Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.
Today is Tayair’s first day of work – Yay, Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of adulthood! He was hired as a seasonal employee for Amazon.com and will be packing those wonderful holiday gifts being shipped from Delaware.
Today is also “Preppy Day” at Appo High School and here’s Malik’s version of being preppy.
Today was also the first time I used the tripod and timer and I must admit that it’s harder smiling for a camera when there is no one behind it – lol

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday. Now before you begin…I know…these tights look horrendous with this outfit! Yes, I did look in the mirror and Yes, I tried on several pairs of shoes before settling on this pair but I walked out of the house like this anyway! Oh well, I’ll chalk it up to a “never wear this combo again” hmmm, maybe should have worn flesh tone hose instead…

Hello friends and Happy Monday. Today we celebrate Veterans Day and I salute all active and inactive members of the armed forces as well as remembering those who are no longer with us.
THANK YOU!
I have yet to set up the camera on the tripod and use the timer so I don’t have an full picture of today’s outfit. I simply paired a white top and black slacks with a black and white blazer thrifted from Goodwill. I threw on a pair of black leather clogs which never go out of style and are comfortable any time of the year.

Hello friends and Happy Sunday – be blessed today and always!
What a beautiful day, it’s amazing how good you feel when sunshine bathes your face especially after a long week! I hadn’t been to church in over a month so I was up bright and early this morning even with another dull headache.
Today’s outfit is totally thrifted, sleeveless LBD and Houndstooth blazer from Goodwill and Carlos Santana leather pumps from the Salvation Army.
Happy Veteran’s Day and have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
I don’t know about you but I feel drained and exhausted – events leading up to and the final day of 2012 Election really wore me out – thank God it’s over!!!! It was especially nice driving to work this morning without seeing the negative anti-Obama signs and billboards. I hope they got their money’s worth because I never saw it from the Dems and we were victorious.
Last week my youngest son cleaned out his closet and gave me clothes that he no longer wanted to be donated. This black and beige argyle sweater was a gift to him last year and now I have it back. He definitely won’t be getting any new sweaters from me this year!

Hello friends and Happy Thursday! Yesterday’s snow in our area wasn’t bad so the commute home was stress free with light traffic. Today, “Friday Eve”, I am really looking forward to the weekend because I have several inside and outside chores that will have my undivided attention. If you follow me on Instagram (ablake48), this is the skirt that was thrifted from Goodwill on Saturday. Initially I wanted to pair it with an oversize tan sweater but instead chose black to feature the matching belt.
Today I am carrying my new Miche’ Lexi-Prima purse with the giraffe print and it is so roomy and jazzy looking. This weekend I will post more about this great purse line because I’ll be hosting an online party for the holidays so stay tuned.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday. The weather forecast for this afternoon and evening is high winds mixed with a dusting of snow. Instead of the dress I had prepared to wear I chose to be uber comfortable in a pair of pants and flats. These blue wing tips were purchased in the early 2000’s and are the most comfortable loafers that I’ve ever owned. Blue side zipper pants paired with a long sleeve t-shirt in honor of President Obama’s reelection makes my casual outfit for the day.
I hope the snow holds off long enough for me to get into the state of Delaware because I hate driving in bad weather especially in the dark.
Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!
