Tuesday Special

I don't usually post on Tuesdays but today is a special day. My son attended his 8th grade dinner dance last Friday evening and I was able to take some pictures AND post them! Of course he chose which pics to post and beggars can't be choosy. :-) He said he had a good time and he took more pics with his friends. Like I mentioned in my post on Friday, children grow up so fast and my son is almost as tall as me. Now I just have to prepare for the HS wars.

Slacking

| 14 comments

Usually if you see me in a pair of slacks it either means I have a job interview or I didn't have anything else to wear. Not just any pair of slacks, trousers or pants. The dressy slacks, you know the ones that are a little wide in the legs and corporate women wear. You know what I'm talking about. Well, that is the inspiration behind this week's Style Me Friday challenge. I didn't have an interview to go to and I had plenty of other bottoms to wear. These pants which is a red orange color, are considered dressy to me and I didn't have a hot date so me being Mo, I dressed them down just a bit. I rocked it with a graphic tee, gold metallic flats and a white blazer. My accessories include a gold statement necklace (I ordered from ebay for about $3 and it only took almost 3 months to receive. Yay!), gold bangles, and gold drop earrings.

Have an awesome weekend guys!

Goodwill Thrifting

| No comments

This past Saturday, Goodwill Stores had a 50% off sale on all apparel and shoes. I haven't been thrifting in a while so I spent my day digging for treasures. I mean, literally the entire day and night. I started at 9 right after my dentist appointment, which by the way, I will have one final appointment for in July. I went to about 4 different Goodwills. I was the last customer in one of them. I also stopped at Buffalo Exchange as they were having a dollar sale on select items to benefit the Humane Society. There were some cool digs but you couldn't try on anything and I didn't like that so I didn't purchase anything from there. I also took a break halfway through the day and chilled with Mel at the Berkeley Flea Market. We ate shrimp and chicken roti from the Caribbean food vendor. It was my first time having one and it's so good. It's thick and very filling. Okay, back to the haul. I scored 16 items for a total of $59. Is that a steal or what? :-) Here are my finds.
