Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
Tonight I will be teaching the class, “Dressing for Success on a Budget’ sponsored by The Money School of Delaware. The premise being that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to look professional and how to have a “Champagne Closet with a Beer Budget”
As a self proclaimed frugal fashionista, I usually don’t pay full retail price for my clothing nor do I shop high end department stores or boutiques in a mall. Thrifting at Goodwill or The Salvation Army, hitting a local Consignment Shop, low end retail sales and clearance shopping is much more fun and is easier on my wallet.
Chain stores such as Ross, Marshall’s, TJMaxx, Burlington Coat Factory, Rugged Wearhouse, and Target understands the needs of women who want designer clothing but with lower prices.
I read fashion magazines and blogs and try to stay current with the latest trends but if I can recreate an outfit with thrifted items from Goodwill I most certainly will!
When my sons were younger, they only knew the “Mart Brothers” – Kmart and Walmart!
Shoes are definitely my weakness and I have too many pairs to count, but I never pay full price, not when there are ways to get Reward Points from stores such as DSW or coupons and AAA discounts at Payless and of course the clearance sales at Target!

JC Penney and Sears may not be top on your shopping list but they should be, especially for their end-of-season clearance sales, remember the Liz Claiborne jeans I found for a dollar? Kohl’s is also another great place to shop for clearance deals. Mixing thrifted items with new pieces can make a perfect outfit.

Also, don’t sleep on the cheapie cheap Dollar Stores either, places like Family Dollar, Dollar General and even Dollar Tree oftentimes have great accessories like leggings, tights, hats and scarves. Remember this Fedora that I bought last summer from Dollar Tree!

There are also great deals and bargains to be found online and from catalogs like eShakti, Spiegel and Avon all of which are my favorites.

If you are attending a fancy soiree, try a high end online site such as “Rent the Runway” or “Beg Borrow Steal” and in a pinch go to a Consignment Shop located in a high end neighborhood which is how I found a gown for a Ball that I attended last year.
Dressing for less doesn’t mean you can’t afford better, nor does it have be an embarrasing event, however, I must admit that it can be addictive, especially on $2 Tuesdays at Goodwill!
Where do you shop for your bargains?

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday
There’s something special about going to a Church Service on a Sunday morning after a sad Saturday night. The lifting up of prayers in the sanctuary and bonding brightens your day and provides clarity.
I thank God for being blessed and highly favored and wish the same for you,
MAY PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE UPON YOU MY BLOGGY FRIENDS!

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Today is actually my Friday as I will officially be on vacation starting at 5:00 p.m. today until next Tuesday- que up the Flintstone’s theme song – YabbaDabbaDoo!!! I can’t believe it’s the Memorial Day Weekend already, seems like only yesterday it was Easter. I guess it’s true what they say, the older you get the faster time passes. Oh and before I have another senior moment – Congratulations to all the parents of the Class of 2013, you did an excellent job and should be very proud of yourself!
Today’s outfit is a floral dress thrifted from GW Boutique and sandals from Payless, which by the way is having a major sale, and don’t forget to show your AAA Card for an additional 10% off.

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
I am so excited because tomorrow I will be attending my first Blogger’s Conference – The Blog Workshop. It’s an an online virtual 3-day/3 hour conference with some great topics and speakers and I am psyched!! I expect to gain the knowledge necessary to help me grow my blog and am looking forward to meeting other bloggers as well – will you be there?
The pool is now open and because The Blog Workshop begins in the evenings I’ll have plenty of time to work outside in preparation of the Memorial Day holiday.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.
Hubby’s day was nice and I want to thank you for all the birthday well wishes. I didn’t get the Walgreen’s Gift Card but did cook a wonderful meal, we had baked salmon, stuffed clams, steamed potatoes and coleslaw, dessert was a Lemon Meringue Pie which is his favorite.
I had hoped for warmer weather to wear this sleeveless BisouBisou Peplum top, but it’s a rainy drab day so I added a lightweight cardigan.

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
My normal daily commute into work is 90-minutes, but throw in a gapper delay or a car accident and it can easily turn into 2 hours which was the case this morning. My ultimate fantasy is to have one of those space cars that George Jetson drove…remember that 1960’s cartoon, The Jetsons?
Life is so unpredictable and I was granted traveling mercies for which I am blessed and truly thankful!
The weather has warmed up nicely and today is a beautiful Spring day.
Dress via JCPenney – On clearance for $6.40!

Today is Thankful Thursday

Hello Friends, I hope you had a great weekend and an enjoyable tax-free Monday!
I woke up this morning thinking it was Sunday. The weekend came and went with such quickness that I though we should have had one more day free from work, but no such luck! We did manage to get some yard work done before the heat returns because it is not fun pulling weeds and trimming trees in intense heat. I love this time of year with all the flora blooming but it reeks havoc on my son and his seasonal allergies. This was my grandmother’s favorite tree and every Spring she’d look outside and say, “Toni, did you take a picture of that tree” – I do miss her so!
Mama, here’s a picture of that tree.
These trees are on the side of the house, they bloom then change green in about 2 weeks.

I didn’t wear them to work because my knee is still swollen, but thought they would work with this outfit – what do you think?
Engjoy the rest of your day – Smooches!
