HOW TO WEAR THE DISTRESSED LOOK OVER 50

If you know me at all then you know that I don’t believe in coincidences. I don’t think that things happen randomly. I think that there is always a reason that something is placed in your life. I especially feel like that when it comes to people I meet. I find myself wondering all the time why someone has entered my life or why someone has been removed from my life. There are so many of you readers that I now feel a connection with and I can’t help but believe it is for the betterment of myself as well as it is for you. I have so many new ladies in my life that encourage me, challenge me, support me, and make me want to be a better person. It is hard to believe that people you might not have ever met have such an impact on your life. None of this is a coincidence, every one of you is here, reading this blog, for a reason. And here you just thought you stumbled upon my blog because you were looking for a change in your fashion. You didn’t know that you were instead here to be a blessing to me. ?I know some of you are not wild about anything distressed but I absolutely love this sweatshirt. This makes wearing a sweatshirt super fashionable. At this time wearing a sweatshirt with paint splatters and stains is not fashionable but just wait until next year because that could always change. Lol! When I bought this top they had two colors, this dark olive green (I know it looks brown) and a mustard colored one. I debated and debated and then finally I bought this one. And the other one too. Lol!!! This came from my local boutique and if you are interested you will need to call or text her because her website does not get updated. Here is the information:

I couldn’t adjust the color where it would show the true color of the shirt. It is really the olive green color like it looks in this photo.  Here is your first look at some of the new fall jewelry. This was some of the items that came in my fall stylist kit that I ordered but I recently placed an order for more items. I love dangling carrots (jewelry carrots) in front of your nose. Lol! This necklace is called the Dallas. It is versatile in the fact that it can be worn long or short plus there are so many different colors that it will go with almost anything. The Fiona bracelet is not something you normally would wear but I admit that it is growing on me. I do like all the colors and all the different textures. The Farlan earrings have a 2.5″ drop and look how cute these are. These earrings are fun! They remind me of I Dream of Jennie, don’t ask me why. The new leather bracelet is this month’s Plunder Posse.  Even if you don’t love leggings you have to love these leggings. The colors are so “fall” and I will get lots of wear out of them. I know for sure that the sweatshirt in mustard that I bought will also match these. I have a long maroon cardigan that I know will look fabulous with these leggings.

Neutrals have their place in your fall wardrobe. I bought these the other day at the outlet store, they are by Marc Fisher. The suede ankle boots have fringe details and a 3.5″ heel. I normally wear a size 9 but these are an 8.5 and they are okay.

I love getting messages like this. This came in an email last night:

“Today a lady at the front table called me over at the break. She asked me what kind of makeup I use on my face because it was glowing and looked great. I wear no makeup… no foundation or blush. No one has ever asked me what makeup I use or what mascara I use. Never! It is obviously the products.”
