SIMPLE AND ELEGANT
Today is National Leave A Comment On My Blog day!!! Woohoo! I have been waiting for this day all year. This is the day when whoever is reading this needs to leave a comment and they will be entered into a drawing for a giveaway. Okay, there is no National Leave A Comment On My Blog day, but this is the 6th 8th so that means it is time for a giveaway as I celebrate my blogaversary date. 
I started blogging on September 6th of 2015. That seems so very long ago, or as my son tells me, “It feels like 5 minutes underwater.” Blogging has been challenging and rewarding in so many ways. I am starting to feel like an oldtimer even though I am still such a newbie. There are all kinds of new words in my vocabulary like widgets, plugins, SEO, linkups, and analytics. I remember the first comment I ever got, I remember my first email subscriber, I remember my first email from a follower, and I still love reading EVERY comment that is left. I have shared my life with you and I hope you have enjoyed the journey so far. And since I started the blog, I have gained many new friends and quite a few business partners.
It is weird to take pictures without a purse because you don’t know what to do with your hands. Lol! You might notice that they are awkwardly placed in these photos. Also, it is about 11 degrees outside, so I am not dallying in taking the pictures. I was just crossing my fingers that there would be a couple I could use.
My earrings are called the Denise, which just happens to be my middle name Haha! I, of course, had to have them before I even knew what they looked like. They are quite sparkly, so I only wear them it I am feeling “dressy.” Joe and I don’t go to very many places where I need to “put on the dog” but I want to have some items to pick from when the chance arises.
This Lindsay necklace has plenty of bling too. It doesn’t show how flashy it is in the pictures, but there are crystals and rhinestones along with pearls. I wear this all the time, even with jeans. It is fun to mix in a little glam in an otherwise casual outfit. 
Both of these bracelets are “wowzer!” There are 5 rows of pearls and the round face is encrusted with rhinestones. I like how this Donita bracelet adjusts. It has three links in the back and you just take out what you don’t need. The bracelet on the right is the Georgia. I didn’t order this bracelet for a long time because I thought it was just too over the top. I had to close my last party and open a new one in January. To place an order go to www.plunderdesign.com/party/havefaith As always, I offer a 10% discount on all orders over $50.00 (excluding shipping and taxes.)
I thought I would show you the surprise element. I bought these fun pantyhose at a Halloween store years ago. They remind me of a time gone by. My booties are black Marc Fisher and they are a couple years old. I like the silver buckle accent and the pointy toe.
Now for this sweater dress. I bought this last spring at Belk. They were having a huge clearance sale and I left with several bags of goodies. I thought this was so elegant when I saw the dress and poncho. This dress set is by Nina Leonard and was originally a $100.00. It had been marked down to 24.99 and was on the 75% off rack. They almost gave me this dress. Lol! It is a sweater knit material and the dress has a crew neckline and long sleeves. The poncho is out of the same material and has the fuzziest, softest, pompoms attached. I really like that the dress can be worn by itself, under a jacket or cardigan, and with the poncho. You can also wear the poncho with another look. I think it would look really adorable with blue jeans and a white button-up shirt. What do you think?
If you look close in the photos you can see little snow flurries flying around. I was FREEZING! Now, for the giveaway. You are probably aware that I am trying to grow my Plunder Design and Rodan and Fields business. Some of you are interested and might have some questions but are afraid to ask. Today I am giving everyone the opportunity to ask questions about either company. Wonder if there are minimums, what the commissions are, return policies, etc, just ask. I will answer all the questions and even if you are not interested in either business, those that are will have a wonderful opportunity to read all about the businesses. Siri will pick the winner and the winner gets a $75.00 shopping spree with Plunder. Yes, I use Siri. I tell Siri to pick a random number between 1 and however many comments I have. She picks a number and I count backward till I come to her number. Lol! I will announce the winner on Friday.
Since this is NATIONAL LEAVE A COMMENT DAY I know that I am going to have lots and lots of entries!!! Start asking………
Joining Plunder is 99.00. That is not a huge amount of money for starting your own business but I want to make it even easier. If you join Plunder with me, I will offer to pay half of your kit back to you. If you are interested, then email me for the details at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com.
Joining Rodan and Fields has three levels you can join at. If you join me in my business with at least the 395.00 kit, I will also offer to reimburse you half of your kit back to you. You could start a business and only have 200.00 invested, email me for the details at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com Since Plunder decided to give an incentive to those signing up this month, I will give one for R & F too. If you signup with the 395.00 kit then I will refund you 50.00, the 695.00 kit will get you a 75.00 refund, and the 995.00 kit will get you a 100.00 refund. I have a goal of signing up one new consultant a month and I hope that is you.
Part of my 2017 goals is to grow my subscriber list on the blog. If you are not a subscriber PLEASE take the time to sign. Also, if you would like to share my posts on Facebook or Twitter, I would appreciate that. It helps get my blog out to more people, and I am sure you just want to spread the entertaining sayings I have. Lol!
The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.

Just started following you!
Love your blog & look forward to reading everyday. Can’t wait to see your response to all the questions that have been asked.
Very classy, very cute outfit! You have such great ideas about how to put outfits together. I learn something from you every day. Really enjoy reading your blog!
Just found your blog…live that you inspire to think out of the box. How is Plunder different from other jewelry party companies?
I have only been following your blog a few months, but I want you to know that you have truly inspired me to be a better person inside and out. I have never been able to dress stylishly because of my weight, but I have started this journey of eating healthy and exercising. Looking forward to being the best I can be, and having fun with style. God Bless!
Love to see what you’ll post every day! Love the Plunder jewelry!
I love this look. Really cute poncho!
Love the black booties. You look awesome!
Are there minimum orders you need to place to be considered Active with Plunder Jewelry as a consultant? I have enjoyed the Plunder Posse and wonder sometimes about sharing this with my friends, but I don’t want any major commitments.
I always love your fashion sense… it is right on every day… keep it up!! Your blog is one I look forward to each day..
I enjoy reading your blog everyday and love your outfit choices! Sarah Horn
Love your outfit!! The pom poms are fabulous!
Look forward to your blog every day. Your style is similar to mine. Thanks!!

Such a great date night look for winter. Thanks for sharing. ❤ the bling!
Love the jewelry and how affordable it is ❤️
Would love to see the poncho with denim. Also, you can never have enough bling!
Oh my…I JUST discovered you today! You’re definitely my kindred spirit 🙂 LOVE everything!
Looks so elegant! Very nice
Just now reading yesterday’s post and wanted to comment anyway. Love the stockings! You can never have too much bling. I enjoy your blog so much! Love your style and sense of humor. Love most of all that you honor God with your life and blog.
You need to come to Oklahoma and give us fashion tips. Oh what a fun day that would be!
love your blog and sense of humor
Congratulations on your blog…you are great!
I enjoy your blog and read it everyday! Love the jewelry you wear, and new ideas about what to wear! Thank you!
Such a classy look. I love the poncho with the ballies! It would look so cute with a white blouse and jeans. I enjoy all your southern sayings. They remind me of my parents who were from Oklahoma. You don’t here those in California. God Bless~Cindy
Love the cozy look. I have been following you for about a year and your posts always make my day.
Wow! Look at all the comments! Looking classy as always! Love your blog!
Hi Tania, Love, Love, Love the dress and poncho! SCORE on such a good dea! But the absolute best is the seamed pantyhose! Girl, you’ve got it going on. I love to see what your outfit is everyday. The coolest thing about you is your faith ? I’ve shared your blog with my sister which is also an R&F consultant.
Love your fashion ideas!
You are like me in that I Love a bargain, and your sweater dress and poncho were a super deal! I have a saying, I’d rather wear black than do one sit up!!
You are very generous!! You are giving away a fabulous gift and you offer discounts on our purchases, in addition to writing a blog for us everyday. Thank you!!! I absolutely love the way you dress 🙂
Love the black! Classy. Jewelry looks great with it.
You’re a brave soul to brave 11 degree weather for photos. It was about 8 degrees here this morning, and I was bundled up before I went out. Thanks for your inspirational posts, I love your style.
Love that dress & those stocking! Many Blessings!
Lots of comments today, Tania! I enjoy your fun blog every day. You are lighthearted and pick clothes that I would say most of us can afford, as well. I do love your style, and have found ideas for sources of fashion from your blog, including Chadwick’s and Maurices, to name a few. Wish I lived near those outlets you shop at, too! Lucky you! The poncho today is really fun, with the big pompoms!
Look forward to you blog every morning! Thanks for helping me be more stylish over 50!??
Karen
You look very elegant – LOVE the dress with matching poncho! So fancy!
Tania you look lovely! It’s cold here too, only 6* this morning!
I love the outfit!! You look very elegant.
Exquisite Tania ?
That dress was a steal. Don’t you just love it when you get a good buy like that? I love the tights – total surprise when you turned around. Thanks for the giveaway.
Have have recently found your blog and love it. Your styling of outfits are amazing and even though I am in my 60s still feel these styles are very relevant to me too. Now feel that I need to buy some more jewellery as I tend to wear a lot of scarves to add interest to an outfit. Wish they sold Plunder in the UK. Keep on inspiring us . Thank you .
Tania- I love your outfits and your sensational attitude. Love your blog.
Love the Georgia bracelet!
Wow! Leave a comment day is a hit! You look fantastic, as always! 🙂
Tania, that poncho finishes that outfit off perfectly.
Thanks for inspiring me every morning!
Girl, you are a champion shopper!!
Love your blog!! Has been a game changer for me!
Love the poncho! And the whole outfit too!
You inspire me! Your outfit today is so classy and chic… just like you!
I wish we were neighbors! I’d borrow it from you to wear this weekend!
I love the outfit especially the poncho with the fuzzy balls. The jewelry is gorgeous. My favorite outfit you’ve ever done! Love it!
I love your outfit!!! I love the plunder bling !! It is all just stunning !! I love Plunder and I would love that necklace … It has been on my Plunder wish list for quite sometime now!!
Look forward to reading your post daily!
Your style is awesome! Love the poncho, but especially love the necklace. Pearls are my fave! Have a similar necklace with pearls and bling. Glad that I am not the only one that wears it casually with jeans also! Thanks for starting my day with your stylish self!
What is the one R & F product you cannot live without?
Hi Tania,
Thanks for this chance to win. Your outfits and blog posts inspire me every day. In fact, after viewing your videos, I began a reorganization of my jewelry.
Hope this new year brings you much success!
Few fashion bloggers are in the “mature” category, but yours is one I truly find relatable to my life. I appreciate the fact that you style things you actually own and wear and that often you show us vintage pieces and very inexpensive items. Your fun-filled attitude is inspiring! Thank you for all you do here!
I am also confused by the R&F comment, do you get a reimbursement or incentive? Love the whole outfit!
What a glamorouds fun outfit! So enjoy your blog posts.
Of course I will leave a comment! Glad to see you have so many already. So impressed that you manage to post every day. I had to take a three week break over the holidays. Keep up the good work!

Hi Tania! I enjoy your blog!! Thanks to you, I too have new words in my vocabulary like Plunder, poncho, leggings, booties, etc. What fun!! I appreciate the inspiration!!
I LOVE that Poncho! What a fun piece to have, dress up or with jeans. I’d wear it all the time!
Tania – I am so loving this outfit – elegant with just a touch of sassy! Thank you for showing us that so many things can be worn differently with so many options! Keep the creativity flowing !
How do you order the Plunder jewelry? I love some of the pieces..Do you have to join or can just order thru you?
Hi Tania; I just found your blog a few weeks ago through Pinterest and started following you, you are the first blogger i have ever followed, but saw so much relatable info that I had to start. I love the way you pull outfits together and you always look great!
I am not 50 yet, but not far from it. Love reading your blog and copying your cute outfits!!
I recently started receiving your emails & won’t go to bed until midnight, when I receive & read yours! I really enjoy you & all you write about. Your personality comes through! Happy Blogaversary.
Enjoy your blog and find it very helpful for inspiratIon, not only fashion but also spiritual.
Keep up the good work!
So, I’m actually a little confused on your R&F Reimbursement. It says you are reimbursing half of the $395 kit so we could start a business with $200 investment. But then the next part says you are giving an incentive of $50 refund on the $395 kit. I’ve actually been debating about whether I want to join or not.
Hi Tania! Love the elegant outfit you have on today. Fancy shmancy! I haven’t commented in quite awhile, but I read your post every day! Do you have home parties to sell Plunder jewelry in order to stay with them or can you sell at your own leisure or not at all? I didn’t know if a minimum is required each month for you to have to sell in order to keep your discount. On another note, congratulations on becoming a NeNe once again! Please keep us all informed along the way. I’m very excited for all of you and maybe Emersyn will become excited too once the baby gets here! ha Have a great week!
This is one of my favorite outfits that you’ve posted. The black dress is so elegant but the pom poms bring our your fun side. You are doing a great job with the blog!
Love the outfit! Does Plunder REQUIRE parties?
Cute poncho!
Love your blog ! This whole blogging thing is new to me. You are the only person I following. I look forward every day to what you are styling and profiling ! I believe you are a very smart business woman and don’t mind the plugs for your two businesses ! In fact it makes me think I should be doing something fun like Plunder ! Hmmmmm
Hope my first comment to your blog is today’s winner !
Tina Peeden
Love you and your blog!!
I look forward to your blog every day! Please keep up the great work! Love your simple, elegant outfit too.
Hey Tania, Happy Blogaversary! I’m going to have to find the closest Belk to me. We haven’t had one in San Antonio, but I think there might be one in the suburbs
I’m enjoying my Plunder journey with you! You are a excellent leader! And, I just ordered the Lindsay necklace for myself a couple of days ago. Can’t wait to wear it
Thanks again! Patti Karshis
Really enjoy reading your blog – your sunny personality shines through. I love the poncho and dress ensemble. I have a light-weight dressier poncho that I will pair with a sheath dress and booties and see how it rocks.
I love your blog. It ups my confidence level every time I read your blog. Keep inspiring we 50+ ladies who still want to look great.
Hi! Happy New Year! I love your blog and look forward to seeing it each day. I have been following you for a few months or so. I enjoy all the tips and the different looks you have…. of course your cute figure makes everything look lovely! Keep up all the good work, and good luck with your businesses. Love Plunder jewelry!
I love, love, love that poncho and I think I NEED that necklace! You look beautiful, as always!
I have been reading your blog for a year . You are a very beautiful lady who has helped women see that we can still look great at any age. Your blog is the first thing I read every day ❤
Ha!! I got a couple of those Nina Leonard knit dresses with the poncho on sale, also (specifically 3 of them!) In a store called Peebles, also part of the Beall’s chain. Mine were on clearance for also a steal because I got another 50% off the ticketed clearance price. I wear one of the ponchos from one of them frequently and always get compliments on it!
And happy blog-iversary! I just found your blog a couple weeks ago, but LOVE reading daily and LOVE the way you show real women that style doesn’t have to cost a fortune!
Look forward to reading your blog everyday. It comes through about 10 pm. Love your outfits but it’s the accessories that make it all pop.
I read your blog every day and always enjoy them. This outfit is the best so far….love it! I am retiring in October and I’m searching for something part time to have extra income and hopefully something I will enjoy doing. Although I am not a great salesperson and do not like the “party” part of home based sales, I do LOVE jewelry.
Just wondered how both your businesses work?
What a beautiful, classy outfit, Tania! I love the pom poms, and the hose! You look gorgeous & I hope Joe finds a place to take you soon where you can wear this! Happy Monday!
Hi Tania, just found your blog and I love it.
Don’t know how I missed it for 2 years. Look forward to all of your posts!!
Just recently discovered your blog and I LOVE your style!!! Love your Sunday posts as well! I had never seen or heard of Plunder before your blog. Their pieces are beautiful and so me! I would love to know more about the opportunity. What are the monthly minimums? Is there a discount on additional pieces after purchasing your kit?
Gorgeous dress, Tania. You always look fantastic!
Tania Denise you crack me up almost daily! ? Love the whole outfit today ?
Love this look!
I look forward to reading your post everyday. You’ve helped turn a frump into a fashionista lol
I’m new to your blog and am loving it!
Tania, The dress is a winner. I look forward to your post each day and I appreciate the price points you feature. And I LOVE Plunder. If only I could score the bargains you do LOL.
Tania, I love reading your blogs every day. I feel like you are part of my family and I love your style!!
Love today’s “ensemble.” Classic/elegant!
I love the poncho! It adds to the dress but yes, I could see it with jeans too. I’ve been looking for something like it for months!
Hi Tania: Just fell onto your blog through Pinterest within the last couple days and started to follow. I’m from Ontario, Canada and shopping sometimes can be interesting. 😀 You are a beautiful lady outside and in (which we all know is the most important of all). Love your tastes and combinations. And I LOVE those seams!
PS: Do you have your own separate room to organize accessories?
Tania, you look ELEGANT as ever! Did you know that it’s National Pick Melesa Day???
In all seriousness, you do look lovely and yes, that poncho would look super cute with a pair of boot cut jeans and a button up blouse! I have the Plunder leather cuff with PRAY on it….*LOVE*
Happy Blogaversary!!! You are my go-to everyday, after the Bible and Fox News, 50 is not old is right in line!
You look gorgeous in that dress! I love it!!
Really enjoy your honesty and down home charm ! Keep it up learn something
Everyday
Wow love the outfit especially the pom poms.also love the seams on the stockings.
My cats would never leave me alone if I was wearing the Pom Pom poncho! Love it! Your blog is inspiring in many ways…I get outfit ideas and your blog posts are often a hoot to read! I appreciate your “down to earth” personality! Thanks, Tania!
Love the outfit!
Thank you!
Oh Tania, I love this outfit! It is so something I would wear including the jewelry! You always look great. Thank you!
Love the poncho!!
I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts since stumbling on it through Pinterest. I love the link ups to similar looking items – I’ve bought several items because of them!
Another Home Run!
You look just beautiful!
Hi Tania. I read your blog everyday and enjoy your vitality! You always try to find the best in people. I love that you are willing to raise the bar in your life and take risks. I enjoy your variety in fashion. I’m a petite lady and unable to wear some of your pieces. I do like how you experiment with color and texture. Most of all I love that you share your faith in the Lord!
Nice outfit, Tania! Very classy!
Looking very elegant in your dress and poncho.
What if you just want to use the skin care products and not go into business?
Good Morning! I’ve been reading your blog for a while not. I don’t usually leave comments, but just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to each new post! Keep it up!
I love the poncho over the dress. I’ve gotten out of the habit of wearing a dress, but you’re inspiring me to try again. Thanks.
I enjoy your blog. I look forward to your outfits each day.
Love this outfit! You look really put-together for an evening on the town!
love the fur accents!
I love your blog and look forward to it each day. The outfit you have on today is so elegant, love the pncho.
Wow, that dress and poncho outfit really was a steal of a deal ! Looks really nice too.
I love your dress and poncho, very elegant …but not over the top! I love sweater dresses in the winter. I rarely comment, but I read your blog EVERYDAY!! You always make me smile!! Congrats on your new grand baby! We are expecting grand baby #3 in May…a boy!! We are so excited!! Have a blessed day!
I love everything you wear and write. I consider myself ‘fashionable’ for my age. I still ‘stumble’ over wearing a bootie with a dress/skirt. Regardless of how shapely the legs/body, etc. are…..it just cuts off the leg at a point that doesn’t seem attractive to me. Just my opinion, of course, and I realize I am in the minority.
I love your blog….and your outfits! Happy New Year!
Love the look! I wear so much black or dark colors. I have started to incorporate more color after reading your blog daily. Thanks and have a blessed day!
Love your pompom poncho!
hen you sign up for the Plunder kit, how many pieces do you get you can actually show at a party? I realize you get catalogues, but I think showing the jewelry is so much more effective. Been pondering the plunder offer for a while now. . .
I love love this dress.
Love this outfit on you! Poncho would be fun with jeans. You have certainly made me rethink my wardrobe. Thanks for all the help. Have a great day!
Hi — I’m a new subscriber to your blog — and I love your style! I have closets full of clothes and a room full of jewelry — and you have given me some fresh ideas. Been a while since I saw someone rock seamed stockings but they absolutely work with the clean lines of that black outfit! Thanks!
Love the seamed nylons, the pom poms on the poncho, and all the Plunder! Going to have to buy that Donita bracelet!
I love reading your daily blog, happy anniversary! Just curious what is your exercise routine, you look great.
Love the outfit!!! Would like to know more about the company Rodan and Fields. Need an aging skin regiment!!
You are amazing! Posting every day is quite a challenge….but I do love to see your fashion treasures and fun commentary. Thanks for “suffering” through the cold to show us your show stopping look today. Love that dress and poncho — a real steal!
Such a pretty look, Tania! I love your blog and am glad I found it!
Beautiful as always! I love that your options are affordable.
Since I’m not really fond of black this outfit isn’t my fav but is dressy and classy. I do like the poncho. You look great as always and that necklace is fabulous.
Love the Plunder jewelry. Our market is saturated here. Could you just do a “party” land earn pieces?
I almost got that dress last year ut it wasn’t on sale. Wish I had anyway! Enjoy your posts!!
I am on the west coast of Canada and I enjoy your daily email! You are a down to earth person, love that about your blog. How much do you have to sell each month of the R&F to stay as a consultant?
Love the Pom Pom poncho!
Love the Plunder jewelry but our market is saturated with other dealers. Can you just do a “party” order and earn pieces through a distributer?
Follow you on Facebook and I almost got that dress last year but it wasn’t marked down!
Love the look! I just can’t see you standing outside that long, as cold as it was!!! I know you ran back inside to the fire! Looking good Gurl!!!!
Love the poncho! It gives the outfit some attitude.
Tania, I love this outfit! The dress is so pretty, and the pompoms on the poncho are so cute! Have a great day!!
Hi Tania! I love your blog and have been following it for a year or so. I love seeing each day what outfit you are wearing! However, since you want us to leave comments, there is one thing that I hope that you consider. You have been promoting Plunder and Roden and Fields in every one of your blog posts. In the beginning it was fine but I think that you should reconsider promoting this in every single blogpost. I find it to be very distracting. I really like reading your posts, but I find it very distracting to have to read the same thing. I follow many other blogs and while they also are reps for other companies, they do not promote everyday about it. Just a thought.
Amen! I had to unsubscribe because it’s just pushing Plunder and RF! Sorry, but enough!
Cute outfit – I’d love the poncho with a white shirt/blouse and jeans, too! Press on, mighty blogger!
I love this outfit and love reading your posts!
Stunning!
Love it! The shoes look great with that outfit! Just started following you and so far love what you have to offer!
Love your outfit and you!
Love the poncho with Pom poms!
I received my first ever Plunder item- the Mason earrings and I am a fan! I’d love a shopping spree with Plunder. Please tell Siri to choose me! You look great in the elegant black!
I Love all your daily blogs- This is by far one of the classiest and fashionable posts. Very Chanelly is that a word?? It should be!!! Keep it up my friend
Love the whole outfit (especially the hose).
Stunning outfit and you look great in it! Always enjoy reading you blog. I have a question about R&F. Do you think that they will ever offer their products on a payment plan like a lot of the other more expensive brands do? Like deducted payments on a draft. This would certainly help in purchasing their products. Hope you have a blessed day!
You always find the best bargains! The look is definitely NOT a bargain look! You look great!
Oh, boy, Tania, I’m nr 109 to leave a comment – that is a LOT of comments and the post hasn’t been up that long – you are going to end up with an overflown inbox, my friend, but surely you are going to enjoy reading each and every single comment, hey – you might be up the whole night to get to everyone!!!!! – have fun and enjoy!!!!
Being in SA it is of cause not possible for me to join either Plunger of R a F, but I would love to comment on the fabulous outfit you are wearing today!!!! This is absolutely my style of outfit – you look super smart and so stylish!!!! Boy, I love those pantihose with the seams – reminds me of the eighties when they were high fashion over here, as well as pantihose with all sorts of cute little butterflies or bows of birds or anykind of cute little swirl on them – they used to sit just above the ankle and looked so smart!!!!! And remember the days when we used to wear pantihose the same colour as your dress – oh boy – all the colours of the rainbow – and shoes in the same colour – today we can look back and just smile, hey!!!!! I just LOVE all black outfits and when I go and buy something new it’s always the back stuff that grabs my attention first – but I have decided that I’m going to try and move away from so much black and rather go for more colourful items!!! And, WOW, that is one stunning poncho – LOVE those pom poms – stylish with the black and for sure going to be such fun worn with a pair of jeans!!!!!! And the dress is just wonderful – the tapering towards the seam and the length is just perfect!!!!! And your jewelry is always just out of this world!!!! I love jewelry that makes a statement and compliments whatever you are wearing!!!!! You can so easily dress up any outfit with the correct piece of jewelry!!!! You are really looking fabulous!!!!! Going back to have another look!!!!
Will leave you with that for the moment, Tania!!!! I’m going to send you an e-mail as soon as I have the time to type it up – very busy at the moment with the boys returning to school on Wednesday and being far behind on blogvisits and e-mails, but I’ll pop in shortly!!!!!
Keep well!!!!!
Hugz
This outfit is stunning. I have been searching for a sweater dress but they are all very fitted. I’m 45 and just can’t wear that type. I love your elegant style. Can you provide information about Plunder, particularly for those of us in Canada? Thanks!
I love the variety that you wear and show on your blot. It gives me a lot of ideas for dressing for the different jobs/events in my life. Thank you for writing this blog (you’re sweet and funny and caring).
Love your blog and your style! It’s hard to find clothing that’s not too young or frumpy looking, so thank you for helping me with your great ideas!
Again, love your outfit. The dress and poncho are darling!! About R&F- What are the minimum order requirements, how many orders must be placed to remain active and what is the commission or better yet what discount do you receive for being a consultant? And as far as Plunder, I am not a jewelry person but would love to figure out how to make myself be more comfortable wearing necklaces and bracelets! You are so down to earth I wish I could be one of your best friends.
Enjoy your blog every morning with my coffee.
I love this look. I never wear dresses but this look makes me want to shop for dresses!
Good Morning! I look forward to your posts and appreciate you sharing your life with us. My Rodan Fields box should arrive this week-I hope my results are as noticeable as yours. I’d love to visit the outlet stores in your area sometime.
Keep up the good work!
I love your style and enjoy your blog every day. Since I started reading it, I’ve gotten lots of ideas to up my own style game, I’ve discovered Old Navy Pixie pants and also subscribed to Plunder Posse. Thank you for what you do!
Love to read your blog each morning. I have a question on Rodan. What if I buy it and then find out I am allergic to it? Mary Kay is the only foundation I have found that does not break me out. I have spent a lot of money for products I was not able to use. Thanks for all the fashion advise. I am also wondering on the necklaces from Plunder. Are they heavy?
Because if you I am hooked on plunder jewelry. Look forward to reading your blog every morning
I looooove your blog. I pin a lot of your outfits to my style board. And your stories are great!
Well you sure know how to get a lot of comments. LOL! Beautiful outfit Tania.

I don’t comment often, in fact, maybe only one other time, but I LOVE your blog! Even my mother has said, “that woman sure has helped your style!” LOL! I’ve been a subscriber since late last summer and cannot shop or even get dressed now without thinking, “Would Tania wear this?” Thank you so much for helping this “NOT OLD” gurl to make better style decisions!
Great outfit. Love everything you wear.
Love the classy look with the black, silver and pearls. GORGEOUS! Love the Plunder jewelry…must get myself some of those lovely pieces. I look forward to reading you log everyday. Happy Anniversary?
God bless you today and always Tania, your blog is so fun, inspirational and informative. Still considering signing up with Plunder but wondering about the time commitment? THanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
Didn’t think knit could be that dressy but you
look marvelous. As I get older, my fear when I go
out is…’will I be cold’. Makes me sound like a dinosaur. Warmth then style. The poncho is great for those chilly restaurants.
Love Plunder Designs. Had my daughters take a look and they loved it too. I asked if it was too young for me and they said ‘no’.
New Year, new me….YOLO.
I love seeing your daily posts and look forward to seeing your outfit of the day! The poncho is amazing and I think it would look fabulous with jeans and some cute boots.
Happy Anniversary Tania! You look beautiful in all black…so classy and elegant! I really enjoy reading your bl
og everyday….keep it up!!
Love this look!
I have seamed hose as well that but only have the courage to wear them to special events. I love your style and wish I had your confidence!!
Happy Anniversary! I’m tempted to try the R&F eyelash growing stuff!!

Oh Wow!!!!! Love the black dress/poncho combo! And the bling!! ? love it!!!!

Always look forward o reading your blog \. Beautiful outfit,
Very elegant.
Lovely outfit and beautiful bling! I read your blog every morning with my coffee .
I love the way you style clothes that are very affordable. I love that you mix and match brands. It’s nice to see good styles for older women. I am 61 and recently lost over 35 pounds so I enjoy looking at new styles and trends that you present. Thank you so much and I love the jewelry. Could you please do a blog explaining all the benefits and some of the Rodan and Fields products. Thanks for doing what you do.
I am a bargain shopper as well, I enjoy your blog. You inspire me to put outfits together at 50 like I did in my 20’s and 30’s. Thanks
Love the outfit. Cute hose. I love the Plunder jewelry.
I work from home and don’t have to go out much during the week. I always feel like such a frump. I’d love to see you style some outfits for people like me. 🙂
Love the whole outfit and jewelry!
Morning Tania 🙂
Your blog is the first thing I read in the morning. You’re such an inspiration. And love love your Sunday blogs. The Lord has certainly blessed you! Thank you for stepping out everyday with your fashion tips and lively posts! Love your pom-pom poncho today.
Sally
Love the whole outfit especially the Pom poms. I wanted to know what are the requirements for plunder once you order the kit. Is there a certain amount of jewelry you have to sale each month?
Your blog is one of my favorites! I love your style, sense of humor but especially your devotions.
IALWAYS click on your blog to check out your outfits! You look mah-ve-lous!
Love reading your blog daily. Happy blogaversary!
I love ponchos

You look fabulous as always. So excited every morning to see your blog.
Happy Blogaversary! Sweet poncho! Love , love the necklace with your outfit, it really makes you sparkle!
I adore your blog!!! Happy New Year!
Gorgeous outfit! How does Plunder work? Are there monthly sale requirements? Parties? I love reading your blog each morning. Thanks for sharing your fashion ideas!
Hi I love the pom pom poncho! Still interested in doing Plunder not sure how to get started.
Love the pom poms!
Happy Blogaversary!
What a deal on that dress and poncho! love it!
Love the poncho! Does Plunder have any spiritual mottos?
New to your blog, so glad I found it! Love your style and Lord knows I need some. You are inspiring! Thank you!
Love the outfit, but the stockings steal the show! (For me at least!) I can tell that you’re cold in the bracelet shot – perhaps you should set up a studio inside?!
Just ordered my first Rodan + Feilds regimen, can’t wait to look as fabulous as you! Happy Blogversary!!
Great outfit!!!!
Jaymie
Love the outfit! You look gorgeous! And what a deal on the dress!
I enjoy your blog & your fashion sense!! I also appreciate that you shop as so may of us do- on a budget!
Happy Monday,
Melanie
In honour of National Leave a Comment Day ….. I will agree with many and say I love the pompoms and the tights! Always a joy to read your blog in the morning before I have to start my day!
Love the dress and poncho !!! I love the earrings. I have my moms vintage ones that look similar and love to wear them when I get dressed up. Love your blog.
Your style is exactly how I love to dress. You look beautiful in every picture. Thank you for your time and efforts. All the best in 2017! ??
It is very liberating and inspiring to see a beautiful woman, brave enough and willing enough to share her journey with a group of what my teenagers would describe as ‘fandoms’.
I ❤️ the blog!
Love all your posts. Would love to see a post on how you organize your closet and accessories. Thanks!
Hi Maria, Tania has a couple of YouTube videos that show us around her closets 🙂
You look wonderful as always. Love the look!
I just recently found your blog. You always look beautiful and seem to do it on a realistic budget. As a teacher, I appreciate the doable inspiration!
I’d love to have that outfit for a ‘thing’ I’m going to this month. I think my favorite element is that necklace. I agree it would be great with some denim. Happy 2017!
Wow! Love how elegant you look. I’ll give you a heads up. Belk is loaded with deals again. I work there and because of the unseasonable winter we have had we are loaded with clearance now. Wish you were in Savannah you could come check us out here! Love the all black. You remind me of the some of the film stars of the 30s and 40s. Wasn’t born then but love to see the clothes and make up in the older movies! Your blog is a joy each morning!
You handled the cold well. I LOVE , LOVE, LOVE this outfit ! Every aspect is perfect .
Love to bargain shop. Happy Blogaversary!
There is a day for everything, so “Nt’l leave a comment on my blog day” sounds good to me ☺
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! Your are my money necessity with coffee. Have a blessed day!
The poncho is fabulous!
I love your outfit! The jewelry is great!
Love the bargain racks at Belks. Love shopping for bargains period, your blog is not only about fashion, but entertaining. Happy blogaversary!
You look so beautiful, classy. I love this complete outfit. The pom poms are so cute on this poncho. The jewelry is beautiful also. You just look so pretty.
Good morning,
It has been cold in Canada. With -30 C and a few feet of snow I would not be standing outside with shoes on ?. Your outfit looks lovely. I look forward to your morning fashion inspiration.
I am curious if Plunder ships to Canada and what the sign up and minimum monthly costs would be?
Also, is R&F good for skin with Rosasea?
Have a wonderful day!
I am also a Cathy from Canada, wondering the same thing about Plunder.
Thank you Tania for the inspiring blog, it motivates me every morning to dress up instead of yoga pants and T shirt even when I do not go out.
Your smile in the photos is infectious.
How you store your jewelry is very much of interest to me.
Thanks
I think Tania needs to come up to Canada for a visit. Especially since she thinks that’s freezing LOL.
Seriously though, Tania you always score such amazing deals. I think it’s harder to find those kind of deals up here. For example Melanie Lynn is closing its store at the mall near I work. They still have items at full price. Lunch bag letdown.
Tania it looks like I can’t comment again so I am replying to myself.
So we’ve brought you over to the dark side LOL. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in all black. Gorgeous.
Question about the poncho itself. It’s hard to see the style with black on black. Does it pull over your head? What is the cut? Where are the Pom Poms attached?
Happy blogversary!! I have been with you almost from the beginning –just a few months shy. I love your style! I cannot start my day without you!! Ha!
I really look forward to your Sunday posts. You always seem to say something I need to hear.
Well shoot! I was hoping the poncho was separate to link to! Love all of it but the poncho is awesome! Love the entire look today!
Hi Tania! I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada and love your blog. I have saved most of your pictures to my phone so I can reference them while shopping. I’m looking at getting a US address so I can shop at the links you provide ?! I think Plunder will be my new passion.
I love, love, love that now anytime I search in Pinterest, for anything related to women in their 50’s, awesome pics of you come up all through the feed! You’ve only been blogging for a short time and yet you are trending and making a mark on cyberspace and so, so many lives. Yeah!
This is my first the me responding, even though I have been following your blog for a couple of months now! I love how you are just one of the ” gurls”! I love fashion and jewelry as much as you do and I get some great ideas on how to put outfits together! Thanks for putting this blog together and sharing your life with us. The Sunday motivational are some of my favorite!
Every morning I wake up and before I get out of bed I grab my iPad and read your blog! Thank you for starting my day out on the right foot! How much to do have to sell a month to stay with Plunder?
I get so many new ideas on putting my clothes together from you. Keep up the good work. And just for the record, I always live your Sunday posts!
Now I want some pom-poms!
You always inspire me with your fun and accessorized outfits!
I for one would love to know how you store all your jewelry Its so fun and kinda like art, it should be displayed to look at daily even when its not on duty!
Your blog is the absolute best! Love your style and fashion sense❣
Those pom poms on the poncho are fantastic! What an elegant outfit — you look beautiful!
Lovely outfit as usual and what a great bargain! That is the way I love to shop… I started following your blog in 2015 and have really enjoyed it each day! ?
Just started following your blog. Thanks, for showing us women over 50 of how to look stylish.
I’m new to your blog but so far I’ve learned a lot. Not sure how Plunder works but I’ve liked just about all your jewelry. I don’t wear much that sparkles as 75% of my day is spent in a garden or in the woods cutting down or planting trees (you had me at lumberyard?).
You always look flawless! I want to go shopping with you!
What a great bargain look! You are certainly a good shopper! How does the R&F compare with Mary Kay, do you think?
Cute!!!! After joining for $99, what it the minimum purchase per month or monthly fee for Plunder?
Gorgeous! I love following you! You’re sense of style is fun and unique! Your tips and suggestions have helped me update my style! Cheers to another blogging year!
I ADORE that necklace! I bought the same one a while back because of a pic you had w/it! 🙂 I just wish Plunder had some good options for cute lanyards, since I have to wear one w/my ID badge at work. I keep breaking all the cute ones I buy elsewhere, they don’t hold up. Rarely comment, but read the blog every day and love it…. Because I’m 50, not dead! That’s my mantra thanks to you and your blog! 🙂
Thanks for all the help, I’m more aware of my daily outfits when I’m shopping.
Love that outfit – the poncho is so cute with those pom poms!
Happy Blogversary! Nice outfit, not sure I could pull off the pom poms though. Have a great day!
Love the poncho and you are right, it would be so cute with jeans!
Classy Lassy! Love your blog! Happy, clean and uplifting! Love your style!
Such a cute outfit. You look terrific. I really enjoy your blog????
A very elegant outfit with a twist of sexiness thrown in with the addition of seamed stockings ….. sassy!
Happy Anniversary! I enjoy reading your blog every morning! Elegant outfit!
Morning, Chicka! Love, love love the black dress and the pom poms add the wow factor. The Punder jewelry is always gorgeous! I was all about the accessories-the bigger the better until I fractured a vertebrae in my neck. Now, I have some pretty severe damage to my neck/cervical area. I can’t wear any necklace with weight. Most of the necklaces appear very heavy. I would love the gift certificate so I can try some of the necklaces. I was just starting to use R&F when the artillery shell came through the window causing a chemical burn on my skin. Working back to trying it again, soon, Thank you for all you do!
Love your whole outfit, but the poncho is a standout. Happy blogaversary!
Love the pom poms on the poncho, great outfit once again! I was hoping we would get a FEW flurries, I live near Savannah GA., but nothing, I guess that’s a good thing.
.
I look forward to reading your blog first thing in the morning. You are so witty and I love your outfits. Thank you for making time each day for your blog.
I look forward to reading your blog every day! The outfits you wear are so Pretty on you and they give me such great ideas for what to wear! I would love to see a picture of your closet and where you keep your shoes and purses. Also, where and how you organize your jewelry. I hope you will share that one day! 🙂 Thank you for your blog and all the inspiration you bring!
Love the outfit and the accessories! I look forward to reading your blog everyday.
Love the Pom-poms ?
You had me going at the beginning of your post. Black is always classy. We got 8″ of snow this weekend and you are brave to be taking pics in the cold. ~Lisa~
Happy blogaversary Tania beautiful outfit and as my mother used to say to me when I was going out in the cold without a jacket because I wanted to show off an outfit”beauty knows no pain”? have a good day ?
A beautiful outfit. My friend and I always call all black outfits, funeral outfits. We both wear a lot of black! Black is very slimming. Thanks.
Loving this all black look Tania – the poncho is adorable as are your tights!!!

Beautiful as always! Love getting my daily email.
You look lovely as usual and I think the poncho would look great with jeans. And I with you on having the bases covered with some pieces of bling and sparkle if I have a need to dress up. Thanks for sharing your style inspirations.

A perfect look! Love!❤️️
Everything you style looks so fresh and fun. Thanks for all you do!
Very elegant Tania.
Hi Tania,
I love the pom poms on your poncho, seamed stockings and your classy accessories.
You look glamorous, enjoy yourself.
Cheers, Tracey
Great look, very classy!! Love your style.
I love the necklace. I have debated and debated about asking about Plunder. I looked at the website. loved all the jewelry, Earring, bracelets, necklaces…oh my! How does it work? Is it a home party kind of thing? I am recently retired and would like to find something part time to keep me busy and supplement my income (and my shoe buying addiction).
Fabulous outfit!! My favorite so far! I need to find a poncho like yours! Your accessories are perfect with the outfit and how fun are those hose!
You look fabulous!!!! I love your booties…and I WANT that poncho! Soooo cute!!!
Such a pretty outfit on you! And I love your jewelry’s sparkly touch. Your blog is so fun to read. I’m glad I found you. ?
II love the poncho
A beautiful and elegant look, Tania!
Super poncho and wow that bling!
That dress!!! You look adorable as always. Love your blog
Beautiful outfit – love all your posts – hope Siri chooses #1
Love all the bling, especially against the black. Simple and classy. Look forward to reading your blog every morning
I’ve truly enjoyed reading your blog since I stumbled upon it. I never thought there would be hope for a gal like me. over 40 with no fashion sense. You have such great style, and you wear everything so well! I love the mix of traditional with more modern pieces. and I LOVE your hair!!!! Hope your day is great!
