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.
If you really want to help me out then you can join me for a ZOOM call on Sunday night at 8:00 pm EST. Download the free app and hit the Join A Meeting button. Put 736 578 7052 in and then you can talk to me and my Energizer Bunny Friend. I will send you a microdermabrasion paste packet just for helping me out. ?
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.

Your outfit makes you look really young ! Retirement is a major transition – I retired for health reasons last year. Stay healthy and work as long as you are able to and for as long as it makes sense for you. Love your blog.
You look beautiful! as always
Tania I retired 2 years ago and am loving it! I also do my makeup and hair every morning just as I did for work. Of course I don’t wear office attire now but I do try to wear nice casual clothes, even if I’m just going to Wal-Mart. I’m not very busy outside the home which is the way I like it. Church and getting together with friends keep my husband and me connected socially. I hope you can manage to retire before too long – you’ll love it!
Love this outfit from head to toe!! You look beautiful!! One of my favorite teachers in high school was from Virginia, and he used to rub his thumb and finger together and say ” my heart cries for you. ” I had never heard it before, but it used to make us all laugh! Thanks for reminding of it! ?
You look so pretty! The pink is very flattering on you ! You also look thinner , always a great thing to hear!
Love the outfit! Your definitely right. This is what I’ll be wearing when I retire in September, can’t wait!
Obviously, EVERYONE loves this post! I LOVE this outfit w/all the accessories & I just have to have the top & jeans! I went to their website & could find neither so have emailed them & HOPE I hear back! I am in need of some cute cool tops for this very hot summer in New Mexico. So here’s my advice about retirement – its THE BOMB! I love every minute of it! No more stress, no more crazy people to deal with & more time for all your hobbies. I’m VERY social like you are so thought I’d miss the interaction, but I’ve found plenty of activities to keep me busy & visit with people. You will too! Beg Joe – maybe you could work one day a week at the store! I still put on my make up & dress up most days, but sometimes it’s just nice to read or work in the yard w/o make up & doing your hair. All your clubs, your blog & your church will keep you busy, not to mention your friends & your hubby! Your hair looks adorable today too & I love those bright blue earrings on you – they really bring out your pretty eyes! Enjoy your Saturday!
Loving this look! Casual but really “put together”. I’ve been retired several years and there is nothing like it! Love every minute of it. I exercise every day,line dance classes, lunch out often w friends, shop whenever I want and the best part is time to do things my husband and I like to do.
I like to say I’m retired but since my husband and I own a farm, I’m never retired. When I used to live in the city and have a “paying” job I always wore makeup. When I first moved to the farm I still wore makeup every day. But now, if I don’t plan on seeing anyone I don’t put it on anymore. Only if I am being seen in public. Ha.
When I opened your blog today I immediately pinned the first picture. That necklace with that top just nails a look I would love to develop for myself. I want to be super mega casual, but with a little elegance and maturity, and definitely not like I’m trying to dress too young. I know what looks too young or too casual, and I know what looks elegant (which for me is dressy). I just don’t seem to have the vision to mix the two the way you do, so I am trying to learn. And you are an excellent teacher! Thanks!
