Hello friends and welcome to Sunday Stylin Roundup. I trust you all had a wonderful weekend. We are now into full Autumn attire and I finally got all my closets cleaned – yay me! I didn’t get an opportunity to wear all of my summer dresses but next week I am going to repost a DIY in which I cut the bodice off a dress to make it a maxi skirt. I’ll be doing a few more of them as some of the dresses are cut too low to wear without a cover-up.
Here are last week’s outfits.
These two outfits one I wore at the end of September and the other was early October which is still warm enough to wear peep toes and pencil skirts.
Pencil skirts are by far my favorite types of skirts and the color grey with the classic black and white works equally well with green and beige. The red necklace is from Rainbow Shops and the beige beads are from Walmart, they have a really nice $5 and $10 Statement necklace assortment #stockingstuffer.
I call this outfit “Back to Basics“, because the white cotton shirt and tie are reminiscent of my early corporate days at IBM. Believe it or not, I still have several of the clip on ties that I wore back in the early 80’s! The skirt is from Walmart and the purse is from Avon as is the bracelets and watch. I participated in iamfabellis #fabwerkwear Instagram roundup, so if you get a minute go check out the other lovely ladies in classic white work shirts.
Breaking out the infinity scarves which I have draped around a body-form in the guest bedroom, most of which were on clearance from Burlington Coat Factory, but Walmart also has a large selection as well, starting at $4.97.
Two of my favorite consigned pieces, the Jessica Simpson leopard print peep-toes shoes and this leopard print vintage purse. A simple top from Boscov’s and brown thrifted skirt made this outfit a mid-week special.
Another infinity scarf breaks of the basic blue skirt from JCPenney and green scoop top thrifted from Goodwill. I had forgotten about these Unlisted shoes from the Shoe Dept, but seemed to work well with the tote from Target as well as the thrifted pink clutch.
I ended the work week in a “Poncho and Pencil” skirt and pointy toe shoes from DSW. The pencil skirt and thrifted sleeveless tank were covered in a printed poncho from Boscov’s. I didn’t need to change up my purse as the tote from Target worked well. The accessories I chose were a wooden beaded necklace, a Flea Market find, and wood earrings from Claire’s.
So which outfit did you like the best?

Hello friends,
welcome to week 22 of “You Choose the Shoes“. Next Saturday I begin the dreaded task of cleaning out closets, donating items that I no longer want or fit and of course changing out the summer shoes for fall and winter ones. I have already started wearing a few pairs as evidenced by today’s contest, but before we begin, let’s see who last week’s winner was:
Ladies and Gentlemen, for the 2nd time this season, the DSW Polka Dot Peep Toes Win!!!!
Thank you all for your votes and of course your comments, I always love reading what you have to say. Now for this week the contest is between Suede and Snakeskin pumps, two of my favorite fall shoes.
The Chinese Laundry Suede pumps are another purchase from DSW, and the faux Snakeskin pumps are from Target. The leopard print insoles are from Dollar Tree.
I purchased these Chinese Laundry pumps several years ago, I love the tie accent in the back.
This skirt is from Spiegel and top was purchased from Marshall’s also several years ago.
Pattern mixing with these faux Snakeskin pumps which were part of a major shoe haul from Target.
Okay, so which pair do you like better with the top, because the skirt is so neutral, any shoe would work with it.
Will it be the Snakeskin, OR
Will it be the suede?
This is an interchangeable Miche’ purse which I ordered from a rep at a holiday Open House a few years ago, as a matter of fact most of my outfit is at least 2 years old. I haven’t bought too many new items this year thanks to Malik’s High School graduation party and college tuitions!
Have you made a decision yet?

Hello friends and Happy Thankful Thursday.
I don’t know about you, but with each new day I feel as though I can be a blessing to someone else. It can be as simple as retweeting an inspirational message or leaving a thoughtful comment. Stopping to have a conversation with a co-worker or even a stranger, a smile or just saying, “hello”, because you never know what may be going on in their world.
Life is so precious and I think it’s in the best interest of us all to treat our fellow human beings with kindness and dignity because you never know when you may be looking for someone to do the same for you.
Now, hold on while I put away the soap box.
This Thursday, I am thankful for everyone who is reading this post and would be even more thankful if you shared it! Hey, a blogger can ask can’t she.
I am desperately trying to wear all of my summer clothes before the end of September so this is going to be a 2 fer, maxi skirts that I wore in July and August and also in 2013.
Purple maxi skirt is from Old Navy and the Merona top is from Target which I also wore on June 26th, 2013 (see here)
As you can see “Ms Elle” made an appearance twice this week.
I love having hubby as my photographer, but he doesn’t tell me when something is out of place. He said, “I thought your shirt was supposed to be this way!” Men! Good thing he is not being paid!
The watch is Avon and bracelet from Rugged Wearhouse.
This floral cowl neck tank is one of my favorites which was on clearance at JCPenney last summer. The black skirt is thrifted from Goodwill.
This perfectly sized tote if from Avon as is the wrap around bracelet and watch. I believe the other bracelets and rings were purchased at Rugged Wearhouse and the sandals are from Payless.
I am thankful that I enjoy dressing for less, otherwise I would be broke! I am also thankful for my family, friends and of course my faith.
How about you, what makes you thankful this Thursday?

PS Here is the same purple maxi and top on 6/27/13

Hello friends,
welcome to Week 17 of “You Choose the Shoes“. The yellow Mossimo Pumps were definitely the #1 favorite in last week’s contest. Most of you felt it highlighted the yellow in the dress and I totally agree, thank you all for the comments.
This week we are going with a more casual look. I actually have two pairs of denim shoes, but unlike those studded cut outs these are much more comfortable. They are going up against “Ms. Elle” another very comfortable pair of summer slides or slip-ons.
Each pair are contenders to be the best match for this uber comfortable t-shirt dress from Rainbow Shops. I only wish it came in more than two colors because it was so comfy that I could wear one everyday.
Worn with these Elle slides the outfit is perfect for a weekend of afternoon shopping or outdoor dining.
The denim straps are also comfy casual and I think they bring a little more attention to the bracelets – what do you think?
So which one would you choose?
Ms. Elle – grazing in the tall grass
poolside
or
the denim straps?
But before you decide, take a look at them solo
Okay, have you made a decision?
So which pair is it going to be?
Ms. Elle or
Madame Denim?
You choose the shoes then leave a comment below. I will be back to respond after reading a few blog posts over at Bloggy Mom’s linkup party.

Hello friends,
well last week’s contest proved one thing – you CAN wear too much denim, the votes were overwhelmingly in favor of the wedge heels. Not that you didn’t like the denim shoes, it was just that they were too much with the maxi denim dress.
I now need to find an appropriate outfit to wear with them because I love them, otherwise, they’ll sit in the closet for another year.
This week’s contenders are Target verses Rainbow Shops. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen the two pairs of sandals that I purchased a few weeks back, 2 pair for $20, definitely a deal that I couldn’t pass up. I got a pair of flats and these white heels.
The also came in black and cognac which I should have also gotten. These yellow Mossimo pumps were purchased last year as part of a major shoes haul from Target – remember that one?
The dress is one of those “I can’t believe someone actually donated this” Goodwill find. I absolutely love how it fits and look forward to wearing it every summer!
It has a unique collar which is another reason why I like it so much. Okay, now take a look at the shoes and then choose which pair goes better with the dress.
Will it be the white sandals from the Rainbow Shops
OR
the yellow pumps from Target?
Are you ready to choose the shoes?
Leave your comment below and when I get back from the Blog Hop over at Bloggy Moms, I’ll respond with my comments.

Hello friends,
If you recall, last year my GYN diagnosed me with being Vitamin D Deficient, so I started taking Vitamin D pills. If you are anything like me, you don’t like taking hard-to-swallow pills and may take softgels instead.
I had seen Gummy Vitamins on the shelves at our local drug stores but always felt they were a bit juvenile for a woman of my age!
Thanks to @Smiley360, I was able to receive ten sample packs to review. Included with the samples was a $2.00 off coupon and a Pedometer, which I wear at the office as a reminder to get up and walk, I definitely don’t want a “blogger’s butt”.
These Caltrate Gummy Bites are Calcium & Vitamin D3 Supplements which supports strong bones, another health concern for aging women. The Gummy Bites are not those stick-to-your-teeth bites which I though they would be, you know something similar to candy gummy worms.
They come in three flavors, Black Cherry, Orange and Strawberry and have now become part of my daily vitamin regiment.
Anyone over the age of 13 can take these supplements 2x per day with or without food but make sure to first check with your physician before taking any new medication or supplement.
Caltrate Gummy Bites can be purchased online @Amazon.com or at your local Walgreens, Walmart, Target or CVS. Click here to receive your $2.00 off coupon.
I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. Opinions are 100% my own. I am not a health care professional so please check with your physician before taking any over-the-counter products.

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.
So long summer…can you believe today is the first Friday in August…time sure is flying by way too fast. I was actually behind several school buses yesterday morning, the kids didn’t look too happy but I bet their parents were!!! As you know, we have two sons heading off to college with Malik staying on campus, and there are a few items that I need to get for his dorm room. Bowie sent a brochure from Campus Market to help parents order the necessary bed and bath items that they may need. I drive past a Christmas Tree Shop, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Burlington Coat Factory and Ross everyday. If I can’t purchase what he needs from one of these stores it won’t get got, because we don’t pay a sales tax in Delaware.

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.
Here we are again at another week of “You Choose The Shoes” and I am delighted that so many of you have commented that you look forward to this weekly feature. Trust me, I am enjoying it as much as you are and since I have so too many pairs of shoes, this is going to last for quite some time, at least until the first snow fall.
Now last week might have been a “gimme” because of the statement I made about the black and white sandals from Avon, so you know who won right?
This week’s contenders are once again regulars to the party, they are Avon versus Target
Open toe versus closed toe but they are both patent leather.
This is one of many sheath dresses purchased from Burlington Coat factory and tomorrow’s post will be featuring more of these summer sheath dresses.
Are you ready to choose, will it be the purple and black color block pumps from Avon
– or –
The black patent leather pumps from Target?
Yes, they are both comfortable and in cases like this, I wish I could wear them both! So let’s take one more look shall we…
Leave me a comment below with the pair you chose and why, then come on over and visit the ladies at Whitney’s Personal Style Linkup, see ya later.

Hello friends…you know what day it is…it’s Hump Day but it’s also “You Choose The Shoes” day!
Last week’s contenders were definitely not in a tight race but the comments for both were coming in fast and furious, however, you know there can only be one winner so congratulations to everyone who voted for….
CARLOS SANTANA’S SEXY SANDALS!!!
I’m expecting this week’s contender’s to be a bit of a challenge only because they both look good with the outfit and are both equally comfortable. So let’s take a look, shall we:
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you saw this outfit already but so you know the skirt is from JC Penney and that the top was thrifted from Goodwill. The iPad case and watch believe it or not were purchased from Avon and if you haven’t checked out a catalog lately click here.
The first pair of shoes are xhiliration via Target and were purchased several years ago. I wear them at least 4 times during the summer months because I love the mustard color and they are very comfortable. The second pair were purchased online at Urbanog.com, and were part of a major shoe haul where I ordered more than 5 pairs on the same day (here).
I love the pops of neon colors which was also very popular in the mid to late 80’s.
Okay, it’s time to choose the shoes, will it be the mustard yellow xhiliration wedges from Target
OR
the peach sandals from Urbanog.com?
I can tell this is going to be another tough decision which is why I like having you in my closet!
You choose the shoes, then leave me a comment as to why you chose them. In the meantime I’ll be heading over to see the ladies at the Personal Style Linkup, then I’ll be back to respond to your comments.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday. Thank you all who voted in last week’s “You Choose The Shoes” contest. Although both pairs were great for that outfit, there was one clear winner, the well worn Glo Wedges from Kmart!
This week’s contenders are also well worn closet staples, I don’t even remember from where I purchased the SRO Red Mule Sandals.
SRO Venice Red Mules Sandals
Black Mossimo Black Sandals from Target
This comfy geometric gauze dress was thrifted from Goodwill and is perfect to wear to work or running errands on the weekend.
These Red Mules matches the patio furniture cushions but the nail polishes are definitely clashing – what do you think?
So which pair do you choose?
Black Mossimo Sandals
– or –
Venice Red Sandals?
Today I’m hanging out with Whitney at her Personal Style LinkUp so come on over and check it out.
This evening I will be teaching another Blogging class for The Money School of Delaware (Monetizing Your Blog) so have a great day and we’ll chat tomorrow!
