Happy Thursday my friends, I hope you are having a stress-free productive day. This is the last day of skirt week because tomorrow I will be traveling and won’t be in the office. I still have a lot more to wear but I did find several that will be sold at next month’s Flea Market. This weekend I may tackle the shoes but if not, it will definitely be done before the end of the month.
This skirt still had the price tag on it, clearance for $7.98, from Burlington Coat Factory and I almost didn’t wear it. It’s ruffled on the sides and I thought it might accentuate my thighs but the color matched the shoes (purchased here) so I cut the tag and wore it. The multi color top is a closet staple as is the jewelry (because I can’t remember where purchased).
I picked up this cloth fan at Dollar Tree to keep in my purse for those “personal summer” moments!
Have a blessed day ~Smooches!

Vlogger of the week
I love Shanda’s channel because she keeps it real with her weekly chats on everything from fashion, sex & relationships (for the grown and sexy), hair care, make up, shopping and many other timely topics. She recently launched a clothing line, Curvysta which is one of her life long dreams, I know she will do well with this new endeavor.
Shanda is “THE VOICE OF A NEW GENERATION!” Fresh, New, Positive, Genuine, Real, Motivational, and Influential”. If you haven’t done so already check out her channel and tell her that I sent you.
Smooches!

Happy Hump Day Wednesday….let the countdown begin. Why do I wish my life away by rushing the week to get to the weekend? I need to be more conscience of that and simply enjoy each day because they are not promised. Today’s outfit is once again not thrifted even though it didn’t start out that way. The first skirt I put on was from Goodwill but it was a little too tight….gotta watch those carbs!! I love the color burgundy for the fall and have read that it’s the color for the season, that and “oxblood”. Who in the world cut an ox and then decided to use the color of the blood to describe clothing – where in the world do you find an ox anyway?
The multi-color skirt was purchased last month from Boscov’s (remember this sale) and I paired it with the burgundy top from Ross or Marshalls. Picking up the mustard color in the skirt with the xhilaration sandals via Target. Necklace and earring set from Jewelrymax.net as well as rhinstone, butterfly ring. The tri-color metal bracelet is from my jewelry box (which means I can’t remember where it was purchased).
Have a wonderful day and make the most of it, I’ll try to do the same.

Today this morning it was brisk, bright and cloudless, eerily similar to the morning of 9.11.01
RIP to all those who were tragically lost on that day – our Angels forever
Day 2 of skirt week is completely thrift-free which for me is a feat! In June, I purchased this Valerie Bertinelli skirt (worn here) at Marshalls, I didn’t want to pay full price but I also didn’t want to wait for it to be marked down. The top was either purchased at Marshalls, TJ Maxx or Ross, as they all have similar clothing items.

Monday…Monday…Monday…and what a beautiful day it is – the Lord has truly blessed us with a gorgeous pre-Autumn day. I am happy to be able to turn off the AC and open up the windows, I will however miss the heat but not the high electric bills! I had planned on clearing out my closet over the weekend but decided to work outside instead. In addition to the shoes scattered on my closet floor I have a lot of skirts hanging. It’s time to start wearing them more frequently so that I can determine what to keep and what to donate. This week the theme “a skirt a day”, starts with an Army green denim which is perfect for today’s brisk weather.

The Kardashian Kollection has a new line called Metaphor. It is geared towards women who love affordable designer fashion (raising hand). Fashion items that can go from a day at the office to a night on the town. Jackets for misses and petites are advertised for $17.99, I will definitely be making a trip to Sears to check it out.

FRI-YAY – FRI-YAY ~ thanking God we made it through another work week without any hurt, harm or danger! Heading out shortly to start the weekend, a relaxing one with no major projects other than organizing the shoes scattered throughout my closet – yay! Casual Friday I decided to wear my DIY maxi shirt (here) with a plain red top, and a pair of flat sandals from DSW.

Yesterday’s staycation day was planned for dental, orthodontic and doctor appointments but I did manage to get in a little thrifting. I had wanted to go to the Christiana Mall for the Fashion Night Out (FNO) events but it didn’t start until 6:00. Wanting to be home before six I instead stopped at the Salvation Army. Not having been to the Salvation Army since 1996, I noticed a drastic change for the better and will post pics, my thoughts and of course my finds this weekend.

As with most stores, the fall fashions were in stock well before Labor Day to capture the back to school crowd as well as the excitement of updating our fall wardrobes. Rugged Wearhouse is a clothing store that has really stepped up their game. I remember years ago this store carried mainly jeans and t-shirts for young adults and school age kids, and although this is still their primary target the selection of women’s wear has greatly improved. To further entice the more mature buyer they recently introduced a Rewards Program. When you sign up online you will receive a card which is presented at checkout. The reward is $5.00 off your next purchase if you spend at least $25.00.
On this trip I did spend more than $25.00, and here are the items that I purchased.
Price point for these tops starts at $7.99
Price point for these dresses start at $12.99
Shoes are a hit or miss, depending on when they get a shipment, I saw several pairs of boots but wanted to wait because I couldn’t remember what I already had in my closet. I did however, get these purple ones because I knew I didn’t have any in this color and I liked the funky heels!
Shoe price point varies, these were $9.99
Accessories galore starting as low as $.99 cents.
I purchased 2 necklaces for $1.49, a pair of earrings and bracelets for $3.99 each.
Scarves and purses start at $4.99
