JUST WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE REST OF THIS TOP
Hi everyone! Guess what??? Today is my blog anniversary, it has been 10 whole months. I started the blog on September 6th just on a whim. My sister had been after me for a year to start a blog on something, but I held back. I didn’t know anything more than anyone else, I was not an expert in any field. Why on earth would anyone read what I had to say, or how would they even find me? I live in a very remote part of the country, at least two hours from what most people would call civilization.
But for some odd reason, on that day in September, I threw my hat into the blogging atmosphere. I figured no one but my sister would ever see the blog, so what the heck! I would just “go for it!” I thought about talking about family, friends, aging, makeup, and a whole host of other things. However, when I sat down to a keyboard, I quickly find found out that I had nothing to say. Lol! So, I just took a picture of what I was wearing and put it on the blog. Not a lot of talking, I had no idea where to even go with this thing. I had to call my sister and have her tell me how to even “link” to clothing. It was pretty uneventful.
I didn’t tell a soul, with the exception of my sister. Not my friends, mother, children, or my husband. No one in town knew, and I thought it would stay that way. In my mind I had decided that if I was still blogging by January 1st, then telling everyone close to me would be my resolution. Turns out my secret didn’t stay secret that long. I finally fessed up to Joe when he was getting concerned as to why I was taking my picture everyday. My daughter “stumbled” upon my pictures on Instagram and told her brothers. Pretty soon the cat was out of the bag, and everything was in the open. By that time, I was a little more secure in what I was doing, and not afraid of looking like a fool. (That will be when I post the video’s I took today, you just wait!) 
So, ten months later, here I am. Learning as I go, and hopefully getting better every month. Let’s talk about today’s outfit. Do you like it? I love the colors in this top! The coral, teal, navy, tan, and white all flow really well together. I’m not sure, but I think this type hem is called a handkerchief. If it’s not, it should be. Lol! This one is by HeartSoul and I bought it at TJ Maxx a couple months ago. This is the first time that I have worn it. I put it with a pair of tan bermuda shorts, and a pair of teal shorts, but I didn’t like it with either one. I had almost decided that it was the way the top was made, and that I had made a bad purchase.

But, when I put it with these blue jean capri’s, I immediately liked the look. I bet it would have looked adorable with ankle skinny jeans, rolled with a cuff. I will try that next time! These cuffed capri jeans are several years old. They are an Izod brand, and I like that they are not a skinny jean. I love skinny jeans, but it is nice to occasionally mix it up a little.
Cuffed Capri Jeans: Vera Wang | Kut from the Kloth | Style & Co. (plus)
I warned you that this top was not what it seemed. I feel a tad bit exposed in this top without the cardigan. There is nothing indecent about the top, it is just laking some extra material. Haha This would be fine for the beach, or on vacation. BUT, I think that if I am running around town, I’ll just keep my cardigan on. My cardigan is a Joan Rivers that I bought at the QVC overstock outlet, but you can find a navy cardigan almost anywhere.

I have on a Plunder necklace that is not in the catalog. It is a special item that will only be for sale untill it sells out. The tassel on the necklace is the “perfect” match for this top! This necklace is called the Trudy, and there is a matching necklace called the Stevie that looks great when worn together. If you purchase any of the Plunder jewelry, just type my stylist number in the box when you go to checkout (241007). I have started an online party, and there is a dropdown box where you can choose Tania’s P Party at checkout. If you would like to have an online or FaceBook party, contact me and I will help you set everything up.
I have carried this Dooney & Bourke Patent leather satchel several times this years, go here to see the last time and a link to a very similar one. My Sperry Top Siders sandals are extremely comfortable. Here is where I wore them last, and a link.

I absolutely love this outfit. The necklace gets lost in the print. I wonder how a gold or silver or metallic necklace would look? One that fills the neck area, but doesn’t drop below the blouse neckline.
Love ur style Tania!!!!! My kinda look!! Enjoy checking to see how U put things together!

Good morning! I shared on Facebook. I love your tips and your video tutorials. I admire that you are willing to go naked-faced in front of the whole world. I’m thinking of trying the Reverse line by R&F. Love your blog!
I really like the Reverse line, but I know it is quite a lot of money. Joe will even remind me at night to “Go do your face.” He can see the results, so he knows I want to keep up the routine.

Great outfit, and I just found your blog – I’m super excited to see the outfits you put together every day! As a fellow blogger rapidly approaching 50 it’s definitely time to revamp my style – what suited me ten years ago definitely doesn’t fit the same way today!
I shared on Facebook! Let my friends know i’m a ‘closet’ fashionista! LOL! Love the top, don’t do sleeveless but the cardi works wonders. And, i am in love with the Trudy Plunder necklace!!!!❤️ Thanks, Tania. You do a heart and a day good. debs ?

Always enjoy checking your new looks with clothes I would wear! All about style with simplicity and a lil flashy but classy.
Shared on FB. Happy 10th! I really enjoy following you. All though my school years I wore uniforms and then work used to be suits and dresses. Now every thing is much more casual but it’s almost harder to look professional without being overboard or stuffy. Following you is helping me.
I enjoy your blog everyday! I have tried to duplicate several of your outfits. I am interested in knowing more about becoming a Plunder Stylist. I have fallen in love with that jewelry. I purchased one piece ( the necklace you have on with the white lace dress) which I went right out and found one for myself (not exactly the same one, but close) and ordered the necklace, had shoes already. Please keep doing what you do!
Happy 10 months of blogging! Somehow your blog seems much more “mature” than 10 months! You are doing a fabulous job!
I really like the top! The hemline is very flattering! And I love your bag – I think I think/say that every time I see it!
Love the outfit! Thank you so much for your blog! I am turning 50 in a few months and felt like I was in desperate need of a fashion makeover, that’s when I found your blog. You have amazing style and you have helped me tremendously. Keep up the awesome job! Thanks again! ☺️ Btw, sharing on FB.

Congratulations! You always make me smile! LOVE that top!!!!
Love this ! Love the colors. Shared to pinterest. I enjoy reading your blog every day.
Since I’ve started reading your blog, I have stopped getting up and “putting clothes on” and started “getting dressed.” Until I started reading your blog, I didn’t really know the difference. Now I make a choice to dress head-to-toe, wear jewelry, and look nice. I want to thank you for that! You have made a huge difference in my life. I feel happier, more confidant and more comfortable with who I am. Thank you for your 10 months of guidance!
This top is so adorable! Love it with and without the cardi. Can’t believe you have only been blogging for 10 months! It’s been almost 2 years and I still fee so far behind the curve!

Thanks for great fashion looks, a sunny outlook each day and a realistic look for those of us who are now on the ‘best’ side of 50. Keep blogging!
I shared on Twitter by the way.

Congrats on your 10th anniversary. Love you outfit, and enjoy your blog very much. Share on facebook and pinterest.
I shared this post on Twitter. I’m so glad you started this blog,Tania! You really inspire me to take care of myself and to make an effort to keep myself looking nice, even though it’s a bit harder now and takes more time than it did when I was in my twenties and thirties. ha! Love this top with and without the cardigan! You’re getting so tiny!! Have a great Wednesday!
Just shared on Twitter! Love today’s outfit! I’ve just recently started following you, so maybe you have addressed this before, but I have a quick question… How tall are you? I am quite tall, 5’11”, and am just wondering if the proportions that looks so good on you would look as good on me!
Congrats on your 10th! I tweeted and pinned you! Love your blog!
Congratulations on your anniversary! Love this top on you – the cut is perfect and I love the colors. So pretty! Have a great day :)!
Loved this post, shared with friends on FB

Do you feel like a celebrity? I think you kind of are 🙂 In the blog world, you are! Anywho, congratulations on taking this leap of faith bc it definitely worked for you. I love this top, with the jeans and cardigan, but you look great without the cardigan as well. Once again, thanks for sharing your fun stories and your closet 😉
Congrats! Shared on Facebook and Pinterest.
Shared on Facebook. By the way, you are looking good in this outfit. I would, also, call it a handkerchief top.
Shared on Facebook! Love your blog!
Shared on FB. Love the top and Love you! Adorable as usual!!
What!?! Only 10 months old? Inconceivable! I really appreciate the “dressing” on the porch…helps with a seasonal frame of reference. You and ur blog are rock stars. BTW you can definitely rock the top alone. -Julie

Every morning I read the news (which can be very depressing) and my very next stop is your blog which makes me feel a lot better and puts a little spring in my step. My favorite day is sundays ! I love all your outfits. Some I can wear, others i cant pull off because of my body shape, but i love them just the same. Keep up the great work. I have shared your post with friends, now fb

I love this kind of hemline—the asymmetry of it makes it so interesting!! And I agree with Sandy—you don’t need the cardigan, especially if it’s boiling outside. Your upper body rocks!

Shared it to Pinterest. Would love to try out Plunder jewelry. I have never seen that brand til you have been wearing it. Love it!
I read your blog everyday. I’m addicted to seeing what you’re wearing that day! LOL. I shared this post on my Twitter account – I would LOVE some Plunder jewelry. I hope I win!
Where is the suntan? When I saw you Sunday you were darker! I think you should wear this top around town without a cardigan! You look great?
Tania, I love your hairstyle. Would you consider having someone take pics from different angles so I could show my stylist. I’m sure others would appreciate as well. Love your blog!
Love this top!! Now I will be searching all the TJ’s. I read your blog the first thing everyday and it helps me decide what to wear each day.
Thank you for your inspiration!!
Shared on Pinterest! Love your blog and outfit! Start my day reading your blog! Awesome!!!

Love your blog, look forward to reading it every morning. Shared on Twitter. Congratulations on your anniversary!
Shared on Pinterest. Start every day by reading your blog!
It is called a handkerchief hem and it looks adorable on you. Understand about the wearing a cardigan because of the skinny straps. Like it with the jeans. And as always great choice in accessories. Hope you have a fabulous day and I shared on pinetrest.
I also started my blog at my sister’s insistence! So funny. And June 24 was my 10 month anniversary as well! How funny that our beginnings are so similar! Your shirt is amazing! I believe it is called a handkerchief hem and it is super flattering! I just got a really adorable asymmetrical hem tank top at Cato’s yesterday that is so cute. I will be styling it soon! Really great post. I just shared on Twitter @ShelbeeEdge!

Hey Tania, shared it to my timeline on Facebook. Friends in New Zealand Like your posts?
Love the top and I would also wear it with a cardigan unless it was exceptionally hot or I was just hanging out. And congratulations on the upcoming milestone. Your venture into blogging sounds a lot like mine, even the part of keeping it on the down low at first, although I didn’t have anyone urging me to start a blog. August is my 1 year anniversary and I waited until October to ‘go public’ with family and friends.
