OOTD – Paisley Pink and Animal Print

When I saw this jacket at Goodwill I knew I had to have it even though it’s a size medium and a bit snug .  Initially I thought about pairing it with a pair of pants or jeans but nothing I had seemed right.    I was thinking of wearing it over a solid brown dress but then saw this dress hanging next to it screaming, “pick me pick me” and it turned out to be a better choice.  Adding the animal print shoes was the icing on the cake , I love this outfit and the weather is definitely conducive to wear it – see how the breeze catches my dress in the first shot.

OOTD – The Big Cut Down

As stated in a previous post, when thrifing I don’t let larger sizes deter me from making a purchase because it can always be altered.  This red and white polka dot top was a size 2X that I cut down using another shirt as a guide.  I paired it with black and white polka dot capris also thrifted from Goodwill.

Folded the shirt in half

Used another shirt as a pattern for re-sizing

Cut out leaving enough fabric to stitch

Belted to cinch the waist a bit more

After Church Sunday

My men -aka- my body guards attended church with me this morning, although we were 30 minutes late we made it.  I didn’t have time for any before pics but I did manage to snap this one pic of Malik dodging the camera – he hates having his picture taken!

Does he think he’s on the run from the CIA?

I love how Tayair paired horizontal with vertical stripes.

Saturday Night – Date Night

Last night hubby and I attended a birthday party for one of his fraternity brothers (Omega Psi Phi) in Wilmington.  The party was held at a small club in town and it was almost like a mini Delaware State College reunion.  A Kappa Alpha Psi party was also going on downstairs and I saw a few brothers that I knew from college.   The catered food was excellent and the crowd was warm, however, we left earlier than midnight because I wanted to go to church in the morning.

The dress was purchased on clearance from Macy’s last August but I never wore it.  My husband’s suit, shirt, shoes and suspenders are his normal work attire however, he chose to go without a tie for a more casual look.

OOTD

A few weeks ago I wore this dress covered with a sleeveless top which I later unbuttoned to make it a vest.  I  think the mustard color of the shoes complimented the dress, what do you think?

OOTD – Bright Orange Sunshiny Day

Orange is one of  my favorite colors because it can be worn any time any season.  I love the brightness of this thrifted J. Crew top paired with the asymmetrical brown and beige skirt especially on such a warm and bright day.
