THAT SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD
Do you hate it when a song is stuck in your head? The other day we started singing “Where is Thumbkin” and now that song is stuck in my head. Don’t ask why I was singing that song in the first place. Haha Get ready to have a bunch of songs swirling in your brain, I am going to name my favorite songs.
Who Let theDogsOout? Who, who? Lol! I sing this almost every time I take the pooches out for a potty break.
Jeramiah was a Bullfrog. Such a good friend of mine. Ribit Ribit! This was a favorite of my sister and mine when we would be on the way to the lake.
Macarena. Oh goodness, that song drove me crazy. About as bad as Gangnam stye. Lol!
Fergie and the black-eyed peas song, My Humps, my humps, My lovely lady humps.
And one of the worst, Mickey! Oh Mickey your so fine, your so fine you blow my mind. Hey Mickey
Today’s outfit is one that I would put in the classic category. It is basically monochromatic, all in grays, navy, and white. My sister will LOVE this outfit. I really like the top. It is one that I bought at Cato’s a couple months ago. It is gray and white stripe, but it is the twist at the hem that separates it from an ordinary top. Here is a similar top that is now on sale. Here is the best I could do for a plus version, but hey, it is only $6.00. You better hurry before they sell out. Lol!
My dark navy jacket is from Izod and I think I bought it at JC Penny several years ago. I have a jacket in black by Worthington, and they look so much alike that I couldn’t decide which one to wear. In the end the navy won out. You need a navy blazer! Everyone needs a navy blazer, they go with almost anything. There are thousands to choose from, but here is one that is similar to what I have on in a misses and plus size.
I am carrying an Aimee Kestenberg gray satchel with gold hardware. I love this purse, even though it is quite a bit smaller than some of my other purses. The shoes are by Marc Fisher, and they are black (wasn’t sure if it showed up black or navy) with gold hardware. 
The dreaded hiney shot. Haha I have tried, and there is basically no way to look slim from this angle. Might as well tell you about the pants. They are a nice thick stretchy material, with no pockets. They are by Jules and Leopold. Here is a similar pair under 15.00, and this pair goes up to a 24W.
I can’t believe I made another top blogger over 50 list. This time Jo-Lynne included me in a list of some fantastic bloggers over 50. It may be just me, but do you think it is coincidental that I started the Draw The Circle devotional Last Monday, and I have made TWO blogger lists this week? Me neither!!!

You’ll be singing that all day now. Hahahahahahahahaha
Okay gurls, I need some input from you. I started a youtube channel to upload a video of my outfits daily. For those of you who have asked for a back-side shot, etc., you can see the outfit in all directions. Look it over and tell me honestly whether to continue, or just quit while I am ahead.

I like the video – you can really see the shape of the outfit better. And you look great from behind. Own it, lady! xo
Most definitely a keeper! Keep ’em coming.
While the video is well done, I feel like your photos cover all angles without the need for a video. And if it saves work for you, then skip the video. Love your style – your pairings are giving me inspiration in my own closet.
OH my gosh, with all these followers I think we should have a convention or something! I love reading all the posts and feel like I have friends now!
OH you are TOO CUTE! I love the YouTube . It makes the outfit really real. You can see how the pieces move and see it from all angles. My vote is yes to YouTube . BTW, I also love the outfit.
“Old Time Rock & Roll” (girl) that’s me Appreciate the back view. I can’t tell you how many times I put together a look, took it out for the day, then caught a shot of the uhum rear and was mortified to see what it looked like. While I don’t have a 3 way mirror like I wish I could. I’ve learned to twist & crane to get the back shot too. Thanks.
Yes to the video!!! A~~~for AWESOME!
Love the video! I was hoping to hear your voice though. You write in such a friendly, familiar way that I feel like I know you! Hearing your voice would be the icing on the cake! I hope to have a blog like yours someday!
I think you are the cutest thing ever! If you have the time for the videos, go for it!!
best wishes!!
The You Tube Video was WONDERFUL! You are a natural! Love your sense of humor and style! Yes, I can relate to the songs stuck in your head. You know, the ones we hear when the grandkids are visiting……we are on round 2 of Frozen, first with the now 7 year old, and now the 3 year old loves it, Let It Go, Let It Go…….try getting THAT one our of your head! Keep up your sassy sense of style, it’s right up my alley
I said I wasn’t going to subscribe to any more fashion blogs……but, you are just too adorable and besides liking your style; I think we would be friends!! Congrats on your blog and I enjoyed the youtube as well. That would be a different aspect that sets you apart from the rest! Best wishes!!!
I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago and look forward to checking it out every day. You are adorable and I love your style!!! The YouTube is a great addition!!!!
Seek first the Kingdom of God , then all other things will be added unto you… Yes, I believe God sees that you are putting Him first and He is rewarding you! You deserve to be on the best bloggers over 50 lists!!! My stuck-in-the-head song for today is “Goody Two Shoes” by Adam Ant. (You know you love this song too, admit it. hee hee) The YouTube video was great, you’re a natural at modeling. Tell me, when is your son Joseph going to post more videos on his channel? He’s hysterical and I’m way overdue for a good laugh!
He has actually posted at least one, maybe two more. Type in Josrph Strphens at YouTube.
The video’s are cute! Hey, now that you figured out how to do video…. yep, you guessed it… Hair Tutorial!
Love the stripes today- I have noticed that I am on a stripe and polka dot trend myself – tops and dresses! Both are timeless and classic.
I actually filmed a hair AND a makeup tutorial, but they didn’t turn out right. I am going to have to work on those?
Love this outfit! Now that song is stuck in my head!!!
Very cute. Loving the sandals especially. Yes to the videos.
Considering my name, you can imagine how I would be serenaded when I met some boy who wanted to flirt with me. The best way to get me to walk away, is to sing to me about working in a bar, waiting on some sailor. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. (My father had been in the Navy prior to having a family, and owned a restaurant/bar for a while when I was a kid. Not casting stones.) It’s just not even close to who I was or am. LOL I hate that song. Now it’s stuck in my head. Thanks. : P
The good news is that I love the outfit..especially the shirt. The bad news is that I’ll now be singing most of the songs on your list all afternoon. Did we ever find out who DID let the dogs out?
The video is a great addition to your blog. Its short. (I have a thing against videos over a minute long.) And it shows the outfit off WAY better than the still photos.
I had a neighbor at my old house (when I was single) that got off work early on Fridays. He would get him an adult beverage and sit out in his front yard and watch the world go by. When I drove up at 5 pm, he would serenade me with “Nikki Nikki your so fine, you almost make me blow my mind, Hey Nikki”
ahhhh those were the days, my friend

Video is GREAT….but would love to hear you talk to us! Put a voice with the face/words 🙂 – Thanks for sharing Tania!! Have a great day!
I am so happy I found your blog! Your styles are great and your suggestions on where to buy work for me. I can’t always afford to buy clothes at high end stores so it is nice to see things come from places like JCP. Thank you so much for being down to earth.
Tania, You look stunning today. Funny you should mention songs playing over and over in our heads. I have been singing “Do the Nae Nae” all morning long. I received my “Draw the Circle” book in the mail yesterday.
I can’t wait to open your blog EVERY DAY! The video is a good start….sometimes a close up shot would be great, but I like it! Love the outfit. Have you tried Poshmark for some great buys? Its an online resale shop. Lots of times you can get something nwt—AND you can sell. I’m not trying to sell you on it, just wondering if you’ve tried it out. Let me know and I’ll send you a link—we each get $5 off!
Love what you’re wearing today. In fact, I love everything your wear! I liked your video because I think it “captures” or shows more of what you’re wearing than what the photos do. (I’m not being critical of your photos, tho!) Love your blog!
Tania I love starting my day with you! You always make me smile!
I loved the YouTube video. Your outfit today is stunning!
My favorite colors!!! Adding this to my collection of outfits. Love the YouTube video.
The video is great. I love your outfit.
I have a song in my head too: What the world needs now, is love sweet love. Its the only thing that there’s just too little of.
Its an old song, but so true.
Love the video, & you hair is lovely from the back. Great job!!
I love your video!!!!! You did awesome!!!! You are so bright and honest with no pretense. Just love your style. Brightens my day. Today, I am off and going to start my new book: Draw the Circle: the 40 day prayer challenge. Heard about it from you!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Yours is my favorite blog!!! Thank you for being real. God bless!
A++++++ on the outfit and the You Tube video. You deserve to be on top of the 50’s blog list! Thanks so much. Ohh what shall I wear today……….?
Love your outfit and the YouTube. I was waiting for your to burst into a giggle…you looked liked you were having so much fun. The “Hey Mickey” song…I sing to the grandgirls using their names and they sing it all day. Blessings to you!
Love this outfit. So classic and that is my style.
I loved the video but I too would like to see you narrate the clothes you wear. I think it would make a big impact. Love the outfit today.
Love this outfit and the video! I thought you had done the front tuck on your top until I saw the close up. I like that swoop on the top! Latest song stuck in my head is Love Shack by the B-52s. ?
My new favorite blog also! I look forward to the daily outfits.
Loved the video! I just wish you had played ‘tell you what I want’ in the background!!!! I look at many other bloggers and you are really doing this right! It’s so real and affordable – keep it up! 🙂
Love the YouTube video. I will be a subscriber!
Look forward to your daily blog….love the YouTube!!
Love your blog. You are the first and only fashion blog that I follow as of right now. You always look so nice. I can’t wait to try out some of your looks. You look great from all angles. Have a blessed day Tania. The video was nice but I love the written word and pictures better.
Love your outfit today, and the You Tube video is cute! The song I love to hate is Julie, do you love me, by Bobby Sherman. Pahhleaaase, lol!!!! (and yes, I’m not Lisa, my name is Julie!!)
Hahaha!
Well, girl, you are a natural at modeling!!! I figured it from your photos. I agree with Alison, it would be good to hear you speak, too. You always look beautiful. I appreciate you sharing your Christian faith, as I am a Christian,too.
Thanks for your for real blog!!!
You’re right, I do LOVE the outfit. Save it for me! 🙂
The YouTube is fun. Keep em coming. – Sister
Loved the video! Keep going…as long as you don’t stress out too much over it!
Loved the video.
Look forward to checking out the You Tube Channel. I am petite and plus size, 12 usually (barely) with rolls and a muffin top. You wear so many elastic waist pants. I want to try some but all of my tops are fitted so I will have to regroup. Living near Knoxville where would you suggest I shop and try on these pants? You are an inspiration with your faith, your fashion tips and your wit! Look forward to your blog each morning with my coffee. Like a friend chat! BTW I check out many of the fashion blogs and have for some time. Biggest difference IMO you are REAL! I do not look at your prices and think REALLY! 🙂
A++ for outfit and video! But, why not say a few words on the video? It would be fun to actually hear that southern twang! (Yes, I’m a Yankee..haha!) I read your blog daily, and am always wondering why you comment on the “behind”shot. I was one of the suggesters of that view, and you really do look just fine?
Alison, I did a couple videos where I talked about the outfit, but you could hear so much road noise it was distracting. If I can ever figure out a quite place to record, I might try again. I don’t think I have a southern drawl, but I bet you would. Hahaha
I love this outfit. It is stunning on you. I think the video is a plus.
My new favorite blog! Like the you tube as well! Blessings!
You are so precious and beautiful. Everything looks great on you
Loved loved the video ❤️❤️
It’s a very original idea to have the video. You look great. This is a great classic outfit.
Congratulations! I think Jo Lynne got it right! Your blog is really fun! I love your personality and the clothes, of course! I look forward to getting my e-mail everyday!
Ok, you’re adorable! Love the outfit and I definitely would LOVE the you tube idea! Great and wonderful things are coming to you, Tania!
The worst song to get in your head is Billy Boy. It drives me crazy. About the navy jacket, I never know what to wear it with. I am watching closely for lots of ideas. I typically wear black, brown or dark gray pants. I did invest in some white jeans, just have not worn them yet. Loved the YouTube. Keep them coming.
YES to YouTube! Love it. Great outfit today, Tania!
Love the you tube post! It was great!
I I think the you tube turned out very well! My favorite part of your blog is that you have your personal style, but are willing to experiment with shape and color. That keeps your blog interesting.
