You Choose The Shoes | Week 15

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.

Welcome to Week 15 of You Choose The Shoes, I am glad that so many of you look forward to this weekly feature just as much as I enjoy posting it.

Last week’s contenders were fun and the votes for each were coming in fast and furious but I think the red belt helped to push the winner over the top.

WINNER OF WEEK 14

 

Now, this week’s contenders are a pair of newbies versus a pair of veterans.  The newbies have been in my closet for years yet never saw the light of day and the vets are a pair that have been around and are definitely well worn.

You Choose the Shoes

Believe it or not, the newbies are the denim cut-outs with studs…I know right!  Nope I’ve never worn them nor do I remember where I purchased them from, all I do know is that I was never going to get rid of them.

The wooden wedges are a summer favorite and I believe were purchased at either Ross or Rugged Wearhouse.

You Choose the Shoes

The denim dress was thrifted from Goodwill, bracelet and ring from Old Navy on clearance for $1.99 each!  I got 6 different color bracelets and 3 rings, you know I couldn’t pass up that deal.

The chain necklace and earring set was purchased at the Rainbow Shops.

Now back to the shoes, which pair goes better with this denim maxi dress?

You Choose The Shoes | Week 13

Hello friends, and welcome to Week 13 of this fun feature “You Choose The Shoes”!  Have you been keeping a tally of your wins and losses?

Most of you agreed that last week’s contenders were each perfectly suited for the dress, but as Glenda stated, it all depended on how I was feeling or my mood.  So without further adieu the winner of last week’s contest was the sexy peep toe pumps!

winner of week 12

 

Today we have repeat contenders, they are

Avon verses Urbanog.com

You Choose the Shoes Week 13

 

The shoes are contending to be matched with this colorful thrifted skirt from Goodwill that I paired with a simple white t-shirt from Walmart. Actually the shirt is from their activewear collection, but since I am not an active exerciser, it’s being worn as a regular t-shirt.

You Choose the Shoes Week 13

This is one of the other belts that I got from Rugged Wearhouse for only $1.00.  The crystal bracelets were also $1.00 from Michael’s and I don’t remember where I purchased the earrings.

the colorful strappy sandals from Avon?

 

Hubby asks that you pardon the look of the grass, but it was supposed to rain so he didn’t get a chance to rake it up.

Have you made a decision or do you need to see them again?

Do the colors of the strappy sandals compliment or clash with the skirt or are the white sandals too blase’ ?

Let’s take a look at them solo this time.

Dollhouse -vs- L.e.i.

The skirt was purchased from Old Navy and the top was a Mother’s Day gift from my sons years ago from J.C. Penney.  It was actually the first time they made a purchase without any assistance from hubby, and I think they did a great job.

It was a little chilly last week so I wore this light gray cardigan purchased from Boscov’s.

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.

Warm Wednesday

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

We’re having a heatwave…a tropical heatwave and the solar cover arrived just in time to capture the rays.  By Sunday the pool should be warm enough to swim in, who will be swimming, now that’s another story.  My men don’t have much of an interest anymore so most of the summer it’s just me, my magazines and music!

OOTD – Smile…Say Cheese!

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!

Why do we use the phrase, “smile, say cheese” when taking pictures…”CHEESE” really, isn’t there another word in the English language that makes you wanna smile?

#1 son is my photographer and all he does is point and shoot, he never tells me to say “cheese” or “smile or even “hold in your stomach” (which is obvious in these pics), so this morning I decided not to smile and this is what we got.

OOTD – Glori-ous Day

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

Today would have been my sister’s 50th birthday and as kids I would call her “Glori” , so what could have been a gloomy day turned out to be a Glori-ous one, my Angel still shines brightly – Rest In Heaven Glori!

It took a little longer to get dressed this morning because I’m still not wearing heels and the weather forecast called for temps in the 80’s .  As much as I wanted to break out the summer gear I held back.  Decided on this thrifted polka dot skirt from GW Boutique, red sleeveless top from Ross or TJ Maxx/Marshalls and Red Stripped Wedge shoes from Avon.

Run don't Walk to Payless

It all started with an email containing a picture of these Fioni floral heels and then another email with a $10 off coupon, it was then on like popcorn!  I’m so sorry that I fell off the “won’t shop this month” wagon…but not so sorry that I won’t share this Payless shoe haul with you!

Fioni Kit Print Fioni Kit Print

These Fioni Kit Print heels were my intended but weren’t available in my size, the sales associate called other stores and found a pair at the Concord Mall.  I was then given a $4.00 coupon for the inconvenience of having to go to another location to purchase.   The manager and both sales associates were very pleasant and helpful, making my shopping experience a positive one, so much so that I purchased 4 pairs!

$10 off $25 purchase coupon

I drove to the Concord Mall after work to get the Fioni Kit Print and also got the Fioni Kipsie in Pink, spending an additional $26.08, used AAA card and $2.00 off code for completing the online survey printed on the receipt!  This shoe haul netted 6 pairs of shoes, averaging $10.60  each pair, I now have more than enough for the season and will begin purging existing to donate or sell at next month’s flea market.

Next stop is to the salon for a much needed pedicure!

Have a great weekend – Smooches!
