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?

Clearance Shoe Haul from Target
I have a LOVE-HATE relationship with Tar’jay – I love their clothing and shoes and of course their awesome clearance sales but I hate that I can’t resist leaving without making a major purchase. I drive past Target on Route 202 everyday and have been patiently waiting for their Cap Toe shoes to go on sale. They were the “must haves” for the holidays with many bloggers Instagraming pictures, but I refused to pay full price. I wanted a pair in red so last night I finally decided to stop…OMG!!!
Unfortunately, I was unable to find a pair of red, Cap Toes in my size but I did get these jewel-toned, embellished and zebra print loafers for $7.48 pair!
I checked the accessories and found a tote in Cognac which is a very neutral color that works well with most outfits.
I also purchased two pencil skirts and 2 tops but if you are looking for colored skinny jeans they have a large assortment of colors and patterns most priced below $20.00.
Don’t forget to bring in your own reusable bag for an additional 5 cents off per bag. Check your local Target for more amazing clearance deals – Happy Shopping!
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 – Wine Wednesday
Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.
I apologize if when you read today’s title you thought I would be posting about Barefoot or Lindeman Sweet Red Wines – nope, it’s not Friday nor is this Instagram!
Today’s posted outfit is Wine in color, or you could call it Oxblood or you could call it Burgundy – whatever … I chose Wine because it starts with a “W” and so does Wednesday – u so silly! How would you describe the color?

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?”
I was all smiles as he hadn’t told me yet
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!
And he knows that if he doesn’t do the right thing, these will be up his butt!
Just grin and bear it…..

OOTD – Countdown to 2013
Hello Friends and Happy New Year’s Eve 2012!
Back to work after having a week off which flew by too quickly, thankfully there are only a few others in the office so I can play catch-up in peace. My son, aka “Lamont” gave me some clothes to be donated to Goodwill but I kept this flannel shirt (Fred) and it fits perfectly!
