White Floral Print Dress

 I think the dress I am wearing is one I bought at a thrift store in California for just one dollar.
The shoes are also thrifted, and the necklace.  This is an all thrifted outfit!

That is not always the case for me, since I do buy some things retail, but buying from thrift stores is my favorite, because it's always a treasure hunt!  I find that to be the best part!

Black and Gold Chevron Pattern Dress

Happy Friday!  I hope you are all having a great start to your weekend!

The dress I am wearing was a gift from my mother from several years ago.  The neckace was only $1 and it was purchased from an antique mall.   The coins on it was so pretty!  I love coin necklaces, anyway, and I thought it was perfect how well this one matched my dress!

The bad is something I bought from Goodwill this year.  I love the size, it really is perfect for holding everything I actually need.

The sandals are also a Goodwill purchase from this year.  It's always great to have a pair of basic, black sandal heels.

Pink Butterfly Print Sleeveless Top

I had another dental appointment today.  This was the last step before the actual implant!  Next time I go, I will be getting the implant post put in!  That will take several months to heal, but hopefully by the end of the year I will have the crown installed, and be back to my old self!  I am getting more used to having that tooth missing, but I would still rather have it.  It can be painful something when certain foods dig into the gum.  

After my appointment, Vaughan and I had some retail therapy.  We like to take the opportunity when we are in the city to shop at stores we don't normally get to go to.

Do you have any favorite places you don't get to shop at as often as you would like?

Neutral Top and Skirt

Vaughan, my parents and I all went to Busch Gardens, Williamsburg yesterday.
We had a lot of fun, and the weather was not too bad.  We arrived at around 4:30 or 5pm.  We were able to walk around the whole park, and take lots of photos.  I will be posting those on my Facebook and Instagram page, so be sure to check them out!

Did you know that Busch Gardens, Williamsburg is voted the most beautiful amusement park in the world?  If you are ever in the area, you should go and see for yourself!  Now, through July 4th, Busch Gardens is also offering free tickets for military veterans and three guests! Check here to see all the details.

I am wearing a necklace I purchased from Lowemart in this photo.  The top is something I thrifted several years ago in California. The skirt is something I also thrifted, but I think I found that since we have been back in Virginia. 

The bag and shoes were also recent Goodwill purchases.

Pink Vest Tunic Top

I bought this little tunic top in the L.A. fashion district.  I had it for several years now with the tags still on it, but I finally wore it this spring.

The cute, ribbon pin I am wearing is from Aliexpress, and it was only $3.30.  This style also comes in black.  I think it will be really cute to wear this fall with collared shirts that come up to the neck, too.

The leggings are ones I found at Walmart, and the sandals are one of my favorite pairs that I bought from Goodwill.  They are very comfortable, and really do go with most everything I wear in the spring and summer.

Blue Denim Jacket

As expected, I am so sore today from yesterday's fall down the stairs.  I have even more bruises than I thought at first.  

I told Vaughan this morning that I felt like I was put in a dryer with rocks.  That pretty much describes how I am feeling.    I also got a cut on my hand during the fall.  At first I thought it may need stitches, but I was happy to see after I got a better look at it that it should be fine on it's own.  I'm just using a tiny bandage for now.

We have plans to go to an amusement park tomorrow, so hopefully I won't be too sore to do all the walking we'll need to do!

Onward to what I am wearing...the dress its something I bought from a thrift store a few years ago.  The jacket is something I found at Roses a year or so ago.

I found a few similar things that are at the end of this post.

Faux Beige Suede Pants

I feel down the stairs this evening, and now I have all kinds of cuts, bumps and bruises. I guess they will be showing up in photos for a while...

How is your Saturday going?  I spent the day packing.  Yesterday, we finally finished one whole side of our fence.  I am so thrilled that part is over!  Since we had trouble with those neighbors, it has been very stressful each time we went to work on it.  

Also, I painted my dining room floor.  That is also something I have been wanting to do for a long time.  I actually love the look of painted floors, especially white. I went for a shade called "weathered oak", but it looks kind of grey.  I think I would have liked white, even better, but I am thinking I will leave it for now, because I can always change it later.  

I am so happy to have floors that look decent, now.  I will probably start taking a lot more photos inside.  Our house is over a century old, so there was lots of work to do when we bought it.  It's been a few years now, but there's still so much left to fix.  It's probably going to be many years before it's finished.

Have you ever done any home improvements?

Navy Blue Polka Dot Dress

I wore this dress to have dinner with Vaughan at Chevy's in Pentagon City earlier this month.  I found it to be very comfortable.  The fabric is thick, but stretchy, just how I like it.  I love the polka dots, and the navy and white colors.  The shoulders can be worn on or off.  I decided to go with on for this outfit, and I added a touch of color with this gold seashell and pearl belt I found at Goodwill recently.  

This dress is $18.00, and well worth it I think.  The fabric feels like something that will last a while, and doesn't seem to snag, etc.

Polka Dot Mini Skirt

I have had both this top and skirt for years.  I love polka dots, especially the larger sized ones like these.  My tee is made from a sheer fabric, so I wore one of my beige bra tops underneath.  I love that style of bra.  It is so comfortable because there is no underwire.  I don't know about you, but I hate having anything too tight around my waist, or chest, so these are my favorites.

I wore my black booties because it was raining outside before I took these photos, and I didn't want to sink into the ground.  I need more pavement, less dirt and grass my yard!

Orange and Blue Print Dress

I found this dress at a thrift store in Huntington Beach a few years ago.  I tried to find a few similar, one-shouder dresses, and they are at the end of this post, as usual.

The necklace was another thrift find, which I think I found at Lowemart, my favorite place to shop for jewelry in southside Virginia.  It's so chunky, huge, and over-the-top! 

I am not sure where I found my gold, chain bracelet, but I have several of them, and I think they are great pieces because they can be worn with so many looks.  Just throw on a gold chain bracelet, and it instantly adds a little something to elevate your look.

Light Green Beaded Dress

It was 100 degrees here in Southern Virginia today!  

It's been stormy this evening, so the internet has been on and off the past few hours, but I have finally managed to start this post.

I think I bought this dress years ago when I was living in Texas, so I am linking a few similar at the end of the post.

Sen YR Water Shoes Review

I am wearing my new Sen YR water shoes for today's post.  I ordered mine in a U.S. size 8 1/2, and the fit is pretty much perfect.  I am usually scared of buying shoes online because I have a hard time getting shoes that feel comfortable, so this was a huge relief for me! It helps that the balance has a lot of stretch, too.  I am looking forward to wearing these to Virginia Beach next month!

I love the thin these shoes are, it makes them perfect for travel and packing.  I would also wear these for walking, and other activities.   The soes have a removable insole, and small drainage holes in the bottom for water, and also comes in three other colors.

I picked black because I know it will go with eveything, like the outfit I am wearing, here. I love how even the bottoms are pretty!

The price is just $15.98!

Hawaiian Print Blouse

I could not find anything exactly like this blouse, but I have linked a few things similar at the end of this post.

I bought this top for about a dollar at one of my favorite stores in southern California a few years ago.  The clay color skirt is something I have had in my wardrobe for longer than I can remember, and the belt is something new that I just bought from Goodwill this spring.  

I picked up the beige bag from Goodwill this winter or spring, as well.  I love the bag, and how the color goes with so many things.  The size ifs nice, too.  Sometimes I really don't want to take a huge bag aroung with me, especially when I am shopping. 

I love how well everything goes together!

Shein Summer Wishlist

Summer is basically here, and I am still finding lots of new clothes for the hot weather!  What can I say? I love shopping! 
Shein is one of my favorite online fashion sources because they have so many options.  Trendy items, classic styles, and looks for all seasons, so there's something for everyone, anywhere in the world.
Shein has so many cute, new pieces for summer, too!  I'm sharing my summer wishlist, so keep scrolling!


This jacket is perfect for a lightweight summer jacket.  I think it's going to also be a great flal transition piece, too, because of the colors.

Orange Print Off Shoulder Dress

How was your Monday?  I spent mine indoors, and I have not been doing much, just a little blogging, and uploading a few videos to my Youtube channel.  It was an ugly, grey day, so I was happy to be inside, anyway.  No new outfit of the day, though.  I didn't really feel like getting dressed!

Today I am sharing several different off-the-shoulder, orange print dresses.  I think orange is such a fun color for summer, and the off-shoulder look keeps things cool and fresh.

I love how the one I am wearing fits me so well.  The necklace I am wearing is from Ebay, and it's one I bought several years ago.

Tan Through Swimwear

Beach season is here, but there's still time to shop for a cute new suit!  Can you ever have too many swimsuits, anyway?  I know I can't seem to!

I try to avoid the sun as much as possible, but when I do get the chance to go to the beach, I especially do not want to end up with tan lines.  I know some people are okay with, or actually like the look, but personally, I really don't like the look of tan lines, so I do my best to avoid them. 

If you are like me, you should totally look into Tan-Through swimwear line.  Their line of suits is made from Microsol V, a fabric that allows just a little sunlight sunlight for a mild tan, and an SPF property similar to a medium sunscreen.  It also dries fast, which is great because another thing I don't like, is sitting around in a wet swimsuit!

Tan-Through is not just all bikinis, either.  They have tops for women, and swim trunks for men, as well.  There are even polos, tees, and tanks for the guys!  There are also a lot of really cute prints and colors to choose from, so there's going to be something for everyone!

I have picked out a few of my favorites for this post:

Orange Blouse

We spent the day working on our fence, and we are almost done!  Probably just one more day of work and that side will be finished!  We have been working on it since last September, so we are all going to be very happy to see it done once and for all.

How was your Friday?

Shein Embroidered Mesh Dress

I have been seeing skirts similar to this dress for a while, so I was thrilled to finally get it, in a dress version!  The embroidery is just so beautiful!  It's unique, and not exactly like anything else I already have in my wardrobe.

I had a pair of earrings already that matched very well with this dress, but it is so ornately decorated, it looks beautiful all on it's own.

This dress is cool enough to wear on warmer days like it was here in Virginia today, but because of the darker color, I think this will also look great worn into fall.

This is such a pretty dress, and for only $22!

Sleeveless Black Sweater Dress

We finally made it back home from Maryland late last night.  It was a long two days for us!  The first day, we have to go through D.C. traffic in heavy rain...that was not fun!  

We got the chance to do a little shopping, but not much.  I was finally able to get a few pieces of the lemon dinnerware I have been wanting from the Dollar Tree, but just the bowls, no plates!  It's amazing how popular those must be!
