Outfit of the Day, Fashion Over 50, Toothache, Chit Chat

HI EVERYONE!

I hope you are having a wonderful day! 

In this picture I am wearing Spanx Black Leggings from Dillards. 

The Black lace top is from Crackle Barrel Country Store and Restaurant.  They didn’t have a medium so I bought a large.  I probably should have returned it.  But it is lovely so I will try to make it work.  Because it is on the large side I wore another top underneath.

I have a long lace camisole underneath that I purchased from Target.  It is extremely long and this is the first time I am wearing it because of that.  It is also a racer back style. 

My black ankle boots are from DSW and the brand is Impo.  I have spoke about these on my YouTube channel.  They are so comfortable I could actually run in them if my life were in danger. 

I have a tooth that is giving me problems.  I have to go to an endodontist to have an old root canal reworked.  They will drill through my crown to get to the problem.  Sounds terrifying!  I am not looking forward to it but I don’t want this pain either.   I am on an antibiotic and my appointment isn't until next week.  Eek.

I have been trying to stay focused on some of my resolutions or goals for this year.  I do walk in the evenings if I get home in time or if the weather allows.  I need to read my Bible more than just in church.  I also need to concentrate on eating more vegetables.  How are you doing?  Comment below if you wish to chit chat.

HAVE FUN ON LIFE’S FASHION JOURNEY!

Number Seven of My 14 Favorites from 2014

Number Seven of My 14 Favorites from 2014

Hi Everyone! 

 Everyone was challenged on YouTube by Nathalie, TheBeautyDiva to come up with their favorite 14 items of 2014.  Most of mine were not makeup since I had just started my channel and had already talked about all my favorite makeup items.  So I decided to come up with a list of items that I used every day or that I would quickly replace if lost or broken. 

Nathalie's channel link:

I thought I would make a daily blog of each item one by one.

#7.  Sanuk Sandals

If I lost these sandals I would definitely go right out and buy more.  I bought these for my Mom and she LOVES them. 

Several years ago my best friend and I were catching up on the phone as we always do every Sunday.  We both told each other that we had found the perfect flip flops.  I went first and told her mine were black.  She said hers were black too.  I told her that the soles of mine were made of yoga mats and she said hers were too!  We found we had bought the same sandals the same week in two different states.  Each year we buy a new pair.  She has bought several black pairs.  I tend to go with a different color each year.

Here's one pair I think I need to buy this year:

I recommend wearing these in the house too if you have tile floors.  We have worn them each year on vacation.  You can walk all day in them.  The cute sandals that are in style right now are great but when you need to do a lot of walking these should be the ones. 

Below you will see us all wearing these sandals in Mexico. 

Have Fun On This Road of Life!!

Inspiration, Obsessed with Leopard, Cream and Camel

Inspiration, Obsessed with Leopard, Cream and Camel

We all get inspiration from different sources.  Sometimes I get inspiration from my faith and sometimes from my family.  Faith and family seem to go hand in hand.

Fashion inspiration can also come from different sources.  I love to search Pinterest for outfits.  Here are some different inspiration sources:

• ·        Pinterest
• ·        Magazines
• ·        YouTube
• ·        Instagram
• ·        Bloggers
• ·        People in your community

Many times when looking for one item, another item will come into your view finder. 

I was looking for some booties in saddle brown, luggage brown or camel.  A color I thought would go with everything this winter.  I went everywhere on this quest.  I still haven’t found what I am looking for.  But I did find a pair of awesome leopard booties at DSW.  But I didn’t buy them because they didn’t look good with my leggings.  My legs are really short so I have to be careful of anything that will cut them off and make them look shorter. 

BUT THOSE BOOTS INSPIRED ME.

I thought I would incorporate Leopard/Cheeta in my wardrobe by small pieces.  I shopped my closet and found two scarves and a short jacket.  So I didn’t want to buy too much more nor did I want to spend too much money. I also know too much Leopard can be overwhelming.  Leopard/Cheeta comes in many color combinations and pattern variations.  The inspiration boots for instance did not have any black in them.  They were all shades of brown and tan.  

I bought this Leopard purse by Karen Landry at Dillards.  I love it.  It has just enough black, brown and cream in it to make it classic.  It is also big enough for my Ipad.

I also bought two Leopard tops at Walmart.  The first one is a sweater cardigan.

The second one is sheer and has cut out details in the back yoke.  

Find inspiration to make getting ready in the mornings fun.  This last year I have been watching YouTube for hair and makeup ideas.  I want to stay vital even though I am 55 and will be 56 too soon.  I want to fight this battle against Mother Nature.  

Thanks for reading my blog.  Have fun on this Road of Life!

Life's Fashion Journey, Fashion Over 50, Outfit of the Day

Hi Everyone!

Please read my blogs  if you also love fashion, style, makeup, hair, health, books, travel and everyday chit chat!

FASHION OVER 50

Outfit of the Day

Don't you just love when you buy something new and you get it home and it perfectly matches something currently in your wardrobe?  I feel like I scored a touchdown!  

I bought these Spanx leggings in grey and they matched the Eileen Fisher sweater (with a hood) that I bought last year or the year before.  Now I have a perfect outfit.  The sweater never really looked good with my Eileen Fisher pants.  They were meant to go together but I think this combination is more current/on trend.  

I just purchased these shooties from Rack Room Shoes based on a Facebook friend's blog.

I had a white pair and a navy pair of Spanx from last year.  I never wore them much last winter because I didn't think my boots looked right with them.  But I wore them a lot in the Spring and Summer with cute sandals.  Now I have these shooties in black and beige and I think I can wear these all Fall and Winter and into Spring.  

I tried on 49 pairs of leggings and jeggings and none of them fit better than these Spanx.  (Okay maybe I am exaggerating a little)  So, even though they are pricey, I went to Dillard's and bought 3 more pair for this year.  I bought them in grey, brownstone, and of course black.

Thanks for reading!!  

I hope you have fun along your fashion journey!!
