Clothes But Not Quite

Clothes But Not Quite Fashion - Beauty - Lifestyle Let’s be friends. Wife to Tim & Mom to James. Not wanting to take on this huge task alone, I asked my son James to help me out.

I was born and raised in the city of Saskatoon in the province of Saskatchewan in a far away land named Canada. I grew up madly in love with fashion and beauty, worked in retail fashion and also modeled. After reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, I was inspired to start a style blog to share with others what I have learned over the years. On our blog I share fashion trends, great produ

cts (and those to avoid), style on a budget, my outfit of the week, and much more. In my spare time I enjoy singing, shopping, reading, photography, travelling, and writing. I now live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada with my husband Tim and our son James. Five things you might not know about me:

1. I'm a devout Catholic who loves God.

2. I'm a tea addict, drinking at several cups a day.

3. I struggle with health challenges.

4. When something goes wrong my first comment is, "Seriousment?!?"

5. I could never be a vegetarian due to my love of hot wings. James is my two year old toddler who loves to make us laugh so he has taken over Monday's Meme. Each Monday, James posts a funny meme that he hopes you like. He loves cars, avocado, bubbles, going to the park, and riding in the car. So grab a coffee, pull up a chair and let's hang out for as little or as long as you please. We won't tell anyone how long you ended up staying! ;)

We hope our blog inspires you to dress better, look better, be healthier, and love life! Questions or comments? Send an email to [email protected] or head on over to our Contact Us page. Don't forget to follow us so you don't miss a thing:

To shop this look, click on the link in my profile. I can dream about you, my wardrobe and sometimes I do! I’m bringing back this floral jacket and this time pairing it with a t, a chunky heart necklace, some bermuda jean shorts, sunnies, my black bag, and espadrilles. I like how this look is comfy, yet polished - ready for shopping or a date night. And I also like that I can remove the jacket and still look put together. It’s been raining hard these past two days and we’ve needed it badly. So I’m blessed to have taken photos last week! And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!

To shop my look, click on the link in my profile. They said, “Hit me with your best shot.” so here’s my look of the day. Yes I’m still all about matching sets and this is a great find! I’ve worn the skirt already with my strawberry shirt but now it’s matching sets time! I decided to wear a white cap, belt bag, and sneakers with some classic black shades. I’m ready to go to some sporting event. Too bad I don’t golf because my outfit says I do! 🤣 And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!

To shop my link, click on the link in my profile. Maybe there’s a Tokyo rose on my skirt that I’m wearing as a dress. I added a big floppy hat, cute sunnies, a tacos belt and bag, and cute espadrilles. I’m now all dressed up with no place to go! I need a garden party or wedding or a trip to the Riviera etc. Happy Friday everyone! And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!

To shop this look, click on the link in my profile. It’s hot in the city, but I just got these jeans and needed to style them! I’ve had my eye on them to buy them for long and then they finally went on sale for 60% off. I feel they were still too much but I just love them so much I had to pull the trigger. I decided to go with gold shoes and a bag, and a neutral tank, hat, and sunnies. I think you’ll be seeing these jeans again. And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!

To shop my look, click on the link in my profile. Even though it’s not technically summer today, the temperature made it a cruel summer! 🥵 I wore my green skirt which is half of a set with my strawberry t shirt, cute sunnies, red mary janes, and my straw bag to go and buy plants today and get groceries. I was still pretty hot even though this outfit was light and airy - thanks menopause! I just need to go one more time for a few more plants because my SUV can only hold so much! 🤣 And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!

To shop my look, click on the link in my profile. Sometimes life in a northern town is simple and this outfit represents a basic yet intentional look. A cap, sunnies, cute bag, my fav sneakers, a graphic t, and wide leg jeans and I’m ready for anything! I even mowed the lawn - I changed shoes for that because you know grass stains on white shoes. My husband can’t put any weight on his leg for another four weeks so I’m doing it all! Keep me in your prayers. And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!

To shop my look, click on the link in my profile. Happy Memorial Day my American friends! 🇺🇸 May you have a wonderful long weekend remembering those who gave their lives for your country. In honour of your day I’m sporting the red, white, and blue. The top is half of a matching set and I paired it with gingham ruffled shorts, a white bag and sandals. You may notice the absence of a hat because I finally coloured my hair! Yay!! 😀 Thanks again for all the well-wishes for my husband’s broken leg. He got his staples out today and now has a boot on his foot. Thank goodness for Costco’s prepared meals! And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!

To shop my look, click on the link in my profile. If I leave to go somewhere, I’m wearing this look! It’s so comfy and bright it might not be for everyone. I put on a pink t to match my printed pants, then added sunnies, chunky heart necklace, a hat, straw tote, and blue wedges. I like these pants a lot because there’s so many colours in them that you can match them with pretty much everything. I also love my straw tote because it holds everything that a busy Mom needs and looks cute. American friends, hope you have an awesome Memorial Day long weekend! 🇺🇸 And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!

To shop this look, click on the link in my profile. I’m not a rich girl, but maybe I can dress like one? Yay it’s Friday!! Time for the weekend! Doing anything exciting? As for me, I’m going to Mass, colouring my hair - yes the hats serve a purpose 😉, taking my son to his soccer game, and still playing nurse to my injured hubby. You know I love leopard print so here it is again, this time with capped toe heels, frilly skirt, neutral bag, hat, and sunnies. And remember, trendy doesn’t have to be expensive! Bye!
