BIG CUFF JEANS ARE IN STYLE AND LOOK ULTRA CHIC
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 hope you will take the time to help me with my YouTube woes. Please leave a comment about my blog, and I will translate that into the direction I need to go on my YouTube Channel. Thanks so much for your help; I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Below is a YouTube Video I did recently, and you can see it has nothing to do with fashion or beauty…see why I’m floundering.

I love the things you show us and the different ways they can be worn. But I do like the moderate priced items. I know your fans are of different economic levels so it’s good you cover all levels. Thank you for being sensitive to all our different needs. 💕
For me, it’s the styles you create. I love your style and think we have similar taste. Unfortunately, you make me want to spend too much money on clothes. Lol! I adore your southern charm also. I already subscribe to your YouTube channel. I don’t go on YouTube often but will watch some of your videos.
I think of you for style and beauty tips to help/keep us stay current. A (not-so-fashionable) co-worker once told me I dress like a teenager and it freaked me out. Now that I’ve been reading your articles and style tips I realize I’m in style and not dressing too young.
Peggy, just because you are dressing trendy does not mean you’re dressing like a youngster. Staying relevant and modern is great, and shouldn’t have anything to do with age.
I think it’s your style tips and southern charm which I think could be added to any of the other defining statements.
I like your down to earth style.
I watch You Tube more in the winter. Put on my headset and watch on my laptop while my husband has his shows on the tv. Spring/Summer and Fall more interested in Blogs I can view
at a glance.
I have always had an issue with fashion. I’ve always thought certain styles were either too young or too old for my age (whatever my age happened to be). But when I was on Pinterest, I would see this beautiful woman who always looked so put together and would wear outfits I could actually see myself wearing. That’s how I found you! I love seeing the outfit styles you come up with from local retailers. (I also like easy to buy/return stores.) I don’t mind seeing a home decor or a makeup blurb now and again but personally, I follow you for your fashion sense. I feel that is where you can have the most impact. What we wear out in the world and how our outfits make us feel has an enormous impact on our confidence and mood. You have a knack for staying current with trends, showing various ways to style items, and proving that amazing, affordable pieces can be purchased from Walmart and Nordstrom’s and multiple stores in between! Stay true to your roots and keep the fashion blogs fresh! It’s exciting!
I have followed your blog for years because you keep it fresh and exciting! I am much older than you, but I still enjoy seeing you style the latest fashions. I appreciate your humor, your stories about your family, and the scriptures. I do miss more colorful fashion. I’m not fond of any YouTube videos I’ve seen by others because they talk too much and I just want to see them modeling the fashions. I will check out yours and Good Luck!
Hi Tania! I didn’t even realize you had a YouTube site until you mentioned it. I have been a follower of your for about 6 years now. After viewing your YouTube sight my suggestion would be to find a different room to film in. Everything thing is so white and sterile looking which makes it appear uninviting. It lack warmth and interest. I also would not sit down when filming because it lacks energy and is less engaging. When you did the post on providing forgotten items for house guest I think it would be helpful and more interesting to have your basket or whatever it is you put in your guests room, present and with those items in it. I truly love your blog and will try and remember to check out your posts on YouTube.
Best of luck with building your followers. Hope you truly are not offended and truly wanted honest feedback because I really enjoy your regular blog.
Your stories you tell of your everyday life, trial and errors, is what makes you relatable. Stick with the beauty, fashion, and home decor, that all of us gurls can relate too. Stay true and the followers will come..
As far as YouTube goes, for me most of the videos posted by influencers are way too long. I don’t have 20-30 minutes to watch YouTube videos. My recommendation is short and to the point … like 10 minutes top
You look great! What are you doing to lose weight? I love the sweater, striped shirt and cuffed jeans and boots. The whole outfit!!
