I’m wearing red and white for Canada Day. It’s been a lovely Canada Day weekend: going to family-owned Barrie’s Asparagus Farm with friends, hosting a garden party and I’ll be out this afternoon for our traditional Pioneer Village outing with family.
Something old and something new. My red skirt has a white lacy print and handkerchief hemline. I’ve had it for several years.
This fitted, sleeveless blouse is new, with tiny ruffles around the neckline and a lovely embroidered design. The row of nine buttons are tedious to do up, but I don’t mind, because I love the old-fashioned style with an updated look, so feminine!
I love red shoes; these sandals are made in Italy and I have the same pair in black.
Cedardale Farm Est. 1892 (Barrie’s Asparagus Farm) has a wonderful nostalgic feel of country living in the olden days. Take a step back in time where you are warmly welcomed with county-style hospitality. It’s a great day trip for people living in driving distance to Kitchener, Ontario. If you live in Kitchener, you really should come (if you haven’t already)!

Thank you so much! I just decided to check spam which I rarely do and I have no idea why your comment ended up in there! I’ll be checking more often, I don’t want to miss a comment and an opportunity to thank you!
I’m going to the market now, I think I’ll make asparagus soup for dinner. 🙂
Have a happy weekend!

Happy Canada Day Carmen!
I’ve never been to Cedardale farm. Do they have a restaurant? Or is it just a shop? I would love to visit as it is close enough to Mississauga.
Love your skirt and Canada Day outfit : )

Thank you Suzanne!
Barrie’s Farm does not have a restaurant, but you can always drive five minutes to Langdon Hall while you’re in my neck of the woods 😉
My grandson is here and eagerly waiting for me to finish my responses so we can go to Doon Pioneer Village, Have you ever been? I used to go to Black Creek Pioneer Village when I lived in Toronto.
What are you doing to celebrate Canada Day?

Happy Canada Day, Carmen. Canada … a paradise for a Mediterranean latin who does not really like the warm and dry landscape. Canada, with its forests, its lakes, its rivers, its nature is … paradise. I love Canada. And I love your look today, and your program today. I like to visit places like Pioneer Village and Farm Barrie. You’re lucky to live in such a wonderful site. And your outfit for the day Canada is beautiful. The skirt is very pretty, I love the pattern and the end, with this cut peaks. But I love it, especially the blouse is absolutely stunning. The embroidered fabric, the ruffles at the neckline, and how it fits your figure is wonderful. It is a piece that is a treasure, and worth wasting time buttoning and unbuttoning the string of buttons. The hearts adorning your neck and your ears are “pure Carmen”. A wonderful look, a post that excites me, and some pictures than they love.

Thank you so much J-M! You have become my fashion consultant. 🙂 I always check to see if my outfit meets with your approval, you have a great perspective and know so much about style!
You would love Canada! It is a great country, and although I did not choose to live here (my parents moved here from Germany when I was five) I’m thankful they did. However, I do love Europe VERY much!! I enjoy it immensely every time I visit and had a marvelous opportunity to live in Germany and Scotland for awhile.
Winter here in Canada is definitely NOT what I would call paradise 😦 Maybe for the polar bears!!
I hope to visit Catalonia someday 🙂 and perhaps you can put Canada on your list of places to visit. 😉 You would love wandering in the mountains here in Canada, but you would need to go to British Columbia which is over 3,000 km from where I live. I have never been there and yet I live in Canada. Canada is enormous and hard to imagine the vastness of this land. We have wonderful places to go right here in Ontario.
Thanks again and have a good evening!

Thank you Joni! I can dress it down with a denim jacket and jeans. A very versatile blouse that I’m sure I’ll get a lot of wear out of it.
