Hello friends,
welcome to Week 21 of “You Choose the Shoes“. I’ve had so much fun with this mid-week feature and I love all of your comments, but as with all good things this too must come to an end. As the weather cools so will the contest and September most likely will be the last month until Spring, but who knows I may change my mind. What say you?
I learned so much at last weekend’s SITSGirls Bloggy Boot Camp which you can read about tomorrow, that I am going to make a few changes to my blog. There will be changes to the posting schedule as well as the topics but I think you will like it so stay tuned.
Now lets get to to last week’s contest…by an overwhelming majority the winners were the HEELS!
This week’s contenders are Madden Girl versus Madden Girl or big Polka Dots versus little Polka Dots or as I like to call them my “Betty Boop” shoes. Speaking of Betty Boop, do you know the origination of the cartoon character? I recently heard on the Tom Joyner Morning Show that she was a “stolen” caricature based on jazz singer “Baby” Esther Jones. If you want to read more about it click here.
Do you remember this sheath dress from eShakti? I love the style and wearing it but by the end of the day it is so wrinkled!
These Madden Girl heels were purchased a few years ago from DSW and were actually featured in the 1st “You Choose the Shoes” post.
The necklace and earrings are Avon and bracelet is from Old Navy, purchased for $1.99.
I love my polka dot Betty Boop shoes, but which pair looks better with this sleeveless sheath?
Okay, are you ready to make a decision? Will it be Madden Girl big Polka Dots or…
Madden Girl little polka dots?

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
I love the Spring and Summer seasons, not only because of the warmer weather but because of the shoes! Sandals and open-toes are my favorites, but wedges, platforms, kitten heels, high heels, pumps, flats, it doesn’t matter, I wear them all.
I know that I’m not alone when I say, “I LOVE Shoes“. I’ve been known to purchase 3 different pairs all at the same time…all on the same day… AND all at the same store ~ I LOVE Shoes! Unfortunately, having only one pair of feet can cause a dilemma, the decision on which pair to wear for a particular outfit can be frustrating.
This new blog feature, “You Choose the Shoes” is helping me by giving you an opportunity to choose the pair of shoes that I’ll wear with a particular outfit of the day.
Okay, for this outfit which pair should I wear?
The Polka Dot sleeveless tank was thrifted from Goodwill and red Capri pants were on clearance at JC Penney?
Madden Girl Polka Dots from @DSW
or
Glo Jeans wedges from @Kmart
My hubby and son chose The Madden Girl
I had to do one of those 3-toe polishes this morning, but I will be making an appointment for my annual Spring pedicure!
So which one did you choose?
I’ll be linking up with my favorite fashionistas Whitney Nic James and Shana at ColorBlind, so when you get a chance hop over and check out their thrifted finds.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello Friends and Happy Throwback Tuesday!
Are old styles back in style or are they just being called by a different name?
Chambray or Denim..is it the same?
My sleeveless Denim dress was a thrifted bargain for only $2.62, from Goodwill.
Compare it to the Chambray dresses shown in this post by fellow blogger, Robinson Style .
Orange skinny belt from Avon
Wedge sandals from Marshall’s, found them hiding in the back of my closet unworn!
What say you … Chambray or Denim?
Have a fantastical day – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!

500 posts is not a cause for a big celebration but next month on my 1st year Blogiversary it will be so get your party clothes ready!

These Madden Girl pumps are my favorite shoes, not only are they comfortable but the Polka Dot bows remind me of Betty Boop and who doesn’t love that 1930’s PinUp Girl?

Hello friends, happy Monday and what a beautiful day it is. Every morning when I wake up I give thanks and think of how truly blessed we are…that after saying, “aaw man, I have to get up and go to work again!”. Monday is not my favorite day and today’s outfit isn’t my favorite either, just two solid pieces together, nothing special. Both the maxi skirt and top are closet staples which I have worn several times throughout the years, however, this is the first time wearing the Polka Dot peep-toes pumps. I’ve tried them on and even posed in them (here), but have never wore them out and they are quite comfortable. I should have gotten a half size larger because when I walk my feet slides forward causing the toes to stick out too far, need to get those gripper inserts.

Good Thursday, I hope your day is positive and productive. Today is less stressful now that I am back in my own cubicle after only an hour and half commute which always starts with a prayer for safe travels.
The outfit of the day is a 70’s throwback, wide leg pants and wedge sandals which I wore in Junior High School. The pants were purchased in May (here) and the sandals in June (here), but the patterns compliment each other – I love when that happens! The mix of jewelry includes wood, glass, plastic, stone and metal another throwback to the fashions of the 60’s and 70’s. Purse was purchased from TJ Maxx and is just large enough to carry all my daily essentials without being too bulky. I wish my figure was a throwback to the 70’s, then perhaps the belt purchased from Goodwill would fit a little less snug!

Orange is one of my favorite colors because it can be worn any time any season. I love the brightness of this thrifted J. Crew top paired with the asymmetrical brown and beige skirt especially on such a warm and bright day.

Last week I made the mistake of stopping at Ross only looking to purchase a 3 pack set of loofahs for my husband but unfortunately they didn’t have any. I had banned myself from shopping at Ross and hadn’t been there for over a month. Oftentimes they have such great deals that I’ll over spend my budget and Friday was no exception. After searching for the loofahs and eye-balling the purses instead of walking straight out the door, I made a right and went immediately to the clearance racks…and the rest is history!
