T-SHIRT AND JEANS, PART ONE
I am glad you gurls are looking forward to this series. I don’t normally do a lot of casual clothing so this is a little out of my comfort zone. It is kind of funny how I have waited until I am in my fifties to push my self out of my safe little bubble. You would think that I would just be settling down into a routine but instead I am expanding and growing. Just don’t anybody ask me to do any public speaking, I am not quite ready to be pushed that far yet. Lol! 
Here is a traveling tip for you. There are four of us that made the trip to San Diego for the SMMW convention. Three of us are women and you can be sure we brought plenty of clothes. When you have four people PLUS all of our luggage a normal vehicle won’t hold everything so you have a couple alternatives. You can either schedule a van for every one or two cars and getting two cars is cheaper. We went with the two cars route. Here is the tip, make sure you have two different people schedule the cars. We didn’t do that and Uber thought it was a mistake on our part. One car showed up and we loaded two people in that car with the luggage and almost left. My sister decided to go back and check to see how much longer it would be before the next car showed up. Uber had CANCELLED the other car!!! There was no way that two more people plus luggage were ever going to fit in the car we were in, so they ended up having to drive. The parking fees are going to be crazy high but there weren’t any Uber cars available at that time in the morning. We all finally made to the airport in plenty of time. One of us, and I am not going to say which one, had to open their suitcase and take shoes out and put in the carry on because they were 11 pounds overweight. Just wait until we are coming home. I think we have decided to buy another suitcase for all the purchases. Lol!
I am glad everyone is looking forward to this series. Yesterday’s post was showing you a basic outfit with a t-shirt and jeans and the remaining posts this week will show you how to take this simple outfit and make it look different. Today I added a vest. This is a cute vest with lots of colors and an interesting print. This vest I purchased at Belk’s and it is by Crown and Ivy. The great thing about the vest is that it also adds some warmth. Spring is a crazy time of the year where it can be cool in the morning and scorching hot in the afternoon. Layering makes it easy to keep you comfortable.
You knew I would take the opportunity to carry my pink leather Vera Bradley tote. I love, love, love this purse! I can’t believe how versatile it is, I would never have believed how much I carry it. I think pink is like a leopard prit, it is a neutral and goes with everything. Lol! This is the medium size Ella tote, can you believe there is one larger than this? 
Casual and comfortable but still stylish. That is how I would describe this look. Accessories is what makes the outfit so go to your closet and see what you have that you can use to change a normal outfit you wear. Adding a scarf, necklace, purse, or jacket will make a HUGE difference. Just wait to see what I have in store for you tomorrow.
Some of you have emailed me about why I even bother with Rodan + Fields so I have thought about that and decided to share “my” story with you.
I started with Rodan and Fields back in March of 2016. I had watched my friend post about the products and her terrific results. But she “sold” the product so I couldn’t help but wonder if the products were really “that” good or was she just being a salesperson. After about two months of watching her another friend of mine, one that did not sell the products, posted on FaceBook how happy she was that she had tried Rodan and Fields and she even did a before and after picture. That was all I needed to give me the nudge I needed.
After a couple of weeks, I started to see results. I had tried many, many different products in the past but I would soon give up on them because I never saw any changes. I was THRILLED! For the first time ever I was actually taking care of my face. But, I was starting to run out of the regimen and I needed to reorder. My products had lasted me almost 3 months! I wanted to purchase them at the best possible price so I called my friend out of the blue and told her I wanted to signup. I explained to her that I had NO interest in selling the products because I was not a salesperson. I only wanted to be able to purchase for my personal use.
Fantastic!!! I now would be able to use two Regimens instead of just the one. Soon I started getting comments like, “what are you doing different? Your face is glowing.” “Have you changed your lighting because you seem to be glowing?” “Did you change your makeup? You are just glowing!” It actually took me a while to understand what they were talking about. I hadn’t changed anything, EXCEPT that I was now using Rodan and Fields. Talk about a light bulb moment. I didn’t think anyone was noticing.
Now I feel like it is my responsibility to tell EVERYONE! I know some of you will think the same thing I did, that I am only trying to “sell” you something. That is not the case. I started my blog, www.50isnotold.com because I wanted to help ladies after the age of 40 have more confidence about themselves. I chose the fashion avenue to help them look the best they could and not become frumpy. Why would I not tell them about something I LOVE that could help them with their face, the one thing they could not hide or cover up?
I am getting closer and closer to hitting the email subscribers 5000 mark!!! Once we hit the magic number I will be having a giveaway! I am going broke with giveaways!
PLEASE take the time to signup. 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.

Love the out fit
I LOVE that purse! Nothing like a roomy purse, especially traveling, You can get ANYTHING in there. PS I bought your sister’s book today! I can’t wait to read it!
How can I order something from plunder?
Cindy, you go to http://www.plunderdesign.com/party/tania4 That is the party I have open for now.
Got it, thank you. Where can I learn more about Rhodan & Fields.
Love the outfit! I never thought of wearing a vest, I like the color and boldness, I may start looking at them.
Hope you are having fun, now that you have made it and ALL your luggage to the hotel. LOL 😉
I am the same way – if I wear tennis shoes they are converse, unless I am actually going on a fitness walk! When I do wear them with jeans or shorts for some random reason (like travel!) it feels and looks very unnatural to me!
Your outfits are so cute! Tania, you rock casual too. Hope you are having a blast in San Diego!???
Tania, I can’t believe you’re in tennis shoes but yet the match your outfut! I’m glad you’ll be comfortable in all that walking. I have not been able to tell a difference in my face while using the Rodan &Fields, but I can certainly tell a difference in your eyelashes! They look like butterfly wings on your eyes! So beautiful! And lucky that it worked like that! Enjoy San Diego!
Love the whole outfit and look. Still could not bring myself to wear the tennis shoes even after seeing you ‘jazz’ them up. Even when powerwalking, I wear skeechers slip ons – just can’t do the ties! Haven’t work ‘real’ tennis shoes since I played tennis regularly. Way too many comfy, fashionable shoes. Guess that makes me a tennis shoe snob?!?
Diana, I would give anything to wear pretty shoes every day but can’t due to Plantar Fasciitis. It hurts to walk much with anything except my tennis shoes with the orthotic inserts in them. About the only time I wear pretty shoes is to church. So it made my day when I saw Tania modeling this outfit with actual tennis shoes. I have the same ones. Count your blessings you have good feet ☺
Question about your t shirt…do you usually wear a shaping type of camisole under the white t shirt? I have an upper roll just above my belly button and I am always conscious of it showing when I wear white so I avoid it as much as possible. Do you suggest to wear something over top to hide it more than just wearing the t shirt?
