Goodwill Goodies December 10, 2012

Thursday I drove to Goodwill in Exton, it had been a while since I was there last and I’m on the hunt for scarves and striped shirts. I didn’t find either but I did find some other Goodwill Goodies. Remember the post when I stated that I was looking for Cowboy boots, well it took almost 4 months but I found them, a pair of NEW Mossimo (Target) boots for $8.99!

Chaus Blue Skirt and Morgan Taylor Studio Red Skirt – $3.50 each

apparenza blouse (new with tags) and Soft Works print top – $1.75 each

$5.25 outfits

Oversize Nutcracker Grey Sweater (will wear over leggings) and New York & Company Knit Top – $3.50 each

Valet for my son – $8.97 // Towel holder – $2.97, I’ll use for bracelets or necklaces

Dolce&Gabbana Purse – $10.50

I liked these cute Anne Klein shoes but they weren’t my size

Next week I’ll hit Thorndale!

OOTD – Sensible Shoes December 10, 2012

Hello Friends and Happy Monday, 15 days until Christmas and the 7^th day of Hanukkah 2012.

Today is one of those, “jump back into bed pull the covers over your head” type of days. It’s cold, damp and dreary, but it’s also another day the Lord has kept us so I’ll rejoice and be glad in it. However, the dreary weather is cause for my dreary outfit including the sensible shoes.

OOTD – HAPPY FRI-YAY! December 7, 2012

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I hope your day is going well and that plans for the weekend are in full gear – enjoy! My mother-in-law is doing well and I thank you for all your prayers. Tonight the boys and I will be visiting taking a small table-top Christmas Tree to brighten up the room and raise her spirits. All week I have been psyching myself up to start decorating and have decided that tomorrow is the day, oh Lord. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like decorating for the holidays, it just getting motivated to start because I HAVE TOO DAMN MUCH. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen pics of just a few bins of Christmas decorations that are in my basement’s crawlspace. When my sons were younger, they were all gung-ho and couldn’t wait to help – now it’s like pulling teeth and hubby is a Muslim so he only helps to put the boxes away, the majority of the work falls on me. The older I get the more I understand why people paid others to decorate their homes, remember this episode from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”?

It’s not as cold as I expected but there’s a cold rain falling so I bundled up with a scarf for casual Friday.

OOTD – Winter Wednesday December 5, 2012

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope your day is proceeding according to plans.

Today we are experiencing more unseasonably warm weather but the temps are expected to plummet tonight with a cold blast of winter winds. This weekend I’ll sort through my “bin o sweaters” to determine which ones I’ll kept and which ones to donate. I am not looking forward to the cold weather ahead but it’s the price we pay for living on the east coast.

OOTD – Black and White Monday December 4, 2012

Hello friends and Happy Monday…Tuesday sorry – yesterday’s post was dedicated to my mother-in-law so I didn’t feature an outfit of the day. Before I begin I want to thank everyone for their comments as well as prayers because I do believe in the power of it! Yesterday she had a good day and although her body is weak and frail her mind is sharp and active – so keep on praying.

Monday’s outfit was a combo of black and white but I need to use splashes of color, I’ll be looking for some colorful scarves at Goodwill or maybe Plato’s Closet . I have never gone to a Plato’s Closet although there is one in Exton just a few miles from my job, and there is also one about a mile from The Hospice on Limestone Road, I’ll check one of them.

Scarf and Cowl neck top – closet staples // Houndstooth skirt – Goodwill // Black Studded Pumps – Goodwill

I wore a bunch of silver bangles, a pair of silver earrings and silver ring with a red stone, the only splash of color – lol

Again, thank you so much for praying – have a wonderful evening – Smooches!

OOTD – Totally Thrifted Tuesday (almost) December 4, 2012

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

It’s a warm December day in the Delaware Valley and I hope it’s the same “in your neck of the woods” – I love Al Roker! Saturday my girlfriend told me about her daily Zumba workout so last night I pulled up some YouTube videos and tried it. Man oh man it was an awesome workout, I loved it and will definitely try it every night to fight off these excess lbs that have attached themselves to my body!

Today’s outfit is almost totally thrifted, the blouse, skirt and shoes were all thrifted from Goodwill

Reversible Two-Tone Belt – Avon // – Necklace & Earring Set – Jewelrymax.net // Watch – Joan Rivers Collection via QVC outlet

This afternoon, I may pull out my sneakers from under my desk and go for a brisk walk.

OOTD – Sunny Saturday December 1, 2012

Hello friends and Happy Saturday – December 1st – wow where did November go? Today was a beautiful, warm and sunny day made even brighter with a visit from my girlfriend Weyata and her pretty little ladies – Ashleigh, Rochelle, Hannah and Maggie. It had been such a long time since I last saw my twin “nieces”, Ashleigh and Rochelle, I couldn’t get over how big they had gotten. I still remember getting the call from Weyata at 2 in the morning to get to the hospital for their birth, they are now two lovely young ladies. They also have two more sisters Hannah who is a hoot, with a big personality and Maggie, who definitely is the “baby of the bunch” and makes sure everyone knows it.

My household chores were done before they arrived so after they left I had time to get to the nail salon.

Have a wonderful night – Smooches!

Suede Jacket – Goodwill // Animal Print Maxi Skirt – Goodwill // Knit Top – Ross // Boots – Rugged Wearhouse // Necklace – flea market vendor

Polka Dot Knit Top – Goodwill // Black Suede Skirt – Goodwill // Purple leather boots – Value City // Necklace – Jewlerymax.net

OOTD- It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas! November 27, 2012

This was my first blog post submitted via my Smartphone so the pictures are a little small.
