HOW TO STYLE A PRINT TOP

I had a very eventful week last week. It was fun and also very challenging. I played in the Big Easy and ate waaaaay too much. I mean way too much. I am glad I took these pictures before I left home because I am not sure I can fit in my clothing right now. I am on a water diet. Lol! This is where you lock me in a closet and only run the water hose to me. Hahaha! Of course, that isn’t true but I am going to have to watch what I eat for a week or two.
Did you see my posts of Joe and I exploring New Orleans? If not, then go here and here. One of the most challenging things I juggled while on vacation was to participate in The Fierce 50 Campaign. It was a lot of information that we needed to share and it was a little harder being out of town. I really enjoyed meeting up with some of the other over 50 bloggers and I hope to be included in this group again next year.What catches your eye first in this outfit? Is the violet cardigan or the printed shirt the star of the show? I would be hard pressed to come up with that answer because I think the two compliment each other so well. The print shirt is one that I bought this past fall at Old Navy. Here is how I styled it then, but I like now’s look better. This top is sold out but this one and this one are very similar. I don’t have on very much jewelry today. The real reason is that I was in a rush and just forgot. Lol! I even had a couple of bracelets and a necklace laid out and still forgot to put them on. Lol! I did manage to put on the Angie earrings. My bracelet I have on is called the Wanda. I like that the bracelet is expandable and easily put on, I hate having to fasten a bracelet. I am just not the most coordinated person out there. Some mornings I just give up and stick the bracelet in my pocket until one of the girls at work can put it on for me. Haha There is only one week left in this month, so don’t forget that I am offering 15% off Plunder on orders over 50.00, I will send you a check for the discount. Go to www.plunderdesign.com/party/tania1 to shop from Plunder.Now for this gorgeous cardigan. I bought this last year around this time in Orlando, Florida. I spent several days at the Premier outlets in Orlando and this J.Crew cardigan was one of many purchases I made while I was there.

I think the dark color of the jeans helps to showcase the bright colors of the top and sweater. It creates a soothing palette. That sounds almost like I have a clue what I am talking about. Lol! These bootcut jeans are a pair of Vigoss that I bought at Maurices. I need to take another jean buying trip before long because it has been at least a year since I have bought any.

Because I was on the road I didn’t get to participate in this week’s Fashion Flash but Allison with Never Say Die Beauty hosted the group. Check out the post here.I am all the time telling you gurls about my love for Rodan and Fields. I truly would love to be able to give every one of you a sample because it is so amazing. I went 54 years without taking off my makeup or washing my face before bedtime but since I tried R & F that makes me cringe. I only wish I had found this earlier. I know these products are not for everyone and that is alright. What I really never talk about is the “business” behind R & F and I want to say just a few things about that. There are many reasons to join  R & F as a business partner. You will be able to purchase your products at cost. If I told you nothing else that should be enough. However, there is much more to the business than that. The community of consultants is very tight knit and encouraging. I was surprised at this because I thought everyone would be out for themselves. That is not the case, in fact, I can ask any of them to talk to someone for me and they would, I can ask questions and they will go out of their way to find out the answer, and I can count on them to have an encouraging word when things are not going like I want. I also have big plans to eventually retire and the extra income will really come in handy. If you have any questions about the business, I would love to talk to you.
