OOTD – Rainy Days and Tuesdays
Breathe in through the nose….blow out through the mouth….again….breathe in through the nose….hold it….hold it….now….breathe out pushing hard… Whew – I love shortened work weeks but sometimes it can be a bit much especially since I was also off last Friday and will be off again this Thursday. Last Monday’s post was entitled “Rainy Days and Mondays”, and a tribute to The Carpenters, today’s post is “Rainy Days and Tuesdays” a tribute to Summer 2012. If you live on the East coast, one thing we can all agree upon is that Summer 2012 was extremely hot AND Summer 2012 went by extremely too fast! I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time poolside and even lucked out on Friday and got one last day before the weather turned. There probably won’t be anymore 90 degree, lazy, hazy pool days this month and next month I will have the pool closed. The rain is supposed to continue here until Thursday and I hope it’s the same forecast in Charlotte, North Carolina. President Obama’s acceptance speech is outdoors and it would be terrible for people to be standing outside in the rain, so prayers going up for good weather!
I am wearing another shift dress from Burlington Coat Factory, which I love because it can be worn all seasons by simply adding a blazer or cardigan in the fall and then tights and boots in the winter.
Toes are going to stay out until it starts to snow – sike! These Fioni shoes were purchased last year from Payless and are very comfortable. Bracelet and earrings are jewelry box staples, the ring is my birthstone, Sapphire – September…Virgo….yeah!!! Necklace purchased over the weekend from Rugged Wearhouse for $1.49!!!!
Although we didn’t leave town or go on vacation this summer, I must admit that it was very nice to have mini staycations because it allowed me to spend quality time with my men. Looking forward to cooler temps and beautiful colors of fall. Have a fantabulous day and stay dry!
Apple Bottoms purse was also purchased last year from Burlington Coat Factory
OOTD – Heading to Church
God’s morning, I hope your week started off well and that you are having a wonderful day. To church I wore this multi print shift dress purchased last year from Burlington Coat Factory. I took a light weight cardigan because I was taught that when seated your dress should fall over your knees, if not, make sure you have something to cover them – gotta love old skool teachings!

Yea, today is my “FRI-YAY” because tomorrow I am off from work for my monthly staycation day. Tayair and I will hit up the DMV early to renew his license and then have his car inspected. I would love to go to the movies but with schools being closed the last thing I want to do is stand in a long line for MIB3, even though I want to see it – I love me some “Big Willy from Philly”!
I spent my lunch hour at Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop for her Memorial Days Blowout Sale and got some great buys that I will post later. While there I assisted a customer in selecting a dress and accessories for a wedding, it was a blast acting as a “fashion consultant”, it just might be my retirement career!
The official start of summer and yet it was another rainy overcast day, but we are blessed to have lived to see another one so the complaining stops here. Have a fan-tab-u-lous day!

OOTD – Sunny Sunday
Today God blessed us with a glorious sunny and warm Sunday. Heading to the grocery store I opted to wear a maxi dress instead of jeans but wore a top as it’s not warm enough for me just yet.

OOTD – Boots On but Tootsies Still Out
Just when we thought Spring had sprung, Winter decided to make a guest appearance.
Fortunately I hadn’t removed my boots from the closet so today I wore a pair with a Spring dress. For the fun of it I also tried on Booties and Red shoes but because of the rain, I stuck with the boots.
Wearing footless tights from Walmart I can say that my tootsies are still out!

My son has a good sense of fashion and an equally good sense for finding a bargain, he purchased the headphones on eBay.
As he heads out I not only think about his easy walk to the bus stop (stop sign across the street), but also that this may be his last year on the “Big Yellow School Bus”!
