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.

Tania, I really like your 50 is not old blog! You inspire me to try again, no longer going to work everyday, it’s very easy to get into sweatshirts and jeans – or yikes, sweats mode! I found myself “dressing up” to go to the dentist and grocery store the other day, wearing a cute top and bracelets like Tania does. ?Thank you for sharing you!

You blog is the only style blog I read. I love the looks you put together and you have given me inspiration to dress a little better and shop a little smarter. I still struggle with accessories, but am getting better. Thanks for all your tips Tania.
I feel like I’ve found a lost sister when I read your blog! It is becoming the highlight of my day! It is wonderful to see your great sense of style and get your tips. Being a jewelry addict myself, I’ll be signing up on Plunder as soon as I finish reading more of your blogs. haha My husband will be so happy! Well, maybe no happy. Anyway, I am so happy that Lynette, my best friend in the whole wide world, turned me on to your site. Here’s to many happy days of reading and laughing ahead. Please don’t stop!

Thank you for all your great advice. Making it easy to dress classy, yet fun and sexy.
Reading your post has given me ideas on different things to wear, how to wear beer trendy styles at my age. I’ve tried new colors together, gone out and bought me some cute shoes, etc. Keep the blogs coming, it’s now apart of my morning routine!
To put it simply why I read everyday is you are so relatable. Some of the blogs I started with are all about name expensive name brands (ok sometimes for splurges) and truthfully unattainable on most peoples budget. Your stories are similar to mine. And most of all you are who you are. You don’t pretend to be anyone else. I love the way you inspire me and give me an entertaining start to my days! You have a gift of making us feel as one of your dear friends. Thank you for sharing your life stories and dressing ideas.
I discovered you through a friend that had pinned you on Pinterest. Thanks for all of the helpful fashion ideas. Love your style!
