What I Wore Last Week – Part 3

Summer Wear For Women Over The Age Of Fifty

No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn’t wear all my summer dresses, skirts, tops, tanks, shorts, shoes or sandals this season, which only means one thing – it’s time for a major purge!

Last Saturday I had a Yard Sale which was a bust, perhaps it was the weather or the holiday but I ended up donating over 10 boxes of clothing and household items to Goodwill.

My weight fluctuated this summer and went down 14 lbs thanks to the Medifast Program, however, I still haven’t reached my targeted weight goal.  Fortunately, Sheath Dresses are very flattering so they will always be a part of my wardrobe.

This is one of my favorite sleeveless Sheath dresses and I have always wanted to find and thank the woman who donated it to Goodwill!

If your weight fluctuates due to menopause or other health issues, Goodwill and consignment shops are perfect places to find clothing on the cheap.  During the month of September, clothing is only $2 on Tuesday at Goodwill in Delaware and Delaware County which will save you even more.

yellow wedge shoes

These were the yellow wedge shoes from Avon which I had worn with the dress in yesterday’s post.  If you look closely at my leg, you will see the beginning of a poison ivy outbreak which is in it’s 2nd week!

This is also the yellow purse from Avon which I wore with the dress in that post.

what to wear in the summer

Tomorrow I am going to go through all my closets and pack up any clothes and shoes that I did not wear this summer – no exceptions!  accessories sold at Avon

However, I will keep sleeveless tanks like these as I can always transition them to the fall with a sweater or blazer.  There’s that yellow purse again!

Wearing Walmart

The sleeveless tank was also thrifted from Goodwill and the skirt and statement necklace was purchased from Walmart.

The black sandals turned out to be my summer favorites and who would have thought that I could have found them at Sears!   Well time to get into that closet and get rid of anything not worn this or last season and next week we will kick off the outfits with maxi skirts and dresses.

What I Wore Last Week – Part 2

Happy Thankful Thursday!

I’m back with another work wear OOTD and this time it’s my second favorite color combination – black and yellow or as I like to call it my “Bumble Bee” combination.

I think I may have posted this dress before, but since I liked it so much I decided to give it another a second post.  However, this time I chose to wear my black sandals from Sears as opposed to the yellow wedge sandals that I wore from Avon.

dressing for less from Ross

The purse however, is from Avon and the necklace was a gift that I received from the crew in California from the Depend Commercial Photo Shoot.  Do you remember that post?  If not, relive it here!  The bangle bracelets were purchased from Burlington which I wore to the Wilmington White Party.

I love this dress from Ross and might have to check back to see if they have it in another color – I think it would be great in green, what do you think?

Well tomorrow is the last day of posts from this week’s “What I Wore Last Week” and it will actually be a two-fer.

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?

Slow Cooked Turkey Cacciatore
