Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday. Now before you begin…I know…these tights look horrendous with this outfit! Yes, I did look in the mirror and Yes, I tried on several pairs of shoes before settling on this pair but I walked out of the house like this anyway! Oh well, I’ll chalk it up to a “never wear this combo again” hmmm, maybe should have worn flesh tone hose instead…
Dress – Ross // Blazer – Goodwill // Fioni Shoes – Payless // Purse – Miche

Hello friends and Happy Monday. Today we celebrate Veterans Day and I salute all active and inactive members of the armed forces as well as remembering those who are no longer with us.
THANK YOU!
I have yet to set up the camera on the tripod and use the timer so I don’t have an full picture of today’s outfit. I simply paired a white top and black slacks with a black and white blazer thrifted from Goodwill. I threw on a pair of black leather clogs which never go out of style and are comfortable any time of the year.

Hello friends and Happy Sunday – be blessed today and always!
What a beautiful day, it’s amazing how good you feel when sunshine bathes your face especially after a long week! I hadn’t been to church in over a month so I was up bright and early this morning even with another dull headache.
Today’s outfit is totally thrifted, sleeveless LBD and Houndstooth blazer from Goodwill and Carlos Santana leather pumps from the Salvation Army.
Happy Veteran’s Day and have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!

Hello friends and happy Saturday. Yesterday I left work early because I got really ill after eating a sample of pasta salad from Primo Hoagies. My head was spinning so badly that I didn’t think I would make it home. I did however, with a lot of prayer and by keeping my head steady and firmly pressed against the head rest. Because I rarely if ever get sick I always think the worst, this time a brain tumor or aneurysm came to mind – I know! I feel better but still have a dull headache which doesn’t seem to want to go away even with several Alleve capsules.
This morning I had my annual eye appointment and chose to have the full comprehensive Optomap and refraction exam to rule out any constricted blood vessels or major changes to my vision. Everything was normal and although I still have to wear glasses my vision got better, not worse. I took over 30 minutes, tried on more than 12 pairs looking for just the right frame to ensure I would wear the glasses as prescribed.
After leaving Halpern Eye Care I drove to Family Dollar for cleaning and beauty supplies. I got the normal items, PineSol, Gain detergent, cotton balls, tooth brushes and tooth paste but what caught my eye were the 3 displays perched high above the other beauty supplies – Sally Hansen, Kiss and Fingr’s nail decals. The Kiss and Fingr’s nail decals were clearly marked $3., but there wasn’t a price listed on the Sally Hansen products. Having bought Salon effects from both Walmart and Walgreens they are normally priced $8.50, so thinking they were at least that price I only put one box in my basket. At the register they rang up $5.00 which is a fantastic price, I will now search for coupons for my next purchase at Family Dollar.
Have a fantabulous night – Smooches!

My son, leaving for the Homecoming dance at Appoquinimink High School. He chose to wear a white bow tie with a striped sweater vest. His style is unique and his own which makes me very proud of him.

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
I don’t know about you but I feel drained and exhausted – events leading up to and the final day of 2012 Election really wore me out – thank God it’s over!!!! It was especially nice driving to work this morning without seeing the negative anti-Obama signs and billboards. I hope they got their money’s worth because I never saw it from the Dems and we were victorious.
Last week my youngest son cleaned out his closet and gave me clothes that he no longer wanted to be donated. This black and beige argyle sweater was a gift to him last year and now I have it back. He definitely won’t be getting any new sweaters from me this year!

Hello friends and Happy Thursday! Yesterday’s snow in our area wasn’t bad so the commute home was stress free with light traffic. Today, “Friday Eve”, I am really looking forward to the weekend because I have several inside and outside chores that will have my undivided attention. If you follow me on Instagram (ablake48), this is the skirt that was thrifted from Goodwill on Saturday. Initially I wanted to pair it with an oversize tan sweater but instead chose black to feature the matching belt.
Today I am carrying my new Miche’ Lexi-Prima purse with the giraffe print and it is so roomy and jazzy looking. This weekend I will post more about this great purse line because I’ll be hosting an online party for the holidays so stay tuned.
