Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
The weather is warming up nicely despite yesterday’s hail storm, yes, it hailed in Middletown, Delaware. I hadn’t reached town yet therefore, I missed it but my girlfriend posted a pic on Facebook (LIKE me) and it was awesome, actual golf ball size hail in May – this global warming ain’t no joke!
I am getting a little impatient with the weather and am no longer waiting to go sleeveless or wear sandals as evidenced by today’s outfit. I added a little pop of color to the black and white with a coral watch and ring. The brass statement necklace with matching earrings I’ve had for over 25 years and paired them with a hammered brass bangle bracelet.

Give Me My Flowers While I’m Living
In this world today while we’re living
Some folks say the worst of us they can
But when we are dead and in our caskets
They always slip some lilies in our hand
Won’t you give me my flowers while I’m living
And let me enjoy them while I can
Pleae don’t wait till I’m ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand
In this world is where we need our flowers
A kind word to help us get along
If you can’t give me flowers while I’m living
Then please don’t throw them when I’m gone

Sending these flowers from my house to yours – hope you’re not allergic!

Hello Friends and Happy Tax Day 2013!
I hope you have completed and submitted your taxes and maybe got a refund. Ours were completed last week and thanks in part to the numerous Goodwill donations throughout the year we got a little tax break.
As much as much I love donating to GW Boutiques, thrifting there is much more enjoyable. Last Sunday I went to Goodwill in Middletown, which by the way has been reorganized and looks great. I thrifted a skirt, 2 tops and a pair of new floral jeans for $20.25, and submitted these photos for their Macklemore “Pop The Tag” contest.
Then on Thursday I went to GW Boutique on Concord Pike and thrifted these tops and skirts for $3.75 each and a Kate Spade purse for $4.00. I’m going to assume it’s a designer-inspired purse and if you know how I can determine that, please let me know.
Any favorites?

Hello Friends and Happy Thursday, hope your day is going well.
Having Tuesday off from work has me a day behind mentally which may not be a bad thing because tomorrow is FRI-YAY!!!! It was somewhat depressing reading through the blogs last night, seeing all those beautiful and colorful maxi dresses and wishing for warmer days instead of dealing with these cold Winter winds. This morning we were greeted with snow showers…really Mother Nature – c’mon Spring!
In these pictures I may be smiling but I’m definitely not excited about these outfits, I want to shed the layers!
Sunday’s Suit
Suit – old closet staple // necklace – Jewelrymax.net // Mossimo Pumps via Target
Tuesday’s Wild Child
Boots & Purse – Avon // Jeggings – Kmart // Tunic Dress – Ross // Necklace – Jewelrymax.net // Belt – closet staple
Wednesday – 1st Day of Spring 2013
Cardigan – Ross or Marshalls // Skirt and Top – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Purse – Avon // Merona pumps via Target
Tired of This Weather Thursday
Sweater Vest – Marshalls // Gauchos – closet staple // Blouse – GW Boutique // Earrings – Icings // Bracelet – jewelry box
I had hoped that tomorrow the weather would be warmer but most likely it will be a “50’s Friday” Oh well, the temps will eventually increase but until then I will be wearing clothing from the winter wardrobe.
Have a fantabulous afternoon and don’t forget to check out the FB Page “Bloggers4JCPenney” – there are some great new postings.

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Believe it or not we got snow flakes this morning, it was nothing major just some spritzing, but I do hope it was the last for the season. I feel sorry for hubby because the year after the big snow storm of 2010, he used his credit card to purchase a snow blower from Sears…it’s been sitting in the garage collecting dust as he continued to pay the high interest charges!
It took me a little longer to dress this morning because what was forecast on Sunday changed and it was too cold for my dress. I ended up grabbing this two-tone skirt and polka dot top then added a little bling to jazz it up. I didn’t wear hubby’s watch to work just used it for the pictures, definitely too much.

The grass is getting greener – next week is Spring – please no more snow!
Are you a minimalist when it comes to jewelry or do you like to Bling Bling?

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
I was born in 1961, so it seems strange to use the term “throwback” when referring to the 1980’s, but it is. Today’s outfit is totally thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill) but from two different decades. The blue and white Houndstooth blazer was thrifted in 1989, which you can probably tell by the Dynasty/Falcon Crest shoulder pads. Remember when they introduced Dianne Carroll as Dominique Deveraux; or the pool fight scene or the first time the “B” word was used, or when they went crazy after Rock Hudson revealed he had AIDS? Man oh Manischewitz, that was definitely some “must see TV!”
The skirt and shoes were just thrifted last year however, the styles make them look a little dated as well. The white shell earrings were purchased at Rehoboth Beach also in the ’80’s and match the buttons on the blazer.

Hello Friends, I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday.
It appears as though everyone is back to work because the commute was slow and I drove even slower trying to save gas. Can you believe the prices, I last paid $3.65 for a gallon and it’s goes up a few cents every day. How much is it in your area?
My commute is 100 miles round trip and it is definitely putting a dent in my wallet, so to save money I have vowed not to shop until April when the prices are supposed to drop. The economic recovery is no where near where it should be and these gas prices aren’t helping! Before my self imposed shopping freeze I was able to snag two skirts from JC Penney’s for $5 each and am wearing one of them with a thrifted top and blazer.
Liz Claiborne Collection Skirt – JC Penney // Oxblood Top – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Black Blazer – GW Boutique
Necklace and Earrings – Payless // Ring – Avon // Hose – Walmart
The Merona pumps were part of the clearance shoe haul from Target.
