OOTD – Suede Shoes and Skirt

Hello Friends and Happy Election Day 2012

The weekend was great and yesterday seemed to fly by so I didn’t get a chance to post Monday’s Outfit of the Day.  I am still praying for those affected by Hurricane Sandy as the temps are dropping with another storm predicted for tomorrow.

Yesterday was sunny but cold so I briefly ran out onto the back deck so my son could get these shots.  He starts working on the 14th so I need to learn how to use the tripod and timer on my camera – that is going to be fun.

OOTD – Throw On Thursday

Hello friends and Happy Thursday, the 1st day of November 2012.  Prayers still going up for all those affected by Hurricane Sandy, may God/Allah provide you with much needed strength during this time.

Speaking of time…it is now flying with less than a month until Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday of the year!  This transitional weather makes it’s too warm for me to wear a coat but too cold for just a sweater.  This morning I threw on a shawl which is actually a large scarf that once belonged to my sister, it’s more than 20 years old yet very timeless.  Every time I wrap it around me I  can still feel the warmth of my sister’s embrace – RIP Gloria!

OOTD & Wordless Wednesday-NOT!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.  This morning I had an hour long conversation with a cousin that I met only once, 12 years ago at my father’s funeral.  We talked and laughed as if we had spoken just last week.  Our conversation was enjoyable and we both learned a little more about each other and our families.  These days it seems as though personal letter writing or conversing on a LAN line has been replaced with texting, instant messaging, tweeting or facebooking.  We need to connect on a more personal level with family and friends especially as time marches on and our lives shorten.  Today I vow to call her more often as well as having live conversations with other family members and friends.

OOTD – Corporate Casual

Hello friends and Happy Tuesday.  Fall is in full effect even though there are a few 70 degree days on the horizon, today is just not one of them.  I’m wearing a Jones New York blazer, one of the many thifted from Goodwill, a pair of  plain black pants and a multi-color top.  The shoes were purchased last season from Kmart and are so comfortable that I also bought them in grey.

These 3 pictures were taken with Olympus Digital camera

Melanie Trump Bracelet from QVC Outlet

These 2 pics were taken at work with Samsung Smartphone

Have  a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!


QVC Outlet

I’ve been working in West Chester, PA for almost 7 years, yet had never gone to the QVC Outlet which is less than 10 miles from the office. Today seemed like a perfect day to get out and window shop because I vowed not to buy any clothing in October. I am not a Monk and I broke my vow with a few items that were too hard to resist. Truth be told I was specifically looking for the Wendy Williams’ Adorn line, but they didn’t have it, must be too new.

The QVC Outlet has a lot of great bargains including summer season clothing marked 70% off, purses and shoes 60% off, home decor 40% off and jewelry 60% off. There was a very large assortment of purses, however, none of them “spoke to me” so none of them came home with me. I did fall in love with a pair of Anne Klein Kitten Heels and had to decide between black, beige or grey/lilac. I chose the grey/lilac because I’ve never had this color, and the price was right at only $20.48. I also purchased a Susan Graver skirt, $8.84; a Joan Rivers watch, $13.94; and a Melania Trump charm bracelet, $14.68, total with tax was $59.46. Now no more shopping until November, must only shop my closet!!!

Seasonal Home Decor – 40% off

This dress would look great with a pair of boots – $8.12

Shoes and too many purses to chose just one – so got none!

Aren’t these adorable?

I purchased the watch and skirt

Had to take picture of this customer’s boots – she purchased them from T.J. Maxx for $39.00, I hope they have them next month!!!

Have a fantabulous weekend – Smooches!


OOTD – Toeless Tuesday

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday.  Today’s outfit is titled “Toeless Tuesday” because socks are covering my tootsies for the first time in a long time.  I hadn’t planned on wearing socks this early in the season but a change in weather made a change in my mind.  I wore these combat-like boots at the end of September but it was sans socks.

Drizzling rain and colder temps had me putting on a new pair of socks, stripped grey and black purchased from Payless.  Earlier in the year they were on sale, 2 pair for $2.00, I love shopping off season for the best prices.  The black and white sweater blazer was thrifted last season from Goodwill and it’s covering a sleeveless top from Marshalls. (in case of a flash) .  The black pants are a closet staple but must be worn with boots otherwise, it looks like I’m walking in a flash flood!

OOTD- Casual Fri-Yay

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!!  Today it’s casual and comfortable to work wearing jeans and loafers.  Saturday I will start my day at the Farmers Market hawking my wears trying to make a little extra cash.  Later in the afternoon I will be heading to Dover to meet my cousin at Dover Downs.  She is taking a bus trip down from New Rochelle, NY and I hope to turn the little cash into something larger – wish me luck and good fortune!!
