KARAOKE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
I survived Friday night karaoke!!! No one left with hearing loss, and I didn’t see any with their hands over their ears. Haha! Actually, I have to say I ended up having a VERY good time. It probably helped that we were almost the only people in the place. There was another couple in the room next door who heard us singing, and came over to join us. Some of the songs we song were Delta Dawn (Sandy’s favorite), Suspicious Minds, Friends In Low Places (my personal favorite), and Crazy by Patsy Cline (Bertha’s favorite).
I tried to make everyone pass their cell phones forward before we started, but that didn’t happen. Haha I hope no one got video, only pictures. There was only one microphone, and since there was al least 8 of us singing, no one person was really heard. Since that was the case, I didn’t mind belting it out. I hope I will still be able to talk at tomorrow’s at the District meeting.
This is what I wore to karaoke and dinner. It was just us women from our woman’s club, for the most part. I thought this would look nice, but still be comfortable. The fact that these are pull on, elastic waist, pants had absolutely nothing to do with anything. Lol! My blouse is from Van Heusen. I know, this is making you think I really need to start going in Van Heusen more often. You can’t see, even in this close up, but it has a sea foam blue color running through the design. Here is a similar blouse
That is why I chose to carry my blue Dooney & Bourke purse, to pick up on the blue. Here is a beautiful Dooney satchel, and here is one that comes in lots of colors. I have on a pair of navy Van Heusen capri pants. They have just enough stretch in them to make them comfortable, and also they don’t seem to grow bigger as the day wears on. Don’t you just hate it when your pants fit in the morning, and by afternoon you can go to the bathroom without having to un-zip them? Here is a similar pair, and here is a plus size option.
You can see a close-up of these shoes. They are by G.I.L.I. and I bought them at the QVC store in town. They are quite a bit higher than I normally wear, and even Joe raised an eyebrow when I walked in work. I like the chunk heel, but these do put a lot of pressure on the balls of your feet. Here is a nice similar pair.What can I say, I was bored with taking pictures. Hahaha Anyway, my GORGEOUS glass necklace is a 1920’s vintage necklace. I am telling you, you need to go to antique markets and flea markets. You don’t find one of a kind pieces like this in the stores. My red carved bakelite bracelet matches the necklace well. Here is a necklace, I hesitate to call it similar, but it is red and it does have dangles. haha
This might have been the look of a few people at the restaurant tonight. Just saying………
I have a BRAND NEW blog for you to check out!!! My daughter-in-law has started a blog and she is just going to start telling a few people today. She is the one who is in this video that you might have already seen. She is absolutely adorable, and since she is justing starting out, she is in need of some views. If you have the time, could you please pop over to twentysomethingfashion and leave her an encouraging comment. I realize that this is probably not the type blogs you normally look at, but if you like it you might can tell your daughters, granddaughters, or co-workers, etc. It is hard when you first start out. I appreciate how lucky I have been to have developed a following that is so very, very, nice. I’m talking about you gurls!!!
This is also something I WANT and NEED: I have added a subscription button to the blog, right under the recent posts tab. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to sign up. You will then be notified by email when a new post is made.
Be sure to follow me on Pinterest, Bloglovin, Instagram, and Facebook.

I love the orange print and necklace! I cant remember when I went to Karaoke last, sounds like fun though.

very cute! I love the outfit! It looks great on you. Glad you survived the singing. LOL I’ll checkout the new blog
Did you get your hair cut? I love it a little short.
I did cut it a week or so ago. A lot of times it will look shorter because I have it tucked behind my ears. Or maybe it just needs to be washed. Haha
Your daughter-in-law is adorable! Now no woman has an excuse to look frumpy when the Stephens women give us such great inspiration.
I love this outfit. I don’t know if there is a van heusen store close by me. But I think I should start looking! What color is that lipstick you are wearing? Our coloring is similar, and I love it!! You are just adorable!
I’ll have to check on the lipstick. I know I ended up going with a bright red. I’ll try to let you know tomorrow.
Karaoke is always fun with a bunch on the mic- like you said, no one voice can really be heard, but by myself, oh h-e-doublehockeysticks no! Sounds like ya’ll had a great time though!
Love the red top and the necklace is super cute!
Your DIL’s blog is very nice! I like checking out fashion blogs for ALL ages as there is usually always something you can find to add to your own style and wardrobe- keeps me young and ‘fresh’ ! 😛
So glad I “stumbled” onto your blog! I have a ton of jewelry I haven’t worn in ages; why not? Seeing your lovely, put-together outfits has me pulling out my old pieces! (Thank goodness I didn’t “declutter” them!) I’m also in love with your SHOES! I’m banning myself from wearing my clunky “old-lady” shoes from now on! Thanks for letting me know I can be pretty darn sassy, even at 63! (Sassy at 63; I LIKE it!)
I’m glad you stumbled, too. Lol! By all means, you most certainly can be sassy at 63!
