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 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!!!

Love your bright outfit today. I’m with Ashleigh…let the solar eclipse party begin?? As a retired teacher, I’m excited to see the eclipse. Don’t forget the MOON PIES?
You look so cute in both outfits. So different. Love the top! I want one.
Very excited at our house! We are riding the motorcycle to Tennessee Georgia line and watching the total eclilpse. So much fun! Just hope no rain. I love your bright colors. You always look great
Love this outfit and the necklace with it! Sooooo cute! You are so helpful in inspiring trying different looks from the closet esp with old and new!
I read your column daily!
That necklace is perfect with that shirt!
Thank you for sharing how to change up an outfit! It’s amazing how different this blouse looks just by a few simple changes. I’m new to seeing your posts and really enjoy your sense of fashion. So much so that I’ve pinned many of your pictures to my new stitch fix board!
When you said that about not wearing the same thing twice, it reminded me of a patient that I had when I was working….She was a teacher and one year made sure she never wore the same outfit twice. She would even write it down so she’d have a record of it!! Funny, huh??
Hope your call went well last night…
XOXO

Oh my I am a first grade teacher and I do the same thing. I write it down. My husband thinks I’m crazy.
Your skin is really looking good in these pics, Tania! You should’ve put the pic from last year up for a side by side comparison, because you’re definitely looking younger! 🙂
Beth, that is the nicest thing anyone has said to me today!!! ?
I feel the same way about the eclipse. LOL. I don’t get all the hype. We live in an area of prime viewing for it. Ours schools are closing as well as some businesses due to the influx of traffic and eclipse viewers from all over the country. We have been urged to stock up on food and gasoline due to the increased number of people in our area this weekend.
Shannon, I have heard that the traffic will be crazy in a lot of areas. My mom and dad live on top of a mountain so I am hoping that we will have an easy time viewing everything. I hope that the weather cooperates.
