OOTD – The Big Cut Down
As stated in a previous post, when thrifing I don’t let larger sizes deter me from making a purchase because it can always be altered. This red and white polka dot top was a size 2X that I cut down using another shirt as a guide. I paired it with black and white polka dot capris also thrifted from Goodwill.

After Church Sunday
My men -aka- my body guards attended church with me this morning, although we were 30 minutes late we made it. I didn’t have time for any before pics but I did manage to snap this one pic of Malik dodging the camera – he hates having his picture taken!
Does he think he’s on the run from the CIA?
I love how Tayair paired horizontal with vertical stripes.
Saturday Night – Date Night
Last night hubby and I attended a birthday party for one of his fraternity brothers (Omega Psi Phi) in Wilmington. The party was held at a small club in town and it was almost like a mini Delaware State College reunion. A Kappa Alpha Psi party was also going on downstairs and I saw a few brothers that I knew from college. The catered food was excellent and the crowd was warm, however, we left earlier than midnight because I wanted to go to church in the morning.
The dress was purchased on clearance from Macy’s last August but I never wore it. My husband’s suit, shirt, shoes and suspenders are his normal work attire however, he chose to go without a tie for a more casual look.

Heading to the Flea Market this morning
OOTD
A few weeks ago I wore this dress covered with a sleeveless top which I later unbuttoned to make it a vest. I think the mustard color of the shoes complimented the dress, what do you think?

OOTD – Flats or Heels
FRI-YAY!!!!
I am looking forward to a great weekend, in the morning I plan on going to a new Flea Market in Middletown then hubby and I will be attending an adult birthday party ending with Church on Sunday.
Today the Lord has blessed us with yet another beautiful Spring day but I couldn’t decide on whether to wear flats or heels for casual Friday, I ended up wearing the heels. The orange steilmann jeans are the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn, I recently purchased them from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop for $9.00!
