CAN YOU MIX SILVER AND GOLD
And another week bites the dust! Boy that went really fast and next week will go even faster with all the grandbabies here. I can’t wait to have all the laughter and fighting in the house. It would normally be so quiet after they leave except that they are leaving and we are leaving for Alaska on the same day. We will drive down to Atlanta on that Saturday and then fly out on the following Sunday. If you have never been to Alaska you are missing out on some gorgeous views.
My daughter was in charge of making the arrangements. I should have know better. Lol! I told her that we would stay from Sunday to Sunday. I happened to notice that my tickets say from Sunday to Tuesday. Then I will still have to drive home on Wednesday. This is going to wear me out, I will need a vacation to recover from my vacation. Haha! If you want to see some gorgeous views then check out my daughter’s Instagram feed. https://www.instagram.com/akuatic_ashleigh/
Cutsey and feminine is how I would describe this top. I think it is the unique detail of the three layers of ruffles. I almost felt like a flapper today. Orange and white (Go Vols) is a classic color combination or at least it is in Tennessee. Lol! The deep v-neckline and the cute cap sleeves all add to the overall appeal of the top. This was on the clearance rack at Cato’s last week.
Notice anything different in this picture? Charlcy was so sweet to send me two ferns for my front porch. They were delivered late Wednesday. Thanks, bunches, I promise I will actually water them. Lol! And now for my favorite pair of shorts. I love the fit of this pair of Bermuda shorts from Old Navy. I am not sure how old they are but I am on a quest to buy me some more. They hug your leg and give you a slimmer silhouette. The material is stretchy and they are sooo comfortable. Can you tell that I like them? Lol!
WOW! You gurls really know a good deal when you hear one. I spent all day answering questions, figuring out the best way to purchase things, and setting up calls for today and tomorrow. If you are saying what is she talking about, it is a special that R+F decided to surprise us with. If you purchase any regimen and lash boost combo then you get 20% off the retail of buying the items individually. AND, if you purchase as a Preferred Customer (PC) then you will get an additional 10% off PLUS free shipping. That is a super good deal. To place an order you go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.com and scroll down to the Subscribe and Save tab to become a PC. The only thing that could possibly make it better would be if you were a consultant. As a consultant, you get 25% off your products. So you get 25% off the already discounted 20%. Is that as clear as mud? Hahahaha To become a consultant you go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.biz and choose the Become Your Own CEO tab. That is probably why I got so many questions today, I can’t fully explain this. Email me with questions to fiftyisnotold@gmail.com
Do you know what my number one referrer page is? It is Pinterest! I truly appreciate every time you “pin” a picture. Heck, pin ALL the pictures if you want. Lol! Also, if you would like to share my posts on Facebook or Twitter, I would appreciate that. It helps get my blog out to more people, and I am sure you just want to spread the entertaining sayings I have. Lol! The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.

Love this – been ‘a lookn’ for you to have a shorts outfit – wear them nearly 100% of the time – deep south, very hot. You look great. Luv Alaska, got to work there a few years ago, short contract. Had a blast. Thanks for your uplifting blog.
I so enjoy your bright, fresh color combinations. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with all of us.
Oh My Goodness, I found your blog just this week and I am obsessed with you 🙂 In a good way..not a creepy stalker way 😀 Your outfits are just amazing and adorable and your style is so… I don’t know…what I aspire to be?? I am 35, yet I love everything you wear. So excited I found your blog!
Alaska is beautiful. My husband went before we were married and he swears I would love it and we need to make a trip. His favorite excursion was going dog sledding and going up in the helicopter of course. I know you are going to have the best two weeks, spending time with your kiddos and sweet grands. Aren’t grands simply the best thing on earth? I know in heaven we will be surrounded by them 🙂
Love it!!! I love wearing shorts all summer long. Went over and checked out your daughters instagram and Alaska is beautiful, your daughter is also beautiful.
Hi Tania. This may be a weird question but do you choose the ads that pop up on your blog? I see an ad for Rotita swimwear and was wondering if you have ever tried them or if you know the quality of their merchandise. Thanks so much
It’s nice to see you wearing shorts, Tania! In fact, I just wrote some posts & an article for Sixty + Me about capris because I know my mom (the 70+ model) won’t wear shorts anymore!! My stepmom (the 60+ model) doesn’t really wear shorts much either, but she did break them out yesterday because it was so dang hot!!
I need to have both of them read your blog!!

Oh yes, I love shorts. Send them my way, Jodie.
Ok tell the lady that owns Cato she needs to open a store in CT! LOL! Love that top, have a great time next week with your small people invation!
Cristina, Cato is pretty much nationwide, you should check and see if there is a store near you. If not, then you can always shop online.
I love putting silver with gold. It’s such a visually arresting combination 🙂 when I used to design and create jewellery, I always mixed the two, sometimes the silver would be oxidised black but designs featuring that mixed metal pairing always sold well xo
Sheela, how exciting that you designed your own jewelery. I think that is exciting. I am drawn to items that have the mixed metals too.
Mixing silver and gold?? All day long!! I always get compliments on my accessories…not only do I mix silver and gold, but I also mix fine jewelry with costume jewelry. Don’t be afraid to experiment!!
I agree, Deborah. I hate living by some silly rules that people ages ago made. Not going to happen!
