THE FRAYED HEM TREND
I had to stay late at work last night to do the “end of the month.” So, I am running late on writing the blog. All that to say that I am going to keep this short and sweet. I may not get to link to my clothing today so I am sorry. Blame it on Joe, he is a slave driver for a boss. Lol!
The other reason I am running behind is that I saw the cutest little blonde headed little girl out playing in her sandbox when I came home. I HAD to walk over and talk to her and she started telling me about her weekend. She went with her parents to Dollywood and she got to ride on the Ferris Wheel. I am terrified of heights and I have passed that gene on to my son, so I asked her if her daddy also rode on the Ferris Wheel. She said yes but he was not very happy about the whole thing. Apparently, one of his friends also went with them and was having a small panic attack and decided to hit the panic button to get off. This is not on of the small Ferris Wheels but on of the huge ones that are enclosed in glass. They got off and in about 5 minutes a storm hit. It started pouring the rain, the wind kicked up really bad and knocked the power off. They were sure glad that their friend pushed the panic button and got them off before all of that set in. Emersyn, however, was not happy at having to run to the truck in the pouring rain and a lightening storm.
A navy t-shirt is something that most of us have in our closets somewhere. If not, then I am glad that you stopped by the blog because you need one. Lol! You can wear this with anything and make it dressy or casual. In other words, it is a very versatile piece of clothing that you will get your money’s worth from. Today I am choosing to wear the shirt in a casual fashion with jeans and a long duster vest. Once again, I chose a t-shirt with a v-neck to help elongate my neck and that makes me “appear” thinner. Haha
I am still on the fence about this vest duster. I have worn it before and I think it is super cute but I feel a little strange wearing it. I think the spaghetti straps is probably the main problem, I don’t like how thin they are. I do like all the colors in this vest and I do like the boho vibe. What do you gurls think???
Do you know what my number one referrer page is? It is Pinterest! I truly appreciate every time you “pin” a picture. Heck, pin ALL the pictures if you want. Lol! 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.

I think the entire outfit is way cute on you. I think I would like the vest to be shorter for me, but it is so cute on you, bc you are taller than myself. I love your jeans too. I don’t mind the straps on the vest, in fact I like them a lot.
Love the duster vest!!!! A way to look hip and boho and still cover a multitude of sins in my case! 🙂
What do I think about the vest? I think this vest is why I always read your blog. Because you look great, and once again, as always, you have absolutely schooled me on how to dress with more personality. I think I dress myself fairly nicely, but I tend to go with “safe” choices. I would heretofore never, ever even consider that vest–it’s kind of an “out there” item. But now that you’ve shown how to wear it, I wish I had that outfit! You absolutely rock it. You are teaching me to be more brave in my clothing/accessory choices, and I really appreciate all the effort you are putting into your blog.
I like the duster a lot Tania! Very cute! And what brand are your jeans??
They are called sneakpeek, Patti.
I like the duster and I think I will go look for one for myself! Then I can wear shorts and the duster will “hide” my varicose veins. 🙂
Like the colors in the vest, but agree with you that straps are too thin, and also think it would be better if it were not as long in the back??
I like the duster, looks cute on you!! The Bo Ho look is my fav look for me, and I am
super excited that my trend of cutting off my jeans for a cuffed frayed look has caught on!!! I’ve been doing it for years because straight leg jeans are much too long for me! Who knew it would catch on LOL!!
I love this vest! You look wonderful in all your clothing pictures. I don’t remember how I found your blog but I’m enjoying it very much. Although 50 really isn’t old, neither is 70 and your clothing and stories are truly “age appropriate”. I think I just may travel some more.
Love the outfit today!! That duster vest is awesome and you look cute as a bug in it.
Glad your family got to the truck safely, that would be scarey.
I love the vest, takes the outfit up a notch and still says summer! I wonder what it would look like with a 3/4 sleeve top or maybe a tank top and Bermuda shorts underneath? I enjoy your blog and style. Thanks for showing us the 50 and even 60 is not old!
