CAN WOMEN IN THEIR FIFTIES WEAR A HALTER TOP
I left work on a little early on Wednesday afternoon to go home and just relax. I opened the gate to walk onto the patio and I could hear squeals of laughter coming from that direction. I knew what that meant, my little stinker Emersyn must be swimming in the pool. I opened the gate and walked in and when she saw me she jumped out and came flying over. Come swim, NeeNee!!! This was just what I need to help me relax.
First, she had to have a sandwich fixed and she was very specific about what she wanted on it. It could only be ham and nothing else. Since I only had some turkey I tried to talk her into that but she flat out refused. So, I fixed her the sandwich with the turkey and handed it to her and said ok, here’s your sandwich. She ate every last bite and even munched down on some broccoli salad. If I had told her that it was turkey she probably would have spit it out. I think this falls into the “what you don’t know won’t hurt you” category. After she ate we went out and played and played. It is funny what you will do for the grandbabies. We had to go under the water and wave at each other. She had goggles on but I didn’t so my mascara started to run. Joe laughed and said he was going to take a picture for you gurls of me with raccoon eyes. Lol!
I bought this halter top while I was in Alaska. I love the color, I would almost call this butterscotch, and I love the hem line, however, this is not my favorite style of neckline. I still envision the movies back in the 70’s where all the women had on halter tops when I see this style. They say that halter tops are flattering for most body types but that those who are chesty might have more problems.
I love my trellis pane ankle pants. These are the lightest gray or silver and I think it looks fabulous with the yellow. I love the color combination! I also wear these pants with navy, (here) which really makes the silver stand out. I normally wear a solid color when I wear a printed item, I am not the best at that whole pattern matching trend. Lol! Remember, is just a matter of personal preference. You wear what you like. Just don’t wear pajamas to Wal-Mart! Hahaha!
This has been a great month for my Rodan + Fields team. We have been making plans to attend a convention in October in Charleston, SC and I am so excited to see everyone again. I personally have been lucky to have gotten several emails from customers telling me how much they like the products which NEVER gets old. I had two ladies cancel their PC accounts but only because they decided to become consultants themselves!!! WooHoo! How exciting that they will be able to buy their products at a huge discount and then hopefully make some spending cash for the extras in life, like new shoes and clothing. Lo! On a completely different note, some of you saw me post my “naked” picture without makeup. Rodan + Fields gave $561,000.00 in contributions to programs to Prescription For A Change. This company really is awesome.

Yes we can!
I love this look. I bought a bunch of halter tops & halter dresses last year. Since I spend so much time in Florida and it is so hot in the summer they are great cool and classy look. I love them! Having said that I am not busty and I don’t wear any that expose my entire upper back. Grandchildren make you do the craziest thing. My oldest granddaughter asked me to sit on the bottom of her pool with her and hold hands 5 years ago. I told her do you know how old I am. She said yes but wouldn’t you be so proud to be able to tell your friends what you did! She got me and I have been doing it ever since. My kids get a kick out of it because neither of their grandmother ever went in the water above their knees………….
You look fabulous as usual. The jewelry is perfect, love the colors and the answer is yes on the halter top. I love your blog, its like sharing a cup of coffee and a chat.
You always look good but I’m afraid this halter neck top does nothing for you. Sorry .. just my opinion.
Great Summer look! I am glad that I am not the only person who loves yellow!
I like the halter top on you and think its looks fine. I haven’t found a strapless bra that is comfortable to wear either. There are so many cute maxi dresses out there but I would need a strapless bra to wear them. Can you please advise myself and all the others what kind is comfortable and if anyone else has any recommendations please chime in. Thanks!
What type is bra would you wear with the halter top?
I love your top and how you look in it! I recently bought a similar cream colored top with spaghetti straps. I wore a cardigan over it the one time I’ve worn it. I’m headed to the beach next week for our annual girl’s trip with my sisters and extended family and was debating how I could wear it. It’s so hot in Florida that layering just didn’t seem to be a good idea. I’ve decided to wear it as is….I’m 61.
You and your outfit look fantastic. I love patterned pants. I always try to be creative with what I wear them with on the top half.
Maybe you should do a week of the same pant with different looks each day!
Cool idea, Valerie!!!
