Wild Wednesday – OOTD

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

This evening I will be teaching another FREE blogging class sponsored by The Money School of Delaware.  “Small Business Blogging” will be held at the Bear Public Library beginning at 6:30 pm, and I hope to see a few of my Delawarean followers.

I was going through some of my unpublished pictures from the summer and came across this outfit which I am tagging “Wild Wednesday“.  I love wearing animal prints, and I have shoes, scarves, sweaters, pants and purses in both Leopard and Zebra but Leopard has always been my favorite.

How about you, do you have a favorite “wild” animal print?

I can’t remember where I purchased this asymmetrical top but most likely it was at either at Marshalls, Ross or TJ Maxx.

 I do however, remember getting these sandals from Ross.

8 29 13 009 When not wearing a skirt or dress I prefer wearing my Gauchos and you know that I’ve had these for awhile, do they even sell them anymore?

 What do you think – does this sleeveless top remind you of The Flintstones?

Back to School Shopping

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

My youngest will be entering High School as a Senior which means no more standing at the bus stop in the rain…he drives, and no more back to school shopping…he wouldn’t be caught dead shopping with his mother…besides he has his own Debit Card.

His last year in High School is bittersweet but it doesn’t mean I can’t go “Back to School Shopping” and take advantage of the end of the season sales.

I may not be doing this…

back to school 2

But I can do this…

back to school

Which is what I did at TJ Maxx and Burlington Coat Factory!

Leaving TJ Maxx I saw Barbie, a true fashionista, whose skirt and top were purchased at Nzinga’s Boutique.  A perfect outfit to wear out and about running errands or shopping (s/o to Steve aka Ken – lol)

Next year we will be paying College tuition so there will be no more Back to School Shopping for me, also bittersweet!

Have you done any Back to School shopping or taken advantage of the end of season sales?

OOTD – Glori-ous Day

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

Today would have been my sister’s 50th birthday and as kids I would call her “Glori” , so what could have been a gloomy day turned out to be a Glori-ous one, my Angel still shines brightly – Rest In Heaven Glori!

It took a little longer to get dressed this morning because I’m still not wearing heels and the weather forecast called for temps in the 80’s .  As much as I wanted to break out the summer gear I held back.  Decided on this thrifted polka dot skirt from GW Boutique, red sleeveless top from Ross or TJ Maxx/Marshalls and Red Stripped Wedge shoes from Avon.

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 – Throwback Thursday

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!


OOTD – TGIT!

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday – which is officially my Friday at least as far as work is concerned.  After today I will have the next 3 days off from work, no 3 hour daily commuting in rush hour traffic until Monday the 9th – oh happy day!

I plan on spending most of my staycation lounging poolside eating, drinking, and reading.  I’ll throw in a little housework, movie watching and napping to round things out – lol.

I hope you and yours have a fun-filled and safe 4th.
