OOTD – Warm Up Wednesday

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

Today it’s warm yet foggy due to the increase in temps making the morning commute a little slow. There were several fender benders on 95N, one of which was almost mine, however, my Guardian Angel shielded me from it making it a near miss.

You may remember when I purchased this outfit from Boscov’s (here), but it’s the first time that I’ve worn it.  This evening is my son’s Open House, and depending on traffic I may not have time to change clothes.   I wanted to wear something that would be comfortable enough to take me from work to walking the halls of a High School.

What do you think of this “from the office to the halls of high school” attire?

OOTD – Winter Wednesday

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

Being outside this morning was a little more bearable because of the lack of wind however, the temps are forecast to remain in the teens until at least the weekend. To that end, I would like to say to all of my left coast friends …”STOP COMPLAINING BECAUSE IT’S 40 DEGREES!!!

I truly don’t mind the cold weather because it allows me to dress in layers and then make adjustments as necessary. For example today I am wearing a sleeveless grey dress covered with a blazer so if I have a “personal summer” I can simply remove the blazer until it passes.

This outfit started with shoes but in the sunshine the tights took on a weird greenish tint so I changed to my OTK, black suede boots.

This black faux fur once belonged to my sister so you know it’s been around since the late 80’s – I really don’t like driving in it because of the bulk.

OOTD – Wine Wednesday

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.

I apologize if when you read today’s title you thought I would be posting about Barefoot or Lindeman Sweet Red Wines – nope, it’s not Friday nor is this Instagram!
Today’s posted outfit is Wine in color, or you could call it Oxblood or you could call it Burgundy – whatever … I chose Wine because it starts with a “W” and so does Wednesday – u so silly!  How would you describe the color?

OOTD – Belt It Yay or Nay ?

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

Now that the holidays are over and everyone is back to school and work we are now looking forward to the first major snow storm of the year.  If I had it my way it wouldn’t hit until late March and then a quick thaw straight to Spring!  I hope your Hump Day is progressing nicely and that you are not trying to cram 5 days of work into 3, but if you are, stop…take a deep breath and say,  “the weekend is almost here!”

Belt or not?

I didn’t wear it to work because I felt it would take away from the necklace, what do you think?

OOTD – Poncho and Patterns

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

Yay, today my energy level is high, and I am getting excited about having off next week – I hope to take a day or two and just do nothing!  I also plan to use a day to clean out my closets and prepare a large Goodwill donation before the end of the year.  Raising a glass to a productive and stress free day – cheers!

OOTD – Winter Wednesday

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope your day is proceeding according to plans.

 Today we are experiencing more unseasonably warm weather but the temps are expected to plummet tonight with a cold blast of winter winds.  This weekend I’ll sort through my “bin o sweaters” to determine which ones I’ll kept and which ones to donate.  I am not looking forward to the cold weather ahead but it’s the price we pay for living on the east coast.

OOTD- Shooting Solo

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.

Today is Tayair’s first day of work  – Yay, Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of adulthood!  He was hired as a seasonal employee for Amazon.com and will be packing those wonderful holiday gifts being shipped from Delaware.

Today is also “Preppy Day” at Appo High School and here’s Malik’s version of being preppy.

Today was also the first time I used the tripod and timer and I must admit that it’s harder smiling for a camera when there is no one behind it – lol

OOTD – Let it Snow!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.  The weather forecast for this afternoon and evening is high winds mixed with a dusting of snow.  Instead of the dress I had prepared to wear I chose to be uber comfortable in a pair of pants and flats.  These blue wing tips were purchased in the early 2000’s and are the most comfortable loafers that I’ve ever owned.  Blue side zipper pants paired with a long sleeve t-shirt in honor of President Obama’s  reelection makes my casual outfit for the day.

 I hope the snow holds off long enough for me to get into the state of Delaware because I hate driving in bad weather especially in the dark.

OOTD – A Little Bit Country

Hello friends and Happy Hump Day and Halloween Wednesday.  

I am finally back to work after being off since last Thursday and it’s all good in the neighborhood!  This denim riveted skirt has been hanging in my closet for almost a year, hubby gave it to me and I love the big side pockets.  I was in search of a pair of booties from Goodwill but found these at Rugged Wearhouse for $10.00 (woohoo).  I am not overly impressed with the pairing of the shirt, so my next search will be of a plaid to give the outfit a more country look, right now it’s a little Gypsy!

but if you are, be safe and don’t take any candy from strangers – lol!!!
