LACE DETAILS
We are all creatures of habit and they can be hard to change. I laugh about my hairstyle all the time. I will take a picture to my hairstylists and tell her that I want the cut in the picture. She cuts my hair and styles it like the picture and I just love the look. THEN, I go home and wash my hair and style it exactly like my old style. I am not sure why I think the result would be different because it’s not. I end up looking the same way and nothing like the picture I gave her. Lol!
Turquoise was the choice for the day. Turquoise has been my choice for months now, I am addicted. Lol! I just love the bright pop of blue, it makes me happy. The Loudene cross necklace is perfect! I like the length and the style because it is great for a casual outfit or when I wear it to church. The turquoise cuff was a special but I can’t remember when, and I added the Tiffany pendant. On my other arm, I have on several bracelets. The pink one is Broedrick, the middle one is the Eunice, and the bottom one was the Gage which is now sold out. I have to laugh at this picture because I was trying an experiment last night. I decided to see if my Reverse Accelerator Lightning would work on my age spots on my hands. I scrubbed and added the products which took off my faux tan. Ooops, I forgot to reapply my tan to my hands. Lol!!! At least you can see how well my tanner works, I am always trying to find the silver lining.
What do you all think about this top? Truthfully, I am undecided. I loved the top in the store because of all the lace details. The hemline is GORGEOUS!!! But I have worn this before and I deleted all the pictures because I looked like a Cow in them. I decided to give it another shot today and I am still not loving the results. However, I got several compliments on the top. Do you think they were just being nice? My problem with the top is that I think the arms at the top look too tight and then the bell sleeve starts and also the puckers at the bust makes you look big in this area. You would think that because I am not large in that area I would like that, but I don’t. It is probably going to go on the not going to wear again shelf. (I do have on a camisole under this)
Today’s jeans are skinny jeans because they were clean. Lol! I wasn’t feeling like boots or heels (gasp) so I went with this cute ballet cheetah print slipper instead. This pair is a year or so old but this print is still very much in style. Mine are by Isaac Mizrahi and they are really comfortable.
Well, Tania–you definitely don’t look like a cow! I think pictures only show 2 dimensional of what others see as 3-D! So keep the top—it’s fun!!

I am the same way with my hair. I go with all these amazing pictures and come out looking the same. Lol
I have to agree on the top. It is probably the first thing you have worn that I really don’t like, color or style. It is not you but the top. Sorry.
This made me laugh….2 days ago I took your picture to my hair stylist and asked her to cut my hair like your’s. She said “no problem.” She immediately started snipping away and it looks nothing like your cut!! Lol. I think you were on the right track adding the turquoise to this style and color top. But, I don’t think the cut is correct through the bodice or sleeves and it is an odd color. I think a lot of skin colors would struggle to pull it off. I’m wondering if wearing a pop of color in a tank or cami underneath might help? Maybe in teal or turqoise?
I love the top! I like the boho feel. I think that I would love it more in a different color. Love the lace and the hem. Love the jewelry also.
haha Tania I think you hit the nail on the head for most people – isn’t it so that we normally don’t listen to those close to us – or not so much and then when a complete stranger says something we believe them – I know I do it all the time much to the despair of my poor hubby – eek.

Hmmmm …going to be honest again, Tania, and say that something is just not right for me, with this top!!!!!! I think if it didn’t have the lace in the middle, but only at the bottom and the top, it might have been better – maybe there’s just too much going on on this top!!!! The colour of the lace at the shoulders is also bothering me. But looking at it again, I think it looks OK, but it’s not the best I’ve seen you wearing!!!!! Love the simple Cross necklace and the earrings!!!!
Have a great day!!!!

I think I would refer to this top as a “hot mess,” Petra. But like you, I love the jewelry. Lol!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day, Tania! I actually love your top & it’s color & uniqueness, especially with the blue jewelry accents. I am similar coloring to you and I’ll be copying this idea from you!
Top o’ the morning to you Tania and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!?☘️? You look great as always having said that two things I think would make this top perfect. Being white and the lace at the bottom of the sleeves overwhelms. Would cut most of it off and just saw back the edge with the points. The rest is fine and it fits you. Be well!
Tania, l feel the same as the other ladies above the top is cute in every way but….. Since I feel like you are my girlfriend, this color is so….. Not for you. Jewelry is great my favorite as well. You don’t have many misses, but this one’s not for you. Love your blog and I think your a sweet sassy, lady and wish you lived closer to Louisiana so we could get together and shop and enjoy each other’s company. But this will have to do:-)(+_+)
Donna, I agree wholeheartedly. My Energizer Bunny Friend always says that it would destroy her for someone to pick apart her outfit. I tell her that it doesn’t bother me when I already know there is a problem. I am glad you gurls feel comfortable enough to tell the truth, we are friends.
I really like the top on you. The blue jeans and turquoise jewelry give the colour contrast you need to wear this colour. I’d keep it! Btw, you’ve given me new ideas on how to wear turquoise I hadn’t thought of. Helps me get out of my comfort zone!
