Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

The winter weather has hit the Delaware Valley with a fierceness starting last night with snow, and this morning with high winds but I was ready!

OOTD – Avalanche Attire

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay!!

Our local forecast was way off, we only got a few flakes early this morning and now the sun is shining on this a beautiful crisp Winter’s day. What are your plans for the weekend, will you be doing something fun outdoors? Not me, tomorrow I’ll be stuck inside my closet thanks to a mini avalanche that occurred last night.
Less than a minute after hanging up a shirt the top rack came crashing down taking down the one beneath it as well. Thankfully I had just stepped back otherwise I could have been hit in the head with falling purses! (don’t laugh, it was a hard hat zone!)  I could only just look up and stare, hubby said, “you have too many clothes” – bite your tongue man!  He offered to re-do my closet with sturdier material so tonight off to Lowes we go. I wish my closet looked like his…..

and not like this!!!!

Today’s outfit was born out of the chaos in my closet. The scarf which was hidden on a shelf along with the boy’s baby blankets and box of teeth – (what do you do with baby teeth?) was the palette.  Most of my shoes are covered underneath all those shirts so I am wearing a pair of the loafers I just bought from Target.  They were still in the spare bedroom and had never made it into the closet along with these purple jeans.

All in all I think I made the chaos work for this casual Friday – what do you think?

OOTD – Two-Toned Tuesday

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

Today we reflect on what would have been the 84th Birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a great man…can you imagine what might have been had he lived?

RIP Dr. King

The tone of the day is drab and dreary not only does it describe the weather it’s also reflective of today’s outfit – black and brown

OOTD – Foggy Monday

Hello Friends and Happy Back to Work Monday!

The fog this morning was still quite thick making for a slow yet smooth commute into work.  I guess a lot of people decided to work from home because the office is quiet, providing me an opportunity to take a few pictures in house.  Unfortunately I no longer have the ability to work from home….those days are gone forever.  How about you, does your employer provide a WFH or flexible work schedule policy?

OOTD – Sunset Saturday

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday – on this the beginning of a new week I hope your day is going well.

Saturday was an eventful day but the most memorable event was the sunset that occurred around 4:45 pm, unfortunately I delayed and missed getting a few shots.  However, if you look closely at these pictures you can catch a glimpse of it over my shoulder in the far background.

ImageI was leaving to accompany my girlfriend who was going to Lewes, DE for a “Passion Party”  She is a consultant and asked if I could ride with her because of the distance.  Driving down wasn’t bad but coming back the fog was so thick it made for a slow return home.

OOTD – Thrifted Tops Tuesday

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

Being the sleepy head that I am, getting up every week day at 6 am definitely does not give me a thrill.  However, once I’m up and moving the situation greatly improves especially when I see God’s Glory.   Waking up to a beautiful day provides the motivation to have a prosperous one and I hope it’s the same for you.

The rays of sunshine across the frost covered grass gave me pause to stop and say, “Thank you God for another beautiful day”!

OOTD – Sunny Monday

Hello Friends and Happy Monday.

I hope you had a nice weekend and are starting off your work week in a positive, stress free way!  This morning standing on a sunny deck I couldn’t help but think of Spring with the forecast of temps to rise above 56 degrees by the end of the week. I am however, not naive to think that we won’t be hit with snow and this deck will be covered before the end of February!

On Friday I stopped at GW Boutique (Goodwill) and thrifted a few items all for $3.75, including this sleeveless, black and white tank. It was new, with the tags from Marshall’s still attached. Goodwill is also getting bougie because some of their tags read “Goodwill Boutique”!

OOTD – Son said, "what?" Saturday

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you had an enjoyable day.

I am sitting at the kitchen table sipping Ginger tea trying to accept the fact that son #2 is no longer my baby.  He and I had planned to go to Best Buy to purchase Dragon Speak software and an external DVD drive for his Notebook.  I asked him to take a few shots before leaving and as he reluctantly did, he informed me that we had to be home by 4:00 because his “girlfriend” was coming over.  “Girlfriend…girlfriend…did he say girlfriend?”

January 2013 013

I was all smiles as he hadn’t told me yet

January 2013 015 Huh, what did he just say?

Don’t get me wrong, he is 16 and has had crushes on girls before but this was going to be the first time I was actually going to meet “his girlfriend”, the first time a girl was coming to the house.  I know…I know…but I’m gonna need something stronger than this tea!

January 2013 021 And he knows that if he doesn’t do the right thing, these will be up his butt!

January 2013 017 Just grin and bear it…..

OOTD – 5 Shades of Purple

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay, the first one of the new year.

I don’t know about you, but I feel exhausted!  Perhaps it’s because the highs of the holidays are over or simply because I need more sleep…whatever it is, I’m just glad that the weekend is almost here.  Today’s casual Friday oufit consists of 5 shades of Purple ~ socks, boots, scarf, gloves and eye shadow.  Does it remind you of “Barney” – “I Love You…You Love Me” – lol
