Colorful Weekend Wear August 2, 2014

Hello friends, and welcome to the weekend!

I wanted to show you a dress that I had bought in early May at Ross Dress for Less. I originally had planned on wearing it at my son’s Graduation Party, but it was too see-through so I had to wear something else.

This however, would be perfect as a swimsuit cover-up, what do you think? I love the vibrant colors and embellishments in this gauze dress.

The orange sandals were a purchased from Charlotte Russe and are uber comfortable.

This tie-dye print can be worn with a variety of playful accessories.

This colorful, casual summer dress is perfect for weekend wear, when you are just hanging around the house, what do you think?

Totally Thrifted Tuesday | OOTD May 27, 2014

Hello Friends, I trust you all had a happy and safe holiday weekend! I am back to work after being off since Thursday and needless to say it is tough getting back into the routine. This outfit is what I wore last Tuesday and with the exception of the jewelry it is Totally Thrifted.

You might remember when I purchased this embroidered skirt and sleeveless tank last winter at Goodwill. It was during one of the many shopping trips I made looking for outfits for the 2014 Goodwill Runway Show. One of the things I like most about thrifting is you can oftentimes find items that are out of season knowing that they are right for when the weather changes. It was the dead of winter cold but I knew this skirt and tank would be perfect for work once the weather warmed.

These Jessica Simpson animal print, peep-toe shoes are one of my favorite pieces from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop.

In selecting the accessories, I decided to mix plastic bracelets with pearl necklaces and earrings. The goldtone watch is from Avon.

The floral embroidery on the skirt matches the patio cushions and umbrella from Home Depot. Speaking of which, did you have a nice Memorial Day weekend? What did you do? On Saturday, we had a graduation party for Malik and it was a blast, I’ll post more on about it on Thankful Thursday.

I think I’ll head over to see the ladies at Personal Style Linkup, Thrifters Anonymous and Lou Lou Girls. Have a wonderful day and we’ll chat tomorrow.

Stay Blessed ~ No Stress in 2014!
