OOTD – Red White & Polka Dot Blue

Hello friends

I hope you are enjoying the day and all is good in your neighborhood.  I still haven’t decided as to where we will be going to see fireworks.  We will either go to Wilmington and see Macy Gray, or downtown Middletown or maybe just stay home and watch WaWa Welcome America featuring Kevin Hart, The Roots, Ne-Yo, Jill Scott, and others.

  Where do you go to see 4th of July fireworks?

OOTD – Totally Thrifted

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

I’ve been MIA due to a snafu with GoDaddy for Web Hosting and the transferring of my domain – things just didn’t go well so I’m back!  Today is the end of the work week for me because tomorrow is the HOLIDAY – YAY and we are closed on Friday.

What are your plans for Independence Day?  I haven’t made any yet because of the weather, it has been raining since Sunday.  I hope the sun will make an appearance at least one day this weekend so I can  fire up the grill and lounge poolside.

Tuesday’s outfit was totally thrifted from GW Boutique.

WOW – After the Storm

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

After yesterday’s round of torrential rains that caused major flooding, today turned out to be a perfect Spring day.  A great day to sit in the park or take a leisurely walk.  Whatever you have planned for the day make sure to spend a little time outdoors before the heat of summer begins.

Fashion and Fun From The 60’s

I was born in 1961, the decade known for free love, drugs, Go-Go Girls, Rock and Roll, The Vietnam War, Civil Rights, Hippies, the Birth Control Pill, The Peace Corp, Dr King, President Kennedy, assassinations, integration, Space Explorations, Cuban Missile Crisis, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Beverly Hillbillies, Afros, Crew Cuts, and of course the vibrant and colorful world of fashion.

The Past Is a Blast is a website that has culminated fun and interesting facts about the ’60’s, including popular music, dances, sports figures, politicians even the minimum wage, which at the time was just a $1.00, go check it out.

I was too young to fully understand it all but do remember that I loved the fashion and styles of the ’60’s, the bell bottoms, platform shoes, neon colors, color blocking and pattern mixing…hey, isn’t that the style of today?
