Outfit of The Day

Its been too hot to stand outside and take pics! LOL This is my outfit from last Sunday! The black maxi dress I have had for at least 10 yrs if not longer. The orange top is from Cato's and it is at least 7 yrs old! The sandals were a pick up from Payless at the end of last summer. Honestly the best time to pick up sandals; because you can get them for a song (you have to be at least thirty eight or older to get that)! LOL

 This is my outfit from last Monday when we went to meet my mom to finalize plans for our family reunion! The green top is an old standby from Catos (at least 7 or 8 yrs old). Same with the plaid flats. The jewelry is from Catos as well. I picked them up on our way to Nashville last year (I kid you not...if I see a Catos while on vacation I have to stop, because each Cato's has something different to offer). Catos really is my favorite store to shop at! The bag is from Women Of Faith. I picked up a bunch of stuff on their website after the conference for half the price I would have paid at the conference itself. T-shirts, purse, books you name it! Again......I'm a bargain girl! LOL

Saturday Nicki had a consultation with a bride and immediately after that we had to attend a celebration at my girlfriends home. I haven't been feeling well lately, and the heat has not helped at all so don't know what I was thinking when I put on this t-shirt and maxi skirt! And this was after our Zumba class! Next time I will have on shorts! The t-shirt is just a plain t-shirt from Roses for like $3.00! The Maxi skirt was $12.00 from Roses, the gold sandals are from my cruise a few yrs ago (I got them in the cruise ship shop for like $7.00 bucks). The belt is from Charlotte Russe I think (yes, ladies I shop at Charlotte Russe, and Forever21). I rarely buy clothing at the "junior" stores but I will purchase their accessories! LOL

Sunday I had every intention of wearing a maxi dress, but after Saturday I knew another long skirt would not work! I love these Steve Madden sandals my hubby brought me and the earrings are a gift from my SIL! The bag is from my hubby. He brought a bunch of them for me to give away as prizes (I had to grab one) and the sleeveless ruffle top is from Roses (got it yrs ago for like $6.00. I also have it in orange, and white...lol). The skirt has these cute ruffles in it and its a skirt I have had for ages (at least 5 or 6 yrs) again.......from Catos)! Well, that's it in a nutshell. As you know I love fashion, but I'm a bargain shopper and that wouldn't change even if I had money running like water. And as you can see, most of my wardrobe has been in my closet like forever!!!!! And most of all it has to be comfortable!

4th of July

Patriotic Outfit

I don't like having 4th of July in the middle of the week! I couldn't seem to get it together and our family was all over the place! A few of us ended up getting together at church (with plans to hit the waterside for the fireworks, which never happened. It was just too hot). And somehow I ended up doing all of the prep and cooking! I was really not trying to go there since I'm the lead planner for our family reunion in August.

A lot of my plans seemed to have gone down the drain this month. I didn't make it to Kansas to see my friend Alida from Belize, and this week Nicki and I found out that my girlfriend had canceled a planned trip to NY at the end of the month! But that is ok, next month Marc starts his two week vacation from WABC and we will be going to Lancaster PA and Hershey PA. No ifs, ands or buts about it! LOL

Thrift Store Finds

Its been a while since I posted any Thrift Store finds. We have actually been pretty busy so not much of a chance to do any collecting, but here are a few things I have picked up in the last few months!

$2.25 each for the stands

99 cents for the globes, at a different store!

$2.25 

$5.00 each!

$3.25 I think!

I don't remember the cost (I brought the flowers separately) but I didn't like the vase it came in. At some point I may change the flowers because I'm not feeling them like I did when I first purchased them. But I love the water pitcher! LOL

I think these were like $1.50 each. I love the colors of the glass and it smell great. Yes, I found "like" new candles at a thrift store! LOL

I love green, and I love garden theme stuff (can you tell...lol). Found these little cute teapot for $3.25. I plan to use it in my diningroom. At the moment I am concentrating on getting some stuff in my room organized and when it cools off again (its been in the 100's here) I plan to do some painting.
