Starting A Blog Is Easy
Are you thinking about starting a blog? Have you ever wondered what you would even need to do to get started. Take it from me, it is not that hard. I am not particularly computer friendly, so if I can do it, so can you. 
Here is what I did, not that it is necessarily the best way. I chose a name; that may sound easy, but it’s not. I used Go Daddy to buy my domain, which was fairly cheap. However, I had to try a few thousand names before I finally decided on one. I am already questioning my choice. What happens when I turn sixty? I guess then fifty will REALLY not be old. Lol!!! I decided to use WordPress for my blog, but there a lot of bloggers who use blogspot. Then a host for you blog is needed. I have no idea what any of that means, I just know my sister had a friend that does hosting, so she was my choice. After all that you would think it could only get easier. You would be oh so wrong!!! Now comes the fun of setting up the actual blog. Pick a theme, add plugins and widgets. All I wanted to do was take a few pictures and post them.
So, here is my picture. Haha I saw a picture of an outfit, very similar to this, on Pinterest. I decided to shop my closet and see if I could recreate it. This longer gray cardigan is from Old Navy. Here is a similar. I bought it sometime last year. I was in a gray phase for a couple of months. The red top is just a long sleeve v-neck tee shirt from Cato’s. The real star of this outfit is the scarf. I bought this one at Target. Here is a nice one. Target has the best selection for scarf’s.
I carried my brown Dooney & Bourke bag and put on my OTK boots from Tommy Hilfiger. I liked the brown bag and boots since it went with the brown in the scarf.
Notice how the red top bring out the thin red stripe in the scarf. And I also wore red lip stain, big shock I know. Lol
I decided to keep my jewelry simple. So, I wore some silver earrings and left off a necklace . I wanted the scarf to be the center of attention. 
The only advice I can give any of you want-to-be bloggers is: BE YOURSELF!!! Find your own voice, and let that come across to your readers. They will either like you or not, but either way it will be you, not someone else.
The winner of my 4 month giveaway of a pink quartz necklace from BaubleBar is: Joanne!!! You will be receiving an email from me shortly. Congratulations!
This is also something I WANT and NEED: I have added a subscription button to the blog, right under the recent posts tab. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to sign up. You will then be notified by email when a new post is made.

Love this outfit! You have great style.
Great tips on starting a blog! I’m thinking of it but did not have a clue. Been trying to shop my closet since I need to get a grip on spending-that’s why I love your posts. I actually own similar if not the same items right down to the DB bag. Thanks for the inspiration and giggles for the day!
I am so glad you started this blog! Your down to earth personality really comes through and your style is so doable. There are so many people re-pinning my pins of your style photos from my “Fashion Over Forty” board that I honestly can’t keep count! That’s a HUGE compliment to you Tania – keep it coming!!! Oh, and a big shout out to Joanne for the win! Congratulations Joanne!!!! Whoop Whoop!!!!
