BLACK & WHITE WITH A TOUCH OF YELLOW

I am so thankful to all of you for the many prayers and messages that you sent me the past couple of days. I feel kind of silly now, it was only a stiff neck and a sore throat. There are lots of people who are in way worse condition on a daily basis, so forgive me for whining just a little. I have on my big gurl panties now, so let’s get this party started. Lol!
I missed a couple days of work, so I played catch-up all day on Friday. I think everyone there was saying prayers for me also, because Friday was payday. Guess who does the payroll? Hahaha Yep, I felt those get well quickly vibes coming my way all day Thursday. They must have worked, because I woke up on Friday and felt much, much better. I even forgot that my neck was sore till Joe asked me something, and I started shaking my head no. That was a mistake!!! Lol!My dress is really, really old. I have no idea even where I bought it, and I don’t ever remember wearing it before. Did someone leave a dress at my house? Too bad, it is mine now. I love the small check print, and who doesn’t love black and white? CLASSIC! This dress is a tank style, so I added a little warmth with my bright yellow cardigan.

Yellow Cardigan: Mustard | Similar | Similar Both of my necklaces are new. The short one is called the Isabelle, and the long one is the Blanche. The Isabelle has several charms that hang from a vintage key, and also a piece of lace tied to the chain. The Blanche has a little metal heart attached to the pendant that says Bless Your Heart. Did you read my post about what us southern girls mean by “Bless Your Heart?” Here is a better look at the pendant. It is hard to take a picture without the camera glare. Sorry! I have forgotten to tell everyone HOW to order Plunder from me, and several of you have messaged that you purchased something, but didn’t think I got the credit. If you have ordered anything this month, send me a quick message to let me know. fiftyisnotold@gmail.com My bracelet is also new, it is called the Brenda. The saying is, “With brave wings she flies.” If you wish to purchase anything from Plunder, I would appreciate it if you went to my website. You have to type in http://www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens or you can enter my stylist number in the “box” when you go to checkout. #241007 Also, there will be a spot where you can pick a party, please pick Tania’s Party. I am blown at how nice you gurls are. You could buy Plunder from another stylist, but you choose to buy from me. That is unbelievable!!! I have decided to not be like the cell phone companies, they only give rewards to “new” customers. I think the customers who have been loyal and stick with you also need rewarding. So, I am going to be giving away a necklace this month to two of my customers. I just want to randomly say thank you.I had to “punch” it up just a little with this hot pink tote by Vera Bradley. This tote is going to be perfect in October. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I will carry this most of the month. I usually put pink in my hair, (see here) but I don’t know if I am going to do that this year. What do you gurls think?

This is a super easy way to transition a summer outfit into fall. If the weather was a little cooler, (today it was in the high 80’s) I would have put on closed-toed shoes or booties, but instead I liked the laid back look of the sandals. I don’t feel like wearing high heels EVERY day, so this was a nice change.

It looks more business like, or it would have had I put on a pair of dressier shoes. Little details like that are how you can take a work outfit, and make it a casual outfit.

Now, for the WINNERS of the $25.00 Amazon gift certificates. Tracey Baxter, you are the lucky commenter, and Janet Merkel you are the lucky email subscriber. You ladies will be getting an email from me later on today.

I want to thank EVERYONE for being a big part of my blog. It would not happen if it wasn’t for you gurls!!! I hope that one day I will meet some of you, that would be fantastic. I know I will be going to a vintage fashion show in Marietta GA in October, maybe some of you will be able to come and visit. ?
