Hello friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope you are having a productive and stress free day.  Last Saturday at GW Boutique aka Goodwill there was a 50% off all clothing sale.  I had thrifted the day before on Black Friday and saw a jacket that I liked, however, didn’t want to pay $8.00.  I decided to wait and if it was there the next day it was meant to be, it was as well as a few other items that are perfect to wear to work.

Polka Dot Black Friday

Hello Friends and Happy Cyber Monday, are you shopping online today?  There are a few items that I’d like to get but nothing major so I think I’ll wait until this evening or perhaps even after the holidays for deeper discounts.  On Black Friday I didn’t go to the mall instead I went to GW Boutique (Goodwill) in Middletown, it wasn’t crowded so I was able to take my time to find a few items knowing that I would return Saturday for the 50% off sale.

Dressbarn 3/4 sleeve blouse

Mix It Blouse

Style & Co. Polka Dot  Knit Top

Apt. 9 Brown and White Polka Dot Shirt Sleeve Blouse

All items were $3.75 each, I would have waited until Saturday but didn’t want the hassle of relocating them and I am not one who “hides” merchandise- lol

Givenchy Parfume Quilted tote – $2.00

Perfect size for carrying my iPad, note pad, wallet and cell phone

OOTD – Totally Thrifted

Hello friends and Happy Monday before Thanksgiving 2012!

Weekends seem to fly by and this one was no exception especially since I spent most of yesterday washing and pressing all of my thrifted Goodwill goodies.  Sometimes I wonder how a silk blouse or cute skirt could have been donated but then I think about all the items I’ve donated over the years and say, “yep, it was too small, too big or my closet is just too full!”

I simply adore these shoes and am amazed that I found them in blue as well – jackpot!

Black skirt was previously thrifted from Goodwill in Exton, PA and the belt was purchased back in the ’80’s

OOTD – Throw On Thursday

Hello friends and Happy Thursday, the 1st day of November 2012.  Prayers still going up for all those affected by Hurricane Sandy, may God/Allah provide you with much needed strength during this time.

Speaking of time…it is now flying with less than a month until Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday of the year!  This transitional weather makes it’s too warm for me to wear a coat but too cold for just a sweater.  This morning I threw on a shawl which is actually a large scarf that once belonged to my sister, it’s more than 20 years old yet very timeless.  Every time I wrap it around me I  can still feel the warmth of my sister’s embrace – RIP Gloria!

OOTD – A Little Bit Country

Hello friends and Happy Hump Day and Halloween Wednesday.  

I am finally back to work after being off since last Thursday and it’s all good in the neighborhood!  This denim riveted skirt has been hanging in my closet for almost a year, hubby gave it to me and I love the big side pockets.  I was in search of a pair of booties from Goodwill but found these at Rugged Wearhouse for $10.00 (woohoo).  I am not overly impressed with the pairing of the shirt, so my next search will be of a plaid to give the outfit a more country look, right now it’s a little Gypsy!

QVC Outlet

I’ve been working in West Chester, PA for almost 7 years, yet had never gone to the QVC Outlet which is less than 10 miles from the office. Today seemed like a perfect day to get out and window shop because I vowed not to buy any clothing in October. I am not a Monk and I broke my vow with a few items that were too hard to resist. Truth be told I was specifically looking for the Wendy Williams’ Adorn line, but they didn’t have it, must be too new.

The QVC Outlet has a lot of great bargains including summer season clothing marked 70% off, purses and shoes 60% off, home decor 40% off and jewelry 60% off. There was a very large assortment of purses, however, none of them “spoke to me” so none of them came home with me. I did fall in love with a pair of Anne Klein Kitten Heels and had to decide between black, beige or grey/lilac. I chose the grey/lilac because I’ve never had this color, and the price was right at only $20.48. I also purchased a Susan Graver skirt, $8.84; a Joan Rivers watch, $13.94; and a Melania Trump charm bracelet, $14.68, total with tax was $59.46. Now no more shopping until November, must only shop my closet!!!

Seasonal Home Decor – 40% off

This dress would look great with a pair of boots – $8.12

Shoes and too many purses to chose just one – so got none!

Aren’t these adorable?

I purchased the watch and skirt

Had to take picture of this customer’s boots – she purchased them from T.J. Maxx for $39.00, I hope they have them next month!!!

Have a fantabulous weekend – Smooches!

OOTD – Work Week Skirt Week – Last Day

Happy Thursday my friends, I hope you are having a stress-free productive day.  This is the last day of skirt week because tomorrow I will be traveling and won’t be in the office.  I still have a lot more to wear but I did find several that will be sold at next month’s Flea Market.  This weekend I may tackle the shoes but if not, it will definitely be done before the end of the month.

This skirt still had the price tag on it, clearance for $7.98, from Burlington Coat Factory and I almost didn’t wear it.  It’s ruffled on the sides and I thought it might accentuate my thighs but the color matched the shoes (purchased here) so I cut the tag and wore it.  The multi color top is a closet staple as is the jewelry (because I can’t remember where purchased).

I picked up this cloth fan at Dollar Tree to keep in my purse for those “personal summer” moments!

Have a blessed day ~Smooches!


OOTD – Work Week Skirt Week – Day 3

Happy Hump Day Wednesday….let the countdown begin.  Why do I wish my life away by rushing the week to get to the weekend?  I need to be more conscience of that and simply enjoy each day because they are not promised.  Today’s outfit is once again not thrifted even though it didn’t start out that way.  The first skirt I put on was from Goodwill but it was a little too tight….gotta watch those carbs!!  I love the color burgundy for the fall and have read that it’s the color for the season, that and “oxblood”.  Who in the world cut an ox and then decided to use the color of the blood to describe clothing – where in the world do you find an ox anyway?

The multi-color skirt was purchased last month from Boscov’s (remember this sale) and I paired it with the burgundy top from Ross or Marshalls.  Picking up the mustard color in the skirt with the xhilaration sandals via Target.  Necklace and earring set from Jewelrymax.net as well as rhinstone, butterfly ring.  The tri-color metal bracelet is from my jewelry box (which means I can’t remember where it was purchased).

Have a wonderful day and make the most of it, I’ll try to do the same.
