You Choose the Shoes – Week 20


Hello friends,

 

I hope all is well in your world.  I am slowly but surely getting adjusted to having only one son at home with Malik now away at college.  He seems to be doing well, last week I received a few text messages and 1 phone call!  I can now fully appreciate the “call your mom” statement.

 

Thank you all for the votes last week, it was a close race but the winner squeaked by and it was the NO Bow Dollhouse beige wedges.

WINNER OF WEEK 19

 

This week you will be choosing between high and low, as in flats versus heels.

Heels vs Flats

These gorgeous heels were actually given to me from fellow blogger, Nout over at SandpaperKisses and when I saw them I was blown away in love!  If you get a chance go over to her place and show her some bloggy love – she is just too adorable!

Not only were these shoes a perfect fit, but the platform in the front made them uber comfortable.  Now they may not seem as comfortable as a their contenders, these well-worn pair of color block flats purchased from CitiTrends.

These ballerina flats are also very comfy, but for only a short period of time.  I need arch support so I find wearing flats for long period of time uncomfortable.  

How about you, can you wear flats without discomfort?

So are you ready to choose?  Which will it be, the flats or…

…the heels?  But of course before you make the final decision, take a look at them solo.

Autumn Attire

Hello Friends and Happy Monday

Although I am not ready for it, the fall season is upon us and in less than five days it will officially be Autumn.  Since I can’t fight it, I am giving in and have begun to put away the shorts and pulled out the long sleeves.  Sunday was a warm day, but it was too cool for short sleeves and shorts.

What I Wore Wednesday – WIWW

Hello Friends and Happy Ju’last day in July!

I hope it’s just a beautiful where you are as it is here because we have been experiencing wonderful weather this week. Tomorrow calls for a little rain but the rest of the week and into the weekend will be simply gorgeous! I have two blogging assignments scheduled for Thursday, one is a meeting to discuss doing a review for the Grand Opening of the Westown Movie Theater coming to Middletown this fall.  Then mid-morning I will be heading to Wilmington to take pictures and interview young entrepreneurs who have completed “The Chasing The Dream Entrepreneurship Camp” sponsored by The Money School of Delaware.

I have taken the day off from work, however, if you’re working tomorrow in Wilmington, please stop by Rodney Square between 11 and 1 for the “Chasing The Dream Entrepreneurship Marketplace”.  Students learned about starting businesses and now they have an opportunity and tools to run those businesses so please come out and support (don’t forget to bring an umbrella).

Nutrisystem – Day 1

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wondeful weekend and that your work week got off to a good start.  Today is the first day of my weight loss program with Nutrisytem and I am extremely excited, really looking forward to not only losing pounds and inches but once again concentrating on portion control.  I am not going to bore you with daily updates on what I ate or how many pounds I did or did not lose, I just want to feature my look on Day 1 so that at the end of the month we’ll all see a noticeable difference.

OOTD – Penney’s Peplum

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.

Hubby’s day was nice and I want to thank you for all the birthday well wishes.  I didn’t get the Walgreen’s Gift Card but did cook a wonderful meal, we had baked salmon, stuffed clams, steamed potatoes and coleslaw, dessert was a Lemon Meringue Pie which is his favorite.

I had hoped for warmer weather to wear this sleeveless BisouBisou Peplum top, but it’s a rainy drab day so I added a lightweight cardigan.

OOTD – Black and White with a Twist

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

It has finally happened, Winter is officially over and based upon the temps for the next few days so is Spring!  If you live in the MidAtlantic area you know that we went from the cold-in-the-low 50’s on Saturday to the hot-in-the-mid 80’s today, all I can say is “bring it on”!  I love the warmer temps, not intense heat but warm enough to wear only one layer of clothing and a wrap dress is perfect.  If you follow me on Instagram you know that I twisted my knee doing Zumba and haven’t been able to wear heels, needless to say, I’m not happy.  I did pose in them this morning but had to go straight to the flats to lessen the pain.

What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods?

OOTD – Casual FriYay

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Hear Ye Hear Ye We Lose an hour of Sleepy on Sundy – boo!

The good thing is we made it through another work week and the weekend is almost here!  I am so looking forward to it and will make up that hour loss on Sunday morning.  Saturday night will be a late night with me up watching Saturday Night Live with Justin Timerlake as the host AND musical guest!!!!!  JT is my all time favorite SNL host and with his new song “Suit and Tie” it’s going to be awesome!  Last week Kevin Hart was alright, his opening monologue was hilarious but the skits needed more rehearsing and his use of the words “G*D Dammit” was a bit offensive to me.

I am so looking forward to the beginning of Spring and was taken back when I saw snow flakes this morning, they didn’t last long and I hope not to see anymore until December!!

Bye Bye Snow… Hello Spring Flowers.
