You choose the shoes winner

Were they your choice?

Now the shoes that I picked for this week are similar in print but different in style and I wanted them to compete with the pattern in my dress, take a look:

animal print Jessica Simpson’s peep toe pumps from a consignment shop

animal print closed toe pump Christian Sirano for Payless

Jessica Simpson vs Christian Sirano

The dress was thrifted from Goodwill and like I said, I didn’t want to go with a solid color pump, so I stepped outside of the box with the animal print.  What do you think – good choice or not?

Totally Thrifted Tuesday | OOTD

Hello Friends, I trust you all had a happy and safe holiday weekend!  I am back to work after being off since Thursday and needless to say it is tough getting back into the routine.  This outfit is what I wore last Tuesday and with the exception of the jewelry it is Totally Thrifted.

Totally Thrifted OOTD

 

You might remember when I purchased this embroidered skirt and sleeveless tank last winter at Goodwill.  It was during one of the many shopping trips I made looking for outfits for the 2014 Goodwill Runway Show.  One of the things I like most about thrifting is you can oftentimes find items that are out of season knowing that they are right for when the weather changes.  It was the dead of winter cold but I knew this skirt and tank would be perfect for work once the weather warmed.


Totally Thrifted OOTD

 

These Jessica Simpson animal print, peep-toe shoes are one of my favorite pieces from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop.

Totally Thrifted OOTD

In selecting the accessories, I decided to mix plastic bracelets with pearl necklaces and earrings.  The goldtone watch is from Avon.

Totally Thrifted OOTD

 

The floral embroidery on the skirt matches the patio cushions and umbrella from Home Depot.  Speaking of which, did you have a nice Memorial Day weekend?  What did you do?  On Saturday, we had a graduation party for Malik and it was a  blast, I’ll post more on about it on Thankful Thursday.

I think I’ll head over to see the ladies at Personal Style Linkup, Thrifters Anonymous and Lou Lou Girls.  Have a wonderful day and we’ll chat tomorrow.

You Choose The Shoes Week 5 | Splurge vs. Save Campaign

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

Thank you all for voting last week and just as predicted it was a hard choice, but the winners were the

Payless Pumps!

Payless Pumps Win Week 4

One pair in this week’s contest is an entry into the Credit Card Insiders Splurge vs Save Campaign.

You all know that as much as I love shoes, I find it very difficult if not impossible to spend a lot of money on them, which is why I love to thrift or pay less!

So without further adieu here are this week’s choices:

Avon Black & White Forever Pumps

or

Enzo Angiolini Black Pumps

You Choose the Shoes Week 6 -DeDivahDeals

Avon Forever Pumps or Enzo Angiolini

The black and white dress was purchased last summer on clearance for only $8.00 at JCPenney. Another way to save is to wait until the end of a retail season to buy clothes, which is usually a month or so before the end of the actual season so you’ll have plenty of time to wear them.

I added pops of color to the classic black and white combination with an orange necklace thrifted new from Goodwill, orange watch from Avon and a multi-color bracelet.  

These black patent leather Enzo Angiolini pumps which I had once seen online for $59.99 at Nordstrom were thrifted from The Salvation Army for only $14.99, so they definitely were a Save vs a Splurge purchase!

Okay which shoes do you choose?

You Choose The Shoes| Week 3

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

The winner of last week’s “You Choose the Shoes” was the

Fioni Pumps from Kmart!

 

I don’t know about you, but I am having such a blast with this new feature, “You Choose The Shoes“.  It’s like having a bunch of friends hang out in my closet helping to chose just the right shoes for an outfit – thank you all!

This week’s choices are either Coconut wedges from Marshall’s or Nine West wedges thrifted from Goodwill.

You Choose the Shoes Week 3 007

You Choose the Shoes!

Coconut or Nine West wedges

 

The outfit is a thrifted top from GW Boutique and a cream color ShapeFX skirt from Spiegel Outlet

Nine West thrifted from Goodwill

I think these Nine West shoes are a perfect match in their color and patent leather material for this top.  What do you think?

Necklace and Earrings from Majestical Jewelry

Necklace and Earrings are from the product review that I did for Majestical Jewelry (click here).

Cutout wedges purchased several seasons ago

 

These cutout wedges were purchased several seasons ago from Marshall’s and were quite popular.  I remember seeing them posted by several fashion bloggers.

You Choose the Shoes | OOTD

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

I love the Spring and Summer seasons, not only because of the warmer weather but because of the shoes!  Sandals and open-toes are my favorites, but wedges, platforms, kitten heels, high heels, pumps, flats, it doesn’t matter, I wear them all.  

I know that I’m not alone when I say, “I LOVE Shoes“.  I’ve been known to purchase 3 different pairs all at the same time…all on the same day… AND all at the same store ~ I LOVE Shoes! Unfortunately, having only one pair of feet can cause a dilemma, the decision on which pair to wear for a particular outfit can be frustrating.  

This new blog feature, “You Choose the Shoes” is helping me by giving you an opportunity to choose the pair of shoes that I’ll wear with a particular outfit of the day.  

Okay, for this outfit which pair should I wear?

The Polka Dot sleeveless tank was thrifted from Goodwill and red Capri pants were on clearance at JC Penney?

Madden Girl Polka Dots from @DSW

or

Glo Jeans wedges from @Kmart

My hubby and son chose The Madden Girl

I had to do one of those 3-toe polishes this morning, but I will be making an appointment for my annual Spring pedicure!

So which one did you choose?

I Got it @Goodwill | End of the Season OOTD

Hello Friends and Happy Goodwill Wednesday!

I wore this end-of-the-season outfit in March, but with all the activity at the end of the month I didn’t get a chance to post it. This is officially the last of the winter wardrobe pics because today it’s going to be 70 degrees…time for a pedicure because the boots have been put away!

I Got it @Goodwill

Everything was thrifted from Goodwill at different times and from different locations so it was fun putting it all together.

I got it @Goodwill OOTD

Even though I wore a short sleeve blouse, there was still a slight chill in the air so I opted to wear the brown suede jacket which was also thrifted.

Thrifted belt

Of the entire thrifted outfit, I like this unique thick belt the best, what do you think?

Thrifted Boots

Remember how excited I was to finally find a pair of Riding Boots, and to find them new at Goodwill for only $18.99 was awesome.  The hooks on the back gave them an edgier look which made it a better thrifted find.

Totally Thrifted from Goodwill

Now it’s time to go through my closets and purge items that I did not wear last season or were much too tight thanks to menopausal weight gain or perhaps too much winter wine.  Anywho, whatever I find will be re-donated back to Goodwill which is the best part of thrifting.  

Today I’m linking up with one of my favorite thriftinistas over at ColorBlind and then I’ll swing by to see DC Goodwill Fashionista so if you get a chance, come on over and check out their thrifty finds.

T-Shirt Tuesday | Welcoming in Spring

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

Last Thursday I was up bright and early, well it actually wasn’t that bright, but it was early.  I wanted to welcome in Spring and get a jump on wearing less clothing, mostly in particular no tights or hose.  

First Day of Spring OOTD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After dressing quickly I rushed to the door to check out the weather, although there was still snow on the ground it wasn’t blustery cold as it had been only a few days earlier.

Welcome Spring

“Hey Spring, come on in, stay awhile, we’ve missed you!”

 

First Day of Spring OOTD

 

 It felt good not to have to wear tights or hose and to be able to put on a short sleeve T-shirt was even better.  I purposely thrifted this black T-shirt after seeing Ms. Looking Good in her white one.  Prior to reading her post, I would have never thought to wear a t-shirt with a skirt or even to work, but I like the look – what do you think?

You remember these thrifted black patent leather ankle shoes.  The geometric skirt was a clearance sale bargain from JC Penney.  The necklace and earring set is from Jewelrymax.net, they have some great costume jewelry.

Have you ever been inspired by another blogger’s outfit?  

What are you looking forward to shedding from your winter wardrobe?

I Got it @Goodwill

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

Last weekend we finally got a break in the cold winter weather with temperatures rising above 50 degrees, it felt almost summer like after all that freezing snow.  In celebration of the warm weekend I decided to wear this bright yellow twin-set sweater to church on Sunday – whew, that’s a mouthful!

I paired the thrifted sweater set with yet another thrifted find, a brown striped skirt.

Thrifted Sweater Set and Skirt

These Romance Soles kitten heel pumps were another fantastic thrifted find and if you remember, I also got them in Navy Blue.  This was the last post in which I wore them (click here).

Necklace - Rugged Wearhouse

The beaded necklace was a clearance purchase from Rugged Wearhouse for ($1.00) – #winning

Warm Day 6

This Rosetti purse was not thrifted, however, it was purchased from a Flea Market vendor in Florida for less than $20.00.

So what do you think about this week’s “I Got It @Goodwill” totally thrifted outfit (minus the accessories)?
