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!

Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!

OOTD – Maxi Monday

Hello Friends and Happy Monday.  If you are on the east coast you woke up to a brrrrr…..chilly morning.  I love the cool, crispness of the season, windows cracked open and covers pulled over my head is the best way to sleep!  Today’s outfit is a faux suede maxi thrifted from Goodwill, multi print top from Ross and pumps from Rugged Wearhouse.

Last Weekend in September

Hello friends, I hope that you had a great weekend. I cannot believe that tomorrow is the first day of October…where did September go? The weekend was uneventful but I did clean out my closet and put away the summer shoes. It’s unbelievable that there were this many shoes in my closet!

I also removed a lot of clothes and next week will be at the Flea Market selling them for $1.00 a piece, anything not sold will be donated to Goodwill. I didn’t get a chance to post Thursday or Friday’s outfits so here they are.

Saturday night Malik went with a friend to a Homecoming Dance and was excited to be riding in a Mercedes, which belonged to Mike’s mother – I wish I had a Benz! I didn’t ask, but wonder if they coordinated their attire with the car – lol!

OOTD – Avon's Miracle Dress

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday, a day that we’ve never seen before nor will we ever see again so make the most of it!

Remember when I purchased this dress from Avon (here), well the miracle is, I had to exchange the large for a medium and it fits!  I can’t wait to order it in red for the holidays…may opt for a large if it’s after Thanksgiving!  This evening I am attending a Financial Seminar which was postponed from last week because of the tornado watch.  I wanted to wear something comfortable and wrinkle resistant to stand up for 12 hours and this definitely fits the bill.

Pumps – Salvation Army// Bracelets – Rainbow Shops// Rings and Earrings – Jewelry box


Left the house at 8:00 am and won’t be returning until 9:00 pm – long day!

Have a fantabulous evening!

Flea Market Finds

One of the best things about going to a Flea Market is finding different and unique items not sold in stores.  At Flea Markets you can mostly find used household items and mass produced knickknacks, jewelry and clothing.  However, there are occasions when you come across unique and original hand made items. “Design-A-Can” is a kisok owned and operated by Lolita, a friend from high school.  In her kiosk she carries mass produced items, but she also sells hand sewn bottle and can covers.  Last week she had completely sold out the can covers and was filling the display cases with these cute bottle covers.  They are individually hand sewn dresses that are made to cover a normal size bottle of dish washing liquid.   How cute are they, there wouldn’t be a need to hide your soap under the sink with it wearing one of these dresses.

The dress covers are individual and unique sewn in fabric that would appeal to anyone including people of different political parties.   She also sells President Obama T-Shirts, sunglasses, caps and key chains; Breast Cancer Awareness items; children’s toys, and games; scarves and hair accessories, a little something for everyone.   If sports is more of your interest she has pillows and blankets with NFL, NHL, and NBA logos.   However, one of the cutest items I saw was the “Sunday Church Hat” hair clips which can also be worn as a scarf or lapel pin.  She doesn’t make these herself but they would be perfect accessories to jazz up a suit, or hat when attending church or special family gathering.

If you are planning a special event like a birthday party, a Bridal Shower, a Super Bowl or Sports party, or even Fraternity/Sorority gathering, Lolita will accept special orders and create a unique item to make it an even more memorable.  Design-A-Can kiosk is open on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, so if you are in Dover go to Spencer’s Bazaar and check her out or let me know and I’ll contact her for you.
