I started introducing you to color. I had no idea that so many of you were living in a black, gray, and navy world. I probably should have known that since I am describing my sister. I love wearing color, and I am not afraid to push the boundaries sometimes. Granted, there have been times when I look back at some of my photos and think, “what in the world were you thinking???”
Bodacious Is The Color For Fall
This photo was in 2015. Things have changed, and yet things have stayed the same. The biggest thing I notice is that I didn’t have any eyelashes back then. Lol!!! Of course, I would notice that. Hahaha!
This photo was back in 2016. I still love wearing a denim jacket with a summer swing dress, but the red highlights in my hair are no longer around. 
As you can see, 2017 was the year that I grew my eyelashes. Lol! I started using lash boost back in October of 2016, and they were starting to get crazy long. The red is gone from my hair, and I’ve started to go more toward the blonde look that I have today. 
Trendy, Fashionable, and over 50
2018 came and went quickly. I loved this outfit, and I still have all of it in my closet. Lol!
A Denim Jacket and Knee High Boots
I must have cut my hair last year, because, in this 2019 photo, it looks pretty short. This is one of my favorite looks since I’ve started blogging. I love the knee boots with the skirt and denim jacket.
I have introduced you to my family and invited you into my life. I hope you have enjoyed being a part of 50 Is Not Old as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you. I look forward to celebrating many more years with you if you will have me.
You know that I have to have a giveaway to celebrate this occasion. Since Kendra Scott is my latest passion, how about the McKenna Necklaceand matching Margot Earrings as a prize? They are what I am wearing in the photo below.

I follow because of the positive vibe of your blog. Started following you around this time last year.
Hello Tania, I am a newer follower. I love your style and fashion. You put a smile on my face every time I read your blog. You are classy and inspirational. I am a Christian too and I love your scriptures at the end of each blog.
Congrats on 5 years! I am a new “gurl!” I’ve only been following around 3 months. I love reading your posts, and I love your style. I hope to come up with a polished yet comfortable style for myself following some of your pointers.
I also appreciate hearing bits of your life, and that you are not afraid to speak of your faith.
Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you and your family!
Happy Anniversary! I have been following you for about one year now. I love your style and have fun shopping your outfits! Like you I buy different colors of the same shirt/sweater. Thank you for all you do. Happy New Year!
you look fabulous, thanks i will be bolder in my dressing!!! i m 51
I’ve been following for a couple of years. You give me ideas and courage to try new styles .
I have been reading your blog for several months. I was happy to find a person close to may age and from what you share about sizes, close to my size also. I love to look stylish on a budget. I enjoy your stories and look forward to seeing your outfits.
I found you on Pinterest about a year ago. I look forward to your blog everyday. Your sense of fashion is perfect for me and you’ve introduced me to affordable fashion at Walmart, which I may not have considered or even known was available. We’re the same age, and I feel as if I’ve found a new friend. :>
One day, I was feeling blue and decided to google what life is supposed to be at 50 something. I do believe it was when you had just began blogging. I can remember seeing you and your mom and sister. You, shared that your sister had just written a book, and it all caught my eye. I like the freshness of you and that you are not afraid to be open and honest about your fears, etc.
There have been many posts from you since I have been following you and times will go by and I will have missed reading them for week(s) and then I will go and binge read them all in one evening.
Just saying, you have been a refreshing twinkle that has truly inspired me to go beyond the fear of life’s hurdles.
Thanks for the wonderful blog. I will be reading your blog until I can no longer see the computer. lol.. and at this rate, the darn eyes are going fast!
And thanks for sharing your life, your makeup tips (I’ve watched some of them twice!), and you make the world a little bit brighter each day!
Sending much love from Napa, California.

Congratulations on your fifth anniversary of blogging. I so look forward to your daily posts and especially love the scripture at the end. I started following several years ago when I wanted to see what other women my age were wearing to stay current and classy! I found that in you and your site. Plus I enjoy your family stories and fun sense of humor. Thanks for inspiring me to strive to be the best that I can be!
Hi Tania! I found you on Pinterest about 2 years ago while searching for fashion for over 50. I love reading your posts each day and I have even started shopping at a few places I hadn’t ever shopped at before! I love your Sunday devotional posts too!
I’m pretty sure I’ve been reading your blog from close to the beginning. I love the way you are so real! Your stories make me chuckle. I love the fact that you like a bargain and most of your clothes are fairly affordable. Thank you for sharing your love for the Lord as well! Take care and God bless!
I am fairly new to following you and love you suggestions. I always come away with some new things to try!!
Love reading your blogs! I found you through a rank & style interview. Love seeing all the old photos. You are great both as a redhead and blonde.
I love your blog! I will be 69 next week, but still feel and act and DRESS like I’m 39, so — your looks help me immensely! Thanks!
I started following you about 4 years ago on Pinterest, and with Plunder. I stopped for a while and recently came back for my fashion ideas.
I can’t remember how I found you, but I liked the title of your blog! I am a survivor of cancer twice, have had a life saving bone marrow transplant where they found ONE person out of almost 5 million people that matched me, and I am alive today because of Gods grace and mercy. I fell into a coma when I got pregnant 10 months after breast cancer treatment,…was transferred to Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit where infectious disease doctor told me they had me on every antiviral, a antifungal and antibiotic they could think of and a day or two before I was going to die, my body just “kicked back in!” I give all the credit to my Lord and Senior, Jesus Christ! He has been with me thru my entire life, protecting and carrying me thru some horrific situations. I lost my baby, but got to travel to Cietnam to bring our adopted daughter home at 7 months, 11 pounds,….when she was a year and a half, we discovered I had a graft versus host disease from the bone marrow transplant. GVHD, as it is called, is when your bone marrow recognizes it’s not in the right body and attacks your tissues. Mine attacked my lungs, giving me 30%! I asked the Lord to let me raise my daughter because she’s already lost contact with her birth mom and shouldn’t lose me too! She is now in 8th grade, and He has preserved me thus far! I love reading your blog and fun ideas for clothes!
I have only been following your blog for about a month. My 50 year old sister-in-law told me about it even though I am 71!! Love, love it! I am retired from a professional job and dressed up each day but now my wardrobe is much more casual. But I still want to look nice and in style! So that is what is so fun about following your site!
Congrats on 5 years! I’m a newbie as I have only been following you for about six months, about the time our lives changed because of Covid. Your blog gave me something to look forward to each day of quarantine. I lost 55 lbs in 2019 and I’ve enjoyed your posts to help me restyle my wardrobe. I also love my R&F products!
Hi! I’m new to your blog, started this summer! Our style is a lot alike❤️ I LOVE Chico’s, Target and Kendra Scott! I started noticing I was missing some great pieces from Chico’s when I would see you wearing an outfit that I loved! And I would go back and click on it…..and wonder how I missed something so cute! Kendra Scott has become another obsession that I’ve had to curb myself back from ha! I was getting a package almost every day, and the hubs started noticing???? But I enjoy you blog and read during my quiet time, before my grandkids get here in the morning!
I have been following you since early this year and must tell you I love your style and I’ve done quite a bit of shopping too. Lol. Congratulations on 5 years of doing such an amazing job helping us all with our style
Issues. I so love reading your blog every single morning. You put a smile on my face each day.
I pull your post up 1st thing each morning, I love to see what you’ve put together and make it seem so effortless! Your Joe stories crack me up, it seems he is like so many of our husbands! ????
Thank you for doing what you do and here’s to many more years!
I found you originally on Pinterest and noticed over time that I pinned lots of your looks so I began to follow! I’m also an R and F girl (how about our new Brow enhancement formula?❤️) so of course that sisterhood immediately made me love you even more. Your looks are classic, yet fun and I kind of feel like you could just be my neighbor, over for a cup of coffee and some laughter.
What an inspiration you are to me! Thank you for all you do. I read your blog everyday before getting up; what a great way to start my day!!
Congratulations on 5 years. I have been following your blog for a little over a year now. I enjoy your down to eathness and show how we can be budget friendly and still look great. God bless.
I’m so glad I followed your suggestion and became one of the girls! I enjoy your daily email and love your style! ~Tammy
I don’t know how long I’ve been following you…maybe 2 years? I think I stumbled on you from Cindy Spivey’s blog. I enjoy reading your thoughts each day and seeing what fashion combos you come up with!
Happy anniversary! I love hearing stories of your family and get lots of outfit ideas and inspiration. Thanks for adding scripture and I love reading your Sunday posts!
Congratulations on your successful blog!
What an amazing 5 years for you! Congratulations! I’ve read your blog daily for several years and love the time it saves me. I can see a look you’re rocking and simply click the link, have it for myself in a few days without having to do the shopping. Thank you!
I have been following your blog since 2016 when I was home recovering from surgery and cancer treatment! I’ve purchased many fashion items that you modeled and joined the jewelry club! My favorite part of your blog is your spiritual comments! Thank you for being true to your trust in God????
I’ve actually loved your fashion style for several years on Pinterest. Just this past week I’ve discovered and joined your blog. I love it! Congratulations on stepping out of your routine and creating this fun and informative blog! My first email from you was your 5 year anniversary day!
I love your style. Love your humor! Reading your blog has definitely improved my wardrobe or maybe expanded it to trying different pieces together when before it was only whatever I bought as an outfit stayed together. Thanks for all your hints and ideas! Love you!
I found your blog through Pinterest 4 years ago and I love it! Congratulations on 5 years!!
