HOW TO WEAR TIE-DYE WHEN YOU’RE OVER 40
Saturday is here, and it is time for a little R & R. I have plenty of pick up and straighten up things to do, but I feel the need to relax and rest taking over. It was not too much of a battle, I am easy. Lol! I did manage to pick up a small amount outside yesterday, but there is soooo much that needs to be done, it is overwhelming. I guess I need to start eating the elephant one bite at a time. (Old Joke)
So, thanks to Deborah, I just found out yesterday that when I have been placing a link to the plunder jewelry, that I have not been getting credit if you placed an order. Those of you who emailed me with your orders, I fixed them, so I did receive the credit. However, if “you” placed an order directly through the plunder website, it has not been giving me credit. Deborah mentioned that she bought a couple pieces yesterday, but they never showed up on my website. I called customer service, and sure enough they found the order. They were able to fix the problem, but I would have no idea if anyone else ordered anything. If you placed an order, would you please email me at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com and let me know the order number if you still have it. If not, then your name and approximate date of order will work. In the future, I learned to have you go to http://www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens to place an order. When you are checking out it should show my consultant number (241007), and it will ask if there is a party associated with the order. Click the arrow, and my party will show. I guess my learning curve is still curving. Haha
Now, on to today’s look, tie-dye. Tie-dye is one of this year’s big trends, but can us ladies over 40 still jump on the band wagon? Of course the answer is yes! I believe we can wear most trends, it is a matter of how. I am not trying to look like I am in my twenties, no one is going to be fooled. But, I still want to be relevant and current in my styles. I loved this dress the minute I laid my eyes on it. I was not as sure if I would be able to wear the dress, because it is a slinky material which sticks to every bulge and bump. I think the reason it works, is because the material is thick. The dress is by Grace Elements, but I can’t remember where it was purchased.

I have a close-up of my Chloe & Isabel earrings and necklace. These are the perfect bling addition for your outfit.
The white fringe cover-up is from Classy Closet, a little boutique in the neighboring town. It was purchased in early spring and is no longer available on their site.

Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us, l appreciate your courage in sharing some of your vulnerabilities, You come across as warm and real, like a best girlfriend. You have inspired me and now I enjoy getting dressed and leaving my house more than I would have thought possible. Losing about 50 lbs has helped too. I feel like I have found one of the better parts of myself again. Thank you for that.
I love this comment. It is fantastic to have lost that much weight!!! Congratulations!!!
I can’t figure out out how to add a pic in the comment section, burn I broke my ankle and am rocking a tie dye cast, and I am over 40!
Tania, in the last week or so you have appeared to “glow” in your photo! Did you change makeup or change the lighting for your photos? Your eyes are so sparkly!
No, I haven’t changed anything other than trying to use the Rodan and Fields everyday morning and night. It is actually supposed to brighten your complexion.? Thanks for noticing!!!
Well, it’s working!
Thank you for this post! I have the same dress purchased at Belk last summer and even though I love it, I rarely wear. I now can get a similar cardigan! Love your blog!
First of all, I like ya new hairdo. Second, I am not usually a fan of tie-dye….but, you’ve pulled it off. And lastly…..how do you get your images so sharp for the web?! I gotta know.
I have the same Plunder necklace. I just wanted to add something about the locket. You can add some essential oils to a small piece of felt and put it in the locket.
You look great by the way!!
I agree with you that trends can/should transcend age and it’s a matter of how you apply the elements of the trend that makes it a hit or miss for your personal style. Your dress is stunning and the first thing that grabs my attention is the color combo, not the tie-dye effect and that’s what makes it so perfect for you.
