Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
Today’s outfit was inspired by an Instagram picture from Kela’s Kloset, a fashion blogger whom I admire and follow because of her great sense of style. She like myself has vowed to shop our closet for the month of March, me because gas is too damn high. I’m always checking the blogs for ideas and to get inspiration for refashioning items that I already own and this is today’s.
You know how much I love my sleeveless shift dresses, well instead of wearing a cardigan or blazer over it, I’m wearing a print top underneath.
From where do you get your outfit inspirations ~ Instagram or Pinterest?

Snow is in the forecast this afternoon starting at 4:00 pm, just in time for my evening commute so I chose to wear an old pair of boots and to accessorize with silver jewelry

I didn’t feel like changing my purse this morning so just wrapped a coordinating scarf around the handle

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday
This was my casual First Friday attire – Polka Dots, Pink Suede and “Pearls”. The pink glitter earrings were gifted last year from a jewelry company, SweetLikeCake.com however, I could no longer find them online.
I hope you have a good day, I’m off to do my Saturday chores and looking forward to watching Saturday Night Live tonight, Kevin Hart is hosting and it’s going to be HILARIOUS!!! They should have booked Robin Thicke as the musical guest with surprise appearances by JB Smooth, Boris Kodjoe and Nick Cannon – it would be a Real Husbands of Hollywood special.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-YAY!
The first day of March…another day the Lord hath made…the first weekend of the month…it’s all good in the neighborhood!
Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? Me not so much, going to Home Depot or Lowes with hubby in search of a replacement kitchen sink faucet, (finally stopping a water leak), then doing our income taxes – Woohoo lucky lucky me!
Well at least I had fun yesterday at The Money School’s Awards Luncheon where I met some great people including Governor Markell. The Money School provides some wonderful free programs in the state and it was nice to see them recognize people who help in this effort, I can’t wait to post the details.
Earlier in the day my son and I drove into town to his orthodontic’s office.
Worthington high waist skirt was purchased from JC Penny on clearance for $5.00!

Hello Friends and Happy March Eve!
Can you believe today is the last day of February? I am taking a PTO day off from work and will be attending an event later at The Money School of Delaware. Yesterday started out wet and rainy so I just wore black slacks, a zebra print top and flats then added an orange belt to break up the black and white. It wasn’t fashionable just comfy Corporate casual – what do you think?
The orange purse was purchased from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop and I tied a multi-color scarf around the handles.
I was going to wear the single bracelet that I made in my DYI post (here), but decided to add a few wooden bangles to the zebra print ones that I had in my jewelry box
I used orange nail polish to cover a silver ring – another DYI

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.
Yeah yeah yeah, we are on the down stroke to the weekend! I really have to stop rushing my life away, every day is a new day to be cherished and savored, but ding dang dong it – I LOVE THE WEEKENDS!!!
I also love OLIVES, I love the color OLIVE and I love the vegetable… or is it a fruit…OLIVES …hey…in what food group is an OLIVE?
I do know that olives are a staple in the Mediterranean diet which has been scientifically confirmed that it reduces the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases by 30 percent and is great for people trying to lose weight. I only cook with light Virgin Olive Oil, have used it as a hair care product and if I drank Martinis I would do it only for the OLIVES!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday.
I hope you had a nice weekend and that your Monday was productive and stress free.
My weekend was nice starting with attending the C.O.D.E. Conference on Saturday, which was an awesome event for small business owners. Does your city or state provide free conferences or seminars for the advancement of their small business owners?
Sunday I didn’t attend church instead lounged around getting some much needed R&R and then afternoon shopping with my son which was a rare treat for me, he’s at the age when being with mom is not cool. I remember praying for a boy each time I was pregnant, but sometimes I wish I had a girl to shop with especially now that my grandmother is no longer with me. She and I loved to hang out…shopping for bargains…eating out …laughing…just having fun…I really miss her, which is why I started blogging.
This morning I heard birds chirping and the weather has been so mild. With little to no significant snow I’m hoping Mother Nature isn’t trying to lull us into a false sense of “it’s Spring”! Remember the catch phrase, “it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature”, well I hope she reciprocates.
Today I am wearing the Posh.mina that I reviewed (here) last month and because it’s one of my favorite colors it will definitely become a closet staple in high rotation.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay !
In the early 2000’s, I had a job that permitted me to work from home on Fridays and I enjoyed dressing down in jeans and slippers. I no longer have that job nor the luxury of working from home on Fridays, but it hasn’t stopped me from dressing down in jeans and slippers shoes!
I am almost head to toe Mossimo, even having a little fun changing the footwear this morning. These shoes are part of my Target haul (here) and I want you to guess which pair made it to work today.
The cardigan sweater is from Ross and accessories from my jewelry box.
Which ones would you have chosen, the embellished flats or the Cap Toe heels?
Oh, BTW, this is the first time attempting a serious pattern mix – what do you think – Yay or Nay??
Have a fantabulous weekend!!

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
I was born in 1961, so it seems strange to use the term “throwback” when referring to the 1980’s, but it is. Today’s outfit is totally thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill) but from two different decades. The blue and white Houndstooth blazer was thrifted in 1989, which you can probably tell by the Dynasty/Falcon Crest shoulder pads. Remember when they introduced Dianne Carroll as Dominique Deveraux; or the pool fight scene or the first time the “B” word was used, or when they went crazy after Rock Hudson revealed he had AIDS? Man oh Manischewitz, that was definitely some “must see TV!”
The skirt and shoes were just thrifted last year however, the styles make them look a little dated as well. The white shell earrings were purchased at Rehoboth Beach also in the ’80’s and match the buttons on the blazer.
Romantic Soles Blue Pumps – GW Boutique // Blue side slit skirt – GW Boutique // Blue and White Houndstooth Blazer – GW Boutique // Ring – Avon // Earrings – Rehoboth Beach shop // Bracelets – Burlington Coat Factory // Tote – Target // Scarf – old
