WEARING WHITE IN THE FALL AND WINTER
Ladies, it has sure felt like October today. I woke up early, and it was pouring the rain. It was that kind of day where you think it is earlier than it is because it is so dark outside. I answered my emails, commented on those who left comments, and sent out the blog post to some subscribers. But, after all, that was finished, I hit a wall. I was so sleepy and tired that I couldn’t hold my eyes open. So, I went and crawled back in bed at 8:30, and I ended up sleeping for at least an hour or more. Lol!
The reason that I am telling you that story is because I wanted to talk about the 90-day challenge. How is it going for you ladies to asked me to send you the calendar? I will admit that it isn’t going too well for me, at least not in some of the areas. I have done fair in my striving to get up earlier, and I am good with my self-development and gratitude, but I am stinking at the drinking more water and exercising. The great thing is…today is a new day, and we all have a restart button. So, I am filling my water bottle to my desired level, and I am going to make sure that it happens today. So many times, we fail at something, and we forget to get back up, dust ourselves off, and keep on striving forward. One step in front of the other is what you need to remember. It might not be perfect, but as long as you are going forward, then you are winning!
I have been in this “oversized” mood here lately. I was things big, comfortable, and not touching me anywhere. This is not my usual style, but I love the baggy look. I decided to order several things from Amazon the other day, and this leopard print sweater in white was one of my first picks. I ordered a medium, and it is still really oversized. This sweater is long also so that it would look great with a pair of leggings or tights. This sweater is under 30.00, and it is a nice thick sweater that is well worth that amount. I was surprised at how nice it was, and it is also free shipping on prime. Here is the link.
I will be going to my sister’s next week for a vintage fashion show. This is a yearly event that my mother and her friend have for the Winnwood Retirement Community in Marietta. It is a beautiful facility, and the residents there love the show and all of the jewelry. I told mom that I would start showing everyone some of the vintage items that I have bought at previous shows. I don’t show you a lot of my vintage jewelry since you can’t purchase it in stores. BUT you can join me next week if you live in the area. I would love to meet you, so please watch for the date and time in tomorrow’s post. Check out the vintage earrings and cameo style bracelet. I love the different scenes on the bracelet; it is gorgeous.
I am wearing a pair of Democracy AB Solutions jeans. This is what I would call winter white, but I think the website calls them Optic White. I love the fit of these jeans, and I am wearing a size 10, which is my normal size. These come in several different colors, so you might want to stock up while they are available. I also bought the Honey Wheat color, and you will see it on the blog soon. I drug my worn out knee boots out of the closet to finish the outfit. I love this pair of boots, but it looks like I might have to polish them before long. These are an older pair from Franco Fortini, but I can’t tell you where I bought this. I would have sworn they were another brand because I have never heard of Franco Fortini. Lol! Oh well, here are a few other riding boots that look fabulous.
I am trying to grow my Instagram, so if you do not already follow me, please do that by clicking here. Remember to sign up for my daily emails. Thanks so much for following me on my blog. Be sure to follow me on Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

Love the outfit!!! I think I will get the sweater!!
It is very oversized, so be sure to take that into consideration.
I call these Hallmark moments. I’m glad you share them with us. I love this look and this year will be the first year I wear white pants. I love my white denim pants and someone said white denim is just as warm as blue. I’m getting fearless as I get older it would seem. I’ve never cared for really fitted clothes so this is my type of sweater. You look great.
I am getting more fearless as I get older also. That is a perk of aging…it is a good thing that there is at least one perk. Lol!
I love your daughter’s pictures!!
She had a blast creating those!
I absolutely love your sweater and the entire outfit! Tania, you have cost me so much money purchasing from your links and I LOVE it! You are such a bright light in this sometimes dark world and I enjoy your posts so much! Ashley is beyond darling! She’s got her mom’s spirit! Don’t ever change!
Rhonda, your comment made me laugh! Joe has a funny saying that I will share with all of you on tomorrow’s blog.
The pictures are soooo adorable!! Thanks for sharing them!! Also love the sweater!! And love you Tania!!
She had so much fun doing this celebration.
So glad you are showing winter white trousers today. I have recently bought a pair of white cords and was wondering what to wear with them. I have some new Biker Boots which will go well and a chunky jumper which I bought in the sales last year in grey, black,white and yellow. Just waiting for a dry day to put these all together.

I didn’t know what I was going to wear with these pants when I bought them. It was accidental that the sweater I bought matched them so perfectly.
I don t even wear white in Summer! Lol. But it looks very good! Your daughters photos are so cute!
I love white, especially in the summer. But, this winter white color is gorgeous.
