Work OOTD and Amazon Prime

Happy Wednesday Y'all, it's Hump Day! 

Do you have Amazon Prime?  I think it's $75 per year, but you get free two-day shipping all year long (which we do a LOT of Amazon shopping, so we actually save money!).

Anyways, it seems Lallie is invited to two birthday parties per weekend!  Of course, we can't possibly make all of them, but I like to send presents as these children always return the same courtesy to Lallie.  But for this working mom, it's hard to make special trips for each and every party, so I'm thinking of just stocking up. 

Enter Amazon Prime.  I can buy several birthday presents and have them all shipped for free and usually it costs less than buying them retail!  It's a win-win.  In addition, I don't have to buy in bulk, but as the parties occur and there's not a time-crunch since it's two-day shipping.  Do any of you use Amazon prime?

On another note, Lallie got ahold of my iphone again yesterday.  It always makes me chuckle seeing the things she finds worthy of picture taking.  Yesterday, it was her favorite things.  ME (of course!), her Rapunzel doll and naynay (that go everywhere with us), her toes and fingernails and the pool.  (Lallie hasn't quite grasped that you have to hold the phone still while taking pictures). 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last but not least, my work OOTD (not a fabulous picture, I really need to work out my mirror situation)!  Today it's an Elizabeth McKay dress from last season (I think)?  It's giraffes and I've only worn it a couple times but I love it.  It's just fun.  My shoes are from Ann Taylor (suede and alligator leather) and they are older than Lallie!  I've had them re-soled, re-inserted and buffed up so many times at our local cobbler and they always come out shining new.  As long as that keeps happening, I'm a happy girl (especially since they were $200 shoes to start! They are getting their useful life for sure!)


Happy Wednesday Y'all!

  1. I don't use Prime yet but if I get a Kindle Fire for Christmas from Santa, I will start. I love Amazon!

    That girl has loved iPhones since she was just a wee thing. I have pictures of her playing with mine :-)

  2. Lallie is too cute with the pictures! When I was little I used to take my mom's camera and take pictures of wallpaper, but that was back when we used film. My mom loved seeing those pictures after she paid to get them developed! haha

  3. I am loving your OOTD pics! You look great! I told you once that our husbands were similar (balding, boats, fishing, etc.). Now one more reason: my husband is a Dolphins fan too. And I, too, wear things and wear things till they fall apart! Especially good shoes! Take care.

  5. I don't have Amazon Prime...for some reason, Amazon won't ship a lot of products to Canada any more, which make Prime a bit useless to me (at least the free shipping portion).

    Cute pics by Lallie! She is adorable!

    I love that dress!

  6. We've thought about getting amazon prime for the instant videos! Sometimes my husband and I will rent a movie to watch from Amazon so we've thought of getting Prime for that reason. But my husband thinks that the new release movies wouldn't be part of the Prime, that it's just the older movies/videos on there. Is that true?

    1. I'll have to ask Husband. I know we've rented several movies but can't recall if they're new releases or not! I'll get back to you on that. ;)

  8. I don't use Prime just because I don't shop enough for it. But I love spending more than $25 to get their free shipping. And with all the birthday parties I can see how well that works.
