Back to Basics – WIWW
I have decided to get back to the foundation of my blog DeDivahDeals ~ Fashion and Fun after Fifty and will be posting more outfit’s of the day (#OOTD) These posts won’t be long in commentary so SEO will be low.
Most of the outfits featured will probably be ones that you have seen before with a little twist. However, since I have cut back on shopping and Goodwill thrifting I will only be featuring closet staples.
As women we all have preconceived notions when it comes to what’s a good fit for our body type. For example, I always felt uncomfortable about purchasing “body con” type skirts. But I fell in love with this mint green and polka dot skirt from The Rainbow Shops and took a chance on buying it.
Had I known that it didn’t look as bad on me as I had thought, I would have purchased another one in fuchsia. Unfortunately, I had waited too late in the season so when I finally went back there weren’t any left in my size.
The black peplum top was purchased from JC Penney when they had a store in the Exton Square Mall. Since they are no longer there it gives me yet another reason to stay out of the mall! #bloggers4jcpenney
This gorgeous two-tone purse is from Avon (Mark) and I love the mint accent on the side which makes it a perfect accent for the outfit.
The patent leather slides are Jessica Simpson brand from Marshalls, also purchased several years ago. The ring is Avon and the multi-color rhinestone bracelet with hints of mint was probably picked up from Burlington Coat Factory.
Believe it or not, the statement necklace is a flea market find that I colored with nail polish!
I love a good jewelry DIY especially when it involves stones and paint or in this case polish.
Is there a particular item of clothing that you feel doesn’t flatter your figure?
Great look. The colors all coordinate so well!
Thank you trying to get back to the basics of my blog and you have been part of my inspiration in doing so. Love you outfit posts.
Love the mint on you and you look ready to conquer. I do not wear anything above the calf because of ugly varicose veins. Enjoy your week Sis.
Thank sis, I understand completely, however, you always look great in your outfits!
Your outfit and accessories are pretty- pretty. I love the skirt, by the way.
Thank you, I hope all is well on your side of the world!
This skirt is adorable and I love the peplum top with it! You have beautiful skin. Thanks so much for linking up with Ageless Style!

so beautiful your look
Thank you, that is definitely appreciated!
oh welcome

Such a cute skirt. I tend to shy away from body con/pencil skirts because I have a middle but I love them on other ladies. That mint color is all kinds of fabulous on you.
Thank you sis, and that is exactly why I chose to wear the peplum top to hide the tummy!
Mint green and aqua….my two fav colors for summer! You are looking MAR-VE-LOUS!
Thank you lovely lady – mint is definitely one of my favorite pastel colors especially in the summer!
Girl I just love that outfit on you! I love those colors together. That purse from Avon is smoking! I just got brave my friend and got Periscope. Now I know you have it but I can’t find you!!!! I want to follow you ,,, you know I do! So let me know what it is!
oh snap, I haven’t done a scope in a minute but my Twitter id is ambde – I have to check you out!!!
Outfit looks wonderful. I always thought that the Rainbow Shops were for the “younger” crowd; I have never been in one myself. You may have just changed my mind. Like you, I too have taken a hiatus from shopping.
No they have a great selection for us older folks – lol – especially their shoes!
