OOTD & Wordless Wednesday-NOT!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.  This morning I had an hour long conversation with a cousin that I met only once, 12 years ago at my father’s funeral.  We talked and laughed as if we had spoken just last week.  Our conversation was enjoyable and we both learned a little more about each other and our families.  These days it seems as though personal letter writing or conversing on a LAN line has been replaced with texting, instant messaging, tweeting or facebooking.  We need to connect on a more personal level with family and friends especially as time marches on and our lives shorten.  Today I vow to call her more often as well as having live conversations with other family members and friends.

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.

OOTD – Back To School

Today was the first day of school for al-Malik and needless to say, he was not excited about boarding that bus this morning….kept whining something about wanting a car….in his dreams and my nightmares!!!  Time sure does fly, after today I only have 1 more chance to get that “first day of school” picture, then he’s off to college!!!  Where does the time go…I miss my babies 🙁

Hubby started back to school yesterday, he’s a Student Advisor in a Middle School.  When I got home and asked how his day was, he was like…”oooh you know how it hard it is going back….” NOPE…cause I don’t get 3 months off in the summer buddy!!!!  I have a house of whiners!!!!

OOTD – Autumn Colors

Good Morning, I hope everyone is having a great day. Can you feel that Autumn is right around the corner? This morning I turned off the AC and opened up the kitchen windows allowing in some fresh air. Once the weather cools I will be able to transition this dress by adding a cardigan or blazer.

OOTD – Change of the Shoes

This morning I was all dressed and ready to go and it wasn’t until I got into the car that I realized that there was no black in my dress, or at least it didn’t look like it without my glasses! Needless to say, my son was none to happy to take additional pictures because he was already immersed in his morning sports show. I know the new rule of fashion is not to be too matchy matchy but I had to change my shoes especially since I wore them earlier this week. Take a look and let me know which shoes looks better with the dress that I now see has black in it – I am really not a morning person!!!!

OOTD – Happy Monday

Happy Monday, I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable weekend. Hubby and I went to dinner at the Chesapeake Inn in Maryland to celebrate our 22nd Wedding Anniversary. The meal was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant so we had a  nice evening as an old married couple sans our sons.

Today’s outfit is autumn-like in it’s coloring yet summer-like in it’s fabric and comfortable enough for today’s 87 degree weather.  The Octavia Thai Silk open-toe-pumps were on clearance for $12.97, and on the RocketDog website, they are listed for $59.95!
