HOW TO WEAR THE TWIST HEM
I have never been so glad to see a Saturday than I am today. I am flat out exhausted from work. Who invented work? They need to be hung up by their heels or maybe tarred and feathered. Lol! I keep telling Joe that I need to retire and he keeps telling me “no.” He says that I would miss all the interaction with the public and the people at work. I think I could overcome my disappointment by laying out by the pool. Hahaha!
All kidding aside, how do you gurls that are retired get used to not going out to work? Do you miss getting up and getting dressed? Do you still even bother to put on makeup? Joe is using my blog against me by saying I NEED to get dressed every day and that I NEED to put on makeup every day. I never dreamed that the blog that I started so I could eventually retire could keep me from retiring. Lol! I need a good argument to use against Joe. Help me retire gurls, work is killing me. This is where you rub your thumb and your pointer fingertips together and tell me that it is the world’s smallest record player playing “My Heart Bleeds For You.” Hahaha!
I could see me wearing this type outfit even if I was retired. This is PERFECT for a lazy day of running errands, cleaning the house, paying bills, going grocery shopping, you know, all the things we do all the time. I love this top and I just bought it yesterday. Talk about unique details, it has 3 things going for it. I bet all of you already know what I am going to say. The cold shoulder detail, the tie-dyed detail, and the new twist hem detail are all current trends. This shirt is by Carole Christian and I bought it at a little boutique in town. They had this colour and another one that had pink with green accents. That one reminded me of a watermelon. I decided to go with the one that reminded me of a sunset instead.
Today I had a gentleman ask me if I paid extra for all the holes in my jeans. Of course I did, they had to pay someone a lot of money to wear these out for me. Lol! I know the distressed jeans are not everyone’s favourite look but I am loving this pair from Sneak Peek. I bought these at the same little boutique in town and I know she had several pairs still in stock. The website is never up-to-date so just email her or call the number to see if she has your size in stock. I also linked to some that I found on the web just in case she sells out.
I want to thank all of you who asked questions about R+F for me. Every time you ask a question it makes me learn something new. I love expanding my knowledge about the company and the products. I am going to ask you do something else for me. I am going to ask you to give me your objections. Tell me what is holding you off from trying the products or from joining me and the doctors in business. Most consultants HATE when people tell them their objections but I look at it as an opportunity. It is an opportunity for me to grow and an opportunity for you to learn. I consider that a win-win. Speaking of winners, the winners from the comments on Thursday are Janis and Roberta. I will be emailing you to get your address for the mini-facials.

Do you know what my number one referrer page is? It is Pinterest! I truly appreciate every time you “pin” a picture. Heck, pin ALL the pictures if you want. Lol! Also, if you would like to share my posts on Facebook or Twitter, I would appreciate that. It helps get my blog out to more people, and I am sure you just want to spread the entertaining sayings I have. Lol! The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.

Great outfit. So cute! Wish my figure could carry it but not at the moment.
I’m right there with you wanting to retire! By God’s grace, I will be 60 in August and hope to find way to survive on social security at 62 and working part time. I’ve been telling my husband for years that’s the plan assuming he will work until 67. So far, he agrees! Having a few free days every week to volunteer at church more and at a no kill cat shelter is on my heart.
Most of us have worked from age 16 till now…. That’s a long time. Being optimistic about retirement/semi-retirement plans is a great place to be! Keep working on Joe. Just don’t retire from blogging!
Hi Tania, love your blog but object to multi-level marketing.
Jan, I love this objection. It is all in the way you look at something. Avon and Mary Kay are MML’s but because they have been around for so long people don’t seem to associate them with being a direct sales organization. I, on the other hand, love MML’s and DS because it is real life people trying to make a living. I would much rather let them make the profit than I would Wal-Mart. When you think of it, isn’t Wal-Mart just another DS? They don’t manufacture the products, so they are selling products made from other companies.
I wanted to skip right down to the comment section when I saw this look. I love everything about it and you are rock in it gurl!!!!
When you buy SneakPeek jeans, have you found this brand in Misses sizes or are you having to buy Juniors sizes (5, 7, 9, 11, 13)? If so, how is their fit compared to Misses? I have only seen SneakPeek jeans in Junior sizes. Thank you!
I retired 3 yrs ago, former airline employee.
1)yes, I miss the interaction plus I really enjoyed my job (took a buyout) but more importantly…
2)I dress and do my hair & makeup every single day (although no longer in a uniform!). How I look, whether it’s to the public, my animals, or myself matters. ?
Laney, you are my kind of gurl!!! I think when you look good you feel better about yourself. That is just my opinion. When I am not dressed then I feel slouchy. When I put on clothing that looks good, it doesn’t have to be dressy, I have more of a spring in my step.
Ahhh, Tania, you look adorable 🙂 I’m not one for tie-dye anything but I must admit your top looks really charming.
Sheelah, I am just now coming around to the tie-dye look myself. I think it depends on the colours.
I would love to retire, but I have a long way to go! My excuse for not accomplishing tasks on the weekend is “I work all week. I just want to relax.” I wonder what my excuse for laziness will be 13 years from now? Regarding R&F, my objection would be that I could find something comparable cheaper. Love your blog!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to find a QVC liquidator in my area 🙂
I use the “work all week” excuse too. Lol! I LOVE your objection because that is an easy one. The truth is that you can’t. You can find cheaper that is for sure but comparable is a completely different story. R+F encourages you to take your pictures before you start using it and then you will see the changes. Before and afters tell the story! In other words, my linen closet is full of those cheaper products because they DIDN’T work. Also, R+F offers a 60-day money back (empty bottle) guarantee. You will never have a linen closet full of R+F products that don’t work, you could send them back for a refund.
I have been retired for nine years and I do not miss work at all! I use my time volunteering for Assistance League nonprofit that buys school clothes for needy children. We clothed 4,000 children this year with only 70 volunteers in our group in Palm Springs area. Believe me, you will love retirement as it gives you the time to be you. I love the outfit, the pieces are so cute. I read your blog daily. Keep up the good work.
Donna, that sounds like a wonderful organization. I have heard many people say they are busier after they retire because they become involved in charities.
I’m happily retired and some days I don’t put makeup on. I NEVER thought I would go a day without it. I never leave my house without wearing makeup.
Cute outfit! Love your hair!
There are some Saturdays when I will go almost all day without makeup but if I stop and look into the mirror I will go and put some on. I think if I don’t want strangers looking at me with no makeup on why would I subject poor Joe to it? Haha!
I love this outfit, I NEED some of those jeans, you are brilliant at pulling everything together, I always struggle when it comes to finding the right jewellery to go with everything.
Kim, we all have our areas of weakness. Yours is jewellery and mine is shoes. Lol!
