WHY CHOOSE A PATTERNED TOP

So who is ready for the solar eclipse? My daughter is in hyper drive over this, she is a marine biologist so science is her “thing.” She is like, “I have been waiting for this my entire life!!!” I am like, “so, there is an eclipse this week???” She can’t believe that I am not excited about this and I can’t believe that she is making such a big deal over it. Lol!I think I live in my own little world and it takes a lot to get me excited. Ashleigh is planning a whole little eclipse party. She has glasses for everyone and she wants to make everyone eclipse shirts. She wants to do “cosmic” makeup with glitter and sparkles and have galaxy themed food. I think rocket dogs, moon rocks, cosmic burgers, and galaxy popcorn are all on the menu. I may not be that excited for the actual eclipse but I admit I am pretty excited about the party. Lol!!!Some of you have commented on the blog that I never seem to wear the same thing. Lol! The truth is that I wear the same things a lot but I try to change it up so that you or others will notice. Take this tank top that I bought at Maurices years ago, I wore it here in May of last year. The watercolor print is super cute and today I decided to bring out a different set of colors than I did back in May. This is a great way to get more wear out of your clothing. There is still baby blue, vivid pink, yellow, green, purple, and navy that I could choose to highlight. You just need to look at your item and think outside the box. Just because you wore it one way the last time doesn’t mean you always have to wear it that way.

I tried on several different necklaces with this top before I finally decided on the Mitali necklace and the Mandy earrings. Like the watercolor top, this necklace has many different colors and it will match a ton of different tops. I like items like this that are so versatile because you get more bang for your buck. Although with Plunder the jewelry is so reasonable that you can purchase several things for what one necklace costs with other brands. You can’t see it in this picture but the bracelet I have on is the Corey. It is magnetic for easy on and off and has several bands of leather and beads. Go to plunderdesign.com/taniastephens to place an order, just be sure to pick a party with my name in it. It is finally starting to get time where I will start wearing my blue jeans again. It seems like that is all I wore last winter but I never put them on in the summer months. I pulled these out today and thought, “what the heck, I might as well wear them.” This is a pair from Old Navy, the Rockstar. I went ahead and rolled up the cuff just a little bit because I bought them in tall so that I can wear them with my boots that have heels. Rolling up the cuff also seems more summery. I chose to bring out the greens in the top today. I love a 3/4 sleeve cardigan, it is one of my favorite looks. I love a cardigan because it camouflages my problem areas, aka my middle section, and makes me look slimmer.

You know when you put a post on FaceBook you wait to see if you will get any “likes” or “hearts?” That is how I feel about my blog. Leaving a comment and pinning a picture to Pinterest is my equivalent to a “like.” If you share my post on FaceBook that is a “heart.” Show me some love, gurls!!!
