A Hat

Today's post is a big fat cheat. I already wore this outfit here (so if you remember this outfit you are not going crazy), then I remembered I wanted to take a picture of me wearing the hat. I re-shot the pictures with different jewelry and the hat.

I love hats, I just don't wear them because I'm a big scaredy cat. I have no qualms about wearing leather pants or a python skirt, but give me a hat and I'm all nervous. It's just a thing I have. I can't be the only one with a thing.

Before I leave you here are they lyrics that are in my head today...Fancy by my man Drake. Toronto native, love him.

"Go
go ‘head
go go go ‘head
go go go go go go ‘head
go go go go go go ‘head
oh you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh

Nail done, hair done, every thing done
nails done, hair done, everything d…
oh you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh
you you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh

Nail done, hair done, every thing done
nails done, hair done, everything d…
oh you fancy huh"

Yup that's me.

Black White & Leopard

I have been feeling wardrobe blah. I am not saying I have nothing to wear. I'm just overwhelmed, underwhelmed, don't know where to start lately type of mood. When I feel this way I just stick with something simple - black bottom, white top and a pair of leopard shoes. Clean and classic, better than blah and lost. My skinny Yoga Jeans have become a staple and honestly my go to piece. I don't understand why I hadn't found this company sooner. What's important is that I know about Yoga Jeans now and so do you. 

Plus, I swear my youngest son lost the remote control for my camera. One second I had it, the other second it was gone. I know the thing doesn't have legs so it didn't walk off. I swear I'll find it in a shoe or lodged in my pantry somewhere but I'll have purchased a new one because I've ripped through my house and not found it. Yeah!

This white tunic is great with skinnies or a slight boot cut pant. I'm not a fan of tunics with skirts, or slouchy pleated pants. A tunic, untucked, with a skirt does not have the right symmetry and "beauty" is simply about symmetry. With slouchy pleated pants the tunic has too much bulk in the mid-section. When is bulk in the mid-section ever attractive?

Ladies Who Lunch

That's what I think of when I see these pictures. Honestly, nothing could be further from the truth but I do like to look the part, just in case...This is what I wore for the 38th Annual Canadian Croatian Folklore Festival held in Windsor. Life has come to a complete 360, my sisters and I were all performers, so was my husband and his siblings. Now my children carry on the tradition (not to mention the fact that my husband and I met at a Festival held in Hamilton many years ago), as do the children of many of my close friends, including my Goddaughter Iva and her little sister Nives.

This tunic is a couple of years old at least, I purchased it after I had my third or fourth child (I honestly cannot remember) at a Brooks Brothers Outlet store. It is one of those all purpose pieces, after having a child or not, where you just look put together. I used to consider this my "bouncing back" outfit, still looks good today.

Adding accessories completes the look...again with the navy and gold...I am looking pretty nautical as well.

One more thing - I could have worn yellow, red, green or even orange shoes if I wanted that pop of colour. Or for something more subdued - a dark brown.
