WHAT TO WEAR WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS
What an absolutely beautiful day we had on Friday! That is how Fridays should always be, bright, warm, and sunny. I left work early to go over to Willowbrook Country Club and take pictures of a golf tournament they were having. Joe took Willowbrook as his project a couple years ago and has become the course manager. It is a gorgeous place with lush greens, ponds, and it is surrounded by mountains. I love going with him in the afternoons and just riding in the cart, it is so peaceful and quite.
However, it was not quite or peaceful Friday. The tournament was full of law enforcement from all over the county and surrounding counties. My Energizer Bunny Friend was supposed to be the “beer” girl and I was the photographer. We had some actual business to take care of before we could go over so we were running a tad bit late. By the time we got there they were almost finished and probably thirsty. Lol! Men are funny creatures! When two women come riding up in a golf cart, they just beam!! We, of course, gave them a hard time, joking and harassing them, and then made them pose for a picture. I tried to get some pictures that I could use against them if they ever pulled me over for speeding but they wouldn’t fall for that. Hahaha
Since it is Saturday, I thought you might enjoy seeing how I dress on a typical Saturday. I am sure I am like many of you when I say that you will find me in a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Now that it is getting warmer it won’t be too much longer before the jeans are retired and shorts take their place. This is just a simple gray t-shirt but it is a woman’s cut. If you wear a man’s cut then you will look more like a box because they have no shape. I know some of you are saying that you don’t want your “rolls” showing and neither do I. Wearing a shirt that is too big for you makes you look bigger than if you wear a fitted shirt that even shows a roll or two.
If I am running around the house on a Saturday then I am probably not in full jewelry mode. This is what I look like when I “leave” the house. I put on jewelry and lipstick and then head out the door. The earrings and necklace match and there is also a bracelet that I have ordered but it hasn’t come in yet. You can purchase any of these separately or as a set which will save you 4.00. The earrings are the Aubrey and the necklace is called the Sookie. That reminds me of an old HBO show that we watched until it got too weird called True Blood. It was about vampires (I am not sure when I thought it got too weird) and Sookie was the main characters name. I love all the fringe that hangs from this necklace and it is perfect to wear with a v-neck or a crew neck. How do you like this bracelet? It looks like a belt with the way the latch closes. You would think that you latched the bracelet when you put it on but it is another one that has elastic and it just slips over your wrist. This is called the Sampson.
The longer necklace might be adding too much. What do you think? I tend to layer my necklaces and bracelets so I like a lot of items but if you are not comfortable you can leave off one. It is all about choices, you take what you like from my outfit and make it your own. This necklace is called the Ava and it is very blingy. The pendant and the three large stones on both sides of the chain are rhinestone. My Wanda bracelet is also on an elastic band for easy on and off. I never thought about it until Becky mentioned it in a comment that the elastic type bracelets were great for those with arthritis. I have opened a new party so make sure that you are shopping under tania11. Some of you have asked about how I store my jewelry and I thought I would show you what I just bought. I love this over the door organizer. I needed this large one because I have so much jewelry.
Just a pair of skinny jeans that I rolled up to have a cuff is my choice today. This is a pair by Earl Jean that I bought at TJ Maxx. I love this pair because they have a lot of stretch in them. The bad thing is that when you sit down you have to constantly pull them back up because they slid down. The woes of wearing stretchy jeans. Lol!
I chose a pair of t-strap navy sandals because this is just my run around town outfit. These are super easy to get on and take off. I am really into ease right now. I hate when I have shoes to put on that the buckle is super hard to close and you are twisted in all kinds of positions trying to fasten them. This is a pair by Tommy Hilfiger and I will wear them all summer long with almost anything. They go great with pants, shorts, or dresses.
How do you like my new pose? Lol! I may have to start using this one more often because it hides my tummy area. Hahaha!
I didn’t tell you gurls because I have a hard time patting myself on the back. And really it is all because of you that have trusted me with your faces (that is a big trust) and have placed orders through me with Rodan and Fields. I was the #1 consultant for Rodan and Fields in a group of over 500 consultants last month!!!! What a RODANniversary month it was! So, to celebrate I offered Lash Boost for 135.00 plus tax and I pay the shipping. Also, because I am placing an order for myself, I will be ordering some Sunscreen which is normally 26.00, but I will offer it for 23.00 plus tax. You just need to let me know because I will be placing the orders on Sunday. I love, love, love this company! I can not brag enough about it.
If you want to know more about R+F and the business then you need to join me Sunday night at 8:00 pm EST for about 30 minutes. I will show you what the company can do for you, even if that is only how to get the best discounts for just yourself. Download a free app called ZOOM and hit the Join A Meeting button. Type in 736 578 7052 and just for joining me I will send you a FREE microdermabrasion paste packet.

You are so cute! I always look a wreck while running errands. LOL! You inspire though. Thank you!
I love how you can get such a put together look for jeans and tee by adding accessories. My question is this: what is the nail color you are wearing? I love it and have been looking for something like it. Thanks for your posts. Enjoy them thoroughly!
I don’t know the nail color name, Sherry. The nail salon changed brands and I can’t see the names anymore.
Love this – at first I thought the t-shirt had a lace insert, then I put on my glasses! My life and job do not require much more than jeans and a t-shirt so I like seeing this to dress it up. I am truly inspired by your site and so glad I found it! I will be turning 50 this fall and have been struggling a bit and especially as mentioned above, my life doesn’t require much in the way of a wardrobe so I’ve gotten to the point that I hardly know anything else. Since I’ve been following your posts, I’ve been inspired to branch out – I even bought a swing dress from Old Navy although I’m still not quite sure about it! -thank you!
Kristi, you just need to give the swing dress a chance. It is my go-to when I am in a hurry, super fast to get dressed and super comfortable.
LOVE the shoe choice but I have such trouble finding this style in wide 🙁
Look great! What an easy outfit we all have. The jewelry takes it from ordinary to a really put together look. ?
Very cute at home and errands outfit!
I loved that show. It was a summertime guilty pleasure. But your right it started getting to weird so I stopped watching too. Love your blog,cute outfit.
One of my favorites that you have put together .. put together nicely but comfortable as well .. love it
Wow, congratulations on being R&F’s #1 consultant out of 500! That’s huge!! I placed an order through your consultant page the other day… I am determined to have eyelashes like yours! You may have to advise me in the future how I can afford more R&F products on a regular basis because of the expense, though. Have a great weekend!
I saw that Kim. Your lashes are on the way!!! The great thing is that you can delay your replenishment shipment until you want something. I send out emails the first of the month with instructions on how to edit your cart and on how to delay the shipment. There is never any reason to order something you don’t want or need.
Tania, that is so good to know. Thank you!
I need that jewelry organizer. Where did you get it?
Also I ordered the hydration serum from you and love love love it. Already getting compliments and that’s the only thing I’ve changed so far. I use it in my hands too. I also ordered a skincare set. Will start that on Sunday night so I can keep track of the schedule more easily. I’ll take pics and let you know how it goes. Congrats on your accomplishment with r+f!!????
WOW! Leslie, that is awesome!!! If you click on the organizer link it will take you directly to where I purchased mine. I can’t wait to hear all about your results once you start the entire regimen.
Woohoo!! Congratulations to you, beautiful, smart, successful lady!! That is quite an accomplishment! I do love the lash boost and have been using it about 6 weeks and my eyelashes, tho still very sparse, are a bit longer and I like the way they look with mascara. The outfit makes you look very tall and thin too. I thank God for your blog and look forward to it everyday!
Congrats on being the #1 consultant!
Thanks, Maxine. I am placing your order today!!!
Congratulations on your recent number one status. I love your new pose. You look sassy and cute.
Hahaha! Thanks, Carole!
I have the same jewelry organizer and I love it! Holds a lot!
Cindy, if I keep buying it looks like I might need to buy another one. Lol!
Where did you get it?? Please help a girl out
Hi Tania,
I’m new to your website and following, but I’ve really enjoyed everything that I’ve read so far.
I couldn’t help replying to you after reading your comment or difficulties with the skinny jeans. I’ve always had a difficult time finding a pair or jeans, let alone pants that fit me or that I felt comfortable in.
I recently found that I like the fit of jeggings or dress pants that are similar to the cut of jeggings. I really like the fit that I’ve found from Vera Wang, from Kohl’s. I’m usually able to find what I want on sale there or can use a coupon or discount to lower the original price of an item.
Sincerely,
Sue
I have several things from Kohl’s be Vera Wang and I love her styles. Once you find something that works for you just stick with it. Thanks for following my crazy blog.
I am not getting how to layer necklaces! Do you have a post about this? You look so put together all the time. I don’t want to look like a fortune teller when I go out! Help!
Melanie, that made me laugh. I dressed as a fortune teller for Halloween one year and I am pretty sure that is when Joe was hooked. I cast a spell on him. Lol!!! I need to do a post on layering necklaces and stacking bracelets. Thanks for the inspiration.
Please do a post on layering necklaces
Hi Tania , you’re a woman after my own heart ! I love to do my hair and makeup and put on some jewelry even to do chores . You look so pretty even casually dressed . I loved True Blood in the beginning and then had to stop watching , It got really dark and demonic and as a Christian I couldn’t continue watching it . I have a question for you . Do you know of a good cover up for varicose veins ? I’m saving up for laser surgery but until then I need something , I’m really tired of wearing long pants in the summer . Congratulations on being the # 1 consultant !
That is exactly how I felt about True Blood too. It just went too far for me to watch. I don’t know of anything to do for varicose veins. My friend has really bad ones so I know what you mean. HOWEVER, wear shorts if you want. She wears shorts all the time and I promise you that no one cares. These are just legs and everyone has them. Do you see all the dark spots on my legs? They show up even worse because I wear sunless tanner and it “grabs” on the rough patches. But, so what!!! I don’t care, they are my legs and if someone doesn’t like the looks of them then they can look in a different direction. Never let others have a say in how you feel about yourself.
Congrats on being the #1 consultant last month! I am patting myself on the back for helping you! Lol. I just got my Reverse regimen in the mail and started my first day. Can’t wait to see the results. ? I am seriously thinking about ordering the lash boost. I also just bought the mascara that you use and I really like it. Thanks for all the advice and recommendations! I really needed it.
Oh, and you are so right about the t-shirts. I put on a plain white t yesterday that I bought a few months ago at Kohl’s. It stretched and bagged as the day went on and I was not happy with it at all. It was a cheapie, so I guess I got what I paid for. Lol. I am going to invest in some better t-shirts, and wear some of those cute little vests and kimono’s to hide my rolls. ?
I love your blog Tania! Thank you for your fashion and beauty advice!
Yes, you helped me, Carri! ? Reverse is my first love!!! You should see results in about 2 weeks if not sooner. You will love the lash boost. I am amazed at how much my lashes grew.
Tania, good Morning, I sent you a message last night concerning Roden and Fields anti aging. I want to place an order but I want to make sure of what I am ordering the first time. Just let me know. Thanks. Dianne
Dianne, I just sent you an email. I didn’t get anything from you last night. Can you just re-send it by replying to my email? That makes twice that someone has said they sent me an email and I didn’t get it. Thanks for letting me know.
I love how you take a simple t-shirt and make it look fantastic! I loved the outfit yesterday but couldn’t find the top! That organizer is really cool and I might have to get that!
Congratulations on being #1 consultant! Quite an achievement. You look great and younger than ever and always pretty even on Saturdays!
Patrice, same here. I recently retired as well. I don’t want to look/feel sloppy everyday. Love the stylish casual wear! And the jewelry!
You make jeans and a t-shirt look so fabulous. I’m going to try to work it today as we are driving 3 hours to Columbus for a wedding. I want to be comfy for the drive but look respectable if we have to make a stop. LOL. BTW — I loved yesterday’s outfit as well but didn’t sit down long enough to post. I’m buying coral this year too! Thanks for sharing
Just adding jewelry makes a huge difference. It makes the most casual outfit look nicer!
When you comment on your jewellery, each piece has a name, do I take it these are from a particular brand, if so what is the company called please as I’d like to place an order for the long necklace etc.
Helena, all my jewelry is normally from Plunder Design. That is a brand that I now sell and they name each of their pieces with a name from someone they know. If you click on the highlighted names it will take you to the website. I appreciate it if you make sure it says that you are shopping under Tania Stephens before you check out if you make a purchase.
So cute. I just retired at the end of last year and am struggling with everyday wear. I wore mostly dresses, skirts and slacks when working….law firm attire. Not enough casual in my wardrobe as a result so am gonna have to step and make some changes in my wardrobe and this look is a good start for me.
