Thankful Thursday

Hello Friends and Happy Thankful Thursday

Last month I received a wonderful gift-from-the-heart from a fellow blogger who will remain nameless, but it gave me an opportunity to “pay it forward”.  Sharing your blessings not only makes you feel good but it can also make you look good too!

 Both and top and corduroy skirt were thrifted from Goodwill

WIWW – ShapeFX Pencil Skirt

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

Last month I ordered two pencil skirts which were on clearance for $5.00 each from the Ultimate Outlet catalog.   This was the first time I’ve ever worn anything with a built in Bodyshaper, and must admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and fit.

ootd 9 19 13 013 This ShapeFX skirt was very comfortable and the bodyshaper lining did not ride up thanks to the elasticity in the band.  It gripped my thighs tightly and didn’t show any lines.

ootd 9 19 13 014 The skirt is a neutral color which works well with practically everything in my closet.  I am already thinking about wearing it again this winter with an over-sized sweater and my brown knee-high suede boots.

ootd 9 19 13 012 I chose to wear this multi-color, bat-wing sleeve  top that I had purchased from Boscov’s and carried my Cognac Tote which was purchased as part of that large shoe haul at Target, remember?

This pencil skirt had a nice fit, it hugged where it needed and was loose where it counted which is always a consideration when choosing clothes to wear to work.

ootd 9 19 13 018 I will definitely be online looking for more $5.00 clearance skirts from Spiegel’s Ultimate Outlet online catalog.  What do you think?

Hope you are having a fantabulous day – Smooches!

OOTD – Zebra Print in the Wilds of West Chester, PA

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!

For this post I asked a co-worker to take the pictures in order to give my sons a break.  Sometimes they complain even though I provide them with food, shelter, water and lots of love! 

As you know I work in West Chester, PA, and similar to the Marlton office it is surrounded by greenery which makes for a better background than my backyard.

This outfit was simple black and white, a classic combination.

OOTD – Mellow Monday

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

There definitely should be an extra day between Saturday and Sunday because trying to squeeze in chores and relaxation into two can be exhausting!  I trust you all had an enjoyable weekend and hopefully are half way through a stress free Monday.

Today’s outfit is a simple two piece skirt and sleeveless tank that I must have bought about 10 years ago and thanks to the elastic waistband, I will probably have it another 10 years!

Give Me My Flowers While I'm Living

Give Me My Flowers While I’m Living 

(click to listen)

In this world today while we’re living
Some folks say the worst of us they can
But when we are dead and in our caskets
They always slip some lilies in our hand

    Won’t you give me my flowers while I’m living
And let me enjoy them while I can
Pleae don’t wait till I’m ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand

In this world is where we need our flowers
A kind word to help us get along
If you can’t give me flowers while I’m living
Then please don’t throw them when I’m gone
