OOTD – Shopping the Savings @Safeway February 2, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you are having a fun filled day.

It was so nice to wake up to bright sunshine but we are expecting more snow this evening so I did my weekly grocery shopping this morning. Shopped groceries for the week as well as goodies for Superbowl Sunday. Safeway is my favorite store for deals, for example, DiGiorno Pizza is on sale for $3.88 each and can be coupled with a “J4U”, Buy 2 Get 1 Free coupon. Taking advantage of that special and then using a Buy 2 Get 1 Free manufacturer’s coupon I paid .75 cents for two pizzas!

Safeway’s “Just 4U” app allows me to download coupons directly from my Smartphone or IPad onto my card and they offer savings for every $75.00 spent, you get a $10 Rewards Coupon. Safeway is now also offering Gas Rewards to Exxon and Mobile and I have enough points to save .40 cent off per gallon, which is definitely a huge savings for me!

Saving money shopping the sales at Safeway was a great way to start my Saturday – now bring on the snow and GO RAVENS!!!

I didn’t wear these shoes to grocery shop but am continuing my support of the GoRedForWomen Campaign this month.

OOTD- Wearing Red for Women February 1, 2013

This February marks the 10th year of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® movement.

Despite a lot of progress, there’s still a long way to go, because heart disease continues to be the No. 1 killer of women, taking more lives than all kinds of cancer combined.

Show your support by joining a challenge and sharing it with friends and adding your voice to the Go Red movement. Together, we can end heart disease.

This morning we were surprised with a “Snow Burst”, it was beautiful but made for a very dangerous commute, it took me 2.5 hours to get to work! I passed several accidents but made it safely which is all that matters, and this evening we will be celebrating Malik’s 17th birthday!

OOTD – Any Way the Wind Blows January 31, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!

Can you believe it’s the last Thursday of the month, tomorrow is the first day of February. February 1st is also my “baby boy’s” Birthday and he will be 17 – somebody is getting old and it isn’t me!!!!
February, 1996, two days after he was born we were hit with a major snow storm that kept us house bound for almost a month. I hope that doesn’t happen again, the storm of 2010 was more than enough to last a lifetime – remember that one?

No snow storms in the forecast, just bright sunshine and high winds, but not like what tore through some southern states last night – we are truly blessed!

Sweater and Slacks are both closet staples // Blue Suede Booties – The Shoe Dept // Scarf – Target

These blue suede booties are different than the one’s featured here. They were purchased last year from The Shoe Dept, and also came in red which I didn’t get – wish I had because it would have saved me from going to the mall today. By the way, have you been to JC Penney’s lately? If not, GO, they have $1 ~ $3 ~ $5 and $10 clearance racks, I got a red skirt and a pair of capris for $5 each! Their new “one price no sales” marketing campaign didn’t work out so well, and now they are restructuring, so head over for some great bargains. The “housewives of Exton” were racking up on kids clothes on clearance for a dollar which are better deals than Goodwill!

OOTD – Warm Up Wednesday January 30, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

Today it’s warm yet foggy due to the increase in temps making the morning commute a little slow. There were several fender benders on 95N, one of which was almost mine, however, my Guardian Angel shielded me from it making it a near miss.

You may remember when I purchased this outfit from Boscov’s (here), but it’s the first time that I’ve worn it. This evening is my son’s Open House, and depending on traffic I may not have time to change clothes. I wanted to wear something that would be comfortable enough to take me from work to walking the halls of a High School.

What do you think of this “from the office to the halls of high school” attire?

Wearing the green pair of Mossimo embellished flats from Target and necklace from a Flea Market Vendor.

OOTD – Two Times Tuesday and THANK YOU January 29, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

There are only a few traces of yesterday’s snow and according to the meteorologist, Mother Nature will be having a hot flash so all that remains will be melted by Friday. It’s tough for people not to accept the existence of Global Warming especially with all of these varying weather conditions around the world. Al Gore has been speaking out for years, now just maybe people will take him more seriously. Okay, stepping down off the soap box.

Most of you know that I love…love…love…shoes and will be the first to admit that I have too many, but it’s not something new, I have been a shoe lover since High School. I’ve always had to have the latest styles in different colors…pastel pinks…mellow yellow…aqua marine blue….heels…flats…sandals…boots – I loved them all. These days I don’t buy as many as I used to but when I find a bargain, I am on it like a heat seeking missile (remember the Target haul?) Because I have so many I can’t remember ever wearing the same pair two days in a row that was until today, this is the first time. There are two reasons for this, first I am still trying to get my closet in order and secondly, these Granny boots are comfortable and look cute with this outfit!

Boots – Ross // Animal Print Maxi Shirt – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Cowl Neck Shirt – closet staple

Necklace and Earring Set – Jewelrymax.net – Snake and Crocodile Rings – Avon // Belt – Rainbow Shop

Earlier today, I received a nice surprise, I was chosen as this week’s Featured Blogger by Esther on her Frugal Living and More Totally Tuesday Blog Hop!

OOTD – Triple "S" Snow Day January 28, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

I took my car through the car wash yesterday only to wake up to fresh snow this morning. It never seems to fail, the day after you wash your car it rains or in this case snows. Oh well it could be worse, I took my time driving this morning and made it safely to work.

Today’s snow day outfit is another one of the brushed SUEDE pantsuits from the back of the closet, paired with a leopard print SCARF and brown SUEDE boots for an easy breezy triple “S” day.

OOTD – Let It Snow! January 25, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay Fri-Yay Fri-Yay

After a long restless night due to a toothache I awoke to this gift from God!

This is the calm before the storm as Winter is definitely in full force, with snow scheduled to begin falling around 3 p.m. The roads have been brined to cut down on commuter accidents because the temps are also going to drop even lower into the single digits.

As you can see, I am fully prepared and hopefully will leave early enough to stop and pick up a bottle of wine (for me) and Chinese take-out for my men. My plans are to be indoors snug-as-a-bug-in-the-rug until at least Sunday.

These Paisley Skinny Jeans and Infinity Scarf were both on clearance at Target and men’s sweater was thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill). The boots have been in my closet for several years and most likely were purchased from Payless.

Believe it or not, this faux fur vest once was a coat that I DIY’d because it didn’t fit properly. I shorten the length using the excess for a scarf, removed the sleeves and made a pair of leg warmers.

Do you refashion clothing, if so, what have you done and how did it work out?

OOTD – Out of the Closet January 24, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve

How often do you venture into the back of your closet? Are you afraid of going back there…are you afraid of what you might find…or are you just afraid of getting lost never to be seen again? I very rarely look in the back of my closet, not because of it’s size but because that’s where I keep clothes that no longer fit but don’t want to get rid of…as if I’ll ever wear my Wedding Night nightgown again! Unfortunately, included with those items are also others that wish they could see the light of day because they have been forgotten yet still fit.

Thanks to the avalanche in my closet I can now see clear to the back and guess what I saw….pantsuits….lots and lots of pantsuits, which were very popular in the mid-90’s. At one time in Corporate America before there was a “Work From Home” program when you could wear sweats, jeans or pajamas, Casual Friday’s for women meant wearing pantsuits to the office and I had quite a few. The one that I am wearing today was probably kept because of the unique buttons which is it’s best feature otherwise, it’s just a “plain Jane” pantsuit.

I think my son may have been a little upset with me this morning and took it out on my head which in most pics has been chopped.

OOTD – Winter Wednesday January 23, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

Being outside this morning was a little more bearable because of the lack of wind however, the temps are forecast to remain in the teens until at least the weekend. To that end, I would like to say to all of my left coast friends …”STOP COMPLAINING BECAUSE IT’S 40 DEGREES!!!“

I truly don’t mind the cold weather because it allows me to dress in layers and then make adjustments as necessary. For example today I am wearing a sleeveless grey dress covered with a blazer so if I have a “personal summer” I can simply remove the blazer until it passes.

This outfit started with shoes but in the sunshine the tights took on a weird greenish tint so I changed to my OTK, black suede boots.

This black faux fur once belonged to my sister so you know it’s been around since the late 80’s – I really don’t like driving in it because of the bulk.

Dress and Boots- Ross // Blazer – Value City // Shoes and Tights – Kmart // Necklace – Traci Lynn // Ring – Flea Market Vendor // Earrings – Icings // Bracelet – jewelry box

Did you notice anything different about my wardrobe descriptions today?
