50 IS NOT OLD | SPREADING YOURSELF THINHave you ever had one of those days when you feel like a pat of butter on a piece of toast? That is how I am feeling right now. I am being “spread thin.” Don’t get me wrong, I know that it is all my fault, but I am still feeling pretty stressed. 50 IS NOT OLD | SPREADING YOURSELF THINMy morning devotional time is not up for negotiations, that time is etched in stone. It is from there onward that I need some help. I try to answer some comments that have already been made (thank you for leaving them) when I get up. I upload my picture to Pinterest, and then head to FaceBook. I answer the comments there, and then take the dogs out to potty. When I get back, I upload my pictures to my iphoto and start the editing process. Once they are finished, I transfer then to wordpress to start on my blog post for the next day. I work on the post till it is time to start getting ready to go to work (my real job). After I get to work, I am not able to look at the comments until I go to the bank and post office. While I wait in line at the bank, I get out my phone and upload a picture to Instagram, and then answer comments if I have time.50 IS NOT OLD | SPREADING YOURSELF THIN

When the day is over, I head home and change clothes for an afternoon of golf with Joe. (rain, rain, go away) It is usually 8:30 at best by the time we get back home. Then it is time to fix something light for supper, and finish the blog post for the next day. Add in the fact that I am trying to work on my workshop and a sandwich board (a commercial for my workshop), now you can see how I might be a little stressed. You would think that you would sleep good when you are tired, but not! Instead all the little details that still need to be done are running through my mind, and now you have one worn out little puppy.50 IS NOT OLD | SPREADING YOURSELF THINI almost didn’t use this set of pictures for the blog. There is nothing wrong with the outfit, I just don’t look the best. Then I remembered that this is a blog about clothing, not a blog about my looks, so here they are. Most of the time my pictures are made right before I head out the door for work, so I generally look alright. However, there are times when that is not the case. Today’s picture were made after I went to church one Sunday. You would think that there wouldn’t be a problem with that, I should look good for going to church. BUT, did I mention that I came home from church and laid down for a two hour nap. Now you know the rest of the story. Hahaha50 IS NOT OLD | SPREADING YOURSELF THINLet’s start with the jewelry. I have worn all these pieces before, so I did not take up close photos. The necklace I have on is the Felice and I also have on the matching bracelet called the Faye. The earrings are some that came in my signup kit. The last two pieces I have one, are the Bonny bracelet and the Eunice bracelet. I have an August contest running with Plunder. EVERYONE who places an order from Plunder through me in the month of August, will be entered in for a $25.00 Plunder gift certificate. You can buy a bracelet, and you will be entered into the contest. To shop with me, here is the website: http://www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens  Try copying and pasting this in the address line, and hopefully it will work.

Several of you ladies have already taken me up on this offer. Good Luck!50 IS NOT OLD | SPREADING YOURSELF THINThis top reminds me of a mosaic tile design that you would see on a tabletop. I love the colors in the top, they are some of my favorite colors. Turquoise, gray, orange, cobalt, white, and yellow are all colors in this top. The straps on this top are extremely wide, and in looking at the pictures, if they had been a little thinner it might have been more flattering. This made my shoulders look really wide.

50 IS NOT OLD | SPREADING YOURSELF THINThe mustard pants are by Banana Republic. And I have worn these several times this year. Here is where I wore them with cobalt blue. This color of yellow will be easy to wear all the way into winter. This, spicy mustard, is one of the colors of the fall, according to Pantone. Wearing a color that is popular, but is not “your” color, is easy to do by putting them in a pant, short, or skirt. These are clothing items that will not be around your face.

50 IS NOT OLD | SPREADING YOURSELF THINI have on a pair of Marc Fisher wedge sandals with gold ring details. I wear these shoes pretty often because they will match almost anything. Here is the same shoe design, but in a flat sandal. The blue tote was chosen to bring out the blue shade in the top.

  1. I’m 57 and have really loved seeing your posts. You are so stylish and I wish I had your courage & knack of dressing & accessorizing! I notice that a lot of bloggers with tons of followers do not answer every post & maybe that is what you’ll have to resort to? Also, how about cutting back your hours on your “real” job! HA!

  2. Tania, one of the readers, “Toni”, admitted something that might not occur to you: your readers are busy and something scroll hurriedly through your daily Blog. Let that thought sink in a bit, over the course of a day or two….”Taking a break” here and there might not be a solution, but finding a more workable Blog schedule might be: 3 days per week? Entirely reasonable. Continuous stress causes adrenals to over-function and deplete, leading to illness. I have a friend who has what I call “terminal busyness”, in that she rushes from place to place, overbooks herself, and has ‘To Do’ lists running through her head a night…..She also had a mild heart attack last year (She’s about your age) and has had to rethink her constant state of hurriedness…….

  3. You need to take a day or 2 off during the week gurl! I do love your blog, but sometimes find myself scrolling through quickly because I don’t have the time to read everything! We can catch up on the days you don’t post!

  4. Jackie Davis says:

    You always look beautiful! Don’t stress yourself, do like the othersong say and take a break.

  5. Wow!
    I’m tired reading all that!
    Take a sabbath!
    I always hv to tell myself What am I
    Responsible for ?
    Love your blog!

  6. Hi there! I have enjoyed your blog and love your outfits. I think Pauline’s advice about taking a weekend blog break is a good and we would totally understand. I have to share that a couple of years ago I began a journey of practicing contemplative prayer. Just google it if you haven’t heard of it. It has been a game changer as far as peace in the midst of a busy life is concerned. Armchair Mystic by Mark Thibodeaux is a beautiful book with practical advice. I am constantly battling my “Martha” mentality…..busy, busy, busy. But I want to live a “Mary” life; to move from a life of being busy for God to a life of surrender to the King!

  7. OK Gurl you are too hard on yourself!! We LOVE you and your posts! The top looks great and it does NOT make your shoulders look big!! You always look great! Calm down!

  8. I agree with thevother ladies, don’t stress yourself!
    The first thing I thought when I saw your picture is how slim you look, not how wide your shoulders looked! I love your blog and all of the outfits you wear. Thanks for the inspiration.

  9. Look forward to reading your posts every morning and seeing how well you have put yourself together…don’t stress when you aren’t feelin your best..have Joe take a pix from the shoulders down..lol…we just want you to be HAPPY! God Bless you!

  10. I have same BR pants! I’m getting much more adventurous with what I wear with them because of you!! Gorgeous top, too.
