A FLATTERING STYLE TOP

Have any of you ever heard about the Shop With A Cop program? It is a program where police officers interact with children in need during the Christmas season. This is designed to create positive experiences for the children with the police officers. This can help prevent them possibly choosing crime later in life. The officers will dress in full uniform and take the children on a shopping adventure.The children are given an amount of money they can spend and they can buy for their family as well as themselves. As you can imagine, this requires a large amount of money to be able to fund the program. Our local sheriff’s office was having a fundraising drive to help gather the funds together. I think there were approximately 50 children that were going to benefit from the program this year. The Sheriff came to our work selling tickets on several gift baskets and also a 50″ Sanyo television. I bought $50.00 in tickets mainly to just support the program. WELL, I got a message from one of the deputies that I actually won……..the television!!! See what can happen when you do a good deed. I really like this navy tie-front long sleeve sweater by Halogen. I think the tie-front style is so flattering. This is lightweight fine gauge sweater so it is not bulky nor will it add “pounds” to your overall look. The neckline is wide and is made to hug your shoulders. This style neckline is the boatneck or bateau neckline. This was one of the items I kept in this month’s Trunk Club shipment. I plan on doing a post on my recent shipment (if the pictures turned out alright) where I tried on all the clothing. The Brenna and Jamie necklace both really “pop” against the navy backdrop. The Brenna is the shorter necklace that is stamped BLESSED. The Jamie necklace is the multi=strand necklace on the gray leather cord. It is comprised of different size silver beads. I have on the matching bracelet to the Brenna, called the Lydia. The navy and rhinestone magnetic bracelet is the Ritta. I have worn this way more than I ever thought I would. I think it matches jeans, or anything blue, perfectly, To place an order with Plunder you should go to www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens and be sure to pick a party with my name on it. Pick the party with the highest number since that means it is the most current one. Plunder makes TERRIFIC Christmas gifts since it is so affordable and really great quality.I haven’t carried my Kate Spade purse in a long time. I have been carrying a more neutral purse lately but I thought I would dust this one off for today. I really, really like this handbag. It has several compartments and I like being able to keep my items separated. This color blue is a cross between a bright blue and a navy. I am not really sure what color you would even call this. I bought this with a gift certificate that I won to Nordstrom.

I hate back angles. Lol! A side view is the best that I can do. Lol! I wanted to show you how the hemline of the top was made. The pants I have on are from Talbots, or maybe it was Ann Taylor, I can’t remember for sure. Either way, I like the jeans. Joe liked them too but he was confused how I could wear them. He told me it was after Labor Day. I had to “school” him on fashion and tell him that he was behind the times. Lol! I think he took offense because he then made a comment about me white feel sticking out. Hahaha!

There is nothing prettier than confidence. The way you hold your person shows how confident you are. You can look like total crap but if you throw your shoulders back and beam from the inside you will look like a million dollars. This is so true with fashion, especially if you are trying a new look. You need to “own” it!!! Why do we quit taking care of ourselves as we age? When did we quit caring what we looked like? That is just crazy!!! I am worth it! I am not going to fade into the background! I am not going to look or act old!!!

That attitude will work wonders for your confidence. Clothing can affect your mood. However, your face is the one thing that you can not camouflage. It is on display 365 days of the year. Every line, wrinkle, and age spot screams that you are aging. I can help you turn back the hands of time. I can help you get your swagger back. That was why I started the blog in the first place!!! AND, I can help you create an income all at the same time! I wrote about my specials that I have running this month here. Let’s talk. No strings attached. Just email me that you would at least like to hear more. fiftyisnotold@gmail.com
