Hello Friends and Happy Saturday
This was my casual First Friday attire – Polka Dots, Pink Suede and “Pearls”. The pink glitter earrings were gifted last year from a jewelry company, SweetLikeCake.com however, I could no longer find them online.
I hope you have a good day, I’m off to do my Saturday chores and looking forward to watching Saturday Night Live tonight, Kevin Hart is hosting and it’s going to be HILARIOUS!!! They should have booked Robin Thicke as the musical guest with surprise appearances by JB Smooth, Boris Kodjoe and Nick Cannon – it would be a Real Husbands of Hollywood special.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-YAY!
The first day of March…another day the Lord hath made…the first weekend of the month…it’s all good in the neighborhood!
Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? Me not so much, going to Home Depot or Lowes with hubby in search of a replacement kitchen sink faucet, (finally stopping a water leak), then doing our income taxes – Woohoo lucky lucky me!
Well at least I had fun yesterday at The Money School’s Awards Luncheon where I met some great people including Governor Markell. The Money School provides some wonderful free programs in the state and it was nice to see them recognize people who help in this effort, I can’t wait to post the details.
Earlier in the day my son and I drove into town to his orthodontic’s office.
Worthington high waist skirt was purchased from JC Penny on clearance for $5.00!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.
Yeah yeah yeah, we are on the down stroke to the weekend! I really have to stop rushing my life away, every day is a new day to be cherished and savored, but ding dang dong it – I LOVE THE WEEKENDS!!!
I also love OLIVES, I love the color OLIVE and I love the vegetable… or is it a fruit…OLIVES …hey…in what food group is an OLIVE?
I do know that olives are a staple in the Mediterranean diet which has been scientifically confirmed that it reduces the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases by 30 percent and is great for people trying to lose weight. I only cook with light Virgin Olive Oil, have used it as a hair care product and if I drank Martinis I would do it only for the OLIVES!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday.
I hope you had a nice weekend and that your Monday was productive and stress free.
My weekend was nice starting with attending the C.O.D.E. Conference on Saturday, which was an awesome event for small business owners. Does your city or state provide free conferences or seminars for the advancement of their small business owners?
Sunday I didn’t attend church instead lounged around getting some much needed R&R and then afternoon shopping with my son which was a rare treat for me, he’s at the age when being with mom is not cool. I remember praying for a boy each time I was pregnant, but sometimes I wish I had a girl to shop with especially now that my grandmother is no longer with me. She and I loved to hang out…shopping for bargains…eating out …laughing…just having fun…I really miss her, which is why I started blogging.
This morning I heard birds chirping and the weather has been so mild. With little to no significant snow I’m hoping Mother Nature isn’t trying to lull us into a false sense of “it’s Spring”! Remember the catch phrase, “it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature”, well I hope she reciprocates.
Today I am wearing the Posh.mina that I reviewed (here) last month and because it’s one of my favorite colors it will definitely become a closet staple in high rotation.

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
I was born in 1961, so it seems strange to use the term “throwback” when referring to the 1980’s, but it is. Today’s outfit is totally thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill) but from two different decades. The blue and white Houndstooth blazer was thrifted in 1989, which you can probably tell by the Dynasty/Falcon Crest shoulder pads. Remember when they introduced Dianne Carroll as Dominique Deveraux; or the pool fight scene or the first time the “B” word was used, or when they went crazy after Rock Hudson revealed he had AIDS? Man oh Manischewitz, that was definitely some “must see TV!”

The skirt and shoes were just thrifted last year however, the styles make them look a little dated as well. The white shell earrings were purchased at Rehoboth Beach also in the ’80’s and match the buttons on the blazer.

Romantic Soles Blue Pumps – GW Boutique // Blue side slit skirt – GW Boutique // Blue and White Houndstooth Blazer – GW Boutique // Ring – Avon // Earrings – Rehoboth Beach shop // Bracelets – Burlington Coat Factory // Tote – Target // Scarf – old

Hello Friends, I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday.
It appears as though everyone is back to work because the commute was slow and I drove even slower trying to save gas. Can you believe the prices, I last paid $3.65 for a gallon and it’s goes up a few cents every day. How much is it in your area?
My commute is 100 miles round trip and it is definitely putting a dent in my wallet, so to save money I have vowed not to shop until April when the prices are supposed to drop. The economic recovery is no where near where it should be and these gas prices aren’t helping! Before my self imposed shopping freeze I was able to snag two skirts from JC Penney’s for $5 each and am wearing one of them with a thrifted top and blazer.

Liz Claiborne Collection Skirt – JC Penney // Oxblood Top – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Black Blazer – GW Boutique
Necklace and Earrings – Payless // Ring – Avon // Hose – Walmart
The Merona pumps were part of the clearance shoe haul from Target.

Hello Friends and Happy Valentines Day 2013!
I’m sending you a virtual rose, a loving heart and a chocolate kiss!
I don’t spend a lot of money for Valentine’s Day, and every year my men know to only expect a small box of chocolates and a card at their table setting. They reciprocate but include a dozen red roses, and when the boys were younger the card would be homemade and I have even kept a few – somewhere.
Everyday I kiss and tell my hubby and sons that I love them and today will be no different, but I do like the significance of this holiday and enjoy wearing red (and eating candy). However, this morning I had a difficult time deciding on my outfit, first changing my skirt and then the shoes and scarves.


Which scarf and shoes do you like better?

Roses are red…
