Hello friends and Happy Tuesday before Thanksgiving
Yesterday, after work I met with two representatives from The Money School of Delaware. They had read my post, “From Purses to Portfolios” and were so impressed that they offered me an opportunity to create their blog as well as host various training webinars. Attending events and writing about women’s issues mixed with the fashion and savings was exactly where I wanted to take this blog. Now that this has come to fruition so quickly I want to thank God for I am truly blessed and look forward to working with some great people at The Money School.
I will keep you posted as to when it goes live because it will be separate from my dedivahdeals blog.

Hello friends and Happy Monday before Thanksgiving 2012!
Weekends seem to fly by and this one was no exception especially since I spent most of yesterday washing and pressing all of my thrifted Goodwill goodies. Sometimes I wonder how a silk blouse or cute skirt could have been donated but then I think about all the items I’ve donated over the years and say, “yep, it was too small, too big or my closet is just too full!”
I simply adore these shoes and am amazed that I found them in blue as well – jackpot!
Black skirt was previously thrifted from Goodwill in Exton, PA and the belt was purchased back in the ’80’s

Let the countdown begin!

Hello friends and Happy Sunday I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are anxiously looking forward to next week. This year we are not having a big Thanksgiving dinner because my son has to work and my mother-in- law is hospitalized battling intestinal cancer.
I ask that you keep her in your thoughts and prayers during this time, thank you.
Although we are not having a big Thanksgiving dinner I still needed to grocery shop and today it wasn’t a chore. I did however, feel sorry for some running around quickly filling their carts like crazy spending way too much!
My casual attire along with my casual attitude allowed me to better compare prices, use a lot of coupons and save a little money.

Hello friends, I hope you had a great day and are now either relaxing or busily preparing for Thanksgiving dinner. Last Saturday while in Dover we stopped in at Citi Trends where they had some cute and unique holiday stocking stuffers for all ages. Black Friday the store will open at 7:00 am with advertised specials for $7.99. I will not be out shopping but if you plan on being out and about please be safe and have lots of fun.
I bought these purple jeans – wore them today
Can’t decide, there’s always a gift card.
Happy Shopping – Smooches!

Hello friends and happy Saturday night, I am posting Part 2 of my Goodwill Goodies from Smyrna. Last month while shopping my closet I realized that I was in need of long sleeve blouses to wear under blazers. Today I thrifted mostly dark colors but next week I will be back hunting for more colorful ones because on Saturday all clothing will be 50% off – Woohoo!
All these items were $3.75 each
– Croft & Barrow zebra print top
– no tag top
– CATO animal print skirt (new with tags)
– Fred David beige/black blouse
– Jessica Holbrook 100% silk blouse
– Cosi Crest Collection (men’s) shirt
– Dress Barn light green suede shirt
Finally found a white blouse, Pendleton
These Karen Scott Oxblood suede shoes were $4.00
This location always has a wide variety of shoes, these caught my attention but weren’t my size.
To clean and disinfect thrifted shoes I use Clorox and disinfecting spray inside, outside and on the soles.
It was a good day!

Hello friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you had a great day and are winding down to a relaxing evening. I finally broke my “thrifting fast” and went to Goodwill in Dover and Smyrna in search of a few blouses and skirts. On the top of my list were a white blouse, a houndstooth skirt and anything colored oxblood – JACKPOT I found them all and then some!
All of these items were $3.75 a piece except the shoes which were $6.00 a pair
– Worthington Gold tone blouse
– Alfred Dunner blue/black animal print shirt
– Talbots multi color striped top
– apt9 Oxblood blouse
– Talbots Houndstooth skirt
– Style & Co silk polka dot blouse
– Dressbarn black suede skirt
– Romantic Souls pumps
They had some other nice looking shoes, unfortunately they didn’t fit well.
I love these shopping baskets on wheels at the Goodwill in Dover, the store where my sister last worked and I could only smile thinking about her. RIP Gloria!
My next post will feature the items thrifted from Goodwill in Smyrna.
Have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy FRI-YAY!!
I love this time of the year, the autumn colors are so vibrant and the air is crisp and clean ~ “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”. Here we are, one week before the infamous “Black Friday” shopping frenzy, though some stores are opening on Thursday now being labeled as “Black Thursday”. Will you be out shopping or standing in long lines waiting for the latest gadget or gizmo? I’ve never done it but really want that $99.00 camera deal being advertised by Target – aah I can wait.
Today is casual Friday so I decided to wear a khaki skirt with a sweater and booties.
Attention Booties – Kmart // Khaki Skirt – Goodwill // Khaki Creme Striped Top – Kmart
The beauty of autumn colors is breath taking!

Hello friends, I hope your day was stress free and you are now home relaxing comfortably in anticipation of next week’s madness! I do not shop on “Black Friday” but I do like to look for bargains the week before Thanksgiving. Today I stopped in at Kmart in Exton, PA and found several bins containing the summer line of various cosmetics, including Milani and Wet n Wild. I’ve never used Milani but have heard good things from YouTube Vloggers so for the price I decided to pick up a few products.
Milani Lip Sticks were $2.50, purchased Creamy Cocoa, Fushia Freeze and Orange Gina.
Milani Lip Glosses were $2.00
Milani Eyeshadows were $3.00, purchased Fusion, Intermix and Drench in Gold
Milani Nail Art was $2.00, purchased Art of Gold
Wet n Wild Bronzer was $1.49, purchased Princess 741A
Wet n Wild Foundation/Primer was $2.99, purchased Medium
I saved a few dollars and added to my cosmetic collection which is always a good thing.
Have a great night – Smooches
