My new top from @northernreflections is luxuriously soft, the print is unique and I love the style with a handkerchief hem. I’ve paired it with comfortable drawstring pants, from Northern Reflections. They also come in charcoal.Northern Reflections is a quality Canadian women’s clothing company, I’ve been a happy customer over the years (since 1985 when the first store opened) and I’m delighted to collaborate with a company who cares about our environment and values SLOW FASHION.#southampton #sunset #lakehuron#sunset #southampton Ontario #lakehuronStyling my floral top with white jeans and red jeans. #florals #magnolias #fashion #fashionbloggerStyling my floral top with red jeans and black faux leather pants. #florals #fauxleather #fashion #fashionblogger #thrifingStyling my floral blazer with white jeans and black faux leather pants. #fashionblogger #florals #whatveganswearI always find something I like at Northern Reflections 🇨🇦(Canadian women’s apparel store).

Thank you very much Bob! The dress certainly stands out: the vibrant colours, the style. I appreciate my mom’s style more now than when I was younger, I was always aware of her beauty and charm, but only now realize what great taste she had, that she chose quality clothes that stood the test of time. How many granddaughters can wear their grandmothers clothes? 😉
Thanks for stopping by!

That dress is great on you! Such a timeless, classic piece. Oma had impeccable taste and would be thrilled to know we both enjoy her style. I’m glad you had a wonderful birthday. The chickpea burger looks delicious!

Thank you so much for letting me take the dress home so I could wear it on my birthday. That’s the best present you can give me! I’ll bring it next time we meet. You’ve taken good care of it. I’m going to see if I can get someone to make a copy of it, find some fabric with a similar print if possible. ❤

I just love that you are wearing your Mom’s dress and rings. I’m sure it felt like she was sitting right there with you. Looks like a lovely birthday meal.
We’ve often been by the Old Mill but have never eaten there. After seeing that great looking veggie burger though I’m thinking the next time we are there we might need to try it out.
