WHITE SNEAKERS WORK FOR BOTH CASUAL OR DRESSY LOOKS
Happy May!!! May is a special month for me, and I like to celebrate it all month long. It is my birthday month! Woohoo! Once we start getting older, we sometimes don’t like seeing the number of candles grow on our birthday cake. When we light the candles, it goes from casting a nice glow to setting off the fire alarms.
Age has never bothered me, and I am always thrilled to see that I made it another year. I don’t hide my age; I’m proud of the years that have given me experience, knowledge, wrinkles, scars, and opportunities. I started this blog when I was 55 at the urging of my sister. I knew nothing about Blogging, but I remember thinking, “how hard could it be?” Lol! It turns out the learning curve was pretty big for someone who hated having their photo taken and had no technical ability. Haha! My point is, don’t ever let not knowing all of the answers keep you from trying new things. I’ll be celebrating my 62 birthday in a couple of weeks, so I can really say that 50 IS NOT OLD!!!
For Monday’s Affordable Fashions, I am showing you a casual look with a dressy feel. There is nothing dressy about this outfit, but it gives off a dressy vibe because it looks polished and put together. This navy floral tank is a rayon/cotton/linen blend, and it is silky and flowy. It feels great against your skin, and it doesn’t show all of your lumps and bumps. The straps are nice and wide, so you don’t have to worry about bra straps. I like tanks, and I wear them all year round since I can layer them with cardigans and jackets. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits me great.
I know some of you don’t like showing your arms, and I understand since mine also tend to flap in the wind. Adding a third piece is something you see me do for several reasons. The third piece will bring an outfit together and make it look complete. It can also hide flaws, such as flapping arms or in my case, a wide waistline. I’m always cold, so the third piece is also a way for me to stay warm, even in the summer months.
This white denim jacket with the ruffle detail is so cute and summery. The jacket is girlie and feminine, and it is perfect for spring and summer. I have several denim jackets, but this style of white jacket was missing from my wardrobe. The jacket has a nice stretch, so it doesn’t feel confining, and the ruffles at the neck and sleeve are the perfect unique detail. I’m wearing a large, and it fits great.
I’ve styled these Roll Cuff Skinny Jeans in white and green, but this is the first time I’ve worn them in navy. I think they will look great this spring and summer with so many colors since they are a classic neutral. These are cute and modern looking, and they are a great length. I’m wearing a size 8, and they fit great but are the tiniest bit tight. If you are between sizes, then you might want to size up.
White sneakers are everywhere and can be worn with anything. It might take a little getting used to since most of us think of sneakers as athletic wear. However, sneakers are a fashion statement, and you might want to start incorporating them into your wardrobe. Spring and summer are a great time to start wearing white sneakers if you’ve resisted them in the past. I like these solid white Puma’s since they are leather and easy to clean.
The accessories I’m wearing are: Adeline Hoop Earrings // Adeline Link Necklace // 18 Kt. Gold Vermeil Cross Necklace // Beaded Elaina Stretch Bracelet //

Today I ran across your blog and fashion information and want to see more. 50 is certainly not old. I’m in my 70s and still like to dress in your style. Looking forward to seeing your blog again and receiving your emails.
Tanya, I am a new “gurl” to you. Your fashion guidance is terrific and I especially appreciate that you are a Christian who is not afraid to share scripture in a social media post. Thank you.
Also, I just ordered and received the cute white denim jacket with ruffles from Kohls. I know it will go with everything from dresses to slacks . What a great piece! Just love the feminine touch of the ruffles that makes it a bit more special than just a Jean jacket. Thank you again for all the beautiful inspiration to this 67 year old. ❤️
Cute! Cute! Cute! The colors look perfect on you and I like the ease of this outfit.
I am from Sparta Tennessee, just right down the road from your hometown! I just turned 62 also and I love your style! I think we were meant to be friends! God bless!
You look adorable in this outfit! Love it. Heading to Kohls!
50 is definitely not old, I a 68. I love getting ideas from your Pinterest pics (up until now. I started following you today after saving pics of you for years) ☺️ I am now really enjoying your blog. I’ve started catching up from September 2015 and will also read more recent posts and “meet myself in the middle one day”. Blessings 🌷🦋✝️
Love this cute outfit! Happy Birthday this month dear!
I just showed my husband your picture and asked him how old do you think this woman is? He said about 45. He was shocked when I told him you’ll be celebrating your 62 birthday in a few weeks. You look AMAZING!!!! I’m turning 52 in June and I keep telling myself “50 is not old😉!”
Thank you for sharing your weight loss program. Started my first day of 8 week program with E2M! So excited! You are a wonderful inspiration!
I’m thrilled for you. I’m back at it again after my vacation. I ate everything in sight. 🤣
From one May baby to another Happy Birthday! I have always enjoyed celebrating my birthday. I will be 56 soon and I am ok with that. Its just a number! 🙂 I love the white jean jacket!!
Now show us some dresses with tennis shoes. (I have questions!) Do they have to be white? Any particular style? I have lots but am loving slip-ons right now. (Think Vans.)
It happened to me a while back, Kit. I’m still not sure I get all of them. I re-entered my name, and I think Tania even checked on it, too. Computers!
I love this outfit, and you look great as always! Thank you for showing the Draper James line from Kohl’s.
Another great outfit. Pinned for the inspiration as I have a similar top and white denim jacket. Happy Birthday. May is the best birthstone!
My morning routine consists of reading your blog with my coffee. I look forward to it and enjoy your content and the styles you show.
However, about a month ago I stopped receiving the daily emails. I’ve re-entered my email in the blog to again receive the emails and I’ll get one maybe the next day but then they stop again.
Just wanted you to know as this may be happening to other followers.
Kit, I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Go into your mailbox, and search for Tania@50isnotold.com If you find that email address, make sure that it is in your inbox. If you find some in junk, promotions, socials, etc., move them to your inbox. That helps to let your provider know that you want these emails.
Love every thing about this outfit. You look great
Love every thing about this outfit you look great
Love the outfit. I am wearing white sneakers for more outfits.
Happy birthday month! Time to change the name to “60 Is Not Old”???
No can do, Janice. It is not a vanity issue, I share my age all the time. It is a branding thing, it isn’t easy to get a following, and changing all of my social media, email, etc., would be a nightmare.
Happy birthday month. I agree with what you said about birthday, I love mine. Love your outfit. Just not a big fan of white tennis shoes 🤷♀️ For some reason
I love your style and you look fantastic! How do you stay so thin? I really need help as I am in my menopause stage of life (58). Money unfortunately is an issue right now so I need to find an affordable option. I am looking so old these days. Gray hair ugh!!
Any advice you can give would be helpful.
Lastly, I am so happy that you are a christian. Your beauty is on the inside also 🙂.
Kelly, the program that I’m doing is 320.00, but that is a one-time charge, and you can pay it weekly instead of all at once. If that is still too much, then I suggest searching for Intermittent Fasting and Low Carb diets, plus, adding in exercise daily. That should get you started.
Love the entire outfit !!
Love today’s outfit!
Question: what is the name of the tape you use to close a gaping blouse?
Great outfit! I’ve been wearing white sneakers for over a year now and love the trend. I especially like wearing them with casual dresses “like the younger girls”.
Today’s look is fantabulous!
Love this outfit and the white denim jacket is something I must consider getting!!
Happy birthday Month Tania- we share the same bday month!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like it! You do look polished and ready for almost any activity. This is a look I can pull off!
What day is your birthday, Tania? Mine is May 13, so it IS a special month! 2 more family members have May birthdays too.
Betty, mine is the 14th! We will be celebrating together.
What a fabulous outfit in every way and you look awesome! Happy Birthday month to you!
Love this outfit! So pretty and affordable
May is my birthday month, too! I’ll be 65 and my daughter and I were texting that is an attitude and just a number. Nope, 50 (60) is not old!
Super cute outfit…I love wearing my white leather tennis shoes!
You look fabulous! Could you please give me the link to your post where you explained your exercise and eating? I need to list 10 pounds and tone up! Thank you.
Janet, sign-ups are going on right now! Here is where I wrote about it before: https://50isnotold.com/losing-weight-over-50/
I love the outfit, very classy and well put together. I’m in need of some blue pants for work, but the for the pants isn’t working.
Happy birthday! My 60th is today! I’m so happy I found your blog. I’m also starting R2 of E2M. Hope your birthday month is amazing!
Love this outfit. The denim jack is so nice. I am going clothes shopping with a friend tomorrow and looking forward to it.
You look great!! Please tell me what you’re doing??? I need to lose 45 lbs. 69 and feel hopeless. You always look so cute!
Gayle, if I can do it, anyone can. I am following a program, and the sign-ups are going on right now, and the program starts today. You can read about it on the website, but it is an 8-week program that you pay for once, and then you are in it for life. https://www.e2mfitness.com/
Love this outfit! So springy and fresh!!
That is super cute! Love it!
