Hello friends and Happy Feel Good 1st Friday in June
Wow, where did the time go? Well just like May this is going to be short. These are just 2 outfits that I wore the weeks before Memorial Day and I simply entitled it
Red White & Aqua Blue
The jeans and dress are both from Walmart #WearWalmart
The flats are Payless and purses are Avon. I always wear this zebra tank with the zebra flats because I like the matchy matchy style…I did it with the bracelets too.
I love the casual A-line cut of this dress and there are a few other styles, so I’ll definitely be on the lookout for when they hit the clearance rack! To jazz it up a bit, I added a gold tone chain belt which was thrifted from Goodwill and a chain necklace from Avon.
These flats are the perfect color for this dress and the sunnies were purchased at Goodwill.
I hope you a
ll have a wonderful weekend and Happy Fri-Yay!
I can’t believe that in only 3 more days, the men and I will be on flying off to paradise in the Dominican Republic. We all deserve this break and I am looking forward to spending time with hubby and my sons…which almost didn’t happen due to their expired Passports…but that’s a different story for a different day.
My blogs posts are all scheduled for next week including over at www.bloggingwithblake.com, so I don’t have to worry about posting while away. I will however, be taking lots of pictures so if you are not following now on Instagram and YouTube, make sure to do so today!
Cool in cotton is the title of this post and it’s a simple white polo shirt from Walmart #WearWalmart and a floral skirt thrifted from Goodwill. Staying cool in summer’s heat and humidity is vital as is drinking plenty of water.
Along with the pair of Ann Taylor sandals this outfit was perfect to keep me cool outdoors as well comfy inside the office.
I plan on wearing cool and comfy sundresses while on vacation and will be posting a daily OOTD hopefully at sunrise, as hubby and I plan on getting up and walking the beach each morning before then.
Hello friends and welcome to the last #YCTS in May, where in the heck did the month go? Time is flying but I did get a change to go through the shoes in my bedroom closet. Maybe next weekend I’ll get to the ones in the guest bedroom.
I donated several pairs of winter shoes and boots that I hadn’t even looked at in years and am pretty sure I will do the same with the spring/summer styles.
This week it’s Black Patent Leather Sandals versus Red Studded sandals.
Yesterday’s post was about wearing sleeveless after 50 and so you can see that I don’t have a problem doing so.
I can’t remember where I purchased this top but the skirt is Boscov’s and the clutch is Rainbow Shops.
The black patent leather sandals are one of my favorites by Jessica Simpson.
The red sandals I think were purchased at Rugged Wearhouse. I added another pop of red with the bracelet from Old Navy. Check out the big butterfly ring from Jewelrymax.net
Okay, so which pair of shoes would you have chosen for this outfit?
I will be skipping the next two Thursdays as I prepare for and then be on vacation!
There weren’t many votes from last week and it was almost a tie, but the winners were the pumps.
I can’t believe this topic is still under discussion, but it’s that time of year so here we go again…
Should a woman wear sleeveless clothing after the age of 50?
Heck yeah it’s Hot!
I am over the age of 50, as a matter of fact I will be 54 in September, am still menopausal and sweat like a pig most mornings just getting dressed…actually pigs don’t have sweat glands, but that’s besides the point.
I have and will continue to be sleeveless in the summer no matter my age because I want to and it’s comfortable. Hey, if you have flabby arms so what, I think Wendy Williams called them “bingo wings”, be proud of them or do something about them…lift weights using canned peaches or hit the bag like First Lady Michelle Obama.
No matter your age or size, be comfortable with who you are because in the end, it’s not about what you looked like on the outside, it’s how you felt on the inside…stay cool and do you boo boo!
Dress and Sunnies – Goodwill Bracelet – Old Navy Sandals – Rainbow Shop – Purse – Avon
Hello friends and welcome to week 8 of “You Choose the Shoes”
Last week I actually did try to rearrange my closet, pulling out the winter wear in exchange for the Spring and Summer shoes, but I didn’t get too far. Hopefully, on Monday, Memorial Day I will get it all done.
Before we begin, I would like to ask for your prayers as we say goodbye and prepare to bury yet another cousin on Saturday who lost her battle with breast cancer #ihatecancer
Our cousin Renee’ was a beautiful, kind, loving and spiritual woman and I know she is looking over us all. I am going to dedicate a separate post to her once all is said in done, because I want to honor her husband and children as well.
This week’s contenders are Patent Leather wedges – versus- Patent Leather pumps
I remember wearing, and as a matter of fact I still have a pair of my patent leather Easter shoes from childhood. They were the squeakiest shoes ever made but when you shined them with Vaseline…watch out world…you were as sharp as a tack!
This is one of my favorite dresses, I purchased it for Tayair’s High School graduation in 2010. The purse is a recent purchase from Walmart #WearWalmart Speaking of Walmart, did you see my spread on their website…I’m in my “big girl panties” – click the picture in the sidebar to be taken to the advertisement and video. I am still in amazement of it all!
Okay, back to the shoes, the patent leather wedges were thrifted from Goodwill and the pumps are Mossimo via Target. As you can see, hubby was at it again…
The bracelet was purchased from a Clair’s in the mall and the necklace was a gift from hubby.
So which pair works better with this outfit?
Thank you all for voting last week…and the winners were….the granny booties!
Don’t forget to check out my new blog – Blogging with Blake and Youtube channel…oh and I also have an app, so download it from Google Play for some great coupons, rewards and savings!
Hello friends and welcome to another week of “You Choose the Shoes” I didn’t pull out all of my spring and summer shoes last weekend, but I did add to the collection, so look out for some new contenders. In the meantime, let’s check out these oldies but goodies.
It’s another week of peep toe versus closed toe, and speaking of toes, hubby gave me a gift card to Sunlight Salon so soon I’ll be getting my seasonal pedicure!
I kinda like these “granny boot” peep toes and the color can be worn with a lot of different outfits, however, I chose to go with this neutral color skirt from Spiegel.
Of course, snakeskin is also considered a neutral color and it should be treated as such. Now that I am looking at all the accessories, I’m thinking…”what was I thinking…”
Hubby was messing with me on this Monday morning, as you can see from the next picture.
Okay, so which one did you choose, the peep toes from Kmart or the Snakeskin from Target?
See I told you…and thank you all for voting in last week’s contest…the winner was…
Have you started wearing your summer sandals?
I hope your day is as beautiful as you!
BTW, have you checked out my new blog – www.bloggingwithblake.com
Hello friends and welcome to You Choose the Shoes Season 2 ~ Week 6
Thank you all for your kind words and suggestions regarding my leg, unfortunately there is still a scar which I doubt will ever heal. Thank God is didn’t blister, but the next time, if there is a next time, I’m just going to let the pan fall onto the floor!
This week will be open toe versus closed toe. The weather is finally where it should be so this weekend, I will be pulling out the Spring and Summer shoes so we can get this contest rocking and rolling.
The cloth open-toe pumps are Rocket Dogg from The Shoe Dept and these patent leather pumps are Mossimo from Target.
Believe it or not I almost forgot about this weekly feature…not because I wanted to but because I launched a new blog, Blogging with Blake and have been trying to get it up and running along with a vlogging series. Do ya think I have enough time in a day?
If you follow me on instagram you know we took a road trip to Virginia Beach and welcomed a new cousin into the world, I can’t wait to tell you all about our trip and the rental car from Enterprise!
So which pair do you think looks better, the closed toe pumps…..or…
The open toe pumps?
Thank you all for voting last week…and the winner was…
TODAY IS MY HUBBY’S BIRTHDAY – WE WILL CELEBRATE OVER THE WEEKEND AND I’LL SHOW YOU THE PICS THAT I CAN SHOW ONLINE NEXT WEEK – ((^_^))
3S Day ~ Sporting a Sweater, Sunnies and Suede in the Spring
Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world. I don’t know how it is in your neck of the woods, but here in Delaware Spring is taking a long time to settle in. One day it’s cold and the next day it’s hot…just like how I was the first few years of menopause!
Fortunately, the temps have begun to rise into the low to mid 80’s and hopefully they will be sticking around until the holiday. During the last week in April it was chilly in the mornings and then warmer in the afternoons, hence this outfit of the day featuring 3S’ : a short sleeve sweater, suede and sunnies. #OOTD
This dress is one of my spring/summer favorites but it has cap sleeves so I had to top it with a short sleeve sweater. The sweater has been hanging in my 2nd closet for years and is one that the boys gifted me a few Christmas’ ago. If you remember, the suede purse was thrifted and featured in this YouTube video, the open-toe suede shoes were purchased last season from Payless.
I love these sunnies which I bought new from Goodwill and they too were featured in last month’s blog post submission which you can read here, www.goodwillde.org.
I can’t wait to break out the maxi dresses and skirts!
What is your favorite summer outfit, shorts and tanks, or capris and short sleeves?
Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world! As I sit here writing this post I am listening to The Friends of Distinction sing “Lonesome Mood” and it has really gotten me in some sorta mood – I love classic R&B, check it out and let me know how it makes you feel.
Last week as I was going through my closet looking for something to wear for the #JordWatch review, oh, by the way, don’t forget to enter for a chance to win, I came across this sleeveless dress. I had totally forgotten about it but since it was 81 degrees and sunny I figured it was a perfect day to wear it.
The statement necklace was shown in a previous video and was purchased for $5 from Walmart #WearWalmart and the shoes were a gift from fellow blogger SandpaperKisses.
The CZ ring is from Avon and of course the watch is a Jord Wood watch, Ely in Maple. Click on their side banner ad to see some of the other great styles of both men and women wood watches.
Hello friends and welcome to You Choose the Shoes Season 2 ~ Week 4
This week’s contenders are both from Paylessbut from different seasons.
The blue open-toe bow shoes were purchased about two years ago but I haven’t worn them as much as I should, they will be in heavy rotation this season.
The black booties were a recent purchase and I really like them so I’ll definitely be wearing these a lot as well.
Gotta love a cute pair of Spring suede booties!
I love these shoes but I definitely need some sun on these legs and a professional pedicure!
The dress is thrifted from Goodwill and is very comfy for wearing to work. Okay, so which pair did you choose?
Thank you all for voting last week in the black and white verses the red challenge…the winner was….
ll have a wonderful weekend and Happy Fri-Yay!
