Hello friends and Happy Monday before Thanksgiving 2012!
Weekends seem to fly by and this one was no exception especially since I spent most of yesterday washing and pressing all of my thrifted Goodwill goodies. Sometimes I wonder how a silk blouse or cute skirt could have been donated but then I think about all the items I’ve donated over the years and say, “yep, it was too small, too big or my closet is just too full!”
I simply adore these shoes and am amazed that I found them in blue as well – jackpot!
Black skirt was previously thrifted from Goodwill in Exton, PA and the belt was purchased back in the ’80’s

Hello friends and Happy Monday. Today we celebrate Veterans Day and I salute all active and inactive members of the armed forces as well as remembering those who are no longer with us.
THANK YOU!
I have yet to set up the camera on the tripod and use the timer so I don’t have an full picture of today’s outfit. I simply paired a white top and black slacks with a black and white blazer thrifted from Goodwill. I threw on a pair of black leather clogs which never go out of style and are comfortable any time of the year.

Hello friends and Happy Thursday! Yesterday’s snow in our area wasn’t bad so the commute home was stress free with light traffic. Today, “Friday Eve”, I am really looking forward to the weekend because I have several inside and outside chores that will have my undivided attention. If you follow me on Instagram (ablake48), this is the skirt that was thrifted from Goodwill on Saturday. Initially I wanted to pair it with an oversize tan sweater but instead chose black to feature the matching belt.
Today I am carrying my new Miche’ Lexi-Prima purse with the giraffe print and it is so roomy and jazzy looking. This weekend I will post more about this great purse line because I’ll be hosting an online party for the holidays so stay tuned.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday. Today’s outfit is titled “Toeless Tuesday” because socks are covering my tootsies for the first time in a long time. I hadn’t planned on wearing socks this early in the season but a change in weather made a change in my mind. I wore these combat-like boots at the end of September but it was sans socks.
Drizzling rain and colder temps had me putting on a new pair of socks, stripped grey and black purchased from Payless. Earlier in the year they were on sale, 2 pair for $2.00, I love shopping off season for the best prices. The black and white sweater blazer was thrifted last season from Goodwill and it’s covering a sleeveless top from Marshalls. (in case of a flash) . The black pants are a closet staple but must be worn with boots otherwise, it looks like I’m walking in a flash flood!

Hello Friends and Happy Monday. If you are on the east coast you woke up to a brrrrr…..chilly morning. I love the cool, crispness of the season, windows cracked open and covers pulled over my head is the best way to sleep! Today’s outfit is a faux suede maxi thrifted from Goodwill, multi print top from Ross and pumps from Rugged Wearhouse.
If you are home today enjoy yourself but if you are at work like me, take a long lunch and enjoy yourself – Smooches!

Today this morning it was brisk, bright and cloudless, eerily similar to the morning of 9.11.01
RIP to all those who were tragically lost on that day – our Angels forever
Day 2 of skirt week is completely thrift-free which for me is a feat! In June, I purchased this Valerie Bertinelli skirt (worn here) at Marshalls, I didn’t want to pay full price but I also didn’t want to wait for it to be marked down. The top was either purchased at Marshalls, TJ Maxx or Ross, as they all have similar clothing items.
Peep toe pumps – The Shoe Dept// Necklace and Earrings – jewelry box// Bracelet – Rugged Wearhouse// Earrings – Icings
Wishing you a wonderful evening.
