HOW TO WEAR A GRAPHIC TEE AND NOT LOOK LIKE A TEENAGER

Guess what??? The people who had been working on retrieving my lost subscribers were finally able to talk to the people who owned the app with my subscriber’s list. Late Friday night, they successfully reinstated the app, and all of my data and subscribers were once again available to me. I quickly exported that list and have it so that I won’t be put in that situation again.

So, I know that some of you have been getting two emails each morning, but we will fix that. I will be phasing out the app and instead utilizing an email service. The subscribers on the app will be exported to the new service, and you will get a little different look email notification each day. Here is an example of what the email will look like in the future.

Once I have everyone exported, the old email service will be turned off. The email will show that it came from Tania@50isnotold.com. I will probably try to make the new service completely active by Wednesday, so if you don’t get an email on Wednesday, you can search for it using Tania@50isnotold.com or look in your junk or promotions folder.

This outfit is a shop your closet look for me. I’ve shown all of the items on the blog before, except for this graphic t-shirt and my shoes. I love a good graphic t-shirt, and I love adding a blazer to the look for a dressier version. Any way you wear a graphic tee, make sure that it fits you well and isn’t sloppy looking. Don’t be stealing your husband’s t-shirt if it is a mile too big on you unless you can tie it up for a slimmer look.

I added a notch-collar blazer that I’ve had for over a year. The one that I am wearing is from Chico’s, and it is a creamy white color. I also wore one from Gibsonlook on Friday, and I really love that one too. A white jacket looks amazing with a black graphic tee, and it is one of my favorite looks.

Since the Chico’s blazer is no longer online, and the blazer from Gibsonlook is limited in size, I’ll link to other options that will give you a similar look.

I am not sure where I got this graphic tee, but t-shirts like this are fairly easy to find. The font might be a smidge different, but the look and the sentiment will be very similar. I am partial to a black tee with white writing, but if black isn’t your color, you can usually get the tees in several different colors. Here are some similar versions for you.

I didn’t add much jewelry to my look because I didn’t think that it needed much. I try never to leave home without a pair of earrings. My gold AVI earrings travel with me anytime I leave town. I always take this gold pair and a silver pair also. My gold vermeil cross necklace is bought separately. I bought the 18-inch chain and then the cross pendant to create this necklace.

These bootcut jeans have turned into my favorite pair of jeans. Remember how I said that I want to wear things next to my skin that is soft? Well, I would have never thought that a pair of jeans would ever make my list for soft items, but I was wrong. This pair of Jag’s Jeans will rival my loungewear and leggings when it comes to comfort.

These bootcut jeans are a lighter wash which I seem to prefer in spring and summer. The cut of the jeans is very flattering, and they make my legs look very long and slender. While I love the look of the jeans, it is how they fit that made me rip off the tags. The jeans feature a material that smooths the tummy and lifts the rear. Can I get a big woohoo for that feature??? The waistband is stretchy and doesn’t cut into my skin, and they fit like a dream.

I am wearing a size 10 in the jeans, and I love the look and the fit. Here is the link for Petite sizes, and here is the link for Plus sizes.

These leopard print sandals are flattering and sexy looking. I just bought these heels, and I love that they have a velcro closure around the ankle. I hate trying to buckle a strap around my ankle, and I feel like a contortionist. The velcro closure is ingenious, and I think every pair of shoes should go to this style.

I am wearing my normal size 9 in these shoes, and they fit great. These shoes have a 3″ heel, but then here is the same print in a slightly different style if you prefer a wedge shoe. I have become a big fan of Vince Camuto shoes, and there are many gorgeous styles to choose from.

There are days when I don’t feel like wearing heels and looking dressed up, so I figured that you might like to see this outfit as a casual look. So, I ditched the blazer and heels and added a pair of white leather platform Keds sneakers instead. Did you see my recent post on sneakers? Someone asked why I didn’t include the all-American brand, Keds. The reason…I couldn’t find them.

I bought these platform sneakers to put them in that sneaker post. But, I had worn them and misplaced them. I finally found them in a random box in my office with many papers on top of them. Lol! I know that I didn’t put them in that box, but I have no idea how they got in there. I’m just thankful that I finally found them! I am wearing my usual size 9, so I think they fit TTS. Since I didn’t get a good photo of them, I’ll upload the photos I wore before.

 

 

The last thing that I added to my outfit is my Michael Kors canvas handbag. This is a great neutral handbag that can go with anything. Plus, the bag is a great size that holds everything that you need. It was hard finding a link for the bag tonight since most retailers have already sold out of this bag. Here is a link to a couple of different colors in this bag.

I got my subscribers list back, but I am still having an EMAIL SUBSCRIBER drive. Everyone who signs up for my emails from April 28th through Sunday (Mother’s Day), the 9th of May, will be entered into a drawing. I will be giving away 2 – $50.00 gift cards or Paypal cash each week. All you have to do is subscribe, and you are entered. I’ll announce 4 winners on Monday, May 10th!

If you have not signed up for my emails, JUST DO IT ALREADY!!! What is your hesitation???
