SOUTHWESTERN STYLE WITH TURQUOISE

Rain is setting in here in the mountains. That is a good thing for the area of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I am grateful to hear that the fires are out but the cleanup and dealing with the devastation has just begun. Please keep those affected in your thoughts and prayers.I live in the mountains of Virginia and Gatlinburg is a destination for many here in the area. It is only a 3 to 3 1/2 hour drive, so it is perfect for a weekend getaway. We occasionally have fires here in our mountains but thankfully never when the winds were so strong like they were a couple nights ago. As soon as I heard there was a fire and they were having to evacuate people I knew it was only going to get worse. The wind was whistling outside and was predicted to get worse that night and the next day. It, unfortunately, was the perfect storm for a disaster. I know it is bad, but it could have even been worse. The rains have never looked so good.These are some old photos that I found on one of my SD cards, so I decided to go ahead and use them. The pumpkins and the fern that stills looks alive are dead giveaways. Haha! I am wearing a top that I have had for a while but I don’t wear often. I am not a huge fan of the Southwestern style, it is just not a pattern that appeals to me. I see others wear this style and I like it on them, but it just seems to fall flat on me.

Because I had a Southwestern print on I decided to wear turquoise jewelry. That just made perfect sense to me. I am wearing some of my favorite pieces today. The Loudene cross necklace and the matching Jean earrings have quickly become some of my go-to pieces. I almost didn’t order this set because the pictures in the catalog were washed out looking but they are vibrant and not a bit washed out. The Eunice bracelet is one I bought back in the summer and I have worn this and worn this. You can see the chain dangling from the bracelet which shows you how much extra chain is available for those whose wrists are larger. I do like that most of their items can be adjusted from 7 to 8 inches. Some of the pieces may even go larger, but my DIL has tiny wrists and has a hard time finding things that will fit her. Because Christmas is right around the corner, I am extending my Plunder 10% refund offer for the rest of this month. I am also going to be having a couple giveaways for all my customers, so be watching for that. To place an order go to www.plunderdesign.com/party/taniaI have a lace-up pair of booties c/o White Mountain Shoes. These are Special Dust Suede Booties and they made the “Most Popular” list. I know why they are adorable!!! They even come in this burgundy color which I love.

Old Navy pixie pants are so easy to wear. They look great in the summer or winter so you will get your monies worth with these pants. The great thing about Old Navy is that you can find Tall, Petite, Misses, and Plus. You do not have to shop at specialized stores and the prices are affordable. They really should be paying me for being a spokesperson. Lol!

The fringed purse just seemed like it went with the Southwestern vibe but I am not a fan of the outcome. I wish I had carried a different purse, but that is hindsight. If I ever wear this again, which I won’t, I’ll carry a different purse. I would have to give this outfit a “C” but I tried. I read a Facebook post yesterday from one of my fellow bloggers who had some horrible comments on her blog. The worst comments were emailed to her, and I mean nasty comments. I know that most of you never leave comments, and that is fine, but I am soooo thankful that your mothers taught you to not say anything if you couldn’t say something nice. Hey, wait a minute, is that why you don’t leave comments? LOL!!!

Thanks for letting me know that you have been getting your email reminders. Now it makes me wonder if Joe has unsubscribed from me. Haha! He better not have if he knows what is good for him.

In the spirit of Christmas, I am extending my Rodan and Fields offer for 10% off all orders over 80.00 PLUS I am adding an extra little ? just for you. Everyone will receive something different but I promise you will love it. Lol!
