Saving my Suede in the Snow
Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world. Ole’ Man Winter made an appearance earlier this month and dumped a few inches of snow across the Mid-Atlantic area. I used to love watching the snow fall, but now I hate it, driving in it is the worse…it took me over 3 hours to get to work! I was exhausted by the time I got there and I envy folks who can telecommute…unfortunately I’m not one of them.
Most of you know that I really don’t like wearing pants to work, so in order to keep warm on extremely cold and snowy days, I’ll wear tights and a pair of my suede boots. However, not getting them wet is nearly impossible so each season I make sure to spray them with a leather and suede protector.
This brand was purchased at Payless and it does have a strong odor, so make sure to use it in the garage or outdoors weather permitting. Now I can step deep into the snow or pose on the deck without worrying about messing up my boots.

Hello friends, and welcome to the end of the season’s “You Choose The Shoes”. This weekend I have plans to clean out my closets, so if I find enough Fall contenders I may bring this feature back next month.
Again, I want to thank all of you for voting and leaving some really cool comments, it was fun and I hope you enjoyed it as well.
Now, let’s start with last week’s winner, the votes were overwhelming in favor of the Snakeskin Pumps from Target!
Similar to last week’s styles, you are voting Leopard against a Plain pair of pumps or Payless -vs- The Salvation Army #dressforless.
If it gets them more votes, I’ll tell ya that with the plain pumps the outfit is “totally thrifted”, but I don’t want to stuff the box – lol
Remember when I told you that Payless had stepped up their game by adding more ‘designer’ shoes, well this is a pair of their Christian Siriano from last season.
I love this thrifted dress from Goodwill paired with the purse from Avon.
So what do you think, can a Leopard work with stripes?
Or should there be less competition with a pair of plain beige pumps?
Have you made a decision – which one will you choose?
Take one last look then leave a comment below.
When you get a chance, head over to Robin Charmagne’s Blog to check out some of her great features.

Hello friends,
Welcome to week 18 of “You Choose the Shoes”. I am happy to report that the denim shoes finally won NOT! Believe it or not, it was almost a tie but Ms. Elle squeaked ahead at the last minute.
Thank you all for voting and especially for making me feel good with those “you looked so young comments”!
It seems like denim just can’t win em! I know these heels were nice but must agree that they were a bit much with the denim maxi dress. I did however, get suggestions on what to wear with them…so here is one way, what do you think?
Now onto this week’s contenders who are vying to be the chosen one for this colorful maxi dress.
Both lend a little Island flare for the end of the summer. First choice are the Montego Bay slides from Payless versus Charlotte Russe slides or as I like to call them “lady in red”.
I love wearing slides with maxi dresses, because they are so comfy to slip on and easy to kick off under my desk or while driving the car.
Do you think the Montego Bay stripes are a bit too much and clash with all the colors in the dress?
How about the red Charlotte Russe? Is it just enough of one color to pull in the red from the top as not to be overpowered by the other colors in the dress – what do you think?
which will it be, the lady in red?
OR
Montego Bay Stripes
Before you choose, take a look at them solo:

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.
Thank you for voting and for all of your comments in last week’s You Choose The Shoes contest. I hope you are having as much fun as I am with this mid-week blog feature. There were many comments and suggestions but the overwhelming majority chose the UrbanOg sandals.
This week’s contenders includes a recently purchased pair of sandals from Payless versus the Paula Abdul Forever collection from Avon.
The fuchsia sandals are by far my favorite pair of the season, I am so glad that I decided to stop in at Payless during a recent sale at the Exton Square Mall. Not that I don’t love these black and white sandals from Avon because they are great to wear with different outfits and are my go-to shoes for church.
If I am not mistaken, this faux wrap dress was purchased at JC Penney and the colors work well with both pair of sandals, what do you think? I am very upset that JC Penney was shut down at the Exton Square Mall as they had some great clearance bargains.
It was such a bright sunny Sunday that it was hard to keep from squinting, so concentrate on the shoes instead of my eyes!
So which shoes do you choose?
Have you decided – take another look.
Can’t wait to see which pair you chose, have a wonderful day!
Leave your comments below and I’ll respond when I get back from The Pleated Poppy.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
This week’s “You Choose The Shoes” may be a little bit more difficult because the shoes are similar in pattern and style, however, there can be only be one winner so I am really counting on you for this one.
Oh wait a minute, before we begin, here is the winner from last week’s challenge:
Thank you all for participating.
Okay, this week’s challenge is between Payless -vs- Ross
Because the dress is a simple purple sheath purchased from JCPenney, I knew it needed to be punched up with pops of color, so I added this necklace from Avon/Mark – what do you think?
Last season I wanted these pumps so badly that I drove to two Payless stores to get them. Thankfully, the Exton store called others and they found a pair in my size at the Concord Mall which is on my way home.
Okay, which ones do you choose?
You can see they are similar in color and pattern, but the heels on the Payless shoes are pink and the ones from Ross are gray. Can’t decide, take one more look then send me your choice.

Ross
BTW, hubby is now my photographer, which is why I may be smiling more. At first he made me nervous because he would give me these looks when I’d say, “nope, not right, let’s do it again“. However, I do think that he is enjoying himself but I have to watch him, otherwise, he’s focusing the camera on other parts of my body if you know what I mean!
I’m heading over to visit The Pleated Poppy for WIWW!

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Today is actually my Friday as I will officially be on vacation starting at 5:00 p.m. today until next Tuesday- que up the Flintstone’s theme song – YabbaDabbaDoo!!! I can’t believe it’s the Memorial Day Weekend already, seems like only yesterday it was Easter. I guess it’s true what they say, the older you get the faster time passes. Oh and before I have another senior moment – Congratulations to all the parents of the Class of 2013, you did an excellent job and should be very proud of yourself!
Today’s outfit is a floral dress thrifted from GW Boutique and sandals from Payless, which by the way is having a major sale, and don’t forget to show your AAA Card for an additional 10% off.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.
Hubby’s day was nice and I want to thank you for all the birthday well wishes. I didn’t get the Walgreen’s Gift Card but did cook a wonderful meal, we had baked salmon, stuffed clams, steamed potatoes and coleslaw, dessert was a Lemon Meringue Pie which is his favorite.
I had hoped for warmer weather to wear this sleeveless BisouBisou Peplum top, but it’s a rainy drab day so I added a lightweight cardigan.

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
My normal daily commute into work is 90-minutes, but throw in a gapper delay or a car accident and it can easily turn into 2 hours which was the case this morning. My ultimate fantasy is to have one of those space cars that George Jetson drove…remember that 1960’s cartoon, The Jetsons?
Life is so unpredictable and I was granted traveling mercies for which I am blessed and truly thankful!
The weather has warmed up nicely and today is a beautiful Spring day.
