OOTD – Broken Boot Heel December 13, 2012

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!

Today’s titled post; “Broken Boot Heel” makes me wonder why I bought these boots in the first place. I like the color but am no longer excited about them nor do I think they are cute. Perhaps if I had worn them with long pants or a maxi skirt? Hmm…well, I’m wearing them today but will probably donate to Goodwill before the end of the season.

What do think?

This morning I donated a bag of toys to Toys for Tots so I am linking up Thoughtful Thursday and Katterine’s Corner – hop on over to meet a new blogger and be inspired

Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!

Happy 12-12-12 December 12, 2012

There are so many interpretations for today, 12 12 12, but only one fact ~ none of us will be alive to see another repeating-number-date!

I’ve read that the number 12 is prominent, 12 is a number of universal imports seen in our culture; 12 hours of the day, 12 months of the year, 12 in a dozen, 12 zodiac signs, 12 apostles, and 12 days of Christmas. There are suggestions to enjoy the beauty of the procession of the December holidays, starting by lighting miracles in the days of Hanukkah, leading to the gateway day of 12.12.12; stepping through the threshold of December 21, the Winter Solstice; walking into the 12 days of Christmas, and finally embracing the seven principles of Kwanzaa for a renewed human experience.

Whatever the interpretation, I do plan on doing something special by being extra kind to someone and paying it forward, it will be a small gesture to make this day bigger and more significant than the others.

Are you planning or have you done something special to mark this day?

Don’t forget that tonight is the 12-12-12 Concert to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy – wonder what Kanye has to say about President Obama?

OOTD – HAPPY FRI-YAY! December 7, 2012

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I hope your day is going well and that plans for the weekend are in full gear – enjoy! My mother-in-law is doing well and I thank you for all your prayers. Tonight the boys and I will be visiting taking a small table-top Christmas Tree to brighten up the room and raise her spirits. All week I have been psyching myself up to start decorating and have decided that tomorrow is the day, oh Lord. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like decorating for the holidays, it just getting motivated to start because I HAVE TOO DAMN MUCH. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen pics of just a few bins of Christmas decorations that are in my basement’s crawlspace. When my sons were younger, they were all gung-ho and couldn’t wait to help – now it’s like pulling teeth and hubby is a Muslim so he only helps to put the boxes away, the majority of the work falls on me. The older I get the more I understand why people paid others to decorate their homes, remember this episode from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”?

It’s not as cold as I expected but there’s a cold rain falling so I bundled up with a scarf for casual Friday.

OOTD – Winter Wednesday December 5, 2012

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.

OOTD – Totally Thrifted Tuesday (almost) December 4, 2012

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

It’s a warm December day in the Delaware Valley and I hope it’s the same “in your neck of the woods” – I love Al Roker! Saturday my girlfriend told me about her daily Zumba workout so last night I pulled up some YouTube videos and tried it. Man oh man it was an awesome workout, I loved it and will definitely try it every night to fight off these excess lbs that have attached themselves to my body!

Today’s outfit is almost totally thrifted, the blouse, skirt and shoes were all thrifted from Goodwill

Reversible Two-Tone Belt – Avon // – Necklace & Earring Set – Jewelrymax.net // Watch – Joan Rivers Collection via QVC outlet

This afternoon, I may pull out my sneakers from under my desk and go for a brisk walk.

Hello friends and Happy FRI-YAY!

8 days after Thanksgiving – I am grateful and 2 days after the biggest Powerball Jackpot in history – I am still grateful!

This week instead of doing an Outfit of the Day, I put together collages to showcase my “Wardrobe of the Week”. I am getting a little more comfortable taking pictures with the tripod but the backgrounds are all basically the same- ((^_^))

Suede Jacket – Goodwill // Animal Print Maxi Skirt – Goodwill // Knit Top – Ross // Boots – Rugged Wearhouse // Necklace – flea market vendor

Polka Dot Knit Top – Goodwill // Black Suede Skirt – Goodwill // Purple leather boots – Value City // Necklace – Jewlerymax.net

OOTD – Thrifted & Target Tuesday November 20, 2012

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.

OOTD – Totally Thrifted November 19, 2012

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
