T-SHIRT AND JEANS
Did everyone survive the weekend? It is playoff time in the NFL and I bet a lot of you had football games playing in your house. I don’t watch a lot of television, in fact, unless Emersyn comes to visit, the TV is never turned on. But this past Saturday I didn’t get out of the house because is was yucky outside, so I relaxed with two dogs beside me and watched a couple games. My sister lives in the Atlanta area so I know her household was happy. LOL!
Joe has had a lingering cold ever since we got back from Tennessee. This has been ongoing now for about two weeks. He just can’t seem to shake the cold and is not a happy camper. You all know how men are when they are sick. Lol! It makes it worse that I looked like I was going to catch a cold but only felt bad for one day. He says I am not human. Hahaha
I thought I would go casual today. A plain white long sleeve t-shirt and a pair of jeans is just a normal outfit that I bet everyone has in their closet. I added a Motto cable knit cropped open cardigan to take the look to another level. The cardigan is a gorgeous deep wine color. I seem to be in a wine, burgundy, purple color mode. I wore this, this, and this all recently. The cardigan came from the overstock store in town but here are a couple similar.
My skinny jeans are Vigoss that I bought at Maurices. I really dread when skinny jeans go out of style, they can be very flattering. It took me a long time before I finally bought my first pair and I felt really silly in them. But when no one made fun of me I figured it must be alright. I can’t believe I am going to quote Katy Perry, but here goes.
In case you are wondering about the earrings I have on, they were part of a Plunder set that is not available. I didn’t care for the necklace so I gave that away. I liked the earrings so I kept them to wear with other items. I wanted to briefly talk about Plunder and Rodan and Fields. I have had a couple comments made that they didn’t appreciate me mentioning these companies on my blog and that they found it too distracting. First, I also can sell Stella & Dot, Chloe & Isabel, and LipSence but you don’t hear me mentioning those companies. I LOVE the Plunder items and I wear them for that reason. I signed up in order to be able to get the discount and I link to them so that you can also enjoy the items, the same as I try to do with my clothing. Secondly, I use Rodan and Fields and I LOVE the results of my skin. I never mentioned anything about R & F until you gurls started asking me what I was doing. Why would I not mention these two companies that I really love? Why would I not try to make a few dollars off of my blog? You do not have to purchase anything, EVER, and I always try to only mention R & F at the very end of my post so I do not “bother” anyone. But remember, just because you have read my “deals” over and over, doesn’t mean that someone new is not reading this for the first time. If you are interested in either or these companies or their products, look at this post where I answer questions concerning them.
Part of my 2017 goals is to grow my subscriber list on the blog. If you are not a subscriber PLEASE take the time to sign. Also, if you would like to share my posts on Facebook or Twitter, I would appreciate that. It helps get my blog out to more people, and I am sure you just want to spread the entertaining sayings I have. Lol!
The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.

Tania,
I am new to your blog, but love it! I was on YouTube one day and ran across one of your videos. Right then, I searched for your name and found your blog! Love your style. Love the Plunder pieces too and want to learn more.
Blessings,

Welcome to my blog, Ashley! I am so happy you have found your way and are interested in Plunder. Plunder is a wonderful jewelry line that I found back in June 2016 and I was so impressed with the first couple of pieces that I bought, I signed up to be able to sell it. Lol! The jewelry is nickel-free and hypo allergenic. Everything comes with a life-time guarantee as well. If you are interested in purchasing anything, yo u go to http://www.plunderdesign.com/party/believe (my current party) and hit the shop button. If you would like to know more about the business and would like to signup to sell Plunder, just email me at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com
Tania,
I LOVE this outfit on you. The color of the sweater is beautiful and I like the boots you are wearing with it. Hope Joe feels better soon!!
Tania, can you send me your email or post it again? I’m interested in joining Plunder. Thanks!
Paula, you can email me at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com
Hi Tania. I live in Australia so the information on Rosen & Fields and also Plunder does not really concern me as they arent available here. I just skip over those bits and zoom in on your pictures to try to see if I can copy the look!!
Love your blog.
Suzyq, you should have read those posts because Rodan and Fields is coming to AUSTRALIA!!! I have already pre-enrolled a couple ladies from Australia and you could be next. Pre-enrollment is FREE!!! Go here to join and see what Rodan and Fields might have in store for you. https://rodanandfields.com.au/preenrol
I love this casual outfit. Simple and classy.
With regard to complaints about your mentions of Plunder and R & F – pay them no mind. If someone is not interested, they can enjoy the earlier content and then move on.
Don’t worry what people say. It is your blog which you can say and do as you please. I am quite sure starting a blog is not easy, nor is keeping it going and interesting. I give you credit for doing so. As much as most women spend on skin care products, knowing there is a product that has made a huge difference is important to share. I applaud it.
I like your personal stories with your style descriptions…I don’t want to sell anything so I don’t read that part! I like your classic looks bc it’s more my style but enjoy seeing what you put together each day!
