Walking Dead Monday Blues

Hello Friends and Happy Monday

Today is Columbus Day so most schools and Federal offices are closed, unfortunately I am no longer in school nor do I work for the Federal Government so I had to go to work.  Fortunately, without the school buses and heavy traffic the drive in wasn’t too bad, but I’m sure it won’t be the same heading home.

Oh well, at least it’s not raining – Happy Blue Monday!

Last night before the season’s premier of The Walking Dead I was able to press out a lot of clothes including  my outfits for the week.  Today’s Dressing for Less outfit is dedicated to The Walking Dead because I feel like a zombie after staying up to watch The Talking Dead, then 2 episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

In case you are wondering…I slept like a baby because horror doesn’t bother me which is why October if my favorite month for television watching, especially Halloween night.  My all time favorite horror movie is the original 1968, black and white version of Night of the Living Dead…a classic…”Barbara, they are coming to get you!”

Are you a fan(atic) of  The Walking Dead if so, what did think of  last night’s premier – too much too soon?  Why did they have to kill off  Greg from #EverybodyHatesChris ?  Yuck, he coughed that virus into the communal water basin..uh oh!  Twitter was blowing up last night with all kinds of theories, this is going to be a roller coaster season!

These shoes definitely don’t have me walking like a Zombie!  If you are looking for fashionable yet comfortable pumps – contact your Avon Rep or check out my Avon website because these shoes are SUPER COMFORTABLE!

Thrifted Tuesday – OOTD

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

Today I had to break out the jacket as the temperatures this morning dipped a little too low for wearing short sleeves.  A few of you may recall the closet mishap that I had a few months ago, well it happened again – #ihavetoomanyclothes, now most of my clothes are laying across the bed in the guest room.  Thankfully, I have a separate rack for just skirts so I grabbed this unwrinkled Polka Dot skirt to wear with the lime green knit top.

OOTD September 124

 

This  spandex jacket has a pleather weaved pattern giving it an edgy look which is why I chose to wear the studded bracelet.  The studs in the bracelet are silver and the ones in my shoes are gold but I don’t have a problem mixing metals.

How about you, do you mix your jewelry metals?

Black leather backpack belonged to my sister and has been in my closet since 1992, I’ve never used it.

OOTD September 128 My favorite end-of-the-season studded pumps by Leuven Alexander were purchased from Rugged Wearhouse.

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.

Totally Thrifted and Avon Accessories

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

Summer is is flying by so quickly can you believe tomorrow is the last day of July!

This outfit which I wore last Friday was totally thrifted from GW Boutique and was very comfortable for the weather.  Last week there were several temperature fluctuations that ended with a torrential rain storm on Sunday.  Motorist returning from the beach and shore were stranded on major highways for hours.  This week we are in store for beautiful, low humidity days perfect for anyone taking a late vacation to the beach.

OOTD – Thrifted & Thankful Thursday

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!

For me Thursday is the best day of the week, we’ve made it through Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and start to look forward to the weekend. Thursday is a heads-down day at work, tying up loose ends, finishing up the weekly to-do list in anticipation of an easy breezy Friday.

Thursday is also a day of reflection some even define it as Thankful Thursday. As we rush through the week from one event to another, it’s nice to take a few minutes to think about and then speak aloud for which we are grateful. Speaking positivity into the atmosphere is a good way to keep life’s trials and tribulations in check.

“Count your blessing so that you can lose count of your problems”

OOTD – Toasty Tuesday

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

Today is going to be another hot and steamy day, and this is actually Heatwave #4.  If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen the 5-day forecast for the Delaware Valley – HOT HOT and HOTTER.   The Meteorologist stated he preferred the cold and snow of winter but I love the heat of the summer.  Deciding what to wear isn’t a challenge since I’m in an air conditioned car or office most of the day and I was going to wear all black but decided to throw in a little pink.

OOTD 7 16 13 011

7:00 am and the sun is shining brightly

Which do you prefer, the cold of  Winter or the heat of Summer?

OOTD 7 16 13 005

Love my Pink & White pumps from Rugged Wearhouse
