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!
My sister went to get her hair cut and colored last Saturday. The minute she walked in the door the lady began to tell her that the color was all wrong for her. She went on to tell her that she was wearing colors that we not flattering to her. All this coming from someone she had never met before. Lol! The lady whipped out some swatches and began to tell my sister that she thought she was a summer and show her the color range she needed to be buying. My poor sister HATED almost all the colors. Finally, the lady told her she could wear navy and gray. The funny thing is, I have been trying to get my sister out of black, black, and black for years and she pays me NO attention. A complete stranger tells her that and she goes shopping to buy new clothes. What is wrong with that picture? Doesn’t she know I have a fashion blog? Doesn’t she know that when she goes shopping she is supposed to say “WWTW? Lol!
I just had to show you these earrings. They are too cute! They were part of a Plunder Posse set and I fell in love with them. They are way larger than anything I would have picked out for myself but since they were part of the set I received, I decided to try them on. It appears I was guilty of not stepping outside my comfort zone too. Tip for all of you out there, give it a try and if you don’t like it then you can take it off. Haha! If you are wondering what the “Posse” is, it is a subscription service for a monthly surprise. The cost is $25.00 and that includes shipping and tax and will include 1 to 3 pieces. You can unsubscribe any month when you do not like that month’s items and then just re-subscribe the next month.
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.
So many opinions !!!
Darling top on darling you . Keep it !
I would only change one thing with this outfit – the earrings . I think the large gold filigree disc competes with the lace on the top . I’d choose a smaller turquoise earring .
Love the shoes . I’ve been looking for something similar …
You look wonderful !
I think it’s a pretty top and the turquoise looks great with it. But it is just not “your” color. I couldn’t wear it either. Would be a washout with my skin tone. Love your style tho !
I will be totally honest with you because you have helped me out so much. The only thing I see on this blouse that is bugging you is that is does seem a bit snug on the upper arm area other than that there is no problem . It is gorgeous !
So this time I would have to disagree with you. You look marvelous
WWTW, lol, you made me laugh! Tania, you are certainly in my head now. I was on vacation a couple weeks ago. Just so happened they had outlet malls at a town nearby. My husband wanted to go to one particular store and I was just going to stay at the hotel by the pool. Honestly, you and the blog popped in my mind and I thought “Oh, why not go see what they have, I bet Tania would.” Ended up getting 2 jackets that will work great for travel. I think I spent $20 total. I guess that is a good thing, right?? Happy St Patrick’s Day!☘
Michelle, now you made me laugh! ? It sounds like you got a great deal!!!
I think the top color is not a great color on you (although it might look better in person than how it comes across on the computer screen). Unless they’re elbow length, not a fan of the bell sleeves, (unless you keep your arms down all the time), they always end up looking ‘messy’ because they clump and slide up and down the arm. I’ve never been a big fan of bell sleeves. I also find I can’t seem to prepare meals in them because the sleeves drag through everything. One of those styles I hope is a passing fancy. You did right with the proportion, skinny jeans under a larger top and ballet flat. That all looks great!!!
You might not have styled your hair like the picture but you look beautiful!! and I am in love with this outfit!!!
Hi Tania. I have been told that I am a winter and I do like those colors. I like this top a lot except for the color of the lace on the bodice. I would probably like the top better overall if it was a different color. My hairdresser is awesome! She’s the one who gave me a new style that I love and she taught me how to style it so I can continue to wear it that way.
Funny, when I first pulled up the blog I totally loved the whole outfit! The earings look like they were made to match the shirt, and the peach color of the shirt is really in this Spring. After reading and then looking at every detail, yes I could see some things that I might not like. But sometimes it’s best not to pick it apart. Overall, I like it! 🙂
Oh, and the new do….yep, I do the same thing. Always revert back to the same style! hahaha
Tania, is this your new do? It looks great as always. I am the same I take pictures to my stylist and it still comes out the same. I think the way the sleeves are made is what seems tight at the top. And the color is a little off. We all have a miss every now and then.
Hello Tania. I admire to you. I love your look.
