PLANNING AN OUTFIT AROUND YOUR ACCESSORIES

I am participating in a gratitude FaceBook group. Every day you list 10 things that you are thankful for. The first day I was very deep and profound with my list. Today, however, I was more frivolous in my choices. I must have been cold when I was making out my list because I listed my cozy robe, my warm fuzzy houseshoes, and my electric blanket. Lol! I think it must have been because my heat went out the other day but I have been extremely thankful for anything warm lately. Haha!You gurls made my list also. I am thankful for the blog and all of my new found friends. I know so many of you through your comments and also through your FaceBook pages. I’ll be talking to Joe about something one of you said and he will say. “who is that?” I will laugh and say, “that’ is my friend in New Jersey, or New Mexico, or Canada.” You get the idea. I also happened to be doing some laundry this morning so the washer and dryer and dishwasher also made my list today. Lol!!! Did you ever think that you would wear cranberry and gold/mustard together? I am not sure that I would have come up with this combination if I hadn’t seen the two colors together in this scarf. That is one reason that I love buying scarves. This scarf is one that I bought from Cato’s earlier in the year but I am always on the lookout. The longer cranberry open front cardigan is from Old Navy. I love the longer style cardigan and I prefer the open front instead of the button type. The real reason I like the open front best is that I can’t lose a button that way. Lol!

Here are a few scarves that I thought were interesting for you to look at.

I am thrilled that so many of you took my advice and checked out the Valentine specials from Plunder. I ordered me several items also. I love red accessories and this is a great way to get a tiny bit of red without having a large clothing item being red. Everyone cannot wear red against their skin tone. The Jaycee earrings have a little motion when you walk which draws attention to your face. They are lightweight and super cute. I didn’t opt for a necklace today because of the scarf but I did stack my bracelets. I have on the Gavin and the Clementine as well as an inspirational bangle from Kate Spade. Today I ordered 500.00 in Plunder jewelry! I am stocking up for giveaway items for everyone who is buying 75.00 in products excluding shipping and taxes. January is the month to make your purchase!!! Go to plunderdesign.com/taniastephens to place an order and be sure to pick a party with my name in it. I started to wear navy pants with this look but at the last minute, I decided to wear this brushed pair of Rockstar jeans from Old Navy instead. Navy would probably have actually looked better but I wanted to try something different. I like this “moleskin” color and I hadn’t worn this pair this year. I did cuff them so that I could wear my ankle boots (which happens to be from Old Navy also) with them. I have blinding white skin and even that little sliver that is showing is more than I need to show. I “need” to start putting on some sunless tanner before long. Joe teased me the other day that he didn’t even need to turn on the bedroom light, he could see by the reflection off of my legs. WHY do I put up with him???
I am running late tonight in writing my blog post. I am going to blame Jennifer Connolly from A Well Styled Life. Lol! We talked for over an hour tonight. It is fun to talk blog and she has been so helpful to me since she has been blogging for several years longer than me. She has given me guidance, tips, and tricks, and tonight I repaid the favor although she doesn’t know it yet. She signed up as a consultant for Rodan + Fields so we are now going to be business partners as well as friends. She is excited to get started on her lashes and I am excited for her. I told her to start thinking about the R+F convention which is going to be in New Orleans this coming September. I think she is just trying to figure out her websites right now but I have big plans for her. Lol!!! One of the other things that I was thankful for today is the community that I have come to know in R+F. They are just like you ladies; warm, friendly, helpful, and lots of fun. You are welcome to come along on this journey with us.
