OOTD – Before and After Church

Hello Friends and Happy Sunny Sunday

This morning’s church service was blessed with a sermon by a visiting minister from Wilmington, and visiting guests from a small neighboring church in Middletown.  A great way to start off the week and I am looking forward to an even more blessed work week, I hope it’s the same for you!

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?

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.

OOTD – Avalanche Attire

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay!!

Our local forecast was way off, we only got a few flakes early this morning and now the sun is shining on this a beautiful crisp Winter’s day. What are your plans for the weekend, will you be doing something fun outdoors? Not me, tomorrow I’ll be stuck inside my closet thanks to a mini avalanche that occurred last night.
Less than a minute after hanging up a shirt the top rack came crashing down taking down the one beneath it as well. Thankfully I had just stepped back otherwise I could have been hit in the head with falling purses! (don’t laugh, it was a hard hat zone!)  I could only just look up and stare, hubby said, “you have too many clothes” – bite your tongue man!  He offered to re-do my closet with sturdier material so tonight off to Lowes we go. I wish my closet looked like his…..

and not like this!!!!

Today’s outfit was born out of the chaos in my closet. The scarf which was hidden on a shelf along with the boy’s baby blankets and box of teeth – (what do you do with baby teeth?) was the palette.  Most of my shoes are covered underneath all those shirts so I am wearing a pair of the loafers I just bought from Target.  They were still in the spare bedroom and had never made it into the closet along with these purple jeans.

All in all I think I made the chaos work for this casual Friday – what do you think?

OOTD – Thrifted Tops Tuesday

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

Being the sleepy head that I am, getting up every week day at 6 am definitely does not give me a thrill.  However, once I’m up and moving the situation greatly improves especially when I see God’s Glory.   Waking up to a beautiful day provides the motivation to have a prosperous one and I hope it’s the same for you.

The rays of sunshine across the frost covered grass gave me pause to stop and say, “Thank you God for another beautiful day”!

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 – Black and White Monday

Hello friends and Happy Monday…Tuesday sorry – yesterday’s post was dedicated to my mother-in-law so I didn’t feature an outfit of the day.  Before I begin I want to thank everyone for their comments as well as prayers because I do believe in the power of it!  Yesterday she had a good day and although her body is weak and frail her mind is sharp and active – so keep on praying.

Monday’s outfit was a combo of black and white but I need to use splashes of color, I’ll be looking for some colorful scarves at Goodwill or maybe Plato’s Closet .  I have never gone to a Plato’s Closet although there is one in Exton just a few miles from my job, and there is also one about a mile from The Hospice on Limestone Road, I’ll check one of them.

Again,  thank you so much for praying – have a wonderful evening – Smooches!

OOTD – Monday Minimum

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.
