WEARING TIE-DYE AFTER 50
I am so glad that it is finally Friday! It is payday, so that helps, and for once I don’t think I have a bill waiting with its hand out. Lol! I love it when all the bills have been paid and this is just “free” money. I may have to go to the bank and put it in a savings account. If any of you believed that, you need to contact me because I have some swamp land for sale. Haha! 
When Ashleigh and Joseph were young they were so different when it came to money. I tried to teach them, not very successfully, how to manage their money. So I would give them a set amount of money and take them shopping. Ashleigh would spend EVERY penny and even talk Joseph into letting her borrow some of his. Joseph wouldn’t buy a thing, he said he didn’t need it enough to part with his money. He already had one truck or a shirt or a pair of pants, and that was all he needed. They are now 27 and 29 and their money traits are still pretty much the same. My daughter will spend and sometimes overspend, and Joseph hardly ever buys anything. At least Ashleigh will work several jobs to earn her money even if they are jobs like scorekeeping and refereeing for ballgames. 
I bought this tie-dyed top at a boutique in Coronado Beach while I was in California. The brand name is LOVESTITCH. I loved the slouchy comfortable style and as soon as I tried it on I knew it was coming home with me. I wore this for the flight back to Atlanta because of the comfort level. Did I tell you that I got patted down at the airport? I went through the metal detector, holding my hand’s above so that it could scan. The man told me to put my necklace around to the back and stand still. Then he said for me to go ahead and leave. I started to go pick up my purse and a lady told me to hold up. Then she made me hold my hands up while she patted me down. My sister was scrambling to grab her cell phone out and take a picture. Lol!
I am carrying my Emma Fox black purse. I am an Emma Fox fan!!! I will warn you though that these are heavy purses. Even with nothing in them, they weight quite a bit. I used to buy my Emma Fox purses at TJ Maxx but I haven’t seen one there lately.
It is time for another giveaway. I have lost time of how long I have been doing the blog, so that means it has been a while. Lol! I started on 09-06-15 and I try to do a small giveaway around this time of every month. Today’s giveaway is the Cecelia necklace, the Dalia bracelet, and the matching earrings which I have forgotten the name of. lol! Here is where I wore them (you get a new set) in a post a week or so ago. Leave a comment about what you like about 50 Is Not Old. I am not trying to pat myself on the back, I am working on a media kit and I would love to include some comments from my readers. I will announce the winner on Wednesday next week.
PLEASE take the time to signup. 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.

Good morning Tania. Happy Friday to you! Love your tie dye top. Soft and subtle shadings. Unlike the tie die of long ago in the 70’s. It’s funny how trends come back again in cycles. We’ve gone back to that look numerous times over the years. I just yesterday saw bell bottoms in the stores…….again. I remember my daughter in the late 90s when she was in middle school found a pair of my old bell bottoms I wore in high school and she wore them all year long. (Why did I keep those) She still has them! Have a great weekend.
Your daily posts are like getting an email from your best friend. You share the good, the bad, and everthing in between. You are one of us.
I love being inspired by the outfits and colors and pushing myself in a new direction! You have a great sense of humor too, and I feel like I’m talking to a friend I’ve known forever! Thank you!
It is refreshing to see a style blog that shows current fashions and trends in a modern, modest way for the forty plus client. I always come away with insights and motivation to update and upgrade my style.
I’m in my 50s but in my head I’m in my 20s and I want to wear clothes that reflect that. I don’t want to look fuddy duddy but I would hate to wear fashions that were too young for me. Your blog has shown me how to achieve the right balance. Thank you.
Same here Caroline!!! Tania does an excellent job of styling and looking very young and chic while remaining very classy!
I agree Caroline. That’s exactly how I feel! I’m so glad I discovered this refreshing blog!
I happened to see an email sent to me by a friend. I am 74 but feel 40 ish. I love the colors and different styles but don’t know where to find any and all of them. I love young looking clothes but still ok to wear in my 70’s.
Good morning – here it is 7:15 am and i love reading your blog while drinking my 1st coffee in morning! Still cold and strong wind here – so appreciate your beautiful colours ( especial yesterday – the royal blue is amazing)! Have a great day – Angela
I just found your blog and I love seeing your creative outfits. You coordinate the types of clothes I wear and I love the inspiring combos. Causal but always interesting, feminine and pulled together. Thanks-I knew it’s a lot of effort. I appreciate it.
That’s a very classy tie dyed top you look fantastic
You’re real. Faults and flaws aren’t hidden. It’s refreshing!
It is fun reading your blog! I enjoy your personality, chit chat and beautiful fashion ideas!❤
