OOTD Spiffykerms Style

@spiffykerms My Dad passed 8 years ago and I always love wearing one of his sweaters when it’s cool enough. Sweater: From Daddio Pants: @gap last winter @Sperry Chelsea rain boot#CapCut ? Shotgun – George Ezra

Ah, the favourite time of year for me is back. Took long enough, sheesh. California had been in a heatwave for what seemed like over two weeks and it’s only now starting to cool off enough in the mornings to wear some fall weather clothes. So here’s one of my faves, my Daddios sweater. He passed away 8 years ago, but eevery Fall/Winter I get out his 2 sweaters and wear them at least once. Here’s one of them. Back in the day when my parents went on weekend getaways I always slept with one of my Dad’s sweaters, so I had to have these when he passed.

I’ve been picking out my outfits including undergarments ahead of time. Otherwise, I tend to revert back to plain favorites. Laying back tea and a plain back leggings. This is how I would style these Boots when I take a moment for myself to pick out my outfits for the week…random fact there for ya.

Some people have asked me – How do I find time to write blog posts as a SAHM of 3? Well listen here, I tell you. My ideas come to me walking to pick up my son from school with the two younger brothers in the stroller and I use voice to text to email myself. Ideas or blog post content or just talk to myself and send myself an email with the paragraphs I’ve spoken to text, edit it to make it sound coherent and there you have it. All I have to do is include photos.

OOTD: Fall Style

No Comments

My go-to look this Fall. I love this jacket that I’ve been making sure my outfits go with said jacket, so I could wear it (nearly) daily. It’s a lot heavier feeling than it looks, and has a nice weight to it. It’s oversized and can comfortably fit a nice warm sweater on underneath. I’ve been pairing it mainly with black leggings and a black top. Oof, I love it. Love it.

I mean, the jacket doesn’t look like it’d be that warm, right? Wrong. It’s warm enough for an always cold person like myself and I’ve been known to wear it inside the house too, since it’s always so freezing indoors for some reason.

Outfit details:
Rayban sunnies
Free People jacket
Target tee
prAna leggings
Brooks sneaks

Y so serious.

Clearly working on my different poses lol. Toe tap, with my arms cozied up around me acting like it’s sooooo chilly here in California (actually, as a Canadian living here….it does get cold!).

I trimmed off my scraggly dead ends off my hair a few days ago. Also featured appearance: Alfie friend! Our sweet puppa.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Outfit of the Day: Oct 2, 2019

No Comments

Second of October, wouldja look at the time fly by. We’re already organizing our Christmas card photos since we’d like to have them mailed out a little earlier since most of them go to Canada and I’d like them to arrive before Christmas. Similar to last year we’re going to do them ourselves with a tripod set up in a specific location I’ve scouted out for us this year. Let it be a tradition, I say!

So, another OOTD post. You bored of them yet?

This time I’m comin’ atcha with a new feature – these vegan boots I got as a PR sample. They’re the Luana bootie made by Arcopedico.

Like ’em? I sure do. I got a size 9 and I think if they did half sizes I’d definitely size up. I don’t usually wear socks in my shoes, but come winter time I would and I think I’d need some extra room in there if I’m wearing socks. 

How has everyone been? Thanks for sticking around all these months while I tried to figure out what to do with the ol’ blog. I knew I didn’t want to turn it into a full-blown mom-blog since I prefer not to talk much about my son online, or show his face/name. But occasionally I’ll update you on his fun adventures. For now, I’m trying to find the best time to sit down and write a post, and what type of posts – OOTD/Beauty related etc. I’m not sure.

Anyway let’s get onto a few more outfit photos, then the outfit details. 

This next pic is a more of Instagram vs. Reality. I don’t have a vase for my pampas grass yet, and so I put this one stalk in a giant pot hoping it’d stay put for my photos (which it clearly didn’t since I’m holding it in most the pics). Hence my frustrated face trying to fix it while my self-timer shots kept going on.

Outfit details:
Sweater: Universal Threads by Target. I’m usually a small/medium but I stuck to the small for this sweater. The medium made the sweater too frumpy
Leggings: Forever 21 high wasted. Junk leggings that I need to keep haulin’ up. I’ll keep wearing until they wear out because I hate wasting money.
Booties: Arcopedico (linked above!)
