TWISTED KNOT DETAILS ARE SLIMMING
I spent all day long traveling on Wednesday. I am a multi-tasker and it drives me crazy to only do one thing at a time. So, while Energizer Bunny Friend drove the car I worked on the blog. I cropped and edited the photos, unloaded them, and then wrote today’s post all while traveling down 1-40 at a fairly rapid pace. Lol!
After the post was done then I moved on to calling some of my partners to tell them about all the exciting news that was announced at the event we went to. I love talking to these ladies and even though most of us have never met in person, I feel like I know them and I love talking to them on the phone. I love that the blog has enabled me to have so many new friends that I would never have ever met otherwise. The internet is a wonderful thing. It is amazing how people from all over the world can talk to each other so easily. It used to freak me out a little when I would think about people that I didn’t know looking at my blog and now I totally embrace that. And, I especially love it when you make comments because that gives me an insight into your life.
On yesterday’s blog, I wore a jumpsuit and several of you commented that you wear maxi’s instead of jumpsuits. So, I decided to wear a maxi today. They are so easy to wear and really, really comfortable. I know a lot of petite ladies feel like they can’t wear a maxi but I promise you that you can. You just need to buy one that is for a petite person and wear heels if you feel like you still need extra height. This maxi has a flattering twisted knot detail that is placed high on the dress. The v-neck plus the knot detail is very slimming. I love the details at the bottom of the dress. I think that the detail at the bottom of the dress is what makes this dress stand out from the pack. This maxi is by Eliza J and it is machine washable.
These Sydney hammered gold hoop earrings with the blue fringe are so cute and striking. They have a 3″ drop and these are truly statement earrings! Fringe earrings are really HUGE this year! The Mary Ellen bracelet is so cute. It is in a gold-tone and it has a very easy clasp. But, it is the fringe that makes it so cute. I have a simple little gold bar monogrammed necklace called the Jefra. The Celine monogram chain bracelet is no longer available. May is my 2nd year anniversary with Plunder and I am celebrating all month long. When you make a 50.00 purchase (excluding taxes and shipping) you will receive a FREE piece of jewelry from me as a gift! Join me in the business of Plunder Design this month and I will gift you 2 pieces of jewelry. Go to plunderdesign.com/taniastephens and hit the shop tab. Pick a party with my name on it and then have fun.
I added a platform shoe to my look to make sure that my dress didn’t drag the ground. I hate it when my dress is too long and I keep stepping on it.
I would love to have everyone shout out where you are reading this post from. What part of the world are you in and HOW did you ever even find me. After all, I live in a tiny little town in Southwestern Virginia. What were the odds of you ever finding me?

Beautiful from Northwest OH, love the maxi dress!
I live in a suburb of Houston, in the great state of TEXAS. But I grew up in a small town about an hour south of Houston. I found you through a google search for ideas to update my wardrobe. Pretty sure you’d only been blogging about 2 weeks. And, I knew immediately that if we lived near each other, we’d probably be getting into some kind of “trouble” together. LOL I was searching that day b/c, even though I come from a long line of Southern Divas, I wanted some direction. I want to stay fashionable but don’t want to look like I’m trying to compete with my daughter…one, I would never do that, b/c “not classy,” and two, she’d win. She’s adorable, if I do say so myself.
I like this a lot but I’m so short that I would have to cut a lot of the pretty design off at the bottom. I can’t wear heels. It looks really good on you though!
I love the dress! Because of you I think I’m going to be brave and try a jumpsuit…eek! I’m from Arroyo Grande CA. I first saw you on Pinterest looking for fashion for the over 50 crowd
I’m in the Land of Lincoln, Illinois. Found your blog after Googling fashion over 50. I’ve stayed reading your blog because of your funny, down to earth personality!
I live near Kelowna, BC in Canada and don’t remember for sure how I found your blog but I think I googled fashion for women over 50. I read your blog with my morning coffee and appreciate your honesty, humor and your Sunday posts.
Enjoy your blog and I live in Spring, Texas. Maxi is great for our hot summers but going to look for one with sleeves. These ol’ arms are out of shape – 75 years young and still a tad bit vain! I love your nail polish color. Do you mind sharing brand and color? Thanks for being a style maven!
Greetings from Louisville, Ohio population 9,000! I found your blog after I noticed you on Pinterest and admired your fashion plus I love your hairstyle♡
Hi, I live in Wausau Wisconsin and found you on pintrest. Love the dress.
I live in Arizona and found you on Pinterest. Such a pretty dress, and the color is gorgeous on you!
