I want to thank all of you who left a comment or private messaged me about the name of my blog. I appreciate all of the input, but I am still in limbo about a decision. There isn’t a rush or a deadline, so I am not going to stress about it for now. I did enjoy hearing your thoughts, and also how you came to find me in your searches. And, some of you mentioned that you have been in marketing, so I know that you understand about the word “old” and “50” as being words that are searched a lot.
My thoughts for changing the name doesn’t even have to do with my age. I know several blogs with the number 40 in them, and the bloggers are older than me. Most of them don’t publicly tell their age as I do, so most people have no idea how old they are. I would venture to guess that most of you are in your 50s or older who are reading my blog. I did see a few comments yesterday that they were in their 40s, but I bet 50 is soon on the horizon. Look at today’s outfit. Now, my question to you is this, do you have to be 50 and over to wear this? Next question, if you were 35, would you follow a blog with the word “50” in it? My point is this; by keeping the 50 in the title, I am limiting the age group that will come to my blog without even giving the outfit a chance. It looks like I am back to doing a coin toss unless one of you who know more about marketing, branding, and SEO than I do can point me in the right direction.
The other day, someone mentioned that they loved the fact that I mixed high-end products with cheaper, more affordable items. That is one of my favorite things to do when it comes to fashion. I will pay more for some items that I know that I will get lots of wear from, and things that I feel will be trendy or that I know will be easily replaced will be something that I look for affordable choices. Today’s blog post has a mixture of both items. The beautiful blue cardigan that I have on today is lightweight and perfect for this spring. I love the baby blue color, and I love the relaxed fit of the cardigan. I am wearing a medium, and you can see that it is plenty roomy on me. This cardigan is a fine gauge knit with a ribbed hem and cuffs. It is rayon and polyester, and it is machine washable. The cardigan comes in a lot of other colors, including a bright pink that I think I am also going to order. Since the cardigan is less than 10.00, I believe that I’ll also order the yellow and pale pink ones too. LOL! HERE is the link to the sweater.
The Essie tank top from Lilly Pulitzer is drop-dead gorgeous! For a color-loving girl, this tank top is da bomb! Here is the funny thing, I’ve never been a huge fan of Lilly Pulitzer because I felt like a lot of the clothing looks the same. This is probably my first Lilly top, and I am trying hard not to be hooked. But, honestly, I love everything about this top, and I know that it is not going to be my last purchase.
The top is a size medium, and since this was my first time ordering with them, I was scared that it would be too small. Instead, it fits like someone came to the house and measured me while I was asleep. I love all of the colors, and I can’t wait to wear this with white crops or shorts this summer. I am getting excited just thinking about it. Lol! HERE is the link to this top, and I’ll link a few more that I am eyeing, and some of them might already be at my house. LOL!
I chose to wear these espadrille wedge shoes today because it was calling for rain, and I didn’t want my jeans dragging the ground. These are a pair of wedges that I bought the other day from Target, and I like how they fit. Also, I like the two-tone color of these shoes that is blush pink and white, even though I was skeptical when I ordered them. I am wearing my usual size 9 in these shoes, and I think that they fit me great. These are on sale right now, so hurry and get your order placed. HERE is the link. Here are a few other shoes that you will like that don’t have so high of a heel.
Before I forget to mention, the hoop earrings that I am wearing are also from Lilly Pulitzer. They are the Zanzibar hoop earrings, and they have just a tiny bit of bling on them. HERE is the link to those.
The jeans that I am wearing are by JAG jeans, and they are the bootcut Eloise jeans. I wore those in this post (here), but I am afraid that the Eloise is sold out of regular sizes, but you can still grab it in Petite and Plus. However, bootcut jeans are very popular right now, so you have plenty of others to choose from. I like how they balance out your body shape, and I have become a huge fan of this style lately. I still love my skinny jeans, but these are trying hard to win my heart. Lol!
I saw that several of you were interested in Rodan + Fields enough to check out the enrollment kits. They range from 45.00 up to 995.00. Which, when you think of the amount of investment that you need to start your own business is incredibly small. This month you can join me at a discounted price. R+F is giving CashBack when you join with a business kit, and I am matching that offer. So you get DOUBLE the CASHBACK!!! Some of you may think to yourself, “but, I don’t have a blog.” So, I am going to share a small video with you of a lot of people that I know who are all consultants with Rodan + Fields. Click HERE to see consultants from all ranges in age tell you WHY they joined R+F. Then, if you are interested, let me know, and we can schedule a call or ZOOM meeting.
Share The Love!

You look lovely in your Lilly P!! A good southern gal can never have enough of the bright, splashy prints! Actually you only need a few things- because they are timeless- and the prints and styles don’t change much from year to year…also,Lilly Pulitzer has an “after party” sale every year in January and July- the items are usually 1/3 the price of retail. So we keep a list of sizes and styles and try to see if we can get them at the sale!!
Love this look on you…awesome colors. I’m with you, the top will look great with white.
I’m sure you’ll come up with a great new name for the blog. I like the name now, but it is your blog and I’ll still read no matter what it’s called because I like your style.
The colors on you make you GLOW today. I particularly like you include lower end clothes from stores we can either go in (someday) try on or order and return locally. Mixing with the higher end is something for everyone’s taste, size and fit. As for the name I never thought about the age limiting. I do like Stylishatanyage as you may be right younger women may not give you a chance. Whatever you decide will be successful. I subscribe and have never missed a post since day 1!
I have followed your blog from early on and will continue to no matter what you call it. A blogger I’ve been following for years is about to lose me because of her price points. And she has so many (arbitrary) rules that I no longer enjoy reading it. Yours is a breath of fresh air because you keep it real.
Tania, I’ve followed you for several years and have enjoyed it all! My opinion is you are a “Summer”, in skin, hair, eye color. Remember when everyone in the 80’s had their “colors” done? I am a “Winter”. Anyway, because I consider you a Summer, I think you absolutely come alive in the colors you’re styling today!! You just seem to pop off the page in these colors!! Fabulous look for you, I love it!
I am 65 and have followed your blog for about 3 years. I have gone back and read old posts and thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe your blog appeals to all ages. One reason is your personality shines through the written words! I get my Rodan and Fields from you also. I had used before, but decided to try it again after reading your blog. Love this outfit today!!
Sue, I really do believe that you can be and act old when you are in your 30s. So, acting old is not about age, it is a mindset. I am keeping my mindset young!
Love the top with the cardigan – it helps non – Palm Beach people wear Lily and not look ridiculous, it really is resort wear and not many can carry it off away from the beach! I did stop following a blog that used to incorporate affordable clothing – it was all TJ MAXX, Macy’s, Steinmart and other mid level price points and then she only profiled high priced sponsored clothing and accessories . It was not inspiring – it was depressing.
Lily Pulitzer is my favorite for years. You will be obsessed. What I want to know is how you sneaked and got your hair done! LOL! It looks really good!
I am 35 and have followed your blog for several years. I love the content that you share, and I love the stories you tell. Best wishes as you decide about the name of your blog ☺️
Oh Tania I love that top! I may have to have that cardigan too. LOL! You look great.
I loved the print so much!

I’ve seen the sales before, but since I wasn’t used to the sizing, I never purchased anything.
I love your outfit! And your hair! Wow. You look great.
Thanks! I didn’t even try to “style” my hair today. This is what it looked like after I got finished blowing it dry.
Love this look on you…awesome colors. I’m with you, the top will look great with white.
I’m sure you’ll come up with a great new name for the blog. I like the name now, but it is your blog and I’ll still read no matter what it’s called because I like your style.
Have an amazing day
Thanks, Sherli. I don’t know that I will change it, but I am not opposed to the idea.

I love this look also. I have some new things that I tried with my hair. I am glad that you liked it and noticed.

I love wearing blue, it pops with my eyes. And, my faux tan makes me feel and look more alive too.
