SOMETIMES YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED
Woohoo!!! The 2nd shot is in the books, and so far, I am feeling fine! I’ve been sitting in a recliner listening to the Rolling Stones’ top songs, and could it get any better than that? I forgot so many of their songs and was shocked at how many great ones they had. Joe and I sometimes tell each other, “you can’t always get what you what, but if you try real hard, you get what you need.”
Actually, I think that mine and Joe’s version is more like you get what you deserve. Lol! Do you gurls remember me telling you that I had recently gotten on a telemarketer call list, and they think my name is William Blevins? It is ridiculous how many calls that I get each day asking for William Blevins. I’ve answered the calls, ignored the calls, and nothing seems to work.
Finally, I just started blocking the numbers of every call that comes in that I don’t recognize. However, yesterday I saw a call come in from a number that I didn’t recognize, and I almost declined the call, but I decided to answer the call instead. The lady on the other end asked for Tania Stephens. Then she explained that she was in the accounting department for a company that I recently did a sponsored post with and wanted to confirm my payment information. Lol!
That dang William Blevins is costing me my sanity with telemarketer calls, and he almost cost me money also. Lol! Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get these calls to stop? They don’t come from the same phone number or city, so I am slowly going crazy!
I wore this Rolling Stones sweatshirt to get my shot yesterday. After my shot at my local Food City in the pharmacy, I decided to grab a Gatorade to stay hydrated. The store manager asked me if I even knew who the Rolling Stones were? I told him that the Stones were from my generation of music and that HE was the one who probably didn’t know who they were since he was in his 30s. Lol!
I have to admit, this is the most that I have ever paid for a sweatshirt, but I am truly obsessed with this shirt. It is so comfy, and it feels like I’ve had this sweatshirt for years. It is a vintage black shirt with a bright red logo that already has some distressing. The fit of the shirt is relaxed and oversized, I am wearing a medium, and it is still really oversized, which is the look that I wanted.
This is a shirt that I will grab repeatedly, and I think it will be perfect for the nights when we sit out on the patio around a fire pit. In my head, I see wearing this at the lake, roasting marshmallows, or visiting friends and sitting outdoors. As you can see, I have big plans for this shirt. The shirt also comes in white and blush, but I am partial to the vintage black.
I thought you might like to see the back of the shirt, which has the 1989 North American Tour schedule. I was very pregnant in 1989, so you wouldn’t have found me at any of those concerts. Lol!
Here is another way that I plan on wearing the sweatshirt. When I purchased the shirt several weeks ago, I knew that white jeans would be one way to wear the shirt. It is amazing to see how different the outfit looks by just changing the color of the jeans.
I also changed my shoes and put on a pair of espadrilles with black toes for this look. The espadrilles are more ivory than white, but they still looked great with the pants. I am wearing my usual size 9 in these shoes, and they fit great. The shoes are under $30.00, and these will be something that you can wear all spring and summer long.
The Joe’s Jeans that I am wearing today are in a darker wash, and they have a raw hem. These are the Luna jean, and they are cigarette jeans. That means that they aren’t exactly skinny jeans, but they aren’t straight leg either. They are more skinny than straight, but they also have a loose fit. These are a great combination of skinny and loose. I am wearing a size 31 in the jeans since I know that I have to go up one size when I wear Joe’s Jeans. Here are some other jeans that are in a more affordable price range.
I didn’t get a great photo of the white sneakers that I am wearing, but I’ll try to upload a photo from the website so that you can see them better. These are by Superga, and I love the simple style of these sneakers. I had read that they were a favorite of Meghan Markle, which I have no idea if that is true or not. But, it intrigued me enough to give them a try.
I really like these sneakers, but I am going to send them back for a smaller size. I ordered my usual size 9 (40 UK), and they are a half-size too big. They are a great price, though, so if you are looking for a great pair of sneakers, you should give them a try.
I am wearing a pair of Vince Camuto white skinny jeans, and this is a great pair that isn’t too thin. That is what I hate about white jeans; you have to be careful about having the pockets shine though or having your underwear on display. There is nothing worse than having someone say, “so…we are wearing polka-dotted underwear today.” Ok, I was wrong; there is something worse; they could say, “so…you’re NOT wearing any underwear today.” Lol!
The website recommended sizing down in these jeans, but I ordered my usual size. When I buy white jeans, I don’t want them fitting me skin-tight, so ordering my usual size 30 worked out great. They fit great, but they aren’t too tight. These have a 30″ inseam, and I rolled them up today to show more ankle.
You might have noticed the watermark on some of my photos. I’ve had so many people steal my photos and create spam accounts that I thought I would experiment with a logo on my photos. But, do you think that they are too big or distracting?

The watermark is barely noticeable. When I get calls now-if I don’t recognize the name or number I don’t answer. Nowadays-those people are so sophisticated that they can use a number in your area to fool you. I figure if the call is for me, the person will leave a message. I haven’t missed any important calls yet. My daughter was born in 1989, so I was pregnant then as well. I like the sweatshirt. The casual look is my style. Just that particular one is too pricey for me. Glad to hear you have gotten your 2nd dose of the vaccine.
Here’s what I did when someone kept phoning me asking for Al. I said, just a minute, I’ll get him. Then I just left the phone off the hook for a long time. They never phoned again!
Love the watermark – very pro! I wish I had a fraction of your clothing budget, but I love to see the looks since I am from the RS generation myself! Glad you got your 2nd shot and hope your side effects were small!
I look forward to your positive attitude. It just makes my day and reminds me to be kind.
