WEAR YOUR CLOTHING IN MULTIPLE WAYS TO CREATE A LARGER WARDROBE

The holidays can be exhausting! There are so many things to get accomplished like decorating, shopping, wrapping gifts, baking, and preparing meals, etc. Then, afterward, we still have to clean up all of the mess left behind. I tried to scale back on things this year, but I’m still exhausted and trying to recover from all of the “FUN!”

Another thing that I’m trying to do is go back on my diet. When Thanksgiving rolled around, I decided to put my diet on hold and to enjoy all of the foods of the holidays. Whew! That included a lot of candy, cakes, carb-loaded breakfasts, and lots of butter, bread, and potatoes. It also included finding 5 pounds of weight that I had worked hard to lose, so I’m anxious to get back on track.

If you haven’t read about the diet program that I’m following, you can read about it in this post. Also, for those who are wanting to join me in the next round which starts on Jan. 3rd, the sign-up for the program starts December 30th. I’ll try to do a reminder each day until the sign-up period is over so that it gives everyone plenty of notice. This is the first time that they are going to be asking who referred you to the program, so please put Tania Stephens and not 50 Is Not Old in that area.

I know a lot of you have been busy over the past week or so, and you might have missed out on some of my previous posts. If you have time, glance back over those, including the one where I wore an animal print poncho. In that post, I mentioned that I was going to be styling one pair of pants in multiple ways, and today is a continuation of that post.

This faux-leather quilted puffer jacket is GORGEOUS!!!! The sheen is so pretty, and it feels just like leather. Faux-leather has really gotten better over the years and looks so real. This jacket is a dressy alternative to the moto jacket/puffer jacket/bomber jacket. This jacket looks sharp, modern, and slightly edgy all while looking dressy at the same time. I am wearing a size 1, and the jacket fits fabulously.

I must have been trying to copy a Johnny Cash look today since I’m dressed all in black. An all-black look is chic and sophisticated looking, but black can also be harsh. I tried to brighten the look by adding some red tassel earrings, but I honestly am not happy with the look. I would have preferred to have added my silver large hoop earrings instead. The black turtleneck is a size 1, and it fits me great.

Since I talked about black being harsh, here is a way to fix that issue. I added this beautiful Peacock-Print Satin blouse to the black pants and jacket, and it brightened up the look a ton! The vivid colors of the blouse are beautiful, and the attached tie can be worn in several different ways.

Just look at the sleeves on this blouse! They billow and drape so beautifully, and they add a huge amount of drama to this outfit. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this blouse, and the fact that it is on sale for $39.00 is incredible! If you like the blouse, then grab it before your size sells out.

Here is a photo showing you the length of the blouse. It is a nice length that can be worn long or tucked. You can try both ways, and see which look you prefer.

These black foiled snake-print jeggings are gorgeous and make quite a statement! I love items that can be dressed up or down, and these pants are a prime example. I can see wearing these jeggings with a denim jacket and ankle boots for a casual look. The jeggings would also look amazing for a New Year’s Eve outfit, and I might have an example of that in a later post. I’m wearing a size .5 and they fit tight, but I wouldn’t want them any bigger.

I love Lapis, the dark blue and gold veins really appeal to me. These Abbie drop earrings c/o of Kendra Scott go great with this Peacock-Print blouse, and you’ll see me wearing them more in the future. The earrings also come in a couple of other colors, so check those out also.

If you like posts like this that show more than one way to wear your clothing, be sure to let me know. Also, which one of these outfits can you see yourself wearing? I hope you liked today’s post. If so, PLEASE remember to pin my post on Pinterest.
