ORANGE AND WHITE LOOKS GREAT TOGETHER
I didn’t get to watch the Tennessee Volunteers play football last night against Appalachian State, and that is probably a good thing. I hear it was a crazy game, and that the Vol’s did not play well. Some say a win is still a win, but others say, “C’mon Man!” Either way, I am wearing orange and white, not for the Vol’s, but because it says something about my mood.
Crabby, get it, I have on a shirt with a crab. Lol! Truthfully, I am not really in a crabby mood even thought my plans got thrown in the trash. There are folks in Florida that are having it much worse, and there are probably many still without power. I on the other hand was crabby because I had to go into work after all. I had planned on going ahead and taking the day off since I had already planned to do that, but one of our employees took the day off instead. That left us short handed because another employee is on vacation, so I had to go in. Responsibility is for the birds. ?
I grabbed this sweater out this morning to wear. I knew I had worn it before this spring, so I looked back to see how. I wanted to take a different slant on the top, and I think I achieved my goal. Here is the last look. It is a matter of taste, as to which one you like best. Both ways look fine, and this just goes to show you that you can take a top in your closet, and then pair it with a different bottom for a whole new look. You might remember the sweater because of the crab, but you have to admit that this look is completely different.
Just so you know, I am a little bit on the nut-so side. When I was getting ready, I started looking for jewelry. I thought in my mind that I wanted to wear the Bonita necklace, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. The I remembered my daughter wearing it to a brunch that she attended while I was in Livingston. I already had on the matching earrings, Lupe, so I just left them on and went to look for a different necklace. I pulled out the Felice necklace, then I grabbed a turquoise Eunice bracelet, because I thought I was going to carry this purse. As you can see, that didn’t happen. I still liked the bracelet though, because orange and turquoise go great together. I started changing purses, and I found the Bonita necklace that I had been looking for in my purse. I put it on, but forgot to take off the other necklace. I never even noticed that I had on both necklaces till I started editing my pictures last night. See, I told you I was a little nutty. I am blown at how nice you gurls are. You could buy Plunder from another stylist, but you choose to buy from me. That is unbelievable!!! I have decided to not be like the cell phone companies, they only give rewards to “new” customers. I think the customers who have been loyal and stick with you also need rewarding. So, I am going to be giving away a necklace this month to two of my customers. I just want to randomly say thank you.
I chose white jeans with this look today. I haven’t worn my white jeans in a while, so I shook off the cobwebs and put them on. Haha The jade green satchel is one that I bought a couple years ago at TJ Maxx. I think it is by Valenetta. but I will have to go look to be sure. I have carried this purse over and over and over again. Just because it is green, do not let that scare you. Here is the last time I carried it, look how it goes with gray.
White Jeans: Distressed | Miraclebody | Kut From The Kloth

I bought this orange and white sweater earlier this spring at Belk. I found it on the clearance rack, and I knew it was too cute to pass up. This sweater is by Crown & Ivy, and I love their brand. It is happy and colorful. Does that sound like someone you know? Lol! Since I bought this top this spring, it of course does not exist any longer on their website.
Colorful Sweater: Doggie | Monkey | Plus Crab
I saved the best for last. You know I love my (c/o) Nina Original Pumps. They are called Agenda, and these are the Pink Miami Floral. Just like the green satchel, you might think you would not get a lot of wear for such a colorful shoe, but you would be WRONG! I have only had these shoes a month or so, and I have worn them at least three times on the blog, and once or twice that never got posted. (See here and here) You just have to step outside the box. Everybody stays in the box, you need to explore occasionally. Lol!
I know some of you ladies are going to be staying home this Labor Day, and if you are looking for some great sales, I am linking to a few of my favorites stores. Each of these are having some fabulous sales, be sure to check them out. You might want to go hide your credit card first though. Haha

Love, Love this sweater! And since I also LOVE crab, I should find one! Cute outfit!
I just started reading your blog! I am loving it and look forward to your posts. Some of the items you put together…I would not have imagined…but they look awesome. I keep thinking…hey I have that item but wouldn’t have thought to put it with that item!!! I feel like I have been re-invented!!! Thanks! By the way…I am 57
I like the orange and white better too. The shoes are very versatile and you have done a great job styling them with various outfits. ~Lisa~
Hi Tania, I live in Australia and follow your blog I would like to purchase from Plunder, via your no. But do they deliver to Melbourne Australia?
Tracey, they do not ship to Australia. I actually had a reader want me to place an order for her. The items were shipped to me, then I shipped them on to her. I can do this for you, but the shipping amount is crazy expensive. It was 7.00 to ship to me, and then another 40.00 to ship to her in US money.
Hi Tania,
Thank you for letting me know, what a shame. I love your accessories. Many thanks Tracey
Orange has been my go-to color this summer. You look great as usual! Love the shoes!
Love the sweater.
I prefer the white jeans to the blue pants. Such a fun look with the orange stripes! A
And those shoes are better & better each time!??
This look is fabulous! You know what really sends it over are those gorgeous shoes!!! I avoid buying patterned shoes, but you have changed my mind. You have managed to style them with many outfits and they really make everything oh so special!
I had always steered away from patterned shoes too. I am so glad that I went outside my comfort zone.
Love this look, especially the shoes!!! Super cute sweater. That orange is soooo much better than the burnt orange one sees in Texas. HA
These shoes are really, really special!
oh…..those shoes those shoes!!!!! I’m finding I am wearing mine with a lot more than I ever dreamed!!!!! #fabulous #styling
Aren’t they fabulous, Janice???
You are such an inspiration to me, as well as many others no doubt. Please keep the blog going as long as possible. Reading your daily post is like hearing from a friend even though we’ve never met!
Thanks Teresa! That is so sweet:)
I love your sweater. Orange looks very nice on you. Have a great holiday weekend.
I love this outfit!! I am LOVING your blog. I appreciate your humor, sense of style and especially learning to coordinate with color. Have a great weekend. Your new friend in South Florida.
Thanks Janet. I hope all is well with you in South Florida. I am so glad you found my blog. Now, go tell everyone you know!!! Hahaha
Love, love, love the shoes!
Lovely, as always, Tania. I love your hair and really think your nails, with that soft neutral color, look gorgeous, too!
Your my go-to blog with my morning coffee! God bless you also, for sharing Him with everyone on Sunday’s, too.
Thanks Suzi! I can’t believe you noticed my nails. I was afraid the nude color would just blend in, and never be seen. You have a keen eye.
Hi Tania! Despite your change in plans, you do look bright and cheery-you always make my day! Love, love your orange and white-here in Texas it’s burnt orange and white, a little deeper color, I think. All your pretty and fun jewelry has me hooked on Plunder! I’ve already gotten a couple of necklaces from your store and I’m ready for more. So I guess I better dust off the credit card LOL. I hope you have a lovely long weekend!
Texas and Tennessee both have a UT. Haha I am that way about Plunder also. I am hooked!!! Just you wait till you see what all I have coming new. You might want to even sign up to be a stylist. Think about it and let me know if you want any additional information. fiftyisnotold@gmail.com
Tania,
I love it. It’s very summery-y, and yet the orange points forward to September and fall.
I would love it if you did a post on undergarments. If you’re not too shy, I’d love to know if you are partial to any particular brands or styles. Pretty yet functional undergarments are difficult as we age, I think.
I had not thought about a post about undergarments. I am thinking of doing one on night time apparel, (aka as lingerie)
You look great! You know I work at Belk managing a make up counter. Crown and Ivy is one of my favorites fun prints. Belk is also having great clearance sale up to 75% off. On a solemn note power been off since yesterday morning. Be glad you turned around on your trip.
Wow, Connie! I know you live in Georgia, I never thought about the power being off there. I am glad we turned around:(
I’m wearing my orange and white today for TN as well. My husband is a Volunteer and he feels the same way you do about the game
Next weekend is going to be crazy. Battle in Bristol!!! I am a Tennessee girl that lives and works in a Virginia world. It is going to be BAD…..
Ditto all the comments, love the shoes & white pants w/the happy orange. My two favorites stores, Steinmart & Belk are also having huge super clearance sales this weekend. Yay hope to pick up a few things that I’ve had my eye on but did’t want to pay full price.
I love those two stores. I was sleepy, and got tired of linking to stores. Some blogger I am. Hahaha
Love, Love, Love the orange and white! And those shoes…… Have a great weekend!
Great look! I love orange!
You look lovely Tania! Have a great weekend!
Love orange and white!!! Looks awesome on you. I’m always nervous about orange s it is so hard against my face but combined with white softens the whole look – love it!!!

Another great look on you and thanks for showing us different ways to get extra mileage out of the same item of clothing, the darker pants certainly do change the whole look. I think I prefer the white pants, they make the orange zing! Have a wonderful long weekend.
I liked the white look better too, Caroline. I was actually afraid it would be too much “white” till I saw the pictures.
