OOTD – Black & White Tight
Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
It’s mid-week, the temps are rising and the sun will be shining – all is good in the neighborhood! Dark and dreary days really take a toll on the mind and body, which is not good when trying to lose weight. I need to step up my Zumba workouts and cut back on the carbs so that my clothes fit better…this skirt is tight!
Does the weather or seasons affect your weight?

Both the skirt and top were thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill). The top was made in Hong Kong and has a very unique design with the metal rectangles sewn onto the front.

OOTD – Out of the Closet
Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve
How often do you venture into the back of your closet? Are you afraid of going back there…are you afraid of what you might find…or are you just afraid of getting lost never to be seen again? I very rarely look in the back of my closet, not because of it’s size but because that’s where I keep clothes that no longer fit but don’t want to get rid of…as if I’ll ever wear my Wedding Night nightgown again! Unfortunately, included with those items are also others that wish they could see the light of day because they have been forgotten yet still fit.
Thanks to the avalanche in my closet I can now see clear to the back and guess what I saw….pantsuits….lots and lots of pantsuits, which were very popular in the mid-90’s. At one time in Corporate America before there was a “Work From Home” program when you could wear sweats, jeans or pajamas, Casual Friday’s for women meant wearing pantsuits to the office and I had quite a few. The one that I am wearing today was probably kept because of the unique buttons which is it’s best feature otherwise, it’s just a “plain Jane” pantsuit.
I think my son may have been a little upset with me this morning and took it out on my head which in most pics has been chopped.

OOTD – Don't Step on my Blue Suede Shoes!
Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
This morning I jumped out of bed when I realized it was Friday….tomorrow I can sleep in – yay! I am such a sleepy head, I never get enough sleep – sometimes I am tired of being tired. Commuting back and forth to work 1 & 1/2 hours each way every day really takes a toll on me and my car. Tomorrow I am sleeping in until noon!!!
How many of you remember Elvis Presley’s hit, Blue Suede Shoes – well this is my version of the shoe, actually booties and they are much nicer than what he sang about. If you do remember Elvis, what was your favorite song or movie, I liked Blue Hawaii.
These blue studded booties by Bamboo were purchased several years ago from Burlington Coat Factory and the skinny jeans were $16.44, from “Wally World” (Walmart). They had several different colors and I may have to get another pair because of the fit. I chose 1 size up because they are low riders, but I think I can get away with a pair in my regular size. The sleeveless tank was purchased on clearance from Boscov’s, and the jacket was thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill). Silver cuff bracelet from Citi Trend, rings and earrings from my jewelry box.
Wednesday, my son’s Business Class went on a Field Trip to Macy’s in NYC, he purchased a pair of Nike Sneakers and this T-Shirt which I thought was really nice. I can’t wait until he no longer wants it because I’d love to wear it!

OOTD – Sensible Shoes
Hello Friends and Happy Monday, 15 days until Christmas and the 7th day of Hanukkah 2012.
Today is one of those, “jump back into bed pull the covers over your head” type of days. It’s cold, damp and dreary, but it’s also another day the Lord has kept us so I’ll rejoice and be glad in it. However, the dreary weather is cause for my dreary outfit including the sensible shoes.

OOTD – Autumn in the Air
Happy Tuesday my friends.
Today’s Autumn-like weather, which officially doesn’t start until Friday had me breaking out the sweater and umbrella.

OOTD – Work Week Skirt Week – Day 2
Today this morning it was brisk, bright and cloudless, eerily similar to the morning of 9.11.01
RIP to all those who were tragically lost on that day – our Angels forever
Day 2 of skirt week is completely thrift-free which for me is a feat! In June, I purchased this Valerie Bertinelli skirt (worn here) at Marshalls, I didn’t want to pay full price but I also didn’t want to wait for it to be marked down. The top was either purchased at Marshalls, TJ Maxx or Ross, as they all have similar clothing items.

Wishing you a wonderful evening.
