What To Wear, What To Wear
Are you ready for the holidays? I sure am. I love everything this season entails - parties, good food, getting together with friends and family, and dressing up. And lucky me, I get to kick off the season with many of you this Saturday at the Canadian Design Bloggers Meetup!
As one of the organizers, I am excited to have you attendees enjoy yourselves at this little party that we have put together. But what to wear??? I admit, most days, I dress like a "mom" (minus the mom jeans, lol). Well, for me, figuring out the outfit means a trip to the grocery store. Yup, you heard that right. For you non-Canadians, you're probably not familiar with this hidden gem we have called Joe Fresh, a line of clothing that is sold in Loblaws and Real Canadian Superstores. Created by Joe Mimran, who also created Club Monaco and Caban, Joe Fresh features stylish basics at very reasonable prices. They are my go-to shop for kid's clothes (seriously, kids grow so fast that I don't want to spend a lot of money on their clothes!) and for when I need an inexpensive little basic for an outfit.
Here's a few of their holiday looks:
Maybe all I need is a cute sweater to put over a dress I already have...
I've worked from home for the last six months and was on maternity leave for the year before that, so you can imagine how un-stylish my wardrobe is, lol. Thank goodness for Joe. Now if we could only get a Target in Canada, my everyday wardrobe would be all set :)
Tell me, what do you wear when you want to feel a little bit pretty?

LOVE Joe Fresh!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG that is so me! I think that about 80% of my wardrobe is Joe Fresh! They are the perfect mom clothes... inexpensive, replaceable often, but still stylish (except for one pair of light grey jeggings that I just should have said 'no' to!)
ReplyDeleteDo you know I've never been to a Superstore? The girls at my work are always talking about it. I need to check one out! Loving the Joe Fresh style and I would totally be into a Target here in Canada.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Saturday!
Looking forward to Saturday, but also not sure what I'm wearing! Glad to hear someone else is still looking...and looking from the perspective of "mom"! Lol.

Is Minnesota Candadian enough for the meetup?
ReplyDeleteIn Vancouver we have a Joe Fresh store, even! Conveniently located right down the street from my office...
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo sad I can't come on saturday ... it's my Greenery day with the girls. We go up to a friend's cottage and cut greenery for our Christmas pots .... really mostly drink and eat!!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, the "Thing" to do when you get your JF ensemble together, PAY for it with PC reward points! Then, take a pic and Tweet it to Them! Mention the Meeting... ;-D
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there too... But, have my big Craft Sale to do! -- Anyway, WHATever you wear, I'm sure you'll look FAB! And, good luck with the whole Event!
Love love love Joe Fresh. I tried on that plaid dress but it did not look as cute on me as it did on the model! I did pick up the gray tulip skirt though and wore it my first day back to school!
ReplyDeleteI feel pretty in anything flowery or ruffly these days. And bows. I love bows.
I'm looking so forward to the meet-up on Saturday and have been trying to figure out what to wear!
ReplyDeleteLove Joe Fresh, they have such great pieces at great prices.

My go-to item this time of the year is usually a great coloured/patterned scarf over a basic long-sleeve tee. This keeps the shopping to a minimum :)
ReplyDeletei love those cardigans and rosette tees! wish we had that store here.
ReplyDeleteI DO know Joe! My bestest neighbors who moved away from me and back to Nova Scotia (the wife/mom was from there) dressed their little ones in all things Joe. We even inherited a bunch of their handmedowns before they left. I need to remember to check out their website. And to go up to Vancouver more often!

Joe is fabulous! I always end up picking up something while I'm grocery shopping! Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI have a sparkly tunic that I can't wait to break out this Christmas!
ReplyDeleteConnie - you must visit Joe! Be warned, their clothes are highly addictive. See you Saturday!
ReplyDeleteSharon - we'll just have to have another meetup then so you can attend ;)
Auntie Shan - wish you could be there too!
Morgan - I will definitely be wearing some ruffles. I think.
jbhat - Vancouver actually has a free-standing Joe store! Worth a trip, maybe?
Emilija - I think I buy more clothes now because its so convenient, lol. See you Saturday!
Sara - I NEED more sparkles in my wardrobe. Back to Joe, lol.
I'm right with you there Jennifer! I am borrowing a tank top from one sister and shoes from another sister for Saturday! It's pretty pathetic.
ReplyDeleteThose outfits are so gorgeous. I think my family would love to wear all those amazing outfits. The color is just so perfect and it looks so comfortable to wear.
ReplyDeleteI so wish I still had access to Joe! I have moved to Paris, and yes I still love the Joe Fresh Style! I'm an at home Mom and find that JFS makes a cool Mom wardrobe accessible to a one-salary household!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait 'til my next trip to Montreal so I can go shopping!
Sad I am not coming as well, but a flight from Vancouver to TO is pricey! I agree a Target in Canada would be REALLY nice:)
ReplyDeleteI find the Joe Fresh stuff is so pretty to look at but being tall {5' 9"}, they don't fit well :(
what!! love it all~ i love the images with all grey--i am such a fan! and you guys really need a target!!
ReplyDeleteThose look like J Crew! A grocery store? WOW!
ReplyDeletei have no idea what i'm wearing on saturday - and i have no time to go out and buy something new... such is life! looking forward to it though!!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery excited for Saturday and I basically exist in Joe Fresh- grocery shopping and clothes shopping all rolled int one = perfect in my books. Very excited for Saturday and not entirely sure on wardrobe- will pull something together:) xo
ReplyDeleteLOVE those sweaters!
