TRYING NEW THINGS WHEN YOU ARE OLDER

How many of you have seen other bloggers do those “try-on” posts? Those are posts where they go to a couple of stores, and they try on several different outfits, and then show all of us what they tried on. They make posts like that look so easy and like a lot of fun. So, I decided to try to do one of these types of posts, even though I HATE trying on clothes when I am shopping. Let’s say that it was an epic fail!!!
First off, those dressing rooms are tiny. Secondly, taking a picture with one hand while looking into a mirror is an art that I have not mastered. Third, it is hard trying to keep makeup from getting on the clothing. Fourth, your hair takes a beating with all of the putting tops on and off constantly. And, fifth, when I got home and looked for the items on the website, some of them weren’t even there. This try-on post was probably a two-fer…the first and the last time that I will try doing that. These photos were taken after I got back home and I look like I have been “rode hard and put up wet.” For those of you not from the south, that is a term that refers to a horse, but that is precisely how I felt after the experience. Hahaha!
Oh my stars, I love this muted leopard print cami! It is so feminine with the neutral coloration, and I feel that this look might be something that you might like better than the brighter traditional leopard print. I love anything different, and this feels “fresh” for the lack of a better term. It feels modern, contemporary, and current. This top is made from 100% polyester for a soft feel, and it is lined so that no peep shows will be happening. Lol! Also, because of the length of this top, you can wear it loose or choose to tuck it in your pants or skirts. This cute top is excellent to wear by itself or layered so that it will be a seasonless item. It is an excellent buy for under 18.00, so click here to get yours. BTW, I am wearing a large for sizing purposes.
This is the same necklace that I wore in yesterday’s post, and I tried to get a better photo of the pendant for you. But, once again, I think that I might have failed in my attempt. The Shannon pendant has a silvertone screen set in a goldtone setting which makes it easier to mix and match gold and silver jewelry together. This is a longer necklace that measures between 34 and 37 inches. I am stacking my bracelets today since I haven’t been doing a lot of that lately. I added the Rochelle leopard cuff bracelet, the Lelani gold link bracelet, and the bracelet that was part of this month’s Posse Plunder set. I have ordered in a large box of the new spring collection, and I hope it comes in today. I can’t wait to see it in person myself, and I know that you want to see me wearing it for reference.
The leopard print top matches my favorite gray pants from Old Navy. These are mid-rise skinny jeans, and they are my favorite pair of jeans that I own. I don’t know if it is the fit or the color that I like so much, but I love these jeans. They are still on sale, so be sure to grab a pair while they are available. Here is the link to the jeans. I added my gold Natalya mules by Sam Edelman since I had on gold bracelets. And also since I have on tan clothing. I like these slip-on shoes, they are comfortable to wear, and they match almost anything. They come in several different colors, but here is the link to the gold pair.
