Hello Friends, I hope you are enjoying the last Saturday of 2012
This afternoon it started to snow so it was a perfect day to take down the tree and remove decorations in preparation of having a clean house the first day of 2013. Along with having a clean house, frying chicken wings, cooking collard greens and black eyed peas has been my New Years’ Eve tradition for many years. Long gone are the days of hanging out at the clubs and popping Champagne bottles at midnight. At midnight we are on our knees in prayer, then we eat and continue watching The Twilight Zone Marathon, my favorite episode is “Time Enough At Last” with Burgess Meredith.
Today I am wearing a handmade, fully lined, African mud cloth cape that my husband had made for me over 16 years ago. I don’t wear it often but it hangs prominently in my coat closet and I’ll keep it forever. It’s a one of a kind cape made by Nzinga Debrick, a friend of my husbands who owns Nzinga’s Cultural Connection a boutique in Wilmington. The cape is trimmed in leather including the button hooks and the attached scarf matches the trim around the buttons and pockets.
Black Jeans and boots – closet staples
The animal print cap belonged to my grandmother and I paired it with the cape to keep my head dry
Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope your day is proceeding according to plans.
Today we are experiencing more unseasonably warm weather but the temps are expected to plummet tonight with a cold blast of winter winds. This weekend I’ll sort through my “bin o sweaters” to determine which ones I’ll kept and which ones to donate. I am not looking forward to the cold weather ahead but it’s the price we pay for living on the east coast.
Sweater – from the bin // Skirt – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Jessica Simpson Peep Toe Pumps – Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop // Necklace – Rugged Wearhouse // Ring – Jewelrymax.net

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay, Black Friday! I hope you all had a good day and if you were out shopping for deals you found some great ones! I started my day early but didn’t get out of the house until almost noon. I went to Goodwill for a little thrifting and tomorrow all clothing is 50% off so I’ll definitely be going back. This evening I attended a Home Purse Party with a friend and purchased a nice designer inspired Michael Kors bag.
I wore my black jeans and jacket today for Black Friday but changed my top, boots and bag for the Purse Party.
Have a wonderful night – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
I don’t know about you but I feel drained and exhausted – events leading up to and the final day of 2012 Election really wore me out – thank God it’s over!!!! It was especially nice driving to work this morning without seeing the negative anti-Obama signs and billboards. I hope they got their money’s worth because I never saw it from the Dems and we were victorious.
Last week my youngest son cleaned out his closet and gave me clothes that he no longer wanted to be donated. This black and beige argyle sweater was a gift to him last year and now I have it back. He definitely won’t be getting any new sweaters from me this year!

Last week I saw a post on the GoodwillDE Facebook page that featured items from their Kirkwood Highway store, I’ve never been to that location and wanted to check it out. So on Friday I rode with Tayair to Newark where he attended a picnic sponsored by The Community Connectors and then I drove to Goodwill (saving gas) to shop. Malik returns to school on the 28th and I found him some new shirts and polos for $5.00 and $6.00 each.
On this trip I was only looking for fall and winter items because Goodwill is now selling their summer items at 50% every Tuesday.
100% Wool Argyle Sweater – $5.00
Short Sleeve Polo Shirts – $3.75 each
Perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness Day at school
Sweater Vest which he likes to show off his muscular arms!! – $1.88
These 2 skirts made great additions to my fall wardrobe and I will wear them with tights and boots when the weather cools. – $6.00 each
This black mock neck sweater was a bit pricey at $8.00, but I liked the silver buckles across the front, I washed it in a lingerie bag on the hand wash cycle it came out perfectly.
These animal print pants was a last minute decision and I’m not sure if I will wear them, but if I do, it will be with a long sweater and boots -$3.75
.
Finally this sleeveless top is a transitional piece that I will wear now and then under a blazer in the fall and winter – $3.75

Love my new beach bags from Avon.
Share your thoughts
When I saw this jacket at Goodwill I knew I had to have it even though it’s a size medium and a bit snug . Initially I thought about pairing it with a pair of pants or jeans but nothing I had seemed right. I was thinking of wearing it over a solid brown dress but then saw this dress hanging next to it screaming, “pick me pick me” and it turned out to be a better choice. Adding the animal print shoes was the icing on the cake , I love this outfit and the weather is definitely conducive to wear it – see how the breeze catches my dress in the first shot.
