want to give me a "squiiish"?


This sweater makes me happy. See: me happy.

I'm so happy I'm hugging it! Oh sweater, how I love thou. Also: "Dear Spring, where art thou?". Actually, I was wearing a lot less earlier in the day. So yes, Spring IS here. Though I still think it could be Spring-er.

On the topic of hugging: my son hugs. Well, just a second, let me clarify: my son hugs things. And by things I mean objects.

If we say to him: "Give PigPig a squiiish" he will. Note: squiish = hug. PigPig = giant stuffed pig.

But if we say: "Give mommy a squiish." -nothing.

He hugs his teddy bears, he hugs his rubber ducks, he hugs my clothes (!), he even once hugged a coaster. But uh, that's all. He doesn't hug people. I've gotten more hugs from my nephew than from my son at this point!!

Seriously, he has never hugged ANYONE. But uh, coasters? Yeah, they're huggable. I mean, don't get me wrong, watching your baby hug a coaster is the cutest thing ever. Only. I want a hug! ;-)

That said, he does "cling". For instance, when I first turn on Tickle Me Elmo he is amused; but as Elmo grows increasingly erratic the more you tickle him, my son grows increasingly anxious and crawls on to my lap and clings to me. It's sweet. My son, that is. Tickle Me Elmo just gives me the creeps.


outfit details:

glasses, Vera Wang via clearlycontacts.ca: $68
sweater, thrifted: my husbands but I LOVES it
shorts: for sale at The Kimberellie Shop $14
tights: from a friend
shoes, naturalizer: $30

Heart: Kimberellie


Psssst! I thought you should know these shorts are my very first item up for sale in The Kimberellie Shop! So uh, yeah, go check them out and see if you want to buy them!! Note: I turned down the saturation on these photos. In real life the shorts are very navy blue (as you will see on the shop blog). Note: the sweater is basically the colour you see here (just in case you were curious)! Note (just one more!): tomorrow I'm going to wear colour. I promise!

  2. Hi there! I was introduced to your blog by Tracy over at the Wardrobe Wanderer and I've been following your posts for a couple of days! Love the tights and shorts look! Also, my daughter went through a phase where she didn't hug me much either! At the time, I thought I was the only mommy with such an non-huggy daughter. But, boy, is she making up for it now. She is three. I wake up almost every morning to her crawling into bed with me and kissing my cheek and saying, "Good morning, Mommy. I love you." Yep....totally makes up for the non-huggy months!!

  4. Agreed, Tickle Me Elmo is very creepy! B gave me a no hugging stage. It wasn't fun. Now she's giving me the 'I want daddy' stage. it's not fun either! Think of it this way, when you do get that hug, it's gonna be so much more special.=)

    ps. I LOVE this look. You look so cozy. Huggable!! :D

  7. You are so adorable. What a great snugglie, but chic, outfit. And your idea about the basement tea party sounds fabulous! I never studied art, but I'd love to talk about it...well it seems to me that any conversation with you would be interesting. And you're right, it would be a great setup for some pics.

  12. I love this outfit! Not only does it look super comfy but it looks so great on you. I would love a sweater like this- looks like one you could curl up in on the front porch on a chilly spring night. Perfect!
