Last night was “date night” for my husband and me. We went out for dinner and to see a show at the Cape May Convention Center.
We went in early enough to be able to take a walk after dinner. We usually take a photo or two using my phone (an LG G4), but this time used Michael’s new Galaxy S8, which I think takes a much sharper, vivid photo.
I know my photos are pretty boring! I still feel awkward having my picture taken out in public. I love the realistic “in action” shots that I see on some of my favorite blogs, like my friend Bettye’s blog “The Fashion Schlub”, so we did a few walking photos. All I can say is, we won’t be winning any photography awards.
We took a walk along the promenade, a path I never get tired of.
This dress made me feel a little dressed up, but at the same time is so comfortable .
I wore it with a pair of sparkly sandals previously shown here, and some thrifted jewelry.
The show we saw was by a tribute band called The British Invasion Years, and it was so much fun. The first half of the show was songs from the British bands of the 1960’s, and the second half American bands of that era finishing with a tribute to The Beatles. They do a lot of touring in the New Jersey/Pennsylvania area, but go to other states as well, so check out the tour schedule on their web site. It’s a great trip down memory lane, and just plain great music!
We walked through the park on the way back to our car — a lovely and romantic way to end the night.
My dress is a brand called “My Story”, which I bought at the Endless Summer boutique in Clermont, NJ. I confess I don’t remember how much I paid for it, but I know it was under $30.

Hi, Maggie-love the mix-I’ve seen ads in KC when a Beatle band comes through but never have gone. I always enjoy your shots no matter what phone you use. I have to admit, my Nikon spoils me but now that I finally have my IPhone 6, I use it a bit more.

You look great! I really feel inspired to shop more at thrift stores. But are you saying you got that jewelry second hand? Do you find stuff like that at estate sales rather than thrift stores?

Actually, I got both the earrings and bracelet at a yard sale!

Have just been reading your blog over the last couple of days and really enjoyed it, I also like charity shops as we call thrift shops in the UK, I live in south England, and love your style and where you live looks beautiful. Your cats are gorgeous too as I am also a cat lady too, love them. Congratulations on achieving your weightloss and I look forward to reading your future posts. I also enjoy your blog because there is not too much selling/advertising. I keep a note of the brands and stores you mention so when I visit the US in the future I can check these out. Good luck with your shopping, old and new!

Hello, Jane! I sometimes feel as though my blog is really too mundane, so I’m thrilled that you like it. I do sell some of my thrift finds online and you may see some of those here and there, but my purpose is just to connect with other regular women trying to look good in their everyday life on a budget. The fact that you’re a cat lover is a bonus! Thanks so much for commenting!
