Before we talk about big cuff jeans, I need some help. Y’all, I’m at a crossroads, and I could use some guidance from all of you. A year ago, I started putting a consistent effort into my YouTube channel, and I’ve been publishing a video there every Thursday. The problem is that my channel isn’t growing, at least not at the rate I want it to. YouTube is a horse of a different color, and there are so many choices for people to watch and see, and I’m floundering. I need to pivot, and this is where you come in.

I talked to an advisor, and she said I need to decide what I want to be known for. Once I have that firmly in my mind, I need to create content around that area. That sounds easy enough until you start thinking about your life, and then I get overwhelmed. I think I’m too close to the subject and can’t be objective.

  • Am I known for the styles I create?
  • A friendly southern attitude?
  • Self-deprecating humor?
  • Hair and Beauty?
  • Style Tips?

In short, why do you come back to the blog every day? Some of you say that you found me because a friend told you about my blog. So, how would you describe me to a friend?

If you don’t follow me on YouTube, I would certainly appreciate a follow! I have 8,000 subscribers, and my goal is to reach 10,000 by the end of September. Watch a couple of videos, and send me your feedback. Don’t worry about hurting my feelings, I know it isn’t good, but I want to improve. Constructive criticism is a good thing. You can email me at tania@50isnotold.com with your observations.

Now that I’ve shared my shortcomings on YouTube, let’s talk about today’s big cuff jeans outfit. Lol! Last week I styled Chinos and a Striped Shirt for Summer. I spoke about the versatility of both of those items, and today I’m styling the  French Blue Striped Poplin Shirt differently. I love versatile clothing since that is how you get your money’s worth from them. This striped shirt is lightweight but not see-through, and I love rolling up the sleeves for summer. The striped shirt is 100% cotton and seems to run TTS. I’m wearing a large and I like the fit. Someone asked if it would need to be ironed, and the short answer is yes. I got by with steaming the shirt, but if you want a crisp look, you need to iron it.

Here is a way to transform the shirt for later this fall. One of the reasons that I love a button-down is because of the collar. The collar looks great when worn with blazers, jackets, and sweaters, plus it still has the V-Neck that I prefer. This Long Sleeve V-Neck Classic Sweater is one that I’ll wear a lot this fall. It seems to be of good quality, and I like the way it looks and fits. I haven’t washed it yet, so I don’t know if it will pill, but it has great ratings and a crazy number of orders, so it must do alright. It comes in a plethora of colors, and I think I’m going to order the Dark Chesnut Brown and Green version for fall.

Here is the look from the side where you can see the length of the shirt and sweater, plus this is a great view of the big cuff jeans. I like the shirt’s tail showing in the front and back, but you can tuck it in if that bothers you. I’m wearing a medium sweater, which is the correct size.

You know how I feel about accessories! They make or break an outfit, and I’ve dropped the ball on accessories a time or two. But today, the balls are all still in the air, and I love all of these accessories. Here is what I’m wearing:

Star Drop Earrings // 18Kt. Gold Vermeil Necklace // Reversible Abalone Pendant Necklace // Similar Dumpling Bag //

I’m betting that these big cuff jeans are making some of you shake your heads in protest. I’ve loved this look for years, and I’m glad to see it trending over the small cuff we all wore with skinny jeans. I’m wearing the Slouch Big Cuff Jeans with a pair of Western Boots, another huge trend for fall, This look is casual and relaxed, but you can dress these jeans up by wearing them with a heel. I’ll style them that way the next time. I’m wearing a size 8/29, but I ordered a 6/28 to see if they fit better. The boots run TTS.

    I first saw you on Pinterest many years ago before I knew anything about blogging. I used to think, who is this woman? I then discovered your blog. You are by far my favorite blogger! Love your personality. You are so much fun and don’t take yourself so seriously. Most of all, I LOVE your style!! I can’t tell me how many things I have bought after seeing them on you which is a little dangerous! Oftentimes, the clothes look better on you than the model.

    1. Susan, I think you are now my favorite reader. 🤣🤣🤣

  3. I go to your blog all the time to see what you are wearing, simply to know how I should dress, as I am 55. By looking at all the pictures, I know what to do. I have learned how to tuck, or not tuck, all about cuffs on jeans, and how to look crisp and stylish. I love your blog. I would not go to YouTube, as I like to scroll and look at the photos.
