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!

OOTD – Bright Orange Sunshiny Day

Orange is one of  my favorite colors because it can be worn any time any season.  I love the brightness of this thrifted J. Crew top paired with the asymmetrical brown and beige skirt especially on such a warm and bright day.

Easy Breezy Meal with Kraft Fresh Take

Driving home thinking of what to fix for dinner using ground chicken other than making chili, I decided on mini meat loafs.  I had the Kraft Fresh Take in the refrigerator and had never tried it before so this was a first.  Using the ground chicken, an egg and the Fresh Take mix dinner was easy, breezy and my men loved it.  (I sneaked a bite after eating my Nutrisystem meal).

Goodwill Deals of the Week – High School Preppy

With only 3 weeks of school remaining my son is still telling me about events or special things happening at school.  Trust me, I love the fact that my high school son still wants to share this part of his life with me, but why is it always last minute?  Anywho, he tells me that he and his buddies have decided that the next 3 Wednesdays will be “Preppy Days” .  I  remember those days, we wore IZOD polo shirts with alligators on the chest, khaki pants, boat shoes, etc.  My son has jeans, sweats and dress pants so yesterday I had to hit up the Goodwill in Exton, PA.

I got him 3 pairs of dockers and a pair of Banana Republic dress pants, with the price tag still attached ($98.00) for $3.75.  I washed the dockers and threw the dress pants in the bag slated for the cleaners.  Of course I also found myself a few things and hubby gave me his waist size just in case I came across more new slacks in his size….gotta love it, it gives me more of a reason to visit the Goodwill stores because it’s like a treasure hunt!

OOTD – Grazin' in the Grass

With all the rain this month the grass was saturated and my shoes and toes got a little wet, but fortunately they dried before I got to work.  I recently purchased this dress from Goodwill because I liked the criss-cross back and the shoes match it perfectly.  I love the colors of Spring.
