A PERFECT SUMMER COMBINATION
You have all heard me talk about how small Grundy is and how limited we are in our shopping. I probably have even told you that the choices we have to eat are extremely limited too. So when Joe asked me if I wanted to go grab some lunch with him today I said yes but I never imagined that I would be eating at a gas station. Lol! You can’t say that he doesn’t take me to all the nicest places in town. Hahaha
We just had a new station open and they have loads of food to choose from. I am not talking gourmet food but it really isn’t too bad. We went and sat down to eat (it has tables) and then Joe got up to go take our trays away. I saw him talking to one of our friends and I went over to speak. They were laughing about something and then she turned to me to tell me that she loved my blog. That just floors me when someone mentions my blog to me. I don’t know who I think reads the blog but I never think it is someone I know. Lol! I guess she could tell by my face that I was shocked but she kept talking and saying that I really was glowing. Then she really started laughing and said, “I bet Joe thinks “HE” is the reason for that glow!” I don’t know why Joe didn’t find it near as funny as the two of us did. Lol! I bet that is the last time he takes me out to eat for awhile. Hahaha
How about a day of just wearing solid colors? I don’t have on anything printed at all today. I believe that all my clothing came from Old Navy but not all at the same time. The white t-shirt is the only new purchase and that is because I like to buy a new white t-shirt every year. I still have one from another brand that is good but it never hurts to have a couple. This one is a deep round neck which is flattering. The hemline is also flattering because it is longer in the front and back and goes up on the sides.
Now for the little turquoise cardigan. I will wear cardigans all summer long because I love the look and also because I am cold natured. If you are someone who doesn’t like your arms to show then this is also a good option for you. Cardigans define your waist and help you to appear thinner which would be a reason I have one in almost every color there is. Lol!

Another winning outfit today Tania! The jewelry matches perfectly! Gas stations have some surprisingly good food sometimes. It’s been quite a while since I’ve eaten at one though. My favorite since I was a child has always been tater logs, when they are fresh out of the fryer – oh golly!
This one actually has really good food and the latest technology. Lol!
Tania as usual I love this look…looks so cute on you! I am a Jersey girl and hubby is from Tn. One of my first trips down there we were at his mom’s and decided to order a pizza…went with him to pick it up and got the shock of my life when he pulled into a gas station…all I said was: you’ve got to be kidding and guess what?? Best pizza I ever had and am still talking about it!! Lol
That made me snicker, Teri. I can just imagine the look on your face when he pulled into a gas station. Lol!
Super cute outfit!!!
Ha! Sometime I always thought eating at a gas station was an old Southern habit! Seems like they always have the best tacos or barbeque!
Be proud of your blog! You’re accomplishing great things for your readers, your family, and yourself.
This is a total “Brandye” outfit today…solids in bright colors. So, yea, I love what you have on!
Last day of school is tomorrow…teachers check out on Friday…then we are lake bound! WooHoo!
love the outfit never would I have mix up those colors together, l love the way it looks.
I just wanted to say I love your style and I’m so glad I found your blog. I am a plus size person (size 20-22) and I find that I can use your style inspiration in my sizes as well. I live in Canada and have to say, we don’t have a huge amount of plus size stores – like around 3. But with online shopping my choices have been greatly improved. I have lots of jewlery and then I don’t wear it because I think I look rediculous. But then I see you and now I’m trying to wear a piece every day. Amazing to think that without even knowing it, you have given at least me some confidence. So for that I thank you.
Lorraine, that is very sweet of you to tell me. I simply get dressed every day and write about my life. That is a pretty simple process. It is very humbling to think that it is encouraging for others.
I love these cool colors together. This reminded me of my coral ponte pants., I need to pull those out. Lol
I just want you to know that a few weeks ago, my daughters and I ate at Chef Point in Watauga, TX. Chef Point is a “gas station” in the Dallas area. You should look this story up about Chef Point’s owner, his name is Franson Nwaeze from Nigeria. Franson wanted to open a restaurant in the USA, but couldn’t get a loan for a restaurant, but they would give him one for a gas station. We ate outside in a beautiful garden area and the food was amazing and they were not gas station prices either. I had shrimp and grits. Everything was beautifully done and delicious! My girls had fancy drinks with a full meal on shishkabob sticks, in their drink. Lol ;-D
Don’t judge a restaurant by the gas station 😉
Where do you get your jewerly????
My daughter lives in a Dallas suburb, so she has an abundance of resteraunt choices, but her favorite place to get tacos is in a gas station ?
I don’t write a blog but I do love to take pictures and share them on my Facebook page. I often have friends comment when we run into each other how they love seeing my pictures! I had one friend, that I see once a month for a social gathering, comment that she liked seeing my posts because they’re always positive. It made my day. You, Tonia help to make my day ❤ everyday.
This is a nice fresh look!
