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.

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.

I love that look and that top (tie dyed cold shoulder twist top) especially. I have emailed the boutique to see if it is available. I live in North Carolina and am a retired media specialist (high school librarian). I love your blog and your outfits and style–I am 60 years old and still want to look stylish. As for retirement, I am in a book club, Canasta club and am a Sunday School teacher and am active in my church. I stay busy–believe you me, if you don’t have anything to do, someone will find something for you to do. I also work a few hours a week in packing and shipping with my brother in law across the road to make a little spending money. You can retire and still remain active, in contact with people and make a little extra money and keep your mind engaged if you want to do so without the stress from a full time job. as for the reservations about R and F — the high cost of the products is the principal hold out for me. Take care, I look forward to seeing your outfits on Pinterest. Have a good week. Robin Adams
I LOVE THIS TOP … I really want it but the boutique link doesn’t offer the top. Also love your style !!! I’m 62 and to afford my outfits I can’t retire anytime real soon … ha ha!!! Keep looking fabulous Tania !!!
Kathy, their website is NEVER updated, I don’t know why they even have it. You have to email or call them.
I am 61, retired after 31 years as a drinking water analyst, 10 years ago. I have worked 7 of those 10 years part time, but now am completely retired. Everyday is busy, and I do not miss work. I help care for my Mom, see my precious granddaughter, work on long awaited arts and crafts projects, and just stop and smell the roses sometimes. Life is good, I highly recommend that Joe let you retire. 🙂
I am really enjoying your blog…. love this top. The necklace goes so.well and is versatile!
Tania , tell Joe you wanna retire so that you can put more time in the blog. Tell him you want some one else to pay you for awhile. I wish i could retire i still have twenty years b4 i can refire
Could you share with me where you purchased your jeans? I know you said boutique> but which one?
Hi, Linda. If you click on the blue link it will take you to the boutique. The name is Trendy Threads.
Love, Love, Love the outfit! Totally my style. I love my tattered and distressed jeans. Wear them all the time. I too, dress them up with a stylish top and jewelry and cute shoes. You top is spectacular! The cold shoulder is so popular. I’m looking for another and absolutely love yours. You always look so pretty and pulled together.
Retired 2 years. Love it. Don’t ever want anyone telling me what I have to do ever again!! Do lots of volunteer work (so I can quit if someone aggravates me!) and belong to the ‘Ladies Who Lunch” group. Also pays to be able to hit happy hours! I did fall into a bit of a clothing slump, but your blog has pulled me out of it with your clothing fand jewelry suggestions. But there are more than a few times I forgo the make up – hubby prefers it that way!
I retired from teaching 4 years ago- I am almost 65. I was so worried about liking retirement. My husband and I moved an hour away from my friends to a lake community. I worried what was I going to do to fill my time???? Well, I found that you fill it up with things you enjoy and you end up wondering how you ever had time to work. I babysit my grandchildren sometimes, I now have time and energy to exercise, I do things with friends or my husband….it is AWESOME! On my hang out at the house or exercise days, I don’t wear much make-up. But I enjoy dressing up a bit and wearing makeup when I go out and about. The biggest change for me was changing my wardrobe- I don’t need lots of dress pants or skirts or jackets. I find myself admiring those things when shopping and have to remind myself that I don’t have a place to wear them. Enjoy your work until you don’t enjoy it….and then have fun in retirement!!
I was laid off almost 4 years ago and I hate not working. Not that I haven’t applied for jobs but I believe it is age related. I am going to start volunteering because I can’t take being home anymore. I was like you, a fasionista and shopaholic and loved getting dressed every day for work (and the money helped it along also…LOL)
