Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Can you believe that next week it will be Labor Day, the unofficial end of Summer – where did August go? I don’t know about you but I don’t rush to put away my summer clothes and break out the Autumn gear. I like to leisurely linger into Indian Summer by continuing to wear white jeans and sundresses.
Last year I did a few Labor Day DIY’s one of which was upcycling a Sundress into a Maxi Skirt, you can read that post HERE. Today I am wearing that Maxi Skirt with a mustard-color blouse thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill) and Wedge Sandals from Target.
TLP Handbag – TJ Maxx
When the weather cools, I will wear an oversized sweater with the skirt
Gold tone accessories including watch from Avon and ring from Burlington Coat Factory
Are you ready for the cooler weather of Autumn or are you like me and love the heat of the Summer?
Today I am linking up with Katherines Corner, come on over and congratulate her on reaching 10,000 followers – woohoo!

Have a fantastical day – Smooches!
Back to School Shopping
Posted on: August 14, 2013
Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
My youngest will be entering High School as a Senior which means no more standing at the bus stop in the rain…he drives, and no more back to school shopping…he wouldn’t be caught dead shopping with his mother…besides he has his own Debit Card.
His last year in High School is bittersweet but it doesn’t mean I can’t go “Back to School Shopping” and take advantage of the end of the season sales.
I may not be doing this…
But I can do this…
Which is what I did at TJ Maxx and Burlington Coat Factory!
Jessica Simpson Wedge Shoes @ TJ Maxx
Floral Dress – $15.00
Black & White Stripped Maxi – $19.99
Unlisted loafers – $19.99
Bandolino Blue Patent Leather Wedges – $19.99
I didn’t purchase, but these Bandolino pumps were so comfy @ $24.99
Leaving TJ Maxx I saw Barbie, a true fashionista, whose skirt and top were purchased at Nzinga’s Boutique. A perfect outfit to wear out and about running errands or shopping (s/o to Steve aka Ken – lol)
Next I drove down Naamans Road to Burlington Coat Factory at the Tri State Mall
Maxi Dress – $14.98
Floral hi-low dress – $6.98
Infinity Scarf $5.98
Infinity Scarf – $4.98
I also purchased a pair of CitiClassifed Pumps ($9.98) and Yellow Evening Bag ($7.98) – I love clearance racks just as much as thrifting!
Next year we will be paying College tuition so there will be no more Back to School Shopping for me, also bittersweet!
Have you done any Back to School shopping or taken advantage of the end of season sales?

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.
Striped Skirt (old) – Marshalls // Top – GW Boutique // FUBU purse – Burlington Coat Factory
Pesaro’ Sandals (old)
Brass Necklace & Earring Set and Bracelet – jewelry box // watch – Avon // Ring – DIY Ombre with nail polish
Sunnies – Rugged Wearhouse
I am so ready to wear white jeans.
What are you most looking forward to wearing this summer?

Hello Friends and Happy Monday
Today’s outfit is the Avon color block dress which was first featured in this May 2012 post, wow, time sure does fly by! This time I decided to pair it with a little animal print from the matching earring & necklace set to the shoes and small pouch which was a DIY project.
This small canvas pouch was covered with surplus fabric using a hot glue gun. It’s a perfect size to carry a wallet, cell phone and keys.
The lucite earrings and necklace set was purchased at Jewelrymax.com and the lucite rings from Burlington Coat Factory
I love the touch of animal print in these black pumps from Rugged Wearhouse featured here in September

OOTD – Back to the Max
Posted on: March 28, 2013
Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Today is my last day at work until next Tuesday, the 2nd of April and I am counting down the hours! Looking forward to relaxing but more importantly cleaning out my closets! Getting ready for the 1st Flea Market of the season and will be gathering unused clothes and household items in order to make a little extra cash.
This is my favorite maxi skirt and I will be keeping it because the print can be paired with a variety of tops and shoes, therefore, it will always be a closet staple.
Skirt -Boscov’s // Twin Set Sweater – closet staple // Mossimo Embellished flats – Target
Shawl – Burlington Coat Factory
Necklace and Earring Set – Jewelrymax.net // Bracelets – Burlington Coat Factory // Ring – Mizoutlet.com // Watch – Avon
What items in your closet will always be keepers?
