What I've being...

 I tried to post 3 to 4 times a week, but this week its being at bit difficult to get my pictures download and get moving with the writing! 
Lots of homework, grades, mami's duties, cooking, reading and checking my lovely blogger friend's posts---have left me very little available time!!!! 

Here are two of this week's outfits.....




My favorite skinny jeans.
Liz&Co jacket from JCPenney (6 years old).
The Limited purse, thrifted last month. I adore this purse!
It's so feminine and very spacious!





My "Roman" sandals. I called them Roman because my youngest
daughter wore them for her performance as a Roman soldier in the comedy
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum last fall. And they are still standing 
like a Roman column. 
The brown belt was thrifted back in February and has the
a pretty big buckle!




The first necklace, I bought it from my old friend Carmen back in 2002.
She brought it from The Dominican Republic and came with the ring.
You can see the ring in the second picture. 
The other two are from Steinmart (I think).




The bracelets are from India and are all gifts.
Sorry but
no time to take close up photos of the bracelets and rings.





I love this t-shirt. A lot of people at my job and when I'm out
doing chores, would asked me if I only buy
products that are not tested on animals. A colleague told
me how proud she is of me for supporting this cause!!!!
Really, people this is a sarcastic shirt!! The mouse is taking
a freaking test--not being plucked to pieces!!




Cardigan from Target (ages old).
Men's Target Shirt (2007).
Belt was thrifted last month and still has the original $24.00
sticker on. I paid $2.00 for it.
 It has beautiful little red, yellow and green
flowers. 
a.n.a. Sandals, thrifted last month.




My jeans from New York and Company from 2007. 
They go up to my anckles but I never like how they fit 
on my legs so I been
folding them into capris for many years now!
The 3 bracelets on my left arm are made of wood 
and were thrifted many moons ago and the one
in my right arm belongs to A.





The Who, one of my favorite bands of all times!!
I have seen them twice; my favorite was in 1989 at Tampa Stadium!
I cried and almost hyperventilated because I was so overwhelmed
with emotions!  As a young girl I was in 
deep and utter in love with Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend!!
I move to The USA for the first time in 1988; this concert was 
one of the first miracles on my life
in The USA. 





Both necklaces are very hippie-like with a touch of Caribbean
flavor and they are from Steinmart. I bought them as a 
present to myself on my birthday back in 2008.




Rock rings. Indian purse, a gift from Shafali (2007).


I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my new stylish and quite gorgeous followers and let you know that I always read and comment in all of you blogs (as well as follow).

community involvement, cultural background, great shoes, purses, accessories---- 
that makes me want to do better with my blog and with my life!!!

MyStyle said...

Hi my dear-lovely summery vibrant outfits and I adore your Who tee, so fabulous its from back in the day too!! Have a great weekend xxx

the Citizen Rosebud said...

The second outfit is the scene stealer, Ofelia, not sure why it does but it does. Possibly due to the pant roll up- you look so effortlessly chic here. And bonus points for the Who Tee. We may need to negotiate a swap between us! xo. Bella Q

IMAN said...

There should be more than 24 hours in a day. Time management is difficult for many people. I'm grateful that you some time to snap photos of those pretty jewels. I dig the mouse shirt, it's hilaroius,

Ofelia said...

Iman, you right! I tried to do so many things in one day that by 9:30 p.m. I'm like a zombie!!
Thanks so much about my jewelry and yes I love that pink shirt I usually wear it during the State Testing; as a personal protest!!!

Mode Plus said...

Hi Ofelia,
There's so much that I can comment on the content of your post. Ok, first I hear you about not having enough time to balance it all out. I've given up on handling my blogroll (too many). So I focus on the blog for now and try to RT as much as possible. Secondly, loving how you make a garment (=denim pants) work for you. You wear the clothes not the other way around right?And thank you for stopping by and commenting. I too appreciate diversity. Let's celebrate beauty from around the globe.

Annimal House said...

Ofelia said...

D from Mode Plus, I tried very hard to check, read and comment on all of my favorite blogs and take care of mine at the same time. Its hard work and I love it! I
I think diversity gives spice to our lives.
Thanks for liking my outfits!!

Ofelia said...

Ann, thanks on my sandals!!! I have a thing for sandals like you have a thing for your fantastic boots!!!
Our weather is beautiful but a bit too hot for me!

Vix said...

One of my favourite festival moments was Roger Daltry joing Paul Weller on stage at sunset on a glorious day and singing Magic Bus - it was magic.
Love the hippy beads with The Who tee shirt and your big bag is ace! x

Ofelia said...

Vix, Roger and Paul Weller; that was an amazing moment!
