I am a former teacher, current stay-at-home, middle-aged, mom-on-the-go.  I don’t profess to be super stylish, but I enjoy being a girl and do find fashion fun.

White Stuff is a British company, so their sizing is different than US sizing.  Anyone from the US ordering from that site  would want to refer to the size charts for the proper conversion.

The Juniper dress from Petite Studio (still have to open the box)

Hunter rain boots

Old Navy navy blue with white dots sheath dress for a permanently packed suitcase project I am working on.

Asymmetrical rainbow dress (scroll down a bit) because I love color, this made me smile, and I can’t wait to be a walking kaleidoscope someday.

Plus two ribbed tanks, one white, one navy blue to wear underneath some tops this winter.

I returned the Old Navy dress posted above.  I thought it fit weird (on me) and, it turns out, I don’t like Ponte fabric.

Moving on, cozy winter sweater dresses:

Fashion Union cable knit belted midi dress

and 

Esprit cowl neck textured knit dress

Preparing for a post-quarantine world.  I purchased two bras from The Little Bra Company.  The Lucia and the Courtney.  They have not arrived yet, but, I have high hopes.

I recently purchased the Rosie sleeveless pocket dress and Shandra reversible tank from a local, sustainable brand called Miik (this company is woman founded/run and they often use "community models" of many shapes and sizes (including height, which is important for me)!!!).  They arrived yesterday, but I haven't worn either yet.  I also went on a Sephora shopping spree (online, since stores are closed here)...

@Scatterbrained:  I own several bras from The Little Bra Company as I have a smaller band size (in addition to cup) at 30B.

PRgal, the miik tank dresses look versatile and comfortable for summer wear.  I had never heard of them before.  Thanks for the introduction to a new brand!  It sounds as if you like The Little Bra Company’s products if you own several.

Miik is a Canadian brand (based here in Toronto) I discovered several years ago at a women-focused lifestyle show.  They were the first brand which made blazers that didn't have structured shoulders.  I lived in Miik when my son was born since many of their pieces are machine washable (blazers aren't).

I just ordered a bunch of face masks for my kids from Primary.  I feel that it is worth mentioning that the price is very affordable because they are only charging for production and fulfillment.

I recently ordered a bunch of dresses for DD from their rainbow shop.  She is very sensitive and picky and the one we ordered for her last year was a wardrobe favorite.  I would have liked to order a tie dye t-shirt for DS, but they were out of his size.
