I AM CRAZY ABOUT GINGHAM

If you have grandchildren, then you know that they can talk you into almost anything. That was the case this past Saturday when Emersyn and I went to the park. But, later on, that afternoon after she got finished helping her dad wash cars, they came over to the house and we were all outside on the porch. It was beautiful on Saturday and the temperatures were really warm. Emersyn was running around in the yard and yelled out to me that she could do a cartwheel, “watch me NeeNee!”She was adorable trying to do her cartwheel and then she started in on her daddy and mommy to do a cartwheel. Kayla was actually pretty good and Joseph looked a lot like Emersyn. Lol! I tried to sneak and video his attempt but he caught me and wasn’t having that. Then, it was NeeNee’s turn. Gurl’s, do you know how long it has been since I had even tried to do a cartwheel? Let’s just say that it has been a long time. Lol!!! Anyway, my attempt might have been very similar to Josephs and Emersyn’s but I made up for it when I showed her how to do a split. Yes, I can still do a split! The little rat plopped right down and did a perfect split. I was amazed at her and Joe was astonished at me. Hahahaha!It looks like I am styling gingham again today. (Check out yesterday’s post also) I told you that I was seriously crushing on the gingham print and I have been for about 3 years. If I see something gingham it is like I don’t have the power to walk away. Lol! Maybe the checks are putting me into a trance. Anyway, I bought this cute gingham top the other day when I went shopping at Old Navy. I loved the banding around the top and even though it is made to wear off the shoulder, I chose to wear it up today just like a normal top. This gingham top is made from a cotton/rayon blend and it is machine washable which is a big plus! I bought the navy (like I did the tote) but it also comes in red. I chose to wear the navy and white print with my white pants c/o Purple Poppy. I got these in January right before I went to Lake Oconee (see here) and I love, love, love how they fit. This is a pair by Lisette and I love that they have a tummy control panel in the front. That is worth its weight in gold!!! White pants are a staple in the summer and a classic that will not go out of style. If you don’t already own a pair, then you need to get a pair. You will wonder how you ever did without them.

Here is a view from the back and also a view of the bottom of my shoe. I bet it isn’t every blogger that you follow that will show you the bottom of their shoe. Lol! I felt so bad that I went and cropped another picture just so that I could show you these cute shoes. I doubt if they are even still available since it has been close to 2 years since I got them. They were c/o Nina Shoes and they were my first shoe that wasn’t a safe and predictable navy, brown, black, etc. type shoe. I was so afraid that I would never wear these and that people would stare at my feet. Instead, I wear them all the time and I am so thrilled when I see people staring at my feet. LOL!!!I have been sharing the business opportunity of Rodan + Fields a lot of this month. There is a great reason that I have been doing this. I truly love helping women. I started this blog for that very reason. I wanted to boost the confidence of women through fashion. Rodan + Fields was not a business that I was looking for but I am soooooooooooooooooo glad that I was so vain that I ordered the products. Then, I am soooooooo glad that I the products worked for me and that I was so impressed that I wanted to sign on as a consultant. This has been a blessing for me and my family, it truly has and I want to give you the same gift. I use the word gift because that is exactly what it is!!! Please, please, please, at least give this some thought. I would love that next year you look back and say, “I am so glad that I contacted Tania about R+F.” Message me at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com and go to tstephens5.myrandf.biz and check out the business kits.
