Hello friends,
welcome to week 22 of “You Choose the Shoes“. Next Saturday I begin the dreaded task of cleaning out closets, donating items that I no longer want or fit and of course changing out the summer shoes for fall and winter ones. I have already started wearing a few pairs as evidenced by today’s contest, but before we begin, let’s see who last week’s winner was:
Ladies and Gentlemen, for the 2nd time this season, the DSW Polka Dot Peep Toes Win!!!!
Thank you all for your votes and of course your comments, I always love reading what you have to say. Now for this week the contest is between Suede and Snakeskin pumps, two of my favorite fall shoes.
The Chinese Laundry Suede pumps are another purchase from DSW, and the faux Snakeskin pumps are from Target. The leopard print insoles are from Dollar Tree.
I purchased these Chinese Laundry pumps several years ago, I love the tie accent in the back.
This skirt is from Spiegel and top was purchased from Marshall’s also several years ago.
Pattern mixing with these faux Snakeskin pumps which were part of a major shoe haul from Target.
Okay, so which pair do you like better with the top, because the skirt is so neutral, any shoe would work with it.

Will it be the Snakeskin, OR
Will it be the suede?
This is an interchangeable Miche’ purse which I ordered from a rep at a holiday Open House a few years ago, as a matter of fact most of my outfit is at least 2 years old. I haven’t bought too many new items this year thanks to Malik’s High School graduation party and college tuitions!

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.
Here we are again at another week of “You Choose The Shoes” and I am delighted that so many of you have commented that you look forward to this weekly feature. Trust me, I am enjoying it as much as you are and since I have so too many pairs of shoes, this is going to last for quite some time, at least until the first snow fall.
Now last week might have been a “gimme” because of the statement I made about the black and white sandals from Avon, so you know who won right?

This week’s contenders are once again regulars to the party, they are Avon versus Target
Open toe versus closed toe but they are both patent leather.
This is one of many sheath dresses purchased from Burlington Coat factory and tomorrow’s post will be featuring more of these summer sheath dresses.
Are you ready to choose, will it be the purple and black color block pumps from Avon
– or –
The black patent leather pumps from Target?
Yes, they are both comfortable and in cases like this, I wish I could wear them both! So let’s take one more look shall we…
Leave me a comment below with the pair you chose and why, then come on over and visit the ladies at Whitney’s Personal Style Linkup, see ya later.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day!
The winner of last week’s “You Choose the Shoe” was the
Polka Dot Pumps from DSW!
Now it’s week 2 so it’s time for you to choose this week’s shoe, and no, I haven’t gotten a pedicure yet so don’t look too hard!
Will it be the blue Fioni Pumps from Kmart
or
Grey Pump from Ross Dress for Less?
Both the top and skirt has been in my closet for such a long time that I can’t remember where purchased. I think the bracelet set was purchased either at Rugged Wearhouse or Burlington Coat Factory.
Have you decided yet?
Look down at the shoes…
…Now look up at the outfit
Okay, Which Shoes Did You Choose?
The winner will be revealed next week!
I’ll be linking up with Whitney Nic James, so come on over when you get a chance.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
It’s going to be another cold weekend so I’m staying indoors to do some early Spring cleaning…yes, I’m even doing the boring chores. I don’t know about you, but I am super anxious for the warmer weather to get here so I can shed the layers and put away the snow shovel. Even though we have several more months before we get to that point, I wanted to at least get a jump start on it now.
I refuse to let the wintery winds of January stop me from thinking about or even shopping for the Spring season because now is the best time to do so. I recently signed up as an affiliate for Hannah Jane, a new online boutique with some great clothing and accessories at affordable prices. I found a few cute pieces on sale/clearance that I will be adding to my Spring wardrobe, take a look and let me know what you think.
I recently saw a fellow blogger in a classic white T-shirt, so I want to incorporate them into my wardrobe. This Yellow Bubble necklace would be a perfect accessory to jazz it up.
Fuchsia is such a fun Spring color and in jeans it will be great for a casual Friday outfit.
You know that I love all things Polka Dot and this top paired with a Houndstooth infinity scarf would be great to wear on an early chilly Spring morning or evening.
Or would it look better with the red scarf?
You definitely can’t go wrong with a White or Ivory button down blouse and I wish they had this skirt in stock!
I immediately feel in love with this striped comfy, casual knit dress. I could wear it with boots as shown or with pumps to work or even with ballet flats to run errands on the weekend. What do you think?
We do have a few months of cold weather ahead, so I’ll wear a turtleneck underneath this sweater.
AND… I finally found a pair of riding boots in my price range!
The great thing about shopping at Hannah Jane, other than the prices is that they offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $50, and a flat $4.99 rate for orders under $50.
If you get a chance, head over to their website and take advantage of the 20% off one item sale and if you sign up for the Newsletter you’ll get an additional discount off of your first order. #winning

I make money on some products and services that I talk about on this website through affiliate relationships with the merchants in question. I get a small commission on sales of those products. That in no way affects my opinion of those products and services.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
My youngest will be entering High School as a Senior which means no more standing at the bus stop in the rain…he drives, and no more back to school shopping…he wouldn’t be caught dead shopping with his mother…besides he has his own Debit Card.
His last year in High School is bittersweet but it doesn’t mean I can’t go “Back to School Shopping” and take advantage of the end of the season sales.
I may not be doing this…
But I can do this…
Which is what I did at TJ Maxx and Burlington Coat Factory!

Jessica Simpson Wedge Shoes @ TJ Maxx

Floral Dress – $15.00

Black & White Stripped Maxi – $19.99

Unlisted loafers – $19.99

Bandolino Blue Patent Leather Wedges – $19.99

I didn’t purchase, but these Bandolino pumps were so comfy @ $24.99

Leaving TJ Maxx I saw Barbie, a true fashionista, whose skirt and top were purchased at Nzinga’s Boutique. A perfect outfit to wear out and about running errands or shopping (s/o to Steve aka Ken – lol)

Next I drove down Naamans Road to Burlington Coat Factory at the Tri State Mall

Maxi Dress – $14.98

Floral hi-low dress – $6.98

Infinity Scarf $5.98

Infinity Scarf – $4.98
I also purchased a pair of CitiClassifed Pumps ($9.98) and Yellow Evening Bag ($7.98) – I love clearance racks just as much as thrifting!
Next year we will be paying College tuition so there will be no more Back to School Shopping for me, also bittersweet!
Have you done any Back to School shopping or taken advantage of the end of season sales?

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!
Today is going to be another hot and steamy day, and this is actually Heatwave #4. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen the 5-day forecast for the Delaware Valley – HOT HOT and HOTTER. The Meteorologist stated he preferred the cold and snow of winter but I love the heat of the summer. Deciding what to wear isn’t a challenge since I’m in an air conditioned car or office most of the day and I was going to wear all black but decided to throw in a little pink.
7:00 am and the sun is shining brightly
Which do you prefer, the cold of Winter or the heat of Summer?
Love my Pink & White pumps from Rugged Wearhouse
Tank – GW Boutique // Pencil Skirt – Walmart
Enjoy your day and stay cool – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
3.13.13 and it’s still Winter but Spring is right around the corner and I’m frantically trying to wear as many of my winter clothes before it’s officially over!
You may remember when I wore this skirt with brown booties in November (here), but today I chose to wear it with beige pumps to lighten it up a bit.
I would also like to thank my Bloggy friends who co-signed on Tuesday’s Testimony, when we are of one accord blessings pour down like rain!
Don’t ever be afraid to testify – you never know, it might help somebody!
I love this brush suede skirt because it’s style is fashionable for a woman of my age and it fits to a “T” with a perfect length. So glad someone donated it to the GW Boutique (Goodwill). I am going to say the same for these pumps which are also classic in style and just the right heel height because I might cut back on higher heels…NOT!
Necklace – Jewelymax.net // Silver Hoops – Walmart // Bracelet and Ring – jewelry box
Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday
This morning’s Church service was good, unfortunately the building was without heat but our souls was warmed by the Word. I hope the rest of your day goes well and if you are off tomorrow for Dr. King’s Birthday, (I’m not), enjoy and be a blessing to someone!

I was really excited to realize that the Miche bag I had purchased in November at the Holiday Open House, matched the shoes that I purchased from Target last week. Don’t you love when that happens?

Hello Friends and Happy Monday
I hope you had a nice weekend and are ready for the week before Christmas 2012. I’m in a mellow mood which may be attributed to Friday’s events and the weekend news reports or perhaps it’s the dreary weather. Whatever the reason, it is definitely a melancholy Monday.
Today’s outfit is totally thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill) except the Pashima, purchased from Boscov’s
