COLD SHOULDERS AND FRAYED HEMS

Right before I started on today’s blog post I was sending out several emails. That got me to thinking about technology and how things have changed so drastically in just the past 30 years. I know that 30 years is a long time but it is amazing the leaps and bounds that have been made. I remember when my workplace first started using the computer and one of my bosses bought a computer for his house. That was unheard of! We couldn’t think of a single thing he could do with a computer at his house.  I also remember the first VCR that I ever saw. It took me a long time to grasp the idea that we could watch one show and it would record another show. The part where you didn’t have to even be home to record the show was just mind blowing!!! Do any of you remember the first “portable” cellular phone you had? Those things were HUGE! I remember getting one for my car and I swear is looked like you were carrying a suitcase around. I thought I was so cool! Lol!!!Now, here I sit typing on a laptop using wifi for the internet, sending out emails through the air, and talking on a smartphone that takes pictures, surfs the internet, and also lets you talk to someone. Simply AMAZING! You are going to be so mad at me because I bet I won’t be able to find this shirt anywhere for you. I bought this at a local boutique and she only buys 3 or 4 of each item and never gets that item back in once it is sold. I loved the playful colors on the classic leopard print. This makes this top work so much better for spring and summer. Since it has long sleeves I guess it would mostly be for spring. The day I wore this it was truly a “cold shoulder” look. The weather had dipped back down in the 50’s and Joe thought it was hilarious that I would be cold for fashion. Silly man, of course, I would! Hahaha!

This pair of earrings were one of the first pieces of jewelry that I got from the new spring and summer Plunder line. They are called the Sadie. This color reminds me of colonial houses. I call it Wedgewood blue but Plunder doesn’t call it anything. I thought it would be really cute to take these to someone and let them put my initials on them in vinyl. These are very lightweight even though I think they are made out of metal. With a price tag of 8.00, you can afford to buy one for all the ladies in your network. How cute is this leatherette necklace? I can’t even remember where I picked this up at but the color was perfect for this top. I think this is the first time I have ever worn the necklace but it probably won’t be the last. The small bracelet on the right is called the Broedrick and it is an opaque pink color. I wear this all the time because I like the color and also because it is so easy to get on and off because of the magnetic closure. The larger bracelet has been retired however I will be giving the bracelet and the matching necklace and earrings away on Friday’s post. Be sure to check back to see how to enter to win. I have opened a new party and that URL is plunderdesign.com/party/tania8 so if you click on a link and it does not tell you that you are shopping in this party, please let me know. Here is a closeup picture of my dark teal Dooney & Bourke tote. I always have so much stuff in my purse that I keep my purse unzipped to accommodate my things. I knew I loved this purse but I have even surprised myself at how often I carry this purse. I think the leather trim really pops against the blue color.

What do you think about these jeans? The fringed hem is a big trend this year. I am still on the fence with this look. I have worn these jeans with a huge cuff and the fringe pointing up and that was really cute. I am sure you will see this look later this year on the blog. I thought I would kill two birds with one stone (what a horrible saying) by getting jeans that are distressed and fringed both. Look at me working the trends. Lol!!!

I told you on yesterday’s post that the R+F websites had been down and are now up and running. However, the orders from last month are not showing up for me to see. I have no way of knowing who ordered the Lash Boost special I was running. If you ordered that from me please let me know so that I can get your refund check in the mail to you.

I know you might be getting tired of seeing me tell you about the incentive that R+F is offering this month. Actually, there are two incentives, one is they are offering 40 Free Mini Facials to anyone who signs up with a business kit by Friday. I want to make sure that you don’t miss this date if you are interested at all. That is a 200.00 value and 40 conversation starters. Secondly, everyone who purchases a regimen this month will get a free 3-day sample of the new Hydration Serum. WooHoo!!! Two incentives and I am not the one having to offer them. Lol! Email me if you are interested in learning more at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com. If you want to check out my website go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.biz and hit the Be The CEO of You tab to read more.

I want to thank everyone who has signed up for my emails. I promise you only get one email a day from me and I don’t give out your email addresses, that would just be weird. Lol!  I am only 40 away from that magical 5000 mark, woohoo!  PLEASE take the time to signup!!! Also, if you would like to share my posts on Facebook or Twitter, I would appreciate that. It helps get my blog out to more people, and I am sure you just want to spread the entertaining sayings I have. Lol! The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.
