White Wednesday and Breaking the "Rules"

The Fashion Police might consider citing me for this infraction....
I admit that I am breaking the rules...and do so with gay abandon!

Hint Hint...It's white Wednesday.

It's the rule about white...

are you familiar with that rule?

Hey Girlfriend...

these jeans are soooo comfy.

(they go with so many things that are hanging in my closet)

So why not wear white after Labour Day?

I have not retired these jeans to the "off season closet" just yet.

New purchase from The Hudson's Bay

Gap distressed denim jacket

Sperry Top Siders espadrilles

Silver is my current shade to accessorize these jeans...

Bangles ~ vintage, Tiffany, Birks, Boyd Bond, and artisan.

Vintage Belt 

French Connection soft cozy grey top

it looks oversized but really is not baggy

the hem sits on the hips.

Worn with freshwater pearls

Stripes and white...

nautical and nice.

Love the weight and shape of this top.

It camouflages the midriff area which is not as toned as it was when I was younger!

Just saying that if this anemone can still bloom in October...

I can wear white jeans.

Hope that you are having a lovely week.

What fashion rules are you breaking?

Sunny daze...OOTD

We've been enjoying a sunny Saturday.

It started out quietly with the sun streaming in the windows.
I sat and leisurely sipped a mug of tea while I perused Sharon Santoni's newest book. I keep it on the coffee table in the Humble Bungalow living room so it's easy to pick up. If you haven't had an opportunity to browse through the book which features elegant homes and chateaus of Sharon's wonderful friends you might want to add it to your reading list.

We scurried off to Oak Bay Avenue for a coffee with our family...
our mission was shopping for Hunter boots for Isla...in pink.(of course!)
Afterwards we went off to the park for some fun and games.

~ OOTD ~

Banana Republic skinny jeans

Cloudveil wool tee from Costco

Barbour vest

I have never bought anything by Coach.

(My son and his lovely wife gave me a Coach silk scarf one Xmas)

They also gave me this J Crew Venus Flytrap necklace.

After our park play time we got into our gardening clothes...

that particular OOTD will not be seen on the blog!

We've been outside for hours prepping the site for our new greenhouse which is due sometime in the next week or so...very exciting to think that we will be able to extend our growing season and that we will be able to grow heirloom tomatoes!

I'm going to freshen up and rustle up some super quick (and easy) chicken burritos.

~ Chicken Burritos ~

Saute sliced onions, red and green pepper strips until soft, 

add 1 pound of ground or thinly sliced chicken to the pan and cook until soft and chicken is no longer pink.

Add a Tablespoon of chili powder and 2 teaspoons of cumin and stir

(Red chili flakes or a glug of Frank's Red Hot Sauce are optional)

stir in some regular ketchup, enough to make a sauce.

Grate some cheese, cube some tomatoes and shred some lettuce.

Arrange on a platter and the burritos are almost ready to assemble.

Heat burrito shells in microwave one at a time for about 60 seconds.

top with a small amount of the chicken mixture

garnish with veggies and top with cheese.

Roll up and eat!

Now how much easier could dinner be?

Simple

Quick and easy

clean up is a snap

~ then ~

it's time to hit the couch for some relaxation and Netflix .

Wishing you a Happy Weekend.
