Fashion and Fun after Fifty
The rain has gone and the sun is shining brightly (in my eyes) ~ Spring colors are popping and today it’s Pink!

April, May and June Showers brings Spring Flowers!
The floral dress has me blending into the beautiful greenery of Spring, so I guess all those rain showers were worth it! I simply adore this dress which was recently purchased from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop, and I think the beaded bracelet adds to the 60’s retro look.

FRI-YAY ~ 1st DAY OF JUNE ~ END OF THE WORK WEEK!
It can’t get any better than that but I do hope that the rain holds off because tomorrow I plan on setting up a table at the Flea Market in Middletown. Over the past few weeks I have doing some serious purging around the house in hopes of making a few extra dollars, but anything that doesn’t sell will be donated to Goodwill!

I don’t remember where I purchased the bracelets and ring, but I bought the earrings from a shop in Rehoboth Beach back in the 80’s
When I saw this jacket at Goodwill I knew I had to have it even though it’s a size medium and a bit snug . Initially I thought about pairing it with a pair of pants or jeans but nothing I had seemed right. I was thinking of wearing it over a solid brown dress but then saw this dress hanging next to it screaming, “pick me pick me” and it turned out to be a better choice. Adding the animal print shoes was the icing on the cake , I love this outfit and the weather is definitely conducive to wear it – see how the breeze catches my dress in the first shot.

As stated in a previous post, when thrifing I don’t let larger sizes deter me from making a purchase because it can always be altered. This red and white polka dot top was a size 2X that I cut down using another shirt as a guide. I paired it with black and white polka dot capris also thrifted from Goodwill.

With only 3 weeks of school remaining my son is still telling me about events or special things happening at school. Trust me, I love the fact that my high school son still wants to share this part of his life with me, but why is it always last minute? Anywho, he tells me that he and his buddies have decided that the next 3 Wednesdays will be “Preppy Days” . I remember those days, we wore IZOD polo shirts with alligators on the chest, khaki pants, boat shoes, etc. My son has jeans, sweats and dress pants so yesterday I had to hit up the Goodwill in Exton, PA.
I got him 3 pairs of dockers and a pair of Banana Republic dress pants, with the price tag still attached ($98.00) for $3.75. I washed the dockers and threw the dress pants in the bag slated for the cleaners. Of course I also found myself a few things and hubby gave me his waist size just in case I came across more new slacks in his size….gotta love it, it gives me more of a reason to visit the Goodwill stores because it’s like a treasure hunt!

With all the rain this month the grass was saturated and my shoes and toes got a little wet, but fortunately they dried before I got to work. I recently purchased this dress from Goodwill because I liked the criss-cross back and the shoes match it perfectly. I love the colors of Spring.
