SUNNY & BRIGHT
Good morning gurls! I am sunny and bright and feeling alright. Haha I can shake my head no, and even rinse my hair in the shower without wincing in pain. It is a WONDERFUL day. The fact that the Tennessee Vols won the biggest game of the weekend, might help things a little. When you are a Tennessee girl, living in a Virginia world, it can be brutal when your team takes it on the chin. 
I am not a HUGE football fan. I like the game, I even like watching the games, but I can take it or leave it. I have several close friends who are “die hard” fans of VT and UT. They go to the games, (we have to schedule woman’s club events around VT’s football schedule) and root their teams on with passion. I am one who walks through the room, watches for a few minutes to see the score, then goes on and does something else. I even went to bed at half-time on Saturday night. Joe told me the score when he came to bed. Lol!
I wore an orange dress to church on Sunday, (coincidence I am sure) but I decided that on today’s post I would show you another look on the yellow cardigan I wore on Saturday. Today I am wearing navy and yellow, one of my favorite color combinations. (see here and here) The yellow cardigan “pops” against the navy top. My cardigan is from Old Navy, and it is one of my favorite’s.

I doubt you can see what this bracelet says, but is says “simplify.” This is a dainty bracelet, and I am not one who normally wears dainty, but it is cute. I can identify with the saying, I need to simplify a lot of areas in my life. Usually I am adding, not simplifying, my routines. I’ll let you know if this bracelet works. Haha
The other bracelet (Brenda) says, “with brave wings she flies.” I am afraid this sentiment is not me either. I am not brave, and I hate to fly. Lol! I know that is not what the bracelet signifies, but I just don’t feel that brave. I do know a few people who this would be perfect for. One is a lady battling cancer, and the other is one that recently lost her husband. I think they both are women who are brave, and I admire both of them.
I have on two necklaces today. The short one is called the Norah and the long one is called Blanche. The Norah necklace reminds my of the olive branch symbol. And I wonder if they named the Blanche after Blanch Devereaux from the Golden Girls. I can just see her saying, “Why, Bless Your Heart.” Lol!
I have forgotten to tell everyone HOW to order Plunder from me, and several of you have messaged that you purchased something, but didn’t think I got the credit. If you have ordered anything this month, send me a quick message to let me know. fiftyisnotold@gmail.com If you wish to purchase anything from Plunder, I would appreciate it if you went to my website. You have to type in http://www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens or you can enter my stylist number in the “box” when you go to checkout. #241007 Also, there will be a spot where you can pick a party, please pick Tania’s Party. I am blown at how nice you gurls are. You could buy Plunder from another stylist, but you choose to buy from me. That is unbelievable!!! I have decided to not be like the cell phone companies, they only give rewards to “new” customers. I think the customers who have been loyal and stick with you also need rewarding. So, I am going to be giving away a necklace this month to two of my customers. I just want to randomly say thank you.
My yellow print Pixie pants are from Old Navy. I bought these back in the summer, but by pairing a cardigan with the pants, I will be able to wear them into the fall. I think these would look really cute with a pair of boots and a navy puffer vest. Ohhhh, I NEED a navy puffer vest!!!

My navy tank top is LOGO by Lori Goldstein. This is a new brand for me, and I have liked everything I have gotten so far. I purchase my items from an outlet store in town that buys overstock items from OVC. They sell their tops for 12.00, pants for 6.00, and all shoes for 25.00. That would be where these cute shoes came from also. They are by Marc Fisher, and I have worn them all spring and summer. They make ever outfit just a little dressier. Plus because they are platforms, I am almost as tall as Joe when I wear them. I like being able to look him in the eye. Haha

I laughed when I saw these pictures. I have most of my purses in one of the back bedrooms, and if I am going to carry a different purse, I go pick one out and change out all the “stuff.” Today, I grabbed the Dooney & Bourke purse (Similar) and decided to go ahead and take the pictures, before I transferred all the goodies. Look how flat and empty the poor thing looks. Hahaha I guess I learned a lesson, I will just go ahead and take the extra time to transfer everything out. This just looks pitiful. Lol!
Have you signed up for a subscription to my blog? If not, then why???? This will only ensure that an email it sent to you, letting you know when a new post has been made. I would hate for you to forget to come visit me. Haha I am trying to grow my subscription list, so I would appreciate it if you would take the time to sign up. Just enter your email address in the box to the right of the title of this post.
I want to thank EVERYONE for being a big part of my blog. It would not happen if it wasn’t for you gurls!!! I hope that one day I will meet some of you, that would be fantastic. I know I will be going to a vintage fashion show in Marietta GA in October, maybe some of you will be able to come and visit. ?

I am brand new to your blog and love your style! My self image is at a bit of a low point right now. I need to wear attractive outfits with confidence even though I am short and wider than I’d like to be. Do the Old Navy pixie pants have much stretch and are they too low cut for a more “mature” woman? I’m looking forward to exploring your blog.
Debbie, there are two different styles of the pixie pants. One is a Chino version and I buy my normal size, and the other has stretch and a spandex blend. One that one I buy the next bigger size. I love them and I will be 58 next month so I am plenty mature. Lol!
You always look so pulled together and fun!! I sure wish I could order from that QVC outlet!! Your killing me with the LOGO deals!! I love those tops but on QVC they run 60 plus some. Have a great week and oh Yes I’m a VOLS fan that lives in Alabama! But I’m right at the tn/bama line.
I have tried to talk them into putting up a website, but no go. I bet it is hard pulling for the Vols in Bama country. Haha
I absolutely LOVE this color combination! I never would have thought to pair yellow with navy (I wear a lot of navy and black, but not together lol) I am very happy that I stumbled onto your blog 🙂
I seldom wear navy or yellow, but you have changed my mind with this outfit. It looks great on you. I love how it pops! Those pants are great.
Tania, I ordered some plunder goodies under your party and I received my jewelry and love it except I received an “A” initial Patsy necklace and thought i ordered a “W”. Now plunder is telling me to use the return form in my back office (!) and return the necklace to them. Can you help me out? Order No. 293934 – 🙁
I’ll see what I can find and email you Lisa.
Love this outfit!! Actually I love almost all your outfits
Great outfit! Love those pixie pants. You look just darling, despite the deflated purse ?
I love the navy & yellow! You look so sunny & bright. Have a great day – glad you’re feeling better!
You look terrific!
So Thankful You are feeling Better!! Love the Navy & Yellow look……Hope You Day & Week is Great……
Cute outfit! !
Glad you are feeling better. You look cute as always this morning!
Denise from South Florida?
Yes love the color combo looks great!
I love your honesty that’s what keeps me coming back to your blogs and post’s.
I think what’s so cool about you is that you teach us that lookin awesome does not have to be expensive. There is a misconception that if you buy pricey you look better or feel better. That’s BOLOGNE you demonstrate to us that you need not a lot of cash to look GREAT!
God Bless you have a great day.
What an awesome outfit!
LOVE this. Navy and yellow. So pretty!
I really like the yellow and navy combination. I’m not sure I would have thought to pair those two colors together, so it was nice to see how it came together! Thanks for sharing…..glad you are feeling better!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! Could you please start incorporating jewelry other than Plunder? I have no desire to order it, and I know from your jewelry storage system you have quite a stash! Haha! I have a WALL full of jewelry and know that I have things on hand I could use but none of it really looks similar to Plunder, and I’m in a quandary! Help? Thanks Tania!
I’ll tell you what I’ll try to do, Mary. I take pictures of what I am wearing, and right now I am really into the Plunder look and style. I like it for it’s versatility, and I like it because of all their inspirational items. BUT, I understand that not everyone likes the same thing. So, I will try to taking pictures with something else on, and then pictures with my Plunder, since that is what I will actually be wearing during the day.
Thank you SO much, Tania! xo
Great outfit. Months ago, I noticed a wonderful lace tank you wore from LOGO but I had yet to try their line. Now I have the bug for that style and have added many to my collection. Lucky you to be so close to the QVC outlets!
Have a great day!
I hope you like that line Audrey. Everything that I have bought has been great, and extremely comfortable.
Love the yellow!
I really like the navy top. Navy and yellow are good colors together. I am so glad you are feeling better. ~Lisa~
I’m glad you’re back to 100%. Were you singing “the sun’ll come out tomorrow …” as you wrote this post? If not, you should have with sunniness of your outfit. And I hear you on the problem of flat purses. My blog photos are not usually OOTDs so when I grab a purse it’s usually empty so I’ll stuff it will tissue paper, or plastic shopping bags, or even a dirty t-shirt just to make it look a bit full.

That is what I would do if I was not actually wearing my outfit all day. I go to work in whatever I am wearing.
Hey Tania, keep up the great work. Love the pants blue and navy look awesome together.
I was wondering if I can purchase Plunder jewellry living in Australia. I love it and would like to buy some of the pieces. Thanks Joanne?
I wish they shipped to Australia. I have had SEVERAL ladies from Australia mention that they would like to purchase. I did order some for one lady, and then “I” shipped it to her. The only problem is, it is incredibly expensive to ship to Australia. It ended up costing about 40.00 more US dollars.
That’s a shame, but probably not worth another $40shipping. Still love all the ideas and try and copy them over here. Should be able to find something similar.
Thanks?

I am glad you are feeling better! I love the accesories!
Do like that combo! So glad you are feeling better too!
Lovely combination – the yellow and navy!!!
So glad to hear you are feeling all better again Tania – wishing you a fabulous start to the week.

Sunny and bright, those are two words to describe you, dear lady! I’m so glad that you’re able to do everyday things again, we don’t realise how many times we have to twist and bend our necks until we have a problem and sometimes take good health for granted. Those pixie pants are so cute!
I know Caroline. It reminds me of that old commercial where this bone is connected to that bone, and that bone is connected to that bone. I felt like that with my neck, everything was connected. Lol!
