ADDING A POP OF COLOR WILL BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY
I had the best time this afternoon. My DIL and I took the grandchildren up to a small park that has lots of wooden playground equipment for them to play on. They ran and screamed, they swung on swings, slid down slides, and even came down a pole from the second floor of the playhouse. They were worn out by the time that we were ready to go to the house.
Like all good times, they must come to an end. The grandbabies were not happy about having to leave, so I promised them that we would stop on the way home and get them Subway. They LOVE Subway and immediately started talking about what they were going to eat. All of the way home, Beckham kept saying, “I want to do that again.” It was a good day, and I agree with Beckham, “I want to do that again!”
I’ve been wearing so much black or black and white, that I thought you might like to have a dose of color. This bright pink balloon sleeve blouse is a huge pop of color, and I like how it makes my face glow. The v-neck and the bishop-style sleeves are flattering, and the top camouflages a lot of my flaws.
I promise that I am not doing this on purpose, but the blouse is down to only XS and S sizes. It is on sale, so the larger sizes go the fastest. I’m wearing a medium in the top, and I might could have worn the small since it is plenty roomy. I think that I am going to start posting what I have placed on order for upcoming sessions, and then you at least have a chance to grab something for yourself before they all sell out. If I can find anything similar, I link to it below.
Look at the Lillia Butterfly pendant necklace in Rose Pink Kyocera Opal. This is a brand new collection that just launched in time for Mother’s Day. The butterfly was my grandmother’s favorite type of jewelry, and this necklace reminds me of her. I paired it with the Davis gold multi-strand necklace. This necklace has three strands, but I removed one of the strands and only wore two of them.
The loose fit jean is growing on me more and more every day. I love not counting the dimples on my legs that might have been visible in some of my skinny jeans. Lol! You might recognize these jeans from when I wore them with a beautiful yellow sweater. I sized up to a 31 instead of my normal size 30. I size up because the higher rise jeans waist can be too tight on me since I carry a lot of weight in the tummy area. Yay, me… The jeans are cut slimmer through the hips and thighs and then fall straight to the ankle. That creates body balance and is very flattering to almost everyone.
This Dooney & Bourke domed crossbody handbag is perfect for running around town. I love the small size that is great for not weighing you down, but big enough to hold money, credit cards, a phone, a mask, and lipstick. You know, all of the essentials. Lol!
The handbag is available in red or soft blush color, but I am partial to the white. The bag is white pebbled leather with brown leather trim, and it goes great with my Tory Burch ballet flats. I also added a brown belt to my look to tie the outfit together. Everyone needs a brown and a black belt because you never know when you might need one. Here are some that are similar to the one that I am wearing.

I love this blog!! Love it! The only problem I have is I am a 46 yo married, mother of 4, who is working 2 jobs and taking online classes and cannot afford any of these items. I have to search for similar items at cheaper stores like Wal-Mart,Old Navy, eBay, Amazon, etc..
Michelle, just keep looking at posts because I do a lot of clothing from those stores.
Love your style and posts
Looking for those jeans just not willing to spend 100
Any ideas
I love your look! You nailed it. What is your lipstick shade?
What a fun top. Love the whole outfit. 😍
I have that same blouse and love it!! It was so comfortable and flattering! I wish it had come in other colors.
I love the outfit on you, but the hot pink would be too bright for me.
I found some in Petite sizes, including a pretty floral print – thanks Tania! 🙂
I love this outfit. It looks comfy, casual but a little dressy also. I like the look of those jeans, they look comfortable.
Woo Hoo !! I love everything about this. The color, the sleeves…this is Beautiful ! Color makes me happy.
Love the color!
I so loved the live demo on Instagram…your eyes are beautiful and you look great in the bright pink. Have a great rest of your day.
Loved the blouse!!!! It looks great on you.
I love everything about this outfit. Bummed that the blouse is sold out though.
Love the pink if I wear pink it has this color.
Cute outfit.
Such a pretty blouse! You look great in bright colors!!
Tania, would love a post about what clothes you should have in your closet for different occasions, i.e., 5 work outfits, 3 casual outfits, 1 special occasion outfit, etc. 🙂
The pink on you is beautiful! I like your bracelet on your left wrist. Could you tell me where you got it? Love reading your blog each day. Thank you!!
I’m so sad it’s sold out 🙁
It looks fabulous on you!
Beautiful blouse!
You look amazing Tanya. Pink is definitely your color. I love the outfit, it would be something I would like in my closet.
Gorgeous! I love all of your outfits, but the ones with color are my favorites! The pink looks stunning on you….and I love the casual look of jeans with it, too!
Pink is your color, gurl!! And love that you’re wearing the butterfly necklace that reminds you of your grandma. Such a happy detail! Still trying to find some of these wider leg jeans that fit me. The ones that you link to a previous post are sold out in my size.
The fuchsia color looks great on you. Not sure i am ever going to embrace the loose jeans look. Maybe in a longer, straight leg?
I need something hot pink! Am loving it since you posted hot pink suede pumps with black awhile back!
Beautiful blouse! One of my favorite colors!
Love that color on you. I have such a hard time with belts.
Love that beautiful color! I need to find a nice belt that fits as nice as yours!
Beautiful colour on you Tania pink to make the boys wink 😉 😂
Love this pink blouse! I also ordered the pretty blue sweater you modeled a few days ago. Love it!
Love everything about this outfit. So sorry the blouse isn’t available in my size. ☹️ Love all your tips too Tania
Love the colour and style!
Love this outfit! A while back you asked if we liked the lessons or just more personal stuff. I never answered that because I wasn’t sure. But I definitely love the personal stuff better. Even with the personal stuff, you throw in learnings like today…I order a size up with high rise jeans because I carry stuff in my middle. I ordered those jeans before and returned as I couldn’t get done up. I was kinda beating myself up. I will order again in a bigger size. ANYWAYS..back to your personal stories. I think they make you stand out from the crowd. I love how you look at things and are envious you live so close to one set of grandkids. You are so funny! Thanks for starting my day!
A pop of pink is perfect! Lol…
I love this outfit! You look gorgeous!
I just ordered the top and a belt. I love the look, that is definitely your color! Thanks for all the tips. I’m enjoying your style advice as well as your stories. Thank you.
Love the blouse style and color! I like that style of jeans also. Since things seem to sell out quickly that you feature, maybe you could do a post occasionally featuring items you have just ordered. That way they haven’t sold out yet and it would be with the understanding that the items will be featured in an upcoming post about how to style them. Just a thought. 🙂
That beautiful pink blouse looks fabulous on you and the jeans are really cute too.
This color looks really good on you. It is one of my favorites. I wanted to order it, but I would have to have a medium and that was not available. Keep posting the bright colors.
Love that color on you & the pleated sleeves with the v- neck are very flattering.
You look so pretty in that pink color. It is one of my good colors, too. A wonderful day with tthe grands. I miss those times now tthat mine are mostly grown up.
Yes those jeans look really nice in you! Thanks for keeping us informed on all the new styles!
I love the way those jeans look. I have been trying the looser jeans and the wide leg. The skinny jeans have been moving to the back of the closet. Ready for a change I guess! Love the pink on you!
Love the pop of color with the bishop sleeves and v neck. Good color for you!
What size are you wearing in this blouse?
I’m wearing a medium in the blouse.
That pink makes you glow! 🙂
Love the blouse and the whole outfit. The jeans look so comfy.
