the look of the blouse, but I couldn't move in it. #tight

Last week Deena and the crew at the Blended Blog looked at leggings paired with scarfs. Recently, Deena has got me thinking about my signature look and I feel like it would definitely have a scarf in it. My favorite outfit of the two above is the black with the green cardi (Gap) and grey and yellow scarf (Gap). I had read a blog (wish I could remember where) about wearing all black. I wasn't sure I could make all black springy, but I got a few compliments on it at work. So either whether I made it springy or not, score!

Happy Monday!

    SO sad about the Simons :( We need to go on a roadtrip and shop somewhere, me thinks. Also you look amazing in that black outfit, hot momma!

    I love the black shoes super cute. And how disappointing on the return. I like to make a positive spin and say but look at all the money you saved! HA!

      EXACTLY what I thought about saving money. I then went to the Gap Factor and promptly spent some of it! LOL

    Oh, what a disappointment. $700 worth of clothes and you didn't end up with one!!! :( I actually didn't notice the bum thing until you pointed it out. LOL. I love your signature looks on the other hand and love the black on black, which I rarely ever do but you know what, this just might be the week to try it out. Thanks Jordan.

    I so wanted not to see the bum thing myself. I LOVED the color of those jeans!

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t...

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that ...
