What I Wore Last Week

Well, the summer is almost over and soon it will be time to put away the short sleeves and pull out the sweaters and blazers.  But before the first leaf turns, and the autumn winds begin I have to get in the last of my summer work wear wardrobe worn.

For the rest of this short work week I will be featuring “What I Wore Last Week” outfits. These posts will be short on commentary but long on pictures so bear with me until next week when I will post articles with more subsistence!

Here we go….

accessories from Burlington Coat Factory

You know that I will wear white before Memorial Day so I will definitely wear white after Labor Day and I love this thrifted white skirt from Goodwill because it has a unique silver embroidery pattern through out.

Floral shoes from Payless

I chose to pair it with a fuchsia form fitting top and floral shoes from Payless and the pink and purple purse was purchased from Burlington Coat Factory.  Hubby bought me this ankle bracelet over ten years ago, it used to be engraved with the boy’s name, but they have since worn away.

The other accessories include a multi-color bracelet and pink stone ring which I believe were also purchased from Burlington Coat Factory and the watch is Avon.

How do you feel about women over the age of 50 wearing ankle bracelets and toe rings?

Wearing White is Alright After Labor Day

Wearing White is Alright After Labor Day!

Would you wear white after Labor Day?   I did and so should you! Just like being sleeveless after fifty, you can also wear white after Labor Day because it is no longer considered a fashion faux pas.

On a warm end of the summer casual Friday, I wore my favorite white pants for only the second time in the season.  Not only was I cool, comfy and casual, I didn’t spill a thing on them and you know that I am afraid to wear white – remember this post?

So what about you, have you worn white after Labor Day?


Afraid to wear white!

Afraid to wear white!

Some of you know from previous posts that I am afraid to wear all white..why…because it brings out the kid in me.  You know that kid who inevitably and by the end of day has spilled something on themselves while wearing an all white outfit. Plus it reminds me of when my sister, cousins and I got Baptized at Gospel Tabernacle Church in the 70’s!

Anywho, I finally went through all of my closets and dresser drawers earlier this summer and got rid of a lot of clothes that were either too small or I hadn’t worn in years. I sold most of them for $1.00 a piece at my Yard Sales and the rest I donated to Goodwill and the Boys and Girls Club.

A pair of white linen pants are a summer wardrobe staple, but unless you want to look like a wrinkled mess in a few hours, I suggest you wear them when you’re not traveling in a car or plane for hours.

Because I love the black and white combination and polka dots are my favorite I chose to pair them with a sleeveless tank and black strap sandals.

The polka dot purse was a great find at Family Dollar, and like I said before, “don’t sleep on the Dollar Stores” especially when it comes to accessories.

When you just need to grab a purse and go on a casual Friday or weekend, this bag works.

Do you have a fear of wearing white or am I the only one?
