OOTD & Wordless Wednesday-NOT!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.  This morning I had an hour long conversation with a cousin that I met only once, 12 years ago at my father’s funeral.  We talked and laughed as if we had spoken just last week.  Our conversation was enjoyable and we both learned a little more about each other and our families.  These days it seems as though personal letter writing or conversing on a LAN line has been replaced with texting, instant messaging, tweeting or facebooking.  We need to connect on a more personal level with family and friends especially as time marches on and our lives shorten.  Today I vow to call her more often as well as having live conversations with other family members and friends.

Dress – Burlington Coat Factory// Sweater – Ross// Shoes – The Shoe Department

Statement necklace – Flea Market Vendor for $1.00// Ring – Target// Earrings – jewelry box

Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!

OOTD – Popping Pink

Hello friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.  Like the sun that will be popping through the clouds this afternoon, I am popping a little pink with black.  Black Boots or Pink Pumps was the  dilemma this morning and I am not going to reveal which one I chose.  Tell me which one you like better?

OOTD – Work Week Skirt Week – Day 3

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.

OOTD – "It's All Greek To Me" – ΣΓΡ and ΩΨΦ Colors Blocked

Hello friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!  You know the days when you put on your clothes and something just doesn’t fit right, or in my case fits too tightly, well that was how my morning started.  As you know on Sunday nights I prepare my outfits for the week but today it was a “pull from the closet” morning.  I put on and then changed 3 skirts, 1 pair of pants, 1 pair of capris and 2 tops because none of them fit right…all too tight!! Not enough “labor” over the holiday, too many Michelobs and Seagrams so now it’s back to the elliptical with a vengeance and summer indulgences are a distant memory!!

After all those changes this is what I ended up wearing, an outfit that is color blocked with my Sorority colors Royal Blue and Gold, (ΣΓΡ ~ Sigma Gamma Rho), and hubby’s Fraternity colors Purple and Gold, (ΩΨΦ ~ Omega Psi Phi).

Top – Goodwill// Skirt – Old Navy// Belt – Rainbow Shops// Wedges – Marshalls

Bangles (separated ) by a large bracelet – Rainbow Shops// White Stone Ring – Avon // Earrings – Samsbeauty.com

I think I hid those extra pounds nicely!!

OOTD – Anchors Away

Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope you are having a peaceful yet productive day.  I am trying my hardest to wear as many summer outfits as possible before the cool days of Autumn arrive.  I have a feeling that like summer, the tempetures are going to be extreme but at the opposite end of the thermometer.  I haven’t worn this outfit (here) since the Spring when I was chosen “DC’s Friday Fashionista” (here).  It was after that post that I remembered the wheel in the garage, where it has been stored for over 20 years, guess it will soon become a yard sale item.  I vowed to include it if I ever wore the outfit again…and today is the day, it fits in with the Nautical Anchors Away theme.

This is also the first time wearing these wedge sandals, purchased online from Urbanog.com along with several other pairs in April (here).

Doesn’t the first shot look like I was saying, “don’t start nothing and there won’t be nothing!” – lol


OOTD – Foggy Morning

Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
I stayed up too late last night watching Chicagolicious and like the weather today my head is a little foggy. I had seen portions of a few episodes but never watched an entire show and couldn’t stay up last night either – I may have to check it out online. Today’s outfit has me feeling a little country, I only wished I had a a pair of cowboy boots, I’ll add that to my thrifting wish list.
