ADDING A POP OF COLOR FOR INTEREST

Oh my goodness, the rain just keeps coming and coming. I have seen several places flooding and I hate seeing that in the news. It is so sad to see people work all of their lives and then it wash away in a few hours. The rain here hasn’t been quite that bad but I came home yesterday to a surprise. The wind had picked up the patio umbrella and thrown it into the pool. ?When Joe and I were in Cancun he became especially fond of the umbrellas he would lay under at the pool. When we got back home he started looking for the ones that he wanted to get. I do wish he had asked me first since he ordered “red” and that wasn’t a color I would have chosen to go with our furniture. The crisis was averted when I found some throw pillows that would bring it all together. I told you, ladies, that it is all in the accessories. Lol! Anyway, I fished the umbrella out of the pool since it was in the shallow end and when Joe came home he tightened it back really well and told me to make sure that the umbrellas were closed when we weren’t home. Message received, Skipper! Then, today a storm blew up and we had no idea it was even coming. I heard a noise from outside and I got up just in time to see an umbrella go flying into the deep end of the pool. It was like watching the Titanic as it slowly sunk to the bottom. I told Joe and he asked if they were closed. YEP! They were closed and it still found its way into the pool. While I was talking to him the second umbrella decided that it wanted to go swimming also. Lol! At this time all I could do was laugh. Lol! SO, if any of you have any suggestions that will keep me from umbrella fishing every day I would appreciate the help. This top is really old, like maybe 4 or 5 years if not older. I looked for the brand but it was something that I had never heard of. I think that I might have bought this at TJ Maxx but I am not positive of that either. Lol! I liked the crispness of the top and I liked the color block style. The colors are the same but the print is broken up by the blocking. It just gives the top some added interest. I would have sworn that I had worn this top on the blog before, I really meant to if not, but I looked and searched and can’t find it. If any of you can find it on the blog I will gift a free Plunder necklace to the first person who finds it. Lol! I am either half crazy or blind. I am not sure which.

How do you like this teardrop pearl necklace? This is the Chantilly and I love it. I had this and the matching earrings on my “want” list to order and when I went to the mailbox after I got home on Sunday, there it was. I had a package from Plunder with catalogs and jewelry!!! I have no idea what I did but I’ll take it. Lol! I need to still get the earrings so they will be on my next order. The Torilyn bracelet just same in too. It is a magnetic closure type bracelet with 7 rows of pearls. I really like how elegant this bracelet looks. It has a link or two that can be removed and it is adjustable to 8.5″. Today is the LAST day to take advantage of my MAY special. When you make a 50.00 purchase (excluding taxes and shipping) you will receive a FREE piece of jewelry from me as a gift! Go to plunderdesign.com/taniastephens and hit the shop tab. Pick a party with my name on it and then have fun. I keep seeing this style flat this year. The first pair that I saw was by Michael Kors but they didn’t have the size that I wanted. Then, I found this pair by Aerosoles at TJ Maxx and I fell in love with the color. Shoes are my Achilles heel. Lol! (Get it) I don’t have a lot of shoes and they all tend to be the same style. This was out of my norm and I love that! A pop of color is fun and it makes you feel alive. Try it and let me know if you agree.

My white pants are my favorite. These are Lisette and they were c/o Purple Poppy. I love the tummy panel that helps with control issues. These are thick and a great quality so I don’t have to worry about panty lines showing through. A trick that you might want to use is to wear beige or nude panties when you wear white. If you wear white they will show against your legs but nude just looks like part of your leg. Of course, you might get asked if you are going commando. ?Today is the LAST day for the extra 20% savings on the AMP tool. Today is the end of several good things. Lol!
