Meet A Few Brave Gurls
Boy you can sure see the copper highlights in my hair today. This is what I wore to church on Sunday. We had a wonderful lesson, but I can’t help and wonder if the message was meant for me. I don’t think my preacher was preaching to me, I wonder if the Lord was using him to preach to me. Part of the lesson was on narcassim. It is hard to have a blog about fashion without centering on ones self. Is it wrong to blog? 
I am in a wine or berry mode now. I went and finally got a new manicure on Saturday and ended up getting the same wine color as before. Romeo and Joliet, or #17 on the color dial at my nail salon, just speaks to me. It was the same with this silky turtleneck. I was trying to find a shirt to wear with my gray skirt, and this shirt was just yelling, “pick me, pick me”! Haha I bought this last year at Old Navy in this color, and light and dark gray.
I was trying to get a good picture of this necklace. It is from Premier Designs, and it hematite plated. You get a good look at the faux fur vest in this pic as well.
Someone asked me about this purse the last time it was carried. I had forgotten to give details, (hard to imagine) on its make and where it was purchased. It is a Dooney & Bourke, and I bought it at the QVC outlet. These boots are a couple of years old, but they are probably still my favorite pair I own. They are a quality pair of boots. The inside of these boots are completely fur-lined, even on the bottom. Mine says, Made in Italy, but here is a pair from Talbots.
I bought this Xhilaration vest at TJ Maxx last year, however when I searched online, I could only find these at Target. It is very similar, just a little different color. The last time I wore it was here.
You might remember I asked you ladies to send a picture of yourself so I could feature YOU on the blog. It seems most of you are a little camera-shy. I want to give a big thumbs up to these brave ladies who decided to participate. It is not easy to put yourself out there for the whole world to see.

Meet Lisa. This one I will make a comment about. Really lady, you send me a picture with swirly things. Was this your “I am trying to look smart” pose? Lol!!! This is my sister, and she has no idea that I stole her picture. She is a reader, so I had to include her. Hahaha She is lucky I picked a good picture, instead of some I could have picked. She has to be nice to me, or I can make her pay on the blog. AND, I have to be nice to her, or she will write something mean about me in her new upcoming book. Can you envision the villain being named Tania?

No Tania he was preaching to me, remember I was right beside you!
You did look great in this outfit!
Maybe that nature of blogging is to be a little self-centered, but it’s with a purpose. We have to wear clothes, why shouldn’t they be cute? It’s a public service really. I think you’re great!
Have you ever noticed that when you’re dressed well, you usually get better service? It doesn’t even matter where….the airport, WalMart, the doctor’s office, etc. Maybe it shouldn’t be that way, if we all worked in Christ’s image, but it seems to be human nature.
Ha! I didn’t send a pic. I literally hate every pic of me. I’m the least photogenic person ever! Well, me and Chandler Bing. Love that Friends episode.
That is hilarious Brandye! Try a tripod and a timer on your camera. It really helps, I hate having someone take my picture. I feel so silly trying to smile and feeling fake. The timer is wonderful, plus I have the power (me and HE Man) to move the bad pics to the trash bin.????
Bless your 102 yrs young Grandma!! Love reading what you are up to each day! Puts a smile on my face!
LOVE your blog!! Question…how do you organize/store all your wonderful stuff???? =)
Organize, Lori, hahaha! No such word in my house. Lol!
Hahahaha…I didn’t make the cut for the photos. 🙁 Oh well! I still love your blog and I look forward to it every day!
Melanie, did you send me a picture? I looked in my inbox and didn’t find one. I even checked the spam box just in case, and still no picture. I am so sorry!!!????
Hey you blog title; Fifty is Not Old is such a true statement. Hey I say that 60+ is not old and my brain is not dead. LOL Love the fact that women are speaking out about age and wearing clothes to flatter their body rather than putting on a sack. LOL again! It is time for us ladies to let the world know that we are still alive and kicking and will be until…….who knows when!!!
Thank you,
Linda
So, true Linda! My grandmother is 102 and she would still dress stylishly, if they would let her.
Self-centered…nah! Doing the public a service…yes! I think we all tune in not just for the outfits but your humor also.
I am thrilled to be included in your GURLS. They look awesome and any friend of my sister is a friend of mine! -Sister
Tania, I love your blog! I do not think it is self centered to enjoy clothing and to share with others. Many of the bloggers that I follow have very different styles than I do so it is difficult to imitate their ideas. Your pictures have already given me a number of ideas! I also really love your sense of humor. Your articles make me smile, sometimes laugh, and I really appreciate that! I look forward to the emails and think every day, here is someone I wish I could meet. God bless you!
Thats wonderful Kendra. You gurls make me smile everyday too with your comments????
