Sometimes, You Just Need a New T-Shirt

in Blog Talk, Fashion, Outfit Post on 08/17/17

Summer outfit inspiration, wearing a striped softspun t-shirt from Gap

You guys! This crazy, schizophrenic weather has been driving me nuts! One minute it’s sunny and beautiful – and the next minute, there’s a torrential downpour. It’s been a really weird summer, but we all have to make the best of it. After all, a poor summer is still always better than winter, isn’t it?

Even though I typically like to shoot outfit photos outside, we tried something different this time around. To avoid the rain, we did part of our shoot indoors. It was a little bit tricky to navigate the different type of lighting…but we made it work. Normally I would have my umbrella with me, but even then it can be difficult to take a photograph when it starts raining. One of my friends recently bought me the best windproof umbrella which I am determined to use one day soon, especially if this bad weather keeps up!

Now onto the outfit! I’d love to say I’m wearing a bunch of new and exciting fall pieces like some of the big-time bloggers…but that’s not the case today. Instead, I’m sharing the outfit that I wore last weekend to the Taste of the Danforth.

That being said, my t-shirt is new. It’s the Gap softspun striped t-shirt and when I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I already have some of the tank tops from the softspun collection and they’re awesome. The material is so soft and I love how perfectly it drapes. As for the sandals, I’ve had them forever. They’re starting to look a little bit ratty, but I can’t get rid of them because they’re so darn comfortable. Besides, I think they look nicer in photos than they do in real life, so you’d never know!

      Thank you!! The lighting didn’t even seem like it was so great, but photo-editing is a wonderful thing 😉

      BUT – that was my thought for the winter too…not that I want to imagine that feeling at the moment haha

    YOu found a couple of great indoor spots for photos! I always find indoor outfit photos so hard to take.

    I like your tee too! A nice knit like your cardigan is good for layering on a cooler day as well.

    Hope you are having a lovely weekend 🙂

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

Now that these have been gifted, I can share these Now that these have been gifted, I can share these! 

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card 2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card - at least, at my house! Actually, it’s more than cards being handmade these days 😌

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

I love how these little toques (aka: beanies) turned out. I also had a couple extras in a different yarn, so I added string and threw them on the tree!

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
