OOTD – Layering Leaves

Today is my “YAY-DAY” because tomorrow I’m off for a stay-ca-day to start the long Labor Day holiday weekend.  Today’s outfit is layered like the leaves on the lawn …. don’t go summer…please stay a wee bit longer (wiping away tears).  Not ready to put away the summer wear so I covered this spaghetti strap maxi with a front zip vest thrifted from Goodwill,  accented with a red belt from Ross.  Popping more of the red with earrings inherited from my lil sis who passed away in 1992, a bracelet from MizOutlet.com and covered one stone in my ring with red nail polish.  The polish is easily removed for a change of color to accent another outfit.  I thought about wearing red shoes but decided on these black and white stripped wedges from Marshalls.

Another “return” trip to Ross yesterday after work (remember this one) and found a few new beauty and “As Seen on TV” products.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Seen on TV Strutz Cushion Arch Supports; 1 size fits all men and women.  They have non-slip soles made of breathable fabric and can be worn barefoot, with sneakers, sandals or heels.  Hubby complained about his feet yesterday so I’ll ask him to try them out and give me a review, $7.99

Strutz Cushions As Seen on TV Cami Secrets in Zebra, Leopard and Cougar prints.  I previously purchased a 3-pack in solid colors (black, white and beige) and have worn them under low V-cut shirts/dresses.  They are light weight, cool and attaches easily to the bra straps, $6.99.

Cami Secret

Absolute! Make-up Cleansing Tissues, 33 per pack with Pomegrante Extract.  There are 8 more cleansing cloths than most other brands, cleans well and cost only $2.99.

Hollywood Fashion Secrets Accessory Dots with Bonus Fashion Tape.  “When you don’t need a lot, use a dot!”  I have always wanted to try this product, according to the packaging it can eliminate gaps in your tops/wrap dresses; hold straps; adjust hemline/length; secure necklines, scarves and accessories.  $2.99 for 25 double stick tape dots and a bonus 6 strips of fashion tape.

Hollywood Accessory Dots

Remember when plastic hangers replaced wire ones and we all loved them….well now they are being replaced with velvet hangers which are better.  Keeps delicate clothing and straps from falling off, gives more room in the closets (for all those hauls and are great for hanging accessories, belts, scarves and jewelry.  20 pack for $9.99.

“NO MORE WIRE HANGERS” – Joan Crawford, Mommy Dearest

And the reason for my return trip – an exchange for these!

Rampage Faux Suede and Snake Skin pumps with 4.5″ heel and 1″ platform – $18.99.

OOTD – Travel to Bethlehem, PA

Today I had to travel to Bethlehem for a job assignment and it afforded me the opportunity to dress down for the day.  I didn’t wear these shoes but did like how they matched the shirt, both of which were purchased from Ross at different times.   The commute to Bethlehem was 218 miles, in the car for 4-hours, traffic backed up on the way north definitely put a HUMP in my day.  However, my assignment was completed by noon and I was home before 3:00.

Before heading home, I walked the Office Park and the surroundings provided me with calm and peaceful thoughts that made the commute a little less stressful.


OOTD – New Photographer of The Week

I am giving my son a reprieve this week and have enlisted hubby to take my pics – unfortunately he is not as good but I’d never say that to him.  Instead I will set up the tripod that I purchased on Saturday and learn to use the  timer on my camera!!!

OOTD – Black and White Day 4

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING!

REPEAT

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING!

REPEAT

Here we go again another excessive heat warning – PLEASE try to stay cool, hydrated and check on the elderly.

Summer is my favorite season and it’s on days like this that I would love to be home lounging around the pool instead of driving 3 hours a day adding exhaust fumes to an already damaged ozone layer!

Today is the 4th day of my black and white work week, and so far so good I haven’t spilled anything which is amazing since it seems like white always attracts dirt, I don’t know how Lisa Raye does it!

Deals at Ross

Today after work I stopped at Ross to make a return and took a few extra minutes to check out the latest health and beauty products. One thing about Ross is that there is always a small variety of hair care/body products, cosmetics and “As Seen On TV” items, but there is never an overstock of any of them. If you see something today it may not be there next week or it might never be stocked again but there is always a bargain to be found.

OOTD – Black & White and Loose All Over

Today’s outfit of the day features a skirt hubby gave me last year for Eid al-Fitr, which is the Islamic holiday celebrating the end of Ramadan. In addition to this Kimono Skirt he also ordered for me a few other skirts and tunics from EastEssence.com all of which I love. This white, cotton, wrap skirt is very flattering and the hand-stitched embellishment, piping around the pockets and buttons really enhances the look. This is a large which is my normal size and it falls loosely over the hips and is not binding, I would have worn my shirt tucked in as shown on the website but you can see my underwear so I decided against it – hubby agreed!
