PUTTING ON THE RITZ
Everyone needs to get away every now and then. My trip to Lake Oconee has provided some much need rest and relaxation. While relaxing was high on the agenda going out to eat for a nice dinner was even higher on the agenda. I knew we had dinner reservations on Saturday night and I was stressing over what to pack. I wanted to wear something that I hadn’t worn before and since I am traveling with a younger crowd I wanted to look really nice.
I pretty much leaped for joy when I got the email from Erin at Purple Poppy asking me if I liked the Nally & Millie Polka Dot top. Typing “YES” was done it record time. Polka Dot prints are fun and I am drawn to items with this pattern. I really liked that it was black, go figure, because I was already envisioning wearing it with a pair of white pants.
The top is sheer and the polka dot pattern is over the entire top. I added my own black tank under the top but I also played with adding white and a bright pink color. They both looked super cute and I can see wearing the pink with jeans later for a more casual look. This top runs large so I am wearing one size smaller than usual.
I wanted to include the view from the back so that you see that the pattern is not on the front only. 
You can never go wrong with classic black and white. Erin asked if I had ever tried the Lisette pant and wanted to send me this full-length pair to see what I thought. I am usually skeptical of white pants if I don’t see them in person. I knew that the quality of the clothing I had previously gotten from the Purple Poppy had always been great so I figured these would be nice. I was right, this pair is plenty thick so that you can’t see through them and there is a front panel on the inside to give extra tummy control. This pair has plenty of stretch so that you have no problem getting in and out of vehicles. There is also an ankle pant style for those who need a shorter version. I am wearing my normal size which is a 10.
It doesn’t matter if you are going out to dinner, attending a party, or just feel like putting on the ritz, you can’t go wrong with this outfit from Purple Poppy. And in case you were wondering, that younger crowd loved my look. Lol!

Black and white, always a classic. The cuts, lengths and styles look great on you.
You look beautiful. Love the classic black & white. I also wear white pants all year round. Your weekend trip looked wonderful.
Very cute outfit. Love your nail polish. Do you know the color?
No, Sharon, I am afraid I don’t. The nail place I go to now has bottles that only use numbers so I never know a name now.
Another beautiful outfit today!! I love the polka dots and black and white is always a classy look! So glad you had a good time with the younger girls – ha. They’ve got nothin’ on you! lol Where did you get the longer tank with the lace edging? I need some top extenders like that but I don’t know where I can purchase any. Do you have any suggestions? Have a great week!
Kim, the girls were a lot of fun. The longer tank is really old and it was from Victoria Secrets.
Beautiful outfit on a beautiful lady!
Cute look! Younger crowd lucky to have you- I like to remind myself of that often! Just cause media reinforces that being younger is better/ cooler – not buying it! HA
Oconee is lovely hope you got lots of R&R! Julie L
You make those white jeans look gooooooood. What a versatile top for a vacation. Black and white is always right together.
You look fabulous & so ready for a night out on the town! It’s always a big bonus to WOW the younger set! It looks like you had a wonderful time!
Love black and white together, but I’ve always been reluctant to wear white in the winter. The old saying no while after Labor Day. Seems like it stuck in my head, but now that I see you wear it maybe there’s hope for me. Going on a cruise in a few weeks and really wanted to wear white pants. The struggle is real! Glad you had a relaxing and fun weekend, can’t wait for mine.
Tania, you’re giving me inspiration to try white pants. I am a black pants girl all the way, but you always look so lovely. Your outfit is classy but still looks comfortable. So great that you got away for a weekend of fun.
Love, Love, Love that you are outside in these photos! I am one of your readers who suggested you take some “outdoor” photos for a change. You look amazing and I love this top! I do love polka dots and this sheer is icing on the cake!
All the best,
Holly
You look Gorgeous!!! Love Black and white this time of year! Sounds like you had a great weekend?
You look so very nice! Like the polka dots!
Very pretty! And you know both the black top and white pants can do such much for extending and mixing up a person’s wardrobe.
You look gorgeous gurl! I have been following your blog for about a year now and wanted you to know how much I look forward to your posts. You are an inspiration for the 50 somethings who want to live life to the fullest without trying to look like the younger crowd. I am proud of my 50 years! Purple Poppy is a new favorite of mine, thanks to you! Great designs, comfortable fit and really well made pieces. Enjoy your trip!!
I am also drawn to polka dots, it’s just a fun pattern!! Love your style, thanks for the inspiration.
I just love polka dots, Janis! I have several items with that print!
You had no worries of competing! That outfit was perfect! I love the top! Hope you enjoyed that massage! ?
Love it .you nailed it again
Classy, hope you had a great time
“Hanging” with a younger crowd can be challenging but I prefer to think they are looking at me and thinking what a classy lady…I want to look like her when I’m that age! I’m sure they looked at you as a role model. Very nice outfit. The top looks very versitile would love to see it styled with pink! Glad you had fun. Much deserved! Best… Kathy
Kathy, the younger crowd is so much fun. I forget that I am not their age but they probably don’t. Lol!
Love it. Very classy and yet fun.
Great outfit! You can never go wrong with black and white! Hope you had a fun time!
I love this outfit on you. So cute! I have to admit though that I still can’t wear white pants after Labor Day here in Minnesota. I never see anyone wear white pants in the winter. We are expecting a snow storm today. No school!
Bonnie, I understand how you feel. The first time I wore white pants after Labor Day it felt like everyone was looking at me.
Tania. Just love an outfit like this. Black and white are my favorite color combinations. Look forward to getting up each morning to read your Blog.
Gorgeous!!! and Classy!!! I am not sure how to whistle in text lingo….but let’s just say the younger girls have nothing on you. So happy to hear you are getting some R & R. ~Lisa~
Haha, Lisa. Whistling in text lingo. Lol!
You look fabulous, great outfit!
Gorgeous Tania very classy and on trend you can’t go wrong with black and white lots like you had a fab Weekend ?
I agree, Bernie! When in doubt you should wear black and white.
Great outfit!
Love it. I am a big fan of black and white and you hit it out of the park on this one! Glad you had fun and relaxed a little!
We had a blast, Teresa!
