Sunday Stylin Roundup

sunday stylin roundup

Hello friends and welcome to Sunday Stylin Roundup.  I trust you all had a wonderful weekend.  We are now into full Autumn attire and I finally got all my closets cleaned – yay me!  I didn’t get an opportunity to wear all of my summer dresses but next week I am going to repost a DIY in which I cut the bodice off a dress to make it a maxi skirt.  I’ll be doing a few more of them as some of the dresses are cut too low to wear without a cover-up.

Here are last week’s outfits.

2 fer 1

These two outfits one I wore at the end of September and the other was early October which is still warm enough to wear peep toes and pencil skirts.

Pencil skirts are by far my favorite types of skirts and the color grey with the classic black and white works equally well with green and beige.  The red necklace is from Rainbow Shops and the beige beads are from Walmart, they have a really nice $5 and $10 Statement necklace assortment #stockingstuffer.

Back to Basics

I call this outfit “Back to Basics“, because the white cotton shirt and tie are reminiscent of my early corporate days at IBM.  Believe it or not, I still have several of the clip on ties that I wore back in the early 80’s!  The skirt is from Walmart and the purse is from Avon as is the bracelets and watch.  I participated in iamfabellis #fabwerkwear Instagram roundup, so if you get a minute go check out the other lovely ladies in classic white work shirts.

Wild n Out

Breaking out the infinity scarves which I have draped around a body-form in the guest bedroom, most of which were on clearance from Burlington Coat Factory, but Walmart also has a large selection as well, starting at $4.97.

Two of my favorite consigned pieces, the Jessica Simpson leopard print peep-toes shoes and this leopard print vintage purse.  A simple top from Boscov’s and brown thrifted skirt made this outfit a mid-week special.

Another infinity scarf breaks of the basic blue skirt from JCPenney and green scoop top thrifted from Goodwill.  I had forgotten about these Unlisted shoes from the Shoe Dept, but seemed to work well with the tote from Target as well as the thrifted pink clutch.

Poncho and Pencil

I ended the work week in a “Poncho and Pencil” skirt and pointy toe shoes from DSW.  The pencil skirt and thrifted sleeveless tank were covered in a printed poncho from Boscov’s.  I didn’t need to change up my purse as the tote from Target worked well. The accessories I chose were a wooden beaded necklace, a Flea Market find, and wood earrings from Claire’s.

So which outfit did you like the best?

SUMMER STYLE ROUND UP FOR MY BIRTHDAY!

Hello friends and welcome to the weekend!

Today is my 53rd Birthday and later on I will be celebrating it with my hubby and son with a dinner down at the Christiana Riverfront.

In the meantime, I thought I would post a few summer outfits that didn’t quite make it to the blog.  However, if you follow me on Instagram you might remember seeing some of them in a “Fashion after Fifty” post.

BLACK & GOLD black and gold 2

You know how much I love black and white polka dots, so with this outfit I accented it with gold accessories.  Both the top and pants are thrifted, the purse is quite old as are the sandals.  The bracelet was purchased at the QVC Outlet in Frazer, PA, Avon watch and the ring is from Old Navy.

This was another Casual Friday with white jeans and sequins top which I had never worn during the day, but hey, YOLO and I’m over 50!  The purse was found at Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop in West Chester, PA and the studded sandals are staples in my closet.

Shoespie 1 year Anniversary Sale, Big Discount From 9.17th-9.16th, Focus Us! PINK LACE

This was another fun outfit, with the pink lace top, pink gingham shoes from Rugged Wearhouse and multi-color purse from Ross.  I chose to anchor the outfit with a black pencil skirt.

BROWN & BLUE

And finally my all time favorite outfit of the season, mixing brown and blue with a studded top thrifted from Goodwill, faux Jimmy Choo purse and multiple bangles from Old Navy.  The faux Snakeskin pumps from Target are a pair of my favorite pumps so they will be worn a lot this fall.

So what do you think, not bad for an old lady huh…?

53 birthday

Which outfit do you like best?

Totally Thrifted Tuesday | OOTD

Hello Friends, I trust you all had a happy and safe holiday weekend!  I am back to work after being off since Thursday and needless to say it is tough getting back into the routine.  This outfit is what I wore last Tuesday and with the exception of the jewelry it is Totally Thrifted.

Totally Thrifted OOTD

 

You might remember when I purchased this embroidered skirt and sleeveless tank last winter at Goodwill.  It was during one of the many shopping trips I made looking for outfits for the 2014 Goodwill Runway Show.  One of the things I like most about thrifting is you can oftentimes find items that are out of season knowing that they are right for when the weather changes.  It was the dead of winter cold but I knew this skirt and tank would be perfect for work once the weather warmed.


Totally Thrifted OOTD

 

These Jessica Simpson animal print, peep-toe shoes are one of my favorite pieces from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop.

Totally Thrifted OOTD

In selecting the accessories, I decided to mix plastic bracelets with pearl necklaces and earrings.  The goldtone watch is from Avon.

The floral embroidery on the skirt matches the patio cushions and umbrella from Home Depot.  Speaking of which, did you have a nice Memorial Day weekend?  What did you do?  On Saturday, we had a graduation party for Malik and it was a  blast, I’ll post more on about it on Thankful Thursday.

I think I’ll head over to see the ladies at Personal Style Linkup, Thrifters Anonymous and Lou Lou Girls.  Have a wonderful day and we’ll chat tomorrow.
