Milestone’s, One Down and Hundreds To Go
Let’s celebrate!!! I actually made it to the one month mark. Lol! I know some bloggers have been online for years and years, but this is a big deal to me. For this first milestone, I decided to do a giveaway, and wear plaid, pearls, and pants. Aren’t you glad I included the pants?
This plaid shirt is one of my favorite purchases this year. I bought it a month ago at Old Navy on a trip to Tennessee. This one is similar, I couldn’t find the actual one on the website. These pearls are a vintage find, but you can find these on the Cato’s website. I remember when my husband and I first started dating, I would put on a necklace like this, and he told me that only me and little gray haired old women wore jewelry like this. Let’s not talk about my hair, but let’s just say I have more in common with those ladies than I did back then.
The purse is a little black crocodile print vintage purse. The really cool thing about this purse is the handle.
Take off the pearls, change the purse, throw on a vest, and the entire look of the outfit changes. It goes from an elegant look, to a more laid back look. The pants are Mid-Rise Rockstar jeans. They sit just below the waist and have a skinny leg. The knee patch puts a whole new look to just plain jeans.
This purse is a Emma Fox that I picked up a couple years ago at T J Maxx. Here is a similar Emma Fox purse at Macy’s. And the bootie’s are Marc Fisher’s that I purchased at the QVC overstock outlet. They are really nice, and are great quality.
Now about the milestone. According to Wikipedia: A milestone is a significant event in your life. Often a milestone marks the start of a new chapter. My milestone is blogging consistently, for ONE month. To celebrate, I am giving away two $25.00 gift cards to Amazon. Entering is easy, just follow me on Bloglovin, Pinterest, Twitter, or Instagram, and comment below that you would like to be entered. A simple, “enter”, or “done”, will suffice. You can make comments till Thusday, the 15th at 12:00 p.m., and the winners will be announced on Friday, the 16th. One comment per person, please. I will not be making any reply’s to anyone to not confuse the random picker.

Congratulations on making a milestone. I love your classic style and fun sense of humor. Keep up the great work-you are inspiring!
Came across your blog in a fashion linkup. I could tell that I liked your style when I saw the photo of your plaid and pearls–yes! As I’ve gotten older, I make a conscious effort of wearing my “nice” jewelry, like pearls, for an everyday outing, even with jeans, or using the sterling silverware for weeknights. I think your look is awesome!
I’m entering and followed you on Pinterest. And congrats on one month of blogging! Keep up the great work. This is month three for me on my blog! It’s fun, isn’t it?

I am just loving your blog! You are gorgeous and you style clothes so well. It’s such a classic look to add pearls with jeans and plaid, I think. Love it! Congratulations on your milestone.

Congratulations and thanks for all your hard work! I love all of your outfits and think I can wear most of them (except for the tight skinny jeans) even though I’m 62. I’m on the tall/thin side, so I hope I look okay….I asked my kids if I dress too young and they said, “No way!” so I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. Thanks for helping me to dress better and please don’t stop blogging!
