THIS IS WHAT 60 LOOKS LIKE
This is what 60 looks like!!! I have to admit that when I was in my 40s, I would have thought that 60 was OLD. I mean, the kind of old where you are wearing a shawl around your shoulders and sitting around knitting an afghan while wondering where you put your teeth. I thought that life was over by that age and all that you had to look forward to was spoiling your grandchildren. No more parties or traveling, no wearing bathing suits or even getting in a swimming pool, no more sex (that was a picture that I didn’t want in my head), basically, no more fun. ?
I hope that gave all of you a chuckle because we now know that is no where near the truth. Yes, I have jello arms (thanks Emersyn), and age spots (thanks to tanning in my younger years), but, I also love traveling, swimming (with a bathing suit on), and spoiling my grandchildren. It looks like I was at least right about the spoiling the grandchildren part. I look forward to the next 60 years (hey, longevity runs in my family) and I can’t wait to see what twists and turns lies ahead. Raise your glass…life is good!!!
You knew that I was going to dress up for my birthday! I decided that the evening gown that I had picked out might have been a little over the top, so I settled on my favorite style for a dress instead. I love sheath dresses because they flatter my shape, or I probably should say, my LACK of a shape. I am built like a ruler, and I am straight up and down with no real curves. So, to create curves visually, I rely on blazers and cardigans (HERE), or items that create an illusion (HERE) of a waist. A sheath dress is a slim cut dress that is still loose enough to hide many of your flaws. It fits tighter under your chest and then falls straight down. This style dress looks good on most body types including those like me, those who are bigger on the top, and those who are bigger on the bottom. It is the closest thing to being a universally flattering dress that there is.
I kept my jewelry simple today since the ruffled neckline of the dress was the star of the show. My AVI silver hoop earring has been a favorite of mine since I bought them at the end of last year. These hoops are large, and they make a big statement. I loved them so much that I bought them in gold also. Lol! Kendra Scott is having a buy one pair of earrings and get another pair 40% off today. Of course, like all stores, the lesser priced item will be the one that gets the 40% taken off. However, if you buy two of these, you are going to save right at 40.00. Isn’t that how we tell our husbands, what we save and not what we spent? Lol!!! You can also see the dainty Rue cuff bracelet that I wear a lot. It is easy to slip on and take off, and it adds just a tiny bit of elegance to every outfit. HERE is the link to the bracelet.
How about adding a pop of color to this outfit? Sometimes I feel like adding a “POP” and other times I like keeping things neutral. I debated wearing navy shoes, white shoes, or neutral colored shoes, but in the end, the red won my heart. It might be time for me to embrace the sassy side of my life. These red pumps are by Michael Kors, and I’ve owned them for a long time. This red color is sold out, but a gorgeous bright pink color is available and they are on sale for 63.00! Those would sure add a POP to any outfit. HERE is the link to those, plus I’ll link a few other red pumps below.
Finally, my dress!!! It is an Eliza J dress, and I am a huge fan of Eliza J. I am wearing my usual size 12 in this dress, and it fits me like a dream. HERE is the link to this dress. Here is a dress that I wore to Cancun from ELiza J. that I LOVED, and here is a striped one that I think might have gone with me there also. I love the deep navy color of this dress, but it is the blue and white striped ruffle neckline that pushed me over the edge. Joe is not a fan of the ruffle neckline, but he is CRAZY! This is such a flattering neckline, and he can just get over it because I am wearing it anyway. I took a hot pink dress (HERE) like this with us to Cancun, and after he rolled his eyes and told me that he hated the dress, I ended up changing. BUT, I wish that I had worn the pink dress because I love it, and I feel pretty when I wear it, so there…

Psalm 139:13-14
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
I know I’m a couple of yrs late to wish you a Happy 60th birthday 🥳 and you’re lookin good at 60. Your complexion is beautiful.
My most remembered birthday was a couple of years ago when I went camping for my birthday and my husband and Goddaughter bought me a ice cream cake with out me knowing it. But my husband didn’t want me to find it so he put it in a cooler full of ice. Well that night when he went to get out the cake you guessed it one melted ice cream cake. But he scraped what he could up off the box stuck a sparkler on it for a candle and they sang happy birthday to me. Loved every minute of my melted birthday cake and memory
Your blog is so inspiring AND empowering! So grateful to have found it on Pinterest! Happy Belated Birthday to you!
Thanks so much, Donna! I am glad that you found me and are enjoying the blog!
Hi there from Grand Prairie, TX. I am just finding you and very happy I must say.. Wonderful blog. Happy belated birthday. You look fabulous for *6*0*!!! I have just past 58 and need your inspiration for my wardrobe. I have pinned everything I can find of yours on Pinterest. When I go shopping from now on I will be looking at your styles on my board to find particular outfits. Keep the beautiful ideas coming. Love from Texas!!!
I’m on the MS Gulf Coast and it is 90 degrees right now. Real feel 99. I stick to AC cars straight into AC stores and trust me, they keep these stores cold. Cardigan would come in handy in the evening walking on the beach though.
I think this green is positively stunning. Put me down for banana print pants. So cute!
Love your spunk! I had a bone marrow transplant so I am grateful to be here at 54 yo! AND, I have a 13 year old daughter! Life is NEVER boring,….
Happy Birthday! You always look so beautiful. May you be blessed with everything wonderful each and every day. Thank you for the fabulous ideas and shopping links. I am very grateful for stumbling onto your blog last year.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. YOU LOOK FABULOUS!! SERIOUSLY THOUGH. YOU ARE ROCKIN THAT DRESS AND THE RED HEELS. 🙂
Have you ever heard of James Avery Jewelry? Beautiful pieces. I also love Disney Pandora bracelets.
Happy birthday! My favorite was #39, my husband and kids threw a surprise party for me. Lol I was definitely surprised!
Happy Birthday! I too will be 60 this year. My husband has been planning a big party with all our friends and family, in a downtown location, catered food, cake flowers!
Now with all theses restrictions not sure it will happen?? Might be just another day, with cake oh course!
Late to your party – but Happy Birthday! Love this dress! My favorite birthday was my 40th – hubby & I left in the morning for a day of wine tasting at some wineries about 1 1/2 hours away. Little did I know that it would turn into a weekend including a stay at a quaint b & b. My wonderful guy had arranged for a friend to watch our kids & my daughter ( then 12) packed a bag for me!
I remember turning 18 with my whole life ahead of me and all family and friends still with me. If only I could relive that day. You encourage me to be okay with 55 instead. Thank you.
You’re a great looking and classy 60!
Happy Birthday! Love your Attitude ❤️
Happy Birthday! I love that I know who I am and am very comfortable in my own skin!
When I turned 40 I thought I was old. I was trying to get a job, and thought nobody would hire me! But thanks to Gods intervention, I got a job I worked at for 25 years and loved! Happy Birthday too yooou ???♥️✝️
Tania, you always look amazing. We know that 60 is only a number! I say, congratulations on keeping the style train going, girl! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!! You look great and I love the dress! Don’t listen to Joe. ?
My birthday is in the fall, so my favorite memory was when my husband surprised me with a weekend trip to Brasstown Valley Resort in North Georgia. It was magical.❤️ But I love practical too, like painted rooms and light switch covers. ?
Happy Birthday!!! You look amazing! And I love the way you are owning 60! I found myself being a little shy about it and not wanting to admit it but ya know…I look pretty good for my age so why not! I’m going to follow in your footsteps, even though I’m 6 months ahead of you. Have a wonderful birthday week!
Happy Birthday!! I just started following you a few months ago and I think your blog and Instagram stories are great!! My most memorable birthday was my 40th – my mother passed away 1 month before and my young kids planned a surprise party (with the help of my siblings). It was very special!
Happy 60th Birthday Tania!
Sixty never looked so good!
Happy Birthday Tania!! You look fantastic!! As I always say..we don’t wear our age. Just keep being you!
Happy birthday, Tania!! My most memorable birthday was my 50th. My hubby thought he was pulling a surprise party on me but I had accidentally seen the invitation so it wasn’t really a surprise!! What was surprising was how many people were there!! I loved it!!
My best birthday memory happened in May last year. It was my 60th and my kids, husband and my sisters shocked me with a surprise birthday party in our back yard. Plenty of food, drinks, Mexican themed decorations and dancing music. I couldn’t stop laughing at the joy I felt to see all my family and friends there. Sixty is wonderful so enjoy your Birthday Tania!
I’m with ya Tania… I use to think 60 was ancient… not so much any more. I always downplay my birthdays… never liked the attention. My family has given up trying to plan celebrations.
Happy Birthday Sweet Tania ???
Coming from a family of ten we would celebrate with cake. Even when I was married my Mom would come to my house with a cake!
60 looks good on you! Happy Birthday
It will take you 60 years to read all of the comments LOL. Happy 60th Birthday!
Happy Birthday! As I have aged, I most enjoy celebrating with my family just by eating dinner together. One of the best was in my younger days…25…when my boyfriend proposed at what was a “fancy” restaurant to us at the time. Now 28 years and 2 kids later we still enjoy eating out for birthdays!
Happy Birthday Pretty girl. 60 looks great on you.
I hope Joe buys you something special!
I turned 60 in February. There’s nothing to it!! You look fabulous!
Cheers to you as you celebrate your 60th! I hope it’s a fabulous year.
Happy Birthday ???
Happy Birthday!! Joe is insane. That hot pink ruffle neck dress is AMAZING.
Happy Birthday ! My 60th was my most memorable birthday. My sweet husband arranged for my best friend to fly in from OR. He had arranged a spa day, a play, and lots of fun for us while she visited. It was a great time.
Happy Birthday Gurl! I have a couple of good birthday memories that come to mind, although I’ve had a lot of good ones. The first when I was about 7, my brother was in college and he bought me a tee shirt from Western KY university. I have always looked up to him and I thought I was so cool in my college shirt. Then about 10 years ago my two boys surprised me with a beagle puppy on my birthday.
Happy Birthday! You look great.
My favorite birthday memory was the 40th when my husband threw me a huge surprise party. I had no idea and it was so much fun. I had hoped to have a party for my 65th in June, but looks like I’ll have to postpone due to Corona.
You look great! Happy Birthday!
Looking good! Happy Birthday.
Happy birthday week!!! My favorite birthday memory is January 2000, my children and my husband made me a birthday supper and cake without my help. My children were nine and ten. My husband made a big deal out of everything that day. Two months later he passed away in car accident. So. Have always treasured that BIRTHDAY. Also I already get emails.
Happy Birthday from one May girl to another May girl. I am new to your blog site and are so enjoying your inspirational messages. Thank you.
PS Love your emerald ring. Where is is from?
Happy birthday! My favorite birthday memory is having a big meal with my family every year and what I love most about my age is how much wiser I’ve become over the years. Wishing you the best birthday ever 🙂
Happy Birthday! You are, and will continue to be, an inspiration to all of us. Such energy and enthusiasm for life is a wonderful gift. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday, Tania and thanks for all your hard work!
Happy Birthday! Wear that hot pink dress, you look beautiful in it.
Happy birthday, Tania! You are a beautiful 60! (or 50 or 40! Wear what makes you feel pretty …& sexy!
Mzzzz. Stephens,
60 looks amazing!!! I bet you get a lot of attention from guys even more than half your age. You go girl!
Happy 60th Tania! You look Marvelous!
I loved birthdays when I was young. It was right after Christmas and we would have a Fondue party. Mom would do a pot with hot oil and all sorts of yummy stuff to cook in it and one with Fondue. My Godparents and cousins would come over. Best time!
Happy Birthday, Tania! You look fabulous – I just recently found your blog and I am enjoying it so much. I think my favorite birthday memory, was last year. My husband surprised me with tickets to the Broadway production of To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s my favorite book of all time and even tho seeing a play isn’t really his thing, he knew how much I would love it. It was very special!
Happy Birthday, Tania!!! We’re not big birthday people either, but last year for my 60th birthday my family rented a cabin about 3 hours from our house and all of us spent a weekend together there. It was a blast, and my favorite birthday in a long, long time, probably ever. I would love to win that Lash Boost; I have short, practically nonexistent eyelashes but that price point is a little too much for me.
You don’t look a day over 40! ? You make 60 look so good! Happy Birthday and know that you are blessed today and always! ????
Happy Birthday! I enjoy reading your blog daily to get inspirations and ideas. I really enjoy the Sunday posts. Hope you have a marvelous day!
Happy Birthday! I always said that I wanted to mature gracefully and you, my dear are definitely doing that!
I didn’t really put much care into celebrating my birthday until a few years ago when my sister almost died from an error made during a simple procedure she was having. After that, birthdays meant so much more to me. It was a mental reminder to take a moment and recall the past year and be appreciative and thankful that you were given another year of life. So hey, the more birthdays, the more memories and the more life we have to reflect upon!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Love your thoughts today about turning 60 and you’re right: you’re NOT old! Love the dress on you….you look beautiful! And I also love your haircut/style…..can you tell me what it’s called (shag, bob, ha – you can tell I don’t know which is which)! It’s adorable on you and super flattering! Have a very blessed day and year!
My favorite memory (and maybe because it’s the most recent!) was last year (I turned 53); I got to spend it with my husband, and one of my sons, but I was traveling and got to spend it on the beach in So Cal! One of my favorite things…..
Tania, you look amazing in the navy dress! Love the pop of color with your red pumps. We share the same birthday!
My husband and children surprised me with a dinner party two years ago on my 60th. Enjoy your day.?
One of my favorite birthday memories was when I turned 40 (25 years ago!). One of our daughters was a jr. high cheerleader and there was a football game on my birthday. As we sat in the stands at halftime the cheerleaders came out with a banner wishing me Happy Birthday. And then I was taken to a surprise birthday party that my husband and friends had planned. It was wonderful!!
Happy Birthday Tania!!! Every birthday is such a gift. 50 was spent in Seattle with my family with a great day lunch at the top of the Space Needle on a picture perfect day.
Love that dress! Happy Birthday Tania
? ? ?
Happiest of Birthdays to you. You look marvelous darling! You certainly look you are celebrating your special day with style.Wishing you a year filled with health, happiness and continued blogging. ???
Happy Birthday! My favorite birthdays have been the last 7 when my grandchildren have celebrated with me.
Happy birthday Tania! ? No worries about the age, no one would ever guess you are 60! You look fabulous and I’m especially impressed (jealous) that you still wear amazing heels ? My husband threw me a 29 3/4 surprise birthday party. It was in October and my birthday is in December. I had no idea the party was for me when everyone yelled “surprise” ?
Happy 60th Birthday, Tania! You are an inspiration and deserve the BEST day ever. My best birthday was two years ago when my older daughter put together a birthday party for me, complete with fun decorations, flowers, and my closest friends and family. What made it extra special was that my daughter hadn’t been home for my birthday in four years because she was in college. I love having my girl back!
Happy Birthday Tania! You are beautiful on the outside and inside! I look forward everyday to reading your posts. You are an inspiration
Happy Birthday! You’re definitely getting better with age! I look forward to your emails! My birthday was in April, my poor husband was desperate to make it a special day for me! He made me a Betty Crocker “stir and frost” type cake and arranged for our adult children to call and do a FaceTime Happy Birthday sing along! Have a great day!
60 is looking pretty good on you.
A memorable birthday for me was about 10 years ago – in my 50’s – my daughter was living out of state at the time – and she totally surprised me by flying in on my birthday to celebrate with me. Love that girl!!
Happy birthday to a lovely, sassy, entertaining & generous lady!!
Happy birthday, Tania! You look amazing and I really enjoy your blog!!
Sixty looks good on you ! You are a beautiful, godly woman . I love your website ! Sarah
Happy Birthday ? ? ?!! You look stunning! I would of never guessed you were 60! You wear it well!! Thank you for your inspiration, I too am a straight. God bless you!!
Love the dress! Happy Birthday!!! You look great!! I had a great 40 th birthday celebrating at a dinner with family and friends!!!
Hi Tania & Happy Birthday Blessings! didn’t you hear that 60 is the new 50? I turned 64 last week…all day long my husband played the Beatles’ tune “When I’m 64″…then some friends came by with a drive by and sang that song to me-so much fun! Turning 64 is definitely a Blessing as I am dealing with inoperable Pancreatic Cancer…I was diagnosed in September 2018 and I’m still HERE! TBTG! Thru chemo, radiation, and now a regime of chemo pills, your Blog has been a steady source of fun and inspiration. Thank you, Jan
Happy Happy Birthday Tania hope your day is great. and you look absolutely fabulous ,not 60 at all. Love your dress today
Happy Birthday, Tania!???☀️Cheers!?
Happy birthday! Turning 60 myself this year. Sure don’t feel like I should be turning 60. I’m like you thinking we should be wearing old lady clothes by now. Not me!
Happy Birthday Tania! You are an inspiration for sure!
Happy birthday! Love the outfit! I really liked the dress on the beach too. Picking my fav birthday is hard. My parents made the day special. And now I try to do that for my kids. My top birthdays are the one my husband took me to Maui for or when my first child was born(it’s a long story but he was in Nicu and was deemed healthy safe around my birthday. Now he is over 6 feet tall and doing well but those first few weeks were nerve racking. I am tearing up just typing. I love celebrating birthdays, cake, counting blessings, looking ahead for what is next. I wish you the best today and always.
Happy Birthday sweet lady! You look wonderful and I love the outfit you chose to wear on your birthday.
I hope your day is full of love and blessings.
60 is working for you!! Happy Bday here’s to many more! thanks for sharing all you do – we all love it – have a great day!
When my husband
worked nights, he made sure I had a birthday breakfast celebration. He made sure there were flowers, a cake, and presents. That’s a lot for a busy guy to do, especially with a birthday so close to Christmas.
Happiest of birthdays to you Tania! The 60’s are just as sweet as the 50’s!!! Enjoy!
Happy Birthday, Tania! You look amazing! I have several great birthday memories. There was the time my parents gave me a surprise Sweet 16 party at Veteran’s Park in Redondo Beach with all of my friends & family there, and that memory is very sentimental. But the one that makes me smile is my 40th, when I received a dead bouquet of flowers, a “gift” basket full of Depends, Poly-Grip, a cane, etc., and a singing telegram of “You’re old, you’re old, you’re old” to the tune of the Mexican Hat Dance (during which, of course, I had to join in!).
Happy Birthday Tania??? You look fabulous as always and an inspiration to us all? I turned 60 last week!!(May 7). I spent a beautiful day at the beach, (a favorite place of mine) with my wonderful husband. I’m happy, healthy, grateful & blessed? Cheers to the years! Heres to 60!? xoxo
Cheers to a very happy birthday!! Love the dress – ruffled neckline and all- paired with the fabulous red shoes! Thanks for the tip on the Kendra Scott sale. You make my day!
Happy birthday! I love the dress on you. I’m only a month behind you and I love the way you are embracing turning 60. I agree that it’s so much better than I thought it would be when I was younger.
Raise your glass and CHEERS!!! ?
One of my favorite birthdays was my 50th. Mr. Handsome, our grown children, friends all drove 200 miles to San Antonio (what was supposed to be a quiet getaway for the 2 of us) ended up being a surprise Fiesta on the River. Fun, fun memories!!
They were all good but the first thing that popped into my head was my 25th. I lived in Manhattan back then and my boyfriend (future husband )took me out on the town. We did it all Drinks at top of the Rock, Dinner at Tavern on the Green, a horse and buggy ride then down to Top of the World (WTC). I’ll never forget it. PS I love LashBoost
I just love your blog. My bank account is suffering but it will get over it! I bought a cute snakeskin outfit from walmart from your link. Your pink dress led me to it. I got so many compliments on that outfit!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!!! It’s going to take all day to read all of your nice comments. You look amazing! Tell Emersyn, Melesa thinks your arms look fantastic ;-D Do 60 fun things today. I think I had a skating party on my 9th B-Day and my mom handed out fudgesicles and popsicles…I loved that day!
Happy birthday! This dress looks great on you. The one review on the website say it runs small. Do you agree?
You look beautiful!! I am over 55 and creeping my way to 60 as well. I must admit that I am struggling with accepting myself at a now larger size. Over that last 10 years I have gone from size 4 to a size 6 to now a size 8. I go back and forth thinking that I should just settle into this new size and just try to look my best with it. But then I start getting down on myself and try to figure out a way to drop back into those smaller sizes. Advice?
Happy birthday Tania? 60 looks fabulous on you!
Happy birthday! My 60 was one of the best yet I was thinking it would be awful. My mom fell and was in hospital with brain trauma, so I flew to be with her. The family had planned a party but that wouldn’t be able to happen. I was upset about mom, down about turning 60 and not having a party. But it worked out fine. I actually celebrated 3 times. We (my brother who flew in as well) bought 2 large Costco cakes and we celebrated at moms nursing home and at he hospital. All the staff wished me a great day. Then my cousin took my brother and me out to dinner. Turned out to be a great day…and mom recovered!
Happy birthday beautiful lady!??
Happy Birthday Tania. Have a beautiful blessed day!
Happy Birthday Tania! You look fabulous!
My favorite birthday memory is a surprise bbq party given by my family for my 50th. It was held at a picnic ground by our local lake. My sister made a time capsule of things she collected on eBay from our youth, like “Beer on Tap” shampoo, “Love’s Fresh Lemon” cologne, and a vintage Archie comic book.
PS — I’ll be celebrating my 60th in ten days!
I know you once posted where you got your gold round diamond pendant that you wear alot. Could you post again. I really like it.
Happy birthday Tania! You look fantastic! Age is just a number… you make 60 look great!
Happy Birthday. You make 60 look GREAT! Keep up the great work…given your families longevity. Are you now middle aged?!
Happy Birthday! You look amazing! I love being 47, it has freed me from expectations!
Happy birthday! I’m right behind you — I’m 58. This is a fabulous age; don’t care so much about what others think and am confident in my own skin. You are radiant!
Happy Birthday Tania! May your day be as awesome as you are!!
Happy Birthday Tania! Tomorrow is my birthday but I have have 7 years more than you. Just wanted to let you know that the 60’s are great!
Happ Happy Birthday!!!! You are awesome and you look great too!
Happy birthday! My birthday is on Sunday and all I will say is I am older than you. May people are special so enjoy your day.
Happy 60th Birthday Tania! You look beautiful!
Happy Birthday Tania. Cheers to 60! You look amazing and you’re blog is an inspiration. My sister, son, daughter, and husband threw me a “cheers to 60” party four years ago. It was a hoot. Life keeps getting better and better.
I got the long hot pink Walmart cardigan and styled it fairly close to your post pic and wore it to work today. Compliments galore. It sparked a lot of interest. You should be getting a few more followers.
You look fabulous for any age.
I love this dress with the ruffled neckline! Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Tania! My most memorable birthday was when I turned 40, I had 3 separate parties and the celebrations went on for a month! Hope you have a fabulous day.
Happy birthday Tania!! ???? I love birthdays and my family knows it and always makes it special….. you always look great but I am now an Eliza J fan!! And the Bible verse is perfect for all of us today!!
Happy Birthday! I totally agree 60 isnt old not by a long shot. My birthdays have always been celebrated with a German chocolate cake my mother would make along with my choice of dinner . With 8 siblings birthdays were always family oriented. Still to this day they are.
Happy Birthday !! ? my favorite memory of my birthday is .. after I had lost about 60 lbs and my husband took me out for the day .. we had breakfast out and then went to the mall and he bought me a whole new wardrobe! Was so patient helping pick new styles I would never been able to wear ! I had a blast ! Then we went to my favorite restaurant for dinner ! He was so sweet to make it be all about the new me !! ♥️ I think I’ll keep him ! My 5 year old granddaughter said yesterday.. you must be 70-80 years old …. um thanks ! I am 57 ? it is just a number baby ! You look great and inspire me , thinking well I can’t wear that but .. yep I can ! Thank you !!
Happy Birthday, Tania! You look fabulous, plus you have a young heart and spirit. I am 66, soon to be 67, and I have had some of the best years of my life in my 60’s. I now know what the Golden Years mean. Life is good: I have 3 grandchildren and travel a good bit. I survived breast cancer and I am healthy and well now. Enjoy the 60’s, they are not what they use to be many years ago. I love clothes and wear ankle jeans. Again, wishing you a wonderful and blessed day my friend. 🙂
Happy Birthday Tania ???
Happy Birthday Tania! I love Eliza J dresses and own several. Growing older is a gift and I’ve learned to be appreciative of all my birthdays. I’m hitting 69 in August. When I look in the mirror I think how the hell did my grandmother get here since my reflection reminds me of her!
I turned 60 in August. I am so happy to be alive and well. I feel like I am youthful for my years and blessed. I am a lot less self conscious of my body and looks Than I was when I was younger. I’m embracing the freedom that this age has brought me. Yeah for the next decade. Love your style and advice on beauty!
Happy birthday Tania. Love the dress it looks great on you. I am not a big fan of attention but on my 16th birthday my parents threw me a surprise party. It was really fun. Then last year my husband also threw me a surprise party. He had me totally fooled. It turned out to be great surprise. Live it up today!
Happy Happy 60th Birthday! My last birthday (#52) was probably my most favorite. My boyfriend took me to St. Augustine (my fave place) for a long weekend. Great food, great weather and awesome company – it was so relaxing!
Happy Birthday Tania! I am so jealous because you get better looking as you mature while I just look older! LOL May the next 60 be even more rewarding and happier than the first 60
Happy birthday! ? I once thought 50 meant weekly trips to the beauty parlor for helmet hair and driving the biggest Cadillac on the lot. Boy, was I wrong! You make 60 look fabulous!
Happy Birthday Tania!
You look awesome, as always!
Tania
Happy Birthday 60 looks fantastic on you.
Deb
Happy Birthday, Tania!! You look beautiful! I’ll be turning 60 on June 4th so we are in the same club!
Happy Birthday! 4 years ago I turned 60. In my opinion, 60 is the new 40! Enjoy!
Happiest of birthdays to you! I am so glad I have found your blog! You have the best approach to life and love your outfits -(even if I won’t be wearing the distressed jean look yet).
Have lots of favorite memories. My first that stands out is my first grade birthday party where my Mom invited all my classmates and neighborhood kids and we have tons of outdoor activities including a pony. that might be the last time I was on a horse. My dear friend and i still remember that party as hers was the other epic one that year. She and her twin had a magician at theirs.
There was the surprise party my sweetie threw for me one year after years of me surprising him. Most people thought it was my 40th (it wasn’t but we didn’t correct them – I think it was 43).
Happy Birthday, Ms. Tanya! I’m 67 and weigh less than I did in high school (or any other time of my life)! I exercise every day! Only gets better!
Happy Birthday beautiful lady! You look amazing!
On the eve of my 40 th, my sister and cousin, hung many bras in a tree at the end of our driveway. A big sign hung with them with the words “ Busting out of the 30’s. Honk, Sandi’s 40! My young son at the time was embarrassed to get off the school bus that day, which stopped at the end of our driveway!
Happy Birthday! Have a great day
I do luv that dress on you, and the pop of red.
My best birthdays are when ever I have my family with me.
Happy Birthday!! You look fabulous!
Happy, Happy Birthday, Tania! Like the other ladies, I hope I look half as good as you at 60, beautiful and confident!
My most memorable birthday was spent on vacation at Myrtle Beach a few years ago. As a surprise, my husband arranged for me to have a massage by the hotel pool. However, a storm came through the night before and destroyed the poor lady’s massage table! He treated me to a wonderful mani/pedi instead so it worked out beautifully. I don’t visit the nail salon very often so it was a treat.
It makes me feel a little sad that I couldn’t come up with many birthday memories that stood out. I’m so busy with work and responsibilities that events and special days have passed by me without a lot of thought. I’ll have to remedy that!
Happy 60th Tonya! You look absolutely gorgeous. I’m a long time reader, I think from close to the time you started but I’ve never commented. I feel like we are soul sisters we have so much in common. I just couldn’t pass up today though to wish you a very happy birthday and thank you for your daily message and great style!
Happy birthday Tania! I love Eliza J dresses too and this one is so pretty. My favorite birthday memory would be any of the ones I spent with my parents. They are both gone now and I have to say the day isn’t as special as they always tried to make it for me. Have a great day!
Wishing you a very happy birthday! May you celebrate many more!
Happy birthday. You really don’t look 60. I love your spunk and wit.
My 40th birthday was the one I remember the most. My co-workers hung black ribbon and black balloons in my work space. Made a big deal of my turning 40.
Have a great day.
Marcie
Happy Blessed Birthday, Tania ❤
Happy Birthday Tania, Gurl you do not look 60, You are a gorgeous, classy and especially beautiful woman inside. Love your blog and all your pictures. Enjoy your birthday.
You look so great! 60 agrees with you. Happiest of birthdays and here’s to many more!
Tania, you are beautiful at any age! Happy 60th!!!
Happy Birthday!! You look fabulous!! One birthday memory for me is surprise concert tickets to Neil Diamond..yes I wrote that correctly..lol
Tania, you look beautiful at any age! I also prefer a sheath dress and that one you’re wearing is adorable. I reached your milestone birthday last summer. My 5 children and grandchildren threw me a surprise party about 2 weeks after my actual birthday so I had no suspicion whatsoever. What a wonderful day! Enjoy yours!
Happy Birthday Tania, you look amazing!
I turned 51 in March, during quarantine too. It was just me and my son. I baked myself a cake and a wonderful dinner. Had many phone calls and many great messages. But a memorable one was turning 50. My boyfriend took me on a cruise to Havana, Cuba. That was a blast! A little Cuban rum and maybe a cigar was involved!
Happy Birthday! I still have a couple years to go to reach the tender age of 50, but it’s all good. I realized when I turned 40 I didn’t need to give a rip anymore what people think. I try to do the right thing, I can pay my bills, I adore my husband and I love my family… 40 was a liberating birthday. Can’t wait to see what 50 brings. ? Cheers! ?
Happy birthday, Tania! 60 looks fabulous on you! I really don’t have one birthday memory. I just love when my family can be with me and we go to one of our favorite restaurants. That’s difficult to do these days! Enjoy your special day!
Happiest of birthdays to you! I have just started following you. It is the first post I look for when turning on my tablet. I really enjoy your outlook on life and daily living. I hope you enjoy your special week !
Happy Birthday Tania! You look beautiful! Love the outfit!
Congrats Tania, you look great! Welcome yo the club! I turned 60 in October and am looking forward to an inspiring decade.
Happy 60th birthday. You don’t look a day over fabulous!! ?
What I love about my age and my own journey to 60 in Feb. of 2021 is that the wisdom and knowledge that life has taught me that I can share with the younger women in my circle of influence ?
BTW will you suggest the best swimsuit for mature women ?
Happy Birthday to you! The 60’s are great! (Waiting for our first grandchild in June, and although they live over 700 miles away, you can be sure we will be making trips to spoil him. Just a few years from retirement!)
You look wonderful! I love your fun sense of style and pops of color as well as your honesty.
Best birthday memory? For one birthday my daughter surprised me and flew in for the weekend. I had no idea. Having my daughter here for that birthday was the best.
Celebrate all week and all year! You are worth it!
Happy Birthday Tania. You look great. Love all you outfits. Kathy McClintock
Happy Birthday! I have been enjoying your posts for the last year and when I imitate a version of your style, I always get compliments. 50 is not old and 60 looks great!
Happy Birthday Tania! That dress is beautiful. You sure make 60 look youthful! My daughter got me Phantom of the Opera tickets for my birthday last year and she and I went out to dinner and then to the show. That’s was a lot of fun! Hope you have a great day and please stay well.
You wear it well and I am speaking of your age!! And of course you rock most anything you style. My best birthday memory happens to be when I turned 60 as well. I retired at that time and my boys and their spouses threw a party at the bar. It was a fun, memorable evening!!
Happy Birthday! You inspire me every morning!!!
Happy Birthday Tania! You look beautiful. Have an awesome day
A combination of all my childhood birthdays. My Mom always made it special. From the angel food cake stuffed with coins wrapped in wax paper to my favourite meal. Always special
Happy Birthday ?
Thank you for sharing your life.
Cheers to MANY more?
Happy, happy birthday! Enjoy your day, and may it hold everything you want.
Happy Birthday! I always look forward to your emails each morning! You are beautiful and so youthful for the big “60”. I’ll be there soon myself. Would love to try the Lash Boost!
You don’t look a day over 40! You make 60 look so good! Happy Birthday and know you are blessed!????
Happy Birthday Tania, you look Great !!! I’ll be turning 60 on the 25th . I would like to know what you use on your hair, it looks so Full and Healthy? Mine is getting real thin and seems like I’m loosing more.
Any Suggestions
Two years ago, on my 60th birthday, I was kidnapped by my sister and taken to a surprise destination. Now she had already told me to keep the weekend open on my calendar, but no details were given. The first stop was a really great restaurant where all of the “girls” in the family had congregated. The sister who picked me up, my other sister, my daughter and my daughter-in-law, and the kidnappers two daughters (my nieces). The seven of us had a great meal and then it was off to a cabin they had rented for the weekend in the beautiful countryside of southern Indiana. We had a great time together shopping, doing some wine tasting, eating and laughing…such a special time with the special ladies in my life. It was so much fun!!
Happy Birthday! You look fabulous! I have 4 years to go before I turn 60. Sounds weird cause I too thought that was really old….I don’t feel that old though, especially when my only child is just 17! He keeps us young. My favorite birthdays were when I was young…my parents let me have huge slumber parties with like 16-18 friends! Lots of food, dancing and staying up late. We had a ball!
One of my best birthday memories was my 60th. My daughter and I went for a day and night of pampering at a lovely spa and hotel in Sulphur, OK. So much fun!
Happy Birthday Tania!! You make 60 look fabulous!!
Happy Birthday! You look wonderful! Are your heals really 4”?
Happy birthday, you look fabulous! My favorite birthdays were growing up and having sleepovers and my favorite food,homemade chocolate cake! Have a great day and thanks for lifting us up each day.

Happy 60th Birthday! And welcome to the club!
Happy birthday!! 60 looks great on you! Any birthday I’ve spent with my kids is my favorite. They make any day special. The older I get, the more I don’t care what people think. Such a refreshing way to be!
Happy birthday! You look great and I love reading your posts. Enjoy!
Happy Birthday Tania! My favorite birthday memory/memories were those growing up. My mom always had the family over and made a homemade cake! I hope you have an amazing day!
My best birthday was a trip my husband took me on for my 60th. Grand Cayman. Loved it.
My 60th birthday was spent with 2 great friends in the mountains of North Carolina at a fabulous bed & breakfast. We visited the Baltimore, stayed up talking half the night. My friend Jan flew in from Texas for a few days…we met in kindergarten and have remained friends for all these years. It was a great few days.
Happy Birthday, Tania!
60 is ONLY a number! Think young, keep busy, and with your Grandkids, they will keep you young!
Hope you have a great birthday! Mine is next week so I’ll celebrate all week too! Really need the lash boost so hoping you pull this name! But more than anything hope you have a great birthday! You look great!
Happy Birthday! My favorite bday was my big 5-0.
Spent it in AZ with 4 of my girlfriends, we have been friends since we were born! We all grew up together and have stayed connected since.
Happy Birthday! You look fabulous!
Happy Birthday! You look fantastic!
Happy birthday Tania! Sixty looks good on you! I especially love that you are wearing red shirts to set off your outfit! Enjoy your special day and thanks for helping me with my fashion and beauty!!!
Happy Birthday Tania! You look fabulous and much younger than 60! I’m in my mid 60’s and love it when people say I don’t look my age! Have a wonderful day of celebrating, you deserve it!
Happy Birthday! My best birthday memory was when my twin sister (fraternal) and I were teaching at the same school and our younger sister sent us flowers. I think we had turned 40.
Happy Birthday to you. Enjoy your special day. ????
Happy Birthday Tania! 60 is only a number!!! Enjoy this milestone…. you look fabulous for your age!! Would love to win that lash boost!! lol… it doesn’t seem to be available in Canada!!! ?
Happy Birthday Tania!!! Love the dress, have a great rest of your week!!!??
Happy Birthday!!
Wishing you a very happy birthday, Tania! ??Sixty certainly looks good on you! ? I hope you have a wonderful day filled with all the things you love most! Life is good when you make it good! ❤️
Hi Tania!!!
You are one hot 60 year old!!! Happy Birthday!
You look fabulous at 60! Happy Birthday! Being in my early 50s I’ve learned not to sweat the small stuff. Just like everyone always told me. Looking forward to grand babies and travel!
I love this blog! You look terrific at 60! And I love being in my early 50s. I have no kids at home any longer and i look forward to grand babies. I like being in my 50s because I have the wisdom and experience to know when to worry and when not to..and it is mostly when not to!
Birthday Blessings! You look fabulous! My favorite birthday was a surprise 6th party complete with a poodle puppy!
Happy Birthday! My favorite memory was from last year. I’m in charge of birthday celebrations at work, so as a result, my own birthday usually comes and goes with little fanfare! Word got out that it was my birthday, but no one was in the office. Every single one of my sweet coworkers (26 people) texted me during the day to wish me a happy birthday. Some made videos and sent pictures with signs! It truly warmed my heart!
Happy Birthday!!!! I hope you have a great day and week of celebration. My favorite birthday memory is sitting on the grass with my family and watching fireworks (I’m a 4th of July baby) and my dad telling me that he had arranged it all for me. That everyone was celebrating me! Such a wonderful fib but I felt so loved!!!
Happy Birthday! You look wonderful. My favorite birthday was my 40th. My husband and I spent the day together and he surprised me with a sapphire ring – my birthstone. It was a perfect day!
Love, love, love the dress and shoes today! Perfect way to dress as you enter your sixties. My most memorable birthday was when I turned ten. I recall thinking I am now two digits and felt so grown up! Happy birthday to you!
I remember thinking 60 was old too. Now I see it as a challenge for what can I achieve for this chapter in my life?!?
My fav birthday memory was a ‘surprise’ party my children planned for me last year. Hubby gave it away cuz he knew I’d want to clean the house before all those guests arrived!! He knows me too well. But it was fun having everyone together and it made me feel special that they worked so hard to be so sweet to me.
Darn! I hope I look as good at 60 as you do (not that far from now!). Happy Birthday and thank you for brightening my morning each day when I open my computer and read all that work email!
Happy Birthday! I’ve had a couple of birthdays while vacationing at the beach and they were so fun!
Happy Birthday!!! You are rocking 60!!!!!
Happy Birthday pretty lady and I am over 60 and I’m glad that we aren’t the grandmas with the shawls around our shoulders…just yet anyway. I love that dress because of the higher v-neck collar and because it’s navy! I didn’t get my post done the other day when Emersyn called out your arms because my grandchildren call out the red little spots on my neck and I tell them they are my “grandma spots that show the love that is coming out of me for them”. I think my favorite memory is my 60th and taking our kids and grandkids and spending a couple nights at a hotel. Nothing better for me as I age then family time. Have a fun day!
60 looks very good on you. Your looks always inspire me!
Happy Birthday Tania! ???
You look great! Sixty will hold so many blessings for you. Happy birthdays. Enjoy and eat your favorite cake. Mine is an early memory. I was 10 years old. I received roller skates that year and moma let me have German Chocolate cake for breakfast before school and skate on the carport? This was certainly out of our ordinary morning routine. I smile just thinking about it 54 years later. Every year holds many new memories. Make the most of all of yours.
This is your day, Happy Birthday! You look amazing as usual! Can’t remember the last time I had a dress on. I had a nice birthday a few years ago. My daughter who moved out only a couple of years, invited my husband and I and son to a meal she prepared just for my birthday. I love going out to eat, but the time together with family and what she made was so so special. Great memories!
Happy Birthday Tania! You are fabulous at 60! Hope you have a wonderful day!!!! Two of my favorite birthday memories are Gal
Pal trips to Chicago when I turned 50 and New York City when I turned 60! So many good memories from those trips!!
First of all I want to say you are a beautiful soul inside and out and I look forward to reading your blog every day. My favorite birthday was when my husband had our twin two year olds make a cake for me and video taped the entire process. The cracked the eggs, mixed the batter, sprayed the pans iced and filled the layers….it was a amazing….and priceless. Our girls are an ongoing gift and I mean that in many levels of the word “gift”. We lost twin boys two years prior and almost lost my life during delivery. Two years later my sister gave us the opportunity to try again and carried our beautiful girls. Am thank God every day for helping us through That painful time and for the gift of my sisters selflessness.
We are olde parents on paper…but what I love about my age is I never really think about it. When I am with younger people I feel their age and when I am with older people I fit right in. I never really consider my age until I am filling out an online form and have to spin the thing several times to get to 1966!
Thank you for your daily inspiration!
My best birthday memory was my 30th birthday! I knew my husband had planned a surprise trip for the two of us (we had three children under the age of 3). But the surprise came when we got to the airport. First, he led me to the line for Cancun, so that was exciting, but then I heard someone yell my name. He had brought along my two best friends and their husbands. I couldn’t believe it! We had so much fun!! Needless to say, we brought home a souvenir, our fourth baby…Audrey,!!
Happy 60th Birthday!!
The happiest of birthdays to you, Tania! You do NOT look anywhere near 60 either. I hope that your day is filled with all things happy and wonderful!
My mom and dad always made my birthday special when I was a child. It was always fun! Now I am approaching the big 5-0……
Wish they were here 🙁
Happy birthday Tania? you look amazing! 60 suits you beautifully ❤️ I turned 50 in December and my daughters & I spent the day together & then went dinner with the hubby & family. Family always make birthdays fun?
Happy birthday Tania! You look beautiful. Hope Joe spoils you today!
Happy Birthday Tania!? What a pretty dress! You have helped us be positive, laugh and look pretty and put together. Thank you!
My favorite birthday memory is when
my husband took me on a 2 night Anniversary/Birthday weekend. We went to Winchester Va where my grandmother once lived. (Thankful for the big family and memories) We had fun talking, relaxing going to the mall and the movies. Also my sweet sister in law watched our 6 kids.
Happy birthday! You always look amazing and I enjoy your blog! My favorite memory of my birthday is when my husband and children gave me a surprise 40th! They were even able to hide cars so when I returned home, it did not look like anyone was there and I had a house full of friends and family. So much fun!
Happy )Birthday, Tania! My birthday is close and sometimes on Thanksgiving. It just kinda gets lost in the holiday. Also, I have two older sisters that have birthday in that same week. However, now that we are all retired, we celebrate about a week later together by having lunch at the same restaurant each year and then shopping afterwards. Lots of fun!
You look fabulous at 60. Love the red shoe. EVERYBODY needs a pair of red shoes! Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday! Love your style!
You look gorgeous! For your big day ???My most memorable Birthday was My mom and my sister threw me a surprise 50th birthday party with friends and family they both thought that they had told my husband so he wasn’t there lol
We tried to call me and he out mowing so he didn’t get come.
It was still a fun day. Have a fun day no no matter what you do.
Happy Birthday pretty lady!! Hope you have a blessed day!!!
A very happy birthday to you! Your scripture verse today is especially relevant to your birthday. How wonderful to know that God himself made you on purpose just the way he wanted you to be. He knew you would bring us all a fun and inspirational blog to look forward to each morning. Thank you for that.
A very special birthday to you!! My 64th birthday this past February was my favorite. A close friend surprised me with a day of beauty. We both had our nails and hair done. How fun it was!!
Happy Birthday! You look and act like a youngster. You are beautiful inside and out. Cheering you on to the next 60.
Happy Happy Birthday Tania! Welcome to the club. You look fantastic. Love Moya
Happy 60th Tania!!!! Wishing you every blessing this year. Love this entire outfit. It looks amazing on you!
Happy birthday hope you have a great day ??x
Happy Birthday, Tania!!! You are a natural beauty! And 60 is the new 40, right?!
Now, if I would look that good at 60,i will sign for it straight away!
My favorite birthday memory is last year when I turned 60. My son & my daughter planned a party. They are 24& 25. They had it at a local bar that we frequent, invited all of our friends and family, ordered pizza, wings & beer& had a beautiful birthday cake! We had a blast!!! Best birthday ever!
Happy birthday week! My mama always made my birthday parties amazing, but the one that I most remember was when my grandmother made a six hour trip to play a gypsy fortune teller. She wore a silk, layered, brightly colored dress with tons of bracelets on her arms and legs. Grandma had done some stage work and was very theatrical as she read the crystal ball and tarot cards (saying all good things). When granny was growing up, a Gypsy family lived on her father’s land for a few weeks each year so she had learned enough to seem authentic to us. Hey She had a very real looking parrot on her shoulder who “talked”
to all the children! Watching her spin, dance, and clap her hands was so magical that all the children and parents joined right in. We spun around clapping and laughing until we fell down ?
Happy Birthday Tania! May you have many more. Sixty is certainly young – you look wonderful. Have a great day.
Happy Birthday ?, if this is what 60 looks like sign me up!? Birthday’s have always just been just another day to me, nothing special. The one birthday that was truly special though was the year I turned 30. I had suffered a miscarriage earlier in the year and I was going through a very dark period. I had been feeling very sick for a couple of weeks and my husband suggested that I take a pregnancy test. The test was positive. That birthday brought hope back into my life and eight months later a beautiful baby girl.
? Happy Birthday! You look wonderful! I hope you have the best birthday ever and many more to come! My most memorable birthday was the year my husband and kids planned a surprise 50th birthday party for me. I had absolutely no idea. I will always remember that day.
Love your blog and look forward to reading it every day.
Happy Birthday ?????
Happy #60 Tania! You look stunning. Isn’t it funny the preconceived notions we have about aging? I think in my younger days I would have been shocked to learn that as a 60 yr old Nana I’d be wearing skinny jeans, heals & denim jackets, We won’t even mention the s—. She couldn’t have handled it. LOL.
Love the dress. I’m a fan of Eliza J. I own the Cancun version except mine is navy with bright coral trim. It’s a stunning color combo. This ruffle neck is tempting me because it’s not too ruffled. You make me laugh with the ironing board comment, I’m pretty much the same way. You’ve mentioned it before and lately I’ve been thinking, “yep, Tania nailed it – ironing board it is.” Have a great birthday week.
Happy Birthday Tania! You look youthful and fabulous:) Sixty is young!
Definitely my 50th was fun. My daughters and husband threw me a birthday party at a local hangout. My daughter and her husband had a band at the time. We danced the night away! Fun memories!
Happy birthday Tanya! ?? You are an inspiration to all of us!
