WILL IT GO ROUND IN CIRCLES
Happy Monday y’all. I am in my countdown phase for my BIG trip this weekend. I am sure you are already sick of hearing me talk about it, but you are going to be sicker before this week ends. Lol! I am super excited!!! Because I work in an industry that is busiest in the summer months, I don’t get a lot of vacation time when it is hot. A trip to Panama City Beach is going to be wonderful, probably scorching hot, but wonderful!
I am one of “those” people who wait till the last minute to pack for any trip. I am starting to think about items I need, but I have not actually started the process of gathering anything together. I know there are several items that I need to take with me, like a gallon size container of bug repellant. Sunscreen and a hat are also on the list, but after that I get a little hazy. I’ve never attended anything like this, so you ladies that have, need to help. I don’t want to go in lugging a 50lb pack of items that I will never need, but I don’t want to be dying to use the bathroom and find out that there is no toilet paper to be found.
While you gurls are busy making me out a list, I will go ahead and tell you about today’s outfit. I wore this a couple weeks ago, you can tell by the really old finger nail polish. Haha I have had this top for several years, and I still like it, even though I don’t wear it like I once did. I like the turquoise and yellow, I know that is a real shock, and I like the circle pattern. The material is silky, so it feels good on your body.The straps have good coverage, so I am not always tucking a bra strap back into place. The top is by DressBarn.

Here is a closeup of the pattern, but more importantly, a closeup of my necklace. I don’t think I have worn this necklace before. I am not a real big fan of the bright silver jewelry, it has just never been my thang. This Shelena necklace, however, was purchased because of it’s saying, God is Within Her She Will Not Fail. Psalm 46:5 The added pink heart adds to the cuteness factor. If you are not aware, I am giving away a Plunder $25.00 gift certificate at the end of the month. Every person who places an order for Plunder from my site, will be entered to win. Every time you place an order, you will be entered.Here is the plunder website: http://www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens that will have you shopping with me. Try copying and pasting this in the address line, and hopefully it will work. If not, then type in my stylist number 241007 in the stylist box at checkout. I have started an online party, and there is a dropdown box where you can choose Tania’s P Party at checkout also.
My black bracelets are two that I bought in Marietta at a tea shop on the square. You can buy them from Christian Books on line. They are called By The Book bracelets. Each one has a different reference to a bible verse. The silver Organic link toggle bracelet is from Chloe & Isabel, and the leather bracelet was also bought at the same little tea shop in Marietta. I think I will be going to Marietta again in October, and you can bet I will be going back to this little unique shop.
I am wearing a pair of black Sole Society gladiator sandals. I wore them earlier in the summer with a pair of dress shorts (see here) and they looked cute. These shoes really “up” your fashion game. These are not your run of the mill shoes. They will get noticed, and you need to make sure your toe nails look cute when you wear them. Lol!
I changed shoes on you gurls. Did you notice the change? These are some old shoes that are by Kathy Van Zeeland. They are very, very old, but I still love to wear them. I would hate to show a closeup picture, they are kind of ratty. The black ankle pants are pixie’s from Old Navy. These are great to wear even in the fall and winter, you just have to wear them with boots.

It’s time to get back in the groove at work. I will be leaving on Thursday and driving to Atlanta to spend the night with my sister, before heading on down to Panama City. Did I mention that I am going to the (c/o) Pepsi Gulf Coast 2016 Jam?!!! Hahaha

Oooh, I really like that top. I hope you have a great time on your trip. Relax and enjoy yourself.
Thanks so much!!!
I love your blog. I just turned the big 60!! My co-workers could not believe I turned sixty. They said I,m just a 6.0 version. I’ll take it as a compliment and keep my youthful attitude. It is all about Attitude.
I like a 6.0 version. That is perfect!!! You are right about the attitude, it makes ALL the difference.
I can see why you hang onto that top. Love it. I prefer the gladiators with the outfit. But I also “get” having a comfy & cute shoe.
On weekend trips to the beach, it’s always s good idea to have a small box in the back of the car of “just in case” stuff, like TP, a small container of Clorox wipes, napkins, etc., sometimes it never comes out of the car, but it’s there if needed. Also, take an extra towel or 2. Those are a definite need! Reapply sunscreen often. You will thank me for that one! Have a fabulous time!!
Great tips! Someone emailed me today and said you could only take in clear totes. I need to be on the lookout for one.
All my trips to Panama City have been great. Hope you have a great one also. Definitely fun.
Very cute outfit!
I hope you have wonderful time on your trip. We just returned from a weekend in Buffalo and saw the world traveling 52 foot high rubber duck – that was the high point for me!. With the heat and humidity, packing was difficult and found only half what I took actually went on my body. It is such a challenge! We want to look good but never know what the mood will call for.
I hope you have a fantastic time away!
WOW! That is a really BIG duck. Hahaha
The top looks so great – I love the print! And now you’ve gotten that song running in my head! LOL! Have a great trip!
Rain may be a God send 😉 I love cute rain boots and it does cool things off. Hope you have an amazing get away!
Your trip is going to be so much fun? I’ve been wanting to ask; do your pixies stretch out during the day? That’s the problem I’ve been having when I buy new pants. Thanks and have a great trip!
I would take some rain gear. Looks like a tropical storm may be in your future
Well that is just great:( I have dreaded looking at the forecast, I guess I had better start planning for rain.☔️ At least I have some really cute rain boots. Haha
Cute top! This looks great on you! Love the gladiator sandals. Have a great day Tania!
I hope you have a wonderful time and finally get to enjoy some time off!
Good morning Tania – your trip sounds awesome can’t wait to hear more about it – will you post outfit looks from there (that would be fun).
