Fashion and Fun after Fifty
Rainbow Shops is having a clearance sale, 2/$20, on selected shoes and sandals so I picked up these in black/white and another pair in neon green/white.
They are super comfortable, I may have to go back and get the neon yellow/black and neon pink/black!
Happy 1st Day of Summer 2012!!
With an overly warm winter and a very rainy spring it’s only natural that summer is barreling in with excessive heat. We have been given excessive heat warnings for today and Thursday with temps expecting to reach the high 90’s but feel like 100 degrees. This morning at 6:00 the readings were above 70. Stay cool, hydrated and safe!
Summertime fun in the sun calls for good music and these are my favorites – click on the links to see YouTube video. What are some of your favorite summer songs?

Sundress by CoCo Brown

There are numerous published safety tips on how to stay cool during the excessive heat and I am definitely adhering to the one about dressing lightly.
Sundress was purchased on clearance last season at Burlington Coat Factory
Bronze color sandals match the embellishment around the neck and are circa 2000
After work I will be hitting the pool!
Sitting at one of the many stop lights on 202 South, I was looking through coupons and realized I had a $5 off $25 coupon for Old Navy that was about to expire. I love the Old Navy mannequins and commercials but I love their bargains more. Shopping at Old Navy is like being at a casino hitting mini jackpots because there are always marked down items mixed in among the regular priced ones.
I hit with two maxi skirts and a pair of espadrilles for $21.97.
Purple Drawstring Maxi – $7.32
Other Sales – 30% off all wedge shoes
Last night hubby and I attended a birthday party for one of his fraternity brothers (Omega Psi Phi) in Wilmington. The party was held at a small club in town and it was almost like a mini Delaware State College reunion. A Kappa Alpha Psi party was also going on downstairs and I saw a few brothers that I knew from college. The catered food was excellent and the crowd was warm, however, we left earlier than midnight because I wanted to go to church in the morning.
The dress was purchased on clearance from Macy’s last August but I never wore it. My husband’s suit, shirt, shoes and suspenders are his normal work attire however, he chose to go without a tie for a more casual look.
Strapless Dress – Macy’s// Jessica Simpson Shoes – Marshalls// Pashima – Boscov’s// Purse – DSW// Jewelry – Icings
Rainbow Shops is having a store-wide sale including a 2/$20 for sandals and ballerina slippers.
Heading to the Flea Market this morning
Last week I made the mistake of stopping at Ross only looking to purchase a 3 pack set of loofahs for my husband but unfortunately they didn’t have any. I had banned myself from shopping at Ross and hadn’t been there for over a month. Oftentimes they have such great deals that I’ll over spend my budget and Friday was no exception. After searching for the loofahs and eye-balling the purses instead of walking straight out the door, I made a right and went immediately to the clearance racks…and the rest is history!
Maxi Dress – $9.99
Sandals – $14.99
