Totally Thrifted Tuesday | OOTD May 27, 2014

Hello Friends, I trust you all had a happy and safe holiday weekend! I am back to work after being off since Thursday and needless to say it is tough getting back into the routine. This outfit is what I wore last Tuesday and with the exception of the jewelry it is Totally Thrifted.

You might remember when I purchased this embroidered skirt and sleeveless tank last winter at Goodwill. It was during one of the many shopping trips I made looking for outfits for the 2014 Goodwill Runway Show. One of the things I like most about thrifting is you can oftentimes find items that are out of season knowing that they are right for when the weather changes. It was the dead of winter cold but I knew this skirt and tank would be perfect for work once the weather warmed.

These Jessica Simpson animal print, peep-toe shoes are one of my favorite pieces from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop.

In selecting the accessories, I decided to mix plastic bracelets with pearl necklaces and earrings. The goldtone watch is from Avon.

The floral embroidery on the skirt matches the patio cushions and umbrella from Home Depot. Speaking of which, did you have a nice Memorial Day weekend? What did you do? On Saturday, we had a graduation party for Malik and it was a blast, I’ll post more on about it on Thankful Thursday.

I think I’ll head over to see the ladies at Personal Style Linkup, Thrifters Anonymous and Lou Lou Girls. Have a wonderful day and we’ll chat tomorrow.

Palazzo Pants | Popular or Played Out? May 6, 2014

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

Last week after reading a post on the Fabulous after Forty blog, Palazzo Pants – How to Wear Them with Pizazz, I wondered if they are still a popular style for women over 50, because they certainly are for me.

I have several but this particular pair was purchased a few years ago from Ross and are great to wear to work on Casual Fridays.

I remember wearing wide-leg or “elephant” leg pants with platform shoes back in elementary school in the 70’s. I also remember almost falling and breaking my neck walking along a stone wall after my shoe got caught inside that big a$$ pant leg!

Now here I am over 40 years later wearing almost the same style, thankfully the legs aren’t as wide but my question is, “are Palazzo pants still popular or have they played out?”

I’ve worn these pants in previous OOTD posts, but this is the first time they are paired with this thrifted top from Goodwill.

The watch and ring/bracelet are Mark/Avon.

The cut-out sandals are also from Avon, they have really stepped up their shoe game over the years.

So what do you think, are Palazzo Pants still popular or are they Played Out?

This month I’m hanging out with the BloggyMoms and Personal Style Linkup with Whitney – come on over and join in on the fun!
