AN ATTRACTIVE SIGHTSEEING OUTFIT THAT IS COMFORTABLE AND STYLISH
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! It was beautiful here so I did some sightseeing, and the weather was perfect. There were three nights of fireworks since everyone was setting them off at different times. I had a whole houseful of kids, and the squeals and laughter were so nice to hear. It will sure be quiet when everyone leaves.
Today, they are dragging me to a waterpark. I haven’t been in a bathing suit all year long, and we have a pool in the backyard. I’m crossing my fingers that my bathing suit (same swimsuit, but a different print) fits since I bought it in 2019 to wear for a trip that I had planned in 2020. Of course, we all know how those planned out since COVID hit. But today, I’ll be snipping off the tags and playing in the water with the kiddos!
I laughed when I saw today’s sightseeing outfit. Not because I don’t like the outfit, but because I should have worn it for the 4th of July. I didn’t even notice that the colors would have worked great for the 4th.
This top is so pretty in person. The color name threw me since it called it an Orange, but I think it looks more like a red. And, the palm print of the blouse looks white; instead, it is a very light blue color which is gorgeous against the mostly red/orange background. I figured that if I was sightseeing, I wanted to be seen. Lol!
The description of the material also confused me since it says “crinkle gauze.” The top is very lightweight, but I didn’t see any crinkles, and I wouldn’t consider it a gauze material either. I like that the blouse has a spit v-neckline and 3/4 sleeves. That sleeve length is my favorite, and I feel like this length helps to make you look slimmer. Maybe that is my imagination, but that is my observation. I am wearing a size large in the top.
This was the first time that I had tried the Chatham crop pants. I like the Chatham pants, but I wasn’t sure if I would like the cropped length since it was shorter than what I usually wear. What do you all think about this length?
The pants have a flat front because the closure is a side-zip. I do like that feature, but I miss having pockets. Lol! I swear that I judge everything based on whether it has pockets or not. Haha!
I am wearing a size 8 in these crops, which fits me fine. Usually, I wear a size 10 in bottoms, but I have to size down one size in pants in Talbots clothing.
The shoes are buckle sandals that I love and wear often. I like how these fit and that they have a small amount of memory foam in the footbed. But, it is the wooden buckle that I love the most. Small details can make an outfit or a shoe. The shoes run true to size, and they come in several other colors.
I have on a tiny bit of jewelry, but not much. I am wearing my AVI large hoop earrings, a David Yurman cable loop bracelet that I got as a reward gift from Rodan and Fields, and an Apple Watch in rose gold.
If you loved the views from my day of sightseeing, then look up The Breaks Interstate Park. It is close to where I live and the scenery is gorgeous.

Love your outfit. I enjoy reading your blog.
I am petite so I shop a lot at Talbots. Love there clothes.
Cute outfit. I like the length of the capris. Very flattering. I also judge clothing on whether it has a pocket or not. I love pockets!!
Tania, where can I find the long sleeve navy tie-dye sweater/tee shirt that is shown in the email? Thanks
It is in this post. https://50isnotold.com/how-to-look-festive-for-the-4th-of-july/
I’m still getting two emails from you-the old site and the new. I don’t mind at all, but thought you might want to know. Enjoy your emails each day!

Oh my goodness, Tania, I am so excited! I couldn’t believe my eyes this morning when I saw my name as the winner of that gorgeous bag! I so enjoy reading your blog every morning & this is such a nice surprise. Love your outfit today. What a wonderful grand you are; have fun at the water park!
Love the crop pants! They are casual, yet stylish and look great!
I really like this style. I wish it was crinkled tho. I love texture in summer tops. Sort of makes up for that third layer. Love the sandals.
I can’t seem to find the info on the navy/white tie dye top….did I miss it in a previous post?😱
I’ve been looking for it too!
What post did you see the top? I am not sure which one you are talking about.
I finally figured out which top you were talking about. It is in this post. https://50isnotold.com/how-to-look-festive-for-the-4th-of-july/

I really like the outfit and the crop length looks good on you. That park looks awesome and worth the drive to visit.
Do you have a link to the bag. Imma trying but I never win anything. Lol
Tammy, that handbag was on the website last year. It isn’t available any longer.
