I AM CRAZY ABOUT GINGHAM
If you have grandchildren, then you know that they can talk you into almost anything. That was the case this past Saturday when Emersyn and I went to the park. But, later on, that afternoon after she got finished helping her dad wash cars, they came over to the house and we were all outside on the porch. It was beautiful on Saturday and the temperatures were really warm. Emersyn was running around in the yard and yelled out to me that she could do a cartwheel, “watch me NeeNee!”
She was adorable trying to do her cartwheel and then she started in on her daddy and mommy to do a cartwheel. Kayla was actually pretty good and Joseph looked a lot like Emersyn. Lol! I tried to sneak and video his attempt but he caught me and wasn’t having that. Then, it was NeeNee’s turn. Gurl’s, do you know how long it has been since I had even tried to do a cartwheel? Let’s just say that it has been a long time. Lol!!! Anyway, my attempt might have been very similar to Josephs and Emersyn’s but I made up for it when I showed her how to do a split. Yes, I can still do a split! The little rat plopped right down and did a perfect split. I was amazed at her and Joe was astonished at me. Hahahaha!
It looks like I am styling gingham again today. (Check out yesterday’s post also) I told you that I was seriously crushing on the gingham print and I have been for about 3 years. If I see something gingham it is like I don’t have the power to walk away. Lol! Maybe the checks are putting me into a trance. Anyway, I bought this cute gingham top the other day when I went shopping at Old Navy. I loved the banding around the top and even though it is made to wear off the shoulder, I chose to wear it up today just like a normal top. This gingham top is made from a cotton/rayon blend and it is machine washable which is a big plus! I bought the navy (like I did the tote) but it also comes in red. 
I chose to wear the navy and white print with my white pants c/o Purple Poppy. I got these in January right before I went to Lake Oconee (see here) and I love, love, love how they fit. This is a pair by Lisette and I love that they have a tummy control panel in the front. That is worth its weight in gold!!! White pants are a staple in the summer and a classic that will not go out of style. If you don’t already own a pair, then you need to get a pair. You will wonder how you ever did without them.
Here is a view from the back and also a view of the bottom of my shoe. I bet it isn’t every blogger that you follow that will show you the bottom of their shoe. Lol! 
I have been sharing the business opportunity of Rodan + Fields a lot of this month. There is a great reason that I have been doing this. I truly love helping women. I started this blog for that very reason. I wanted to boost the confidence of women through fashion. Rodan + Fields was not a business that I was looking for but I am soooooooooooooooooo glad that I was so vain that I ordered the products. Then, I am soooooooo glad that I the products worked for me and that I was so impressed that I wanted to sign on as a consultant. This has been a blessing for me and my family, it truly has and I want to give you the same gift. I use the word gift because that is exactly what it is!!! Please, please, please, at least give this some thought. I would love that next year you look back and say, “I am so glad that I contacted Tania about R+F.” Message me at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com and go to tstephens5.myrandf.biz and check out the business kits.
I really appreciate all of the shares and the pins of my outfits that you have been doing. PLEASE continue to do that, you won’t believe the difference it has made in my number of visitors to my blog.

Those Nina shoes looks great. They are no longer available, but they still look great. We’ll have to get your some new Nina shoes! 🙂
I love these shoes, Mary. They have been a favorite since I got them! I would love to have more shoes. Lol!!!
I love me some gingham! I always have. And the larger buffalo check. IDK why. It just appeals to me. This is a darling top and Old Navy is a good price point for anyone.
I just bought a huge red and white check shirt on Friday. I hope it fits since I haven’t tried it on yet. Lol!
I loved this too also when I was at Old Navy the other day however it wasn’t on sale so I didn’t purchase it with regrets. Two days later I saw it on sale and I could use my Old Navy cash. I decided to get both the navy and the red online. I can’t waot to get them and wear them on vacation in Florida
That worked out great for you, Cheryl. When I try that it always ends up being sold out of my size.
Tania, that is an adorable outfit, especially w those shoes and earrings! I love off the shoulder things so I might have to order that top! And I cant believe you can do a cartwheel orb the spkits! You must have been a cheerleader! I did the splits two years ago for the first time in my life when my huge Doberman knocked me down in the kitchen!
Oh no, doing the splits from being knocked down would not have been fun. Lol! Yes, I was a cheerleader for a while when I was younger.
I haven’t found a pair of white pants that work for me, but I think I’ll give the Lisette brand a look see!
I like gingham too but I just bought a really cute pair of green gingham mules and my teenage daughters both gave them a big thumbs down. In fact, my 19 year old couldn’t even look at them she thought they were so ugly! Of course, being the good mom that I am, I decided to chase her around the house with them! Ah, it’s the little things!

That is so cute, Julia! They think they know everything at that age. LOL!!! By the end of the summer, she will be wanting to borrow them. Hahaha
This looks like it will be a cool top for summer. I am going to be on the hunt for white jeans once our weather warms up as I can’t get in the mood for shopping right now. And yes… we will do almost anything if the grandkids ask!
Now is the best time to shop, Sandy. The items haven’t been picked over and are in supply right now.
Gingham is great to wear. So fresh looking. Also the white trousers are a great shape and fit on you. The whole outfit looks fresh and crisp. Would love to see the top with red trousers. By the way the shoes are lovely. So unusual. Have a great day. X
Love your white jeans Tania and the gingham I haven’t been brave enough yet to try it but you never know ! I’ll post a photo when I do ? love love love your shoes I can’t resist a colorful stiletto
Who says white isn’t slimming? The cut and length of these pants make you look taller and slimmer, than you already are, they look great! Of course, the blue in the gingham looks great on you, too. (I’m jealous I can’t wear off the shoulder styles, …too large busted, need bras with shoulder straps.) The total outfit is a hit!
Diana, I know that a lot of women couldn’t wear this if they were too large chested. That is why I wore it today and wore a normal bra.
