Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday. Thank you all who voted in last week’s “You Choose The Shoes” contest. Although both pairs were great for that outfit, there was one clear winner, the well worn Glo Wedges from Kmart!
This week’s contenders are also well worn closet staples, I don’t even remember from where I purchased the SRO Red Mule Sandals.
SRO Venice Red Mules Sandals
Black Mossimo Black Sandals from Target
This comfy geometric gauze dress was thrifted from Goodwill and is perfect to wear to work or running errands on the weekend.
These Red Mules matches the patio furniture cushions but the nail polishes are definitely clashing – what do you think?
So which pair do you choose?
Black Mossimo Sandals
– or –
Venice Red Sandals?
Today I’m hanging out with Whitney at her Personal Style LinkUp so come on over and check it out.
This evening I will be teaching another Blogging class for The Money School of Delaware (Monetizing Your Blog) so have a great day and we’ll chat tomorrow!

Hello Friends, when you’re heading out for brunch with hubby or lunch with the ladies do you find choosing just the right thing to wear a daunting task? Do you open your closet door, stare inside and say, “I have nothing to wear?” Well when hubby and I decided to head to Aqua Sol for Sunday Brunch, I knew exactly what I was going to wear.
This Polka Dot Sheath dress from Midnight Velvet was perfect for an afternoon at the Marina. Sleeveless with a side zipper made it comfortable enough for sitting in the sun and the polyester/spandex blend made it stretchable enough to enjoy a meal without it being too tight afterwards.
I chose to wear my “caliente” pumps to match the red belt which gave it more of a colorful pop.
As part of Midnight Velvet’s Summer 2014 catalog this dress is definitely a confident summer style with pizzazz. The side pockets were a nice added feature and perfectly sized to drop in my cell phone.
Now to assist you with the “I have nothing to wear” dilemma, Midnight Velvet has offered to give one of my lucky readers at $50 Midnight Velvet Gift Certificate. This Rafflecopter giveaway will end at midnight on June 30th, so hurry and enter today.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
This is an old post but I think it’s worth repeating, especially as the weather warms.
If your face is naturally oily or perhaps you get that “afternoon glow” on your T-Zone, here’s a money-saving tip: don’t spend your money on store-bought cosmetic blotters, just grab a toilet seat cover and make your own.
If you are out and have to use a public restroom, grab a few of those toilet seat covers. When you get home cut them into small squares which you can then store in a small plastic sandwich bag, or envelope to keep in your purse or makeup bag.
Afternoon Glow?
Now you have your own home-made (FREE) blotting cloths.
What are some of your money saving beauty tips?
I hope to see you again this evening at 6:00 for the #WWDParty!

On Thankful Thursday February 1st, 1996, I gave birth to a healthy son, al-Malik Glorian Blake, his first name in Arabic means “King or Monarch”. His middle name was given in memory of my sister, his aunt Gloria whom he never met.
On Thankful Thursday May 22nd 2014, I watched that son walk across the stage at the Bob Carpenter Center on the campus of the University of Delaware to receive his High School Diploma.
I am thankful but where did the time go?
As a young boy, I helped him learn how to walk and then last week he walked out the door a High School Senior with his Cap and Gown…walked into the gymnasium with a glow of excitement and anticipation, yet filled with anxiety of an unknown future…he then walked back into the house a High School GRADUATE…soon he’ll walk again, but this time it will be off to College.
I am thankful but where did the time go?
Where Did The Time Go?
It was a beautiful Thankful Thursday and the weekend was filled with family and friends with love and support because “it take a village to raise a child!’
I am thankful for my family, my friends and of course my faith. I am thankful for the love and support that I receive from my family and friends and they will never know just how much it all means – I am thankfully blessed!
Now it’s your turn, what are you thankful for this week?

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday. Although this is a short work week due to the Memorial Day holiday, it seems like it’s dragging by, I guess it’s a sign of having too much fun. Now is the time to get back into a normal routine and cut back on the over eating and drinking. How about you, did you over indulge during the weekend?
Thank you all for your votes, and without further adieu the winner of Week 5 were the thrifted
Enzo Angiolini’s
This week’s contenders are a pair of well-worn Cognac color wedges from Kmart or a pair of never been worn multi-color wedges from Citi Trends.
On this casual Friday I chose to wear a pair of color skinny jeans with a multi-colored top which was thrifted from Goodwill.
Glo wedges from Kmart
Embellished wedge from Citi Trends

Which shoes do you choose?
Have a wonderful day and we’ll chat tomorrow.

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.
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.
These Jessica Simpson animal print, peep-toe shoes are one of my favorite pieces from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop.
In selecting the accessories, I decided to mix plastic bracelets with pearl necklaces and earrings. The goldtone watch is from Avon.
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.

Now that hubby is cancer free (thank God) and his digestive system seems to be back on track, it’s time to switch up our bathroom routine and Pamper His Bum! Yes friends, ladies and babies aren’t the only ones who enjoy a clean bottom our men do as well. Have you seen the wonderfully diverse #LetsTalkBum TV commercials for Cottonelle Bath Tissue and Flushable Cleansing Cloths?
Yesterday after work, I stopped at CVS on Route 202 and used the $1.50 off coupon for the purchase of a dispenser of Cottonelle Fresh Care Cleansing Cloths and Clean Care Toilet Paper. To pamper hubby’s bum I put the Cottonelle products in the hall bathroom so that he and our sons can enjoy the softness of the dry wipe followed by the freshness of a wet wipe.
‘”Sharing is Caring” so I’ll put extra rolls of Cottonelle TP and a dispenser of Flushable Cleansing Cloths in the Powder Room, so tomorrow as we are celebrating our son’s graduation, guests will have an opportunity to experience the wet+dry system for themselves.
If you want to pamper your bum this holiday weekend, head to the local CVS and use this money saving coupon to save on Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper and Flushable Cleansing Cloths, your Bum with thank you!
Now let’s talk bums, do you think you would like the Cottonelle wet+dry system?
This post is sponsored by Cottonelle, but my love for their fresh care flushable cleansing cloths is all my own! #LetsTalkBums
