Friday Night Whites

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

There’s something fun and exciting about weekends in the summer, it doesn’t matter if you have plans to travel or are just staying home they just seem to be much more enjoyable.

The longer days, the lighter foods and of course lounging poolside always makes me feel better, how about you, what makes your summer weekends more enjoyable?

Friday’s are also casual work days which means I can wear jeans, not ripped or boyfriend jeans, but my summer whites which fits the bill as being corporate casual.

I am always afraid that I will turn back into a 5 year old and spill something when wearing white, but I made it through the day without an incident!   The jeans and Vera Wang camo tank are both thrifted, and the sandals which were purchased several years ago completes the outfit.

I chose brass accessories to match the brass links in the sandals as well as a coordinating blend in with the camouflage tank. The bracelets are from Burlington Coat Factory, ring and watch from Avon and brass chain from Michael’s.

I wore these jeans a week later which if you remember were just a dollar on clearance at JC Penney.  This was actually the day before the 4th Holiday and I was a bit ruffled because I had been running around after work shopping.

Striped top was thrifted from Goodwill, the scarf also $1.00 from Dollar Tree and the blue and white polka dots flats were purchased from Rugged Wearhouse for less than $10.00.

Layering Up on Casual Fri-Yay

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Today is the 2nd week of the #WWDParty, and the link will be live at 6:00 p.m.  So after you get home and wind down, come back and share a link or two of any of your posts from the week.

One of my favorite fashion blogs is FreeUrCloset and this week Nensi featured “How to Layer Like a Pro” which I wanted to try but am by no means a Pro!  I can’t wear a lot of layers because I’m warm by nature and menopause definitely doesn’t make it any better so this is what I came up with.

 Layer 1 and 2 if you count the Infinity Scarf

 Layer 3 is the vest.  Believe it or not, this Cable Knit Sweater once belonged to Gloria, my sister so that makes it at least 25 years old!

Casual Friday – Autumn Attire

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay! FRIDAY FOODIE FEATURE 021

In Delaware it is officially Autumn, the temps have dropped considerably (in the 50’s) and hubby even turned on the heat which I am definitely not happy about!

FRIDAY FOODIE FEATURE 019

This sleeveless top was thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill) and the slacks were purchase a few seasons ago at Boscov’s.  Asymmetrical sweater was purchased either at TJMaxx or Marshall’s also a few seasons ago.

FRIDAY FOODIE FEATURE 030

Put on a sweater if you are cold – “don’t turn on the ding dang dong heat – man!”  Can you tell that I am a miser – heck you can even call me Scrooge!

FRIDAY FOODIE FEATURE 027 Pour little tomato, it waited too late in the season to ripen so now it’s a “half and half” tomato – do you have a recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes?

FRIDAY FOODIE FEATURE 022

Pumps // Avon

I love the fact that Avon has really “stepped up” their shoe game because not only are they cute but they are also extremely comfortable!

Have you started wearing your Autumn Attire?

It snowed in upstate New York and Ohio so soon I will be wearing sweaters, hats, scarves and gloves – I am so not ready but maybe this year, hubby will be able to use his snow blower!

Have a fantabulous afternoon/evening – Smooches!
