Sunday Stylin Roundup ~ Fashion after Fifty

Sunday Stylin Roundup

Hello friends and welcome to this week’s Sunday Stylin Roundup! Last week was fun because I experimented with mixing patterns and I am anxious to know what you think.  

The first outfit is entitled Blue Monday.

Blue Monday

This of course is one of my favorite pencil skirts from JCPenney.  With it I wore a light blue cardigan, black t-shirt and my Cushion Soft shoes from Avon.  

The “Bedrock’ necklace is also one of my favorites because it picks up the colors in the skirt nicely.

The next outfit is entitled Dots and Dashes

Dots and Dashes This is truly a mix of patterns, Polka Dots and Houndstooth but I read if you keep it in the same color family, it won’t appear too drastic.  

What do you think – yay or nay?

These are a pair of my favorite black suede Unlisted Booties and the DKNY tote was purchased about 10 years ago from “Saks Off 5th” in Orlando.

Third outfit is entitled “Lions Tigers and Stripes Oh My!”

Lions Tigers and Stripes oh my

I really did a pattern mix with the leopard and stripes and I liked it!  Because the black pants were the anchor the leopard and stripes didn’t clash, I will definitely be repeating this outfit again.

The shoes are Christian Sirano for Payless and the purse is Avon.  I believe the cardigan was either Ross or Marshall’s and the necklace is from Jewelrymax.net.

Last outfit for the week was Stripes and Studs

Now this definitely was a mix match but it seems to go together – right?  Believe it or not, this is a thrifted Lord & Taylor blouse that once belonged to my sister and it has been in my closet since 1992!  

With it I am wearing the striped skirt from Burlington, studded shoes and tote as well as ring and bracelet set from Avon.

I liked this outfit the best, what say you?

 

Last Monday I had to take my car to the dealer for service and ended up with two different loaners, a Chevy Silverado which is a huge pickup truck and then a Chevy Cruze…I’ll tell you all about them next week.

 

I hope your Sunday is a good day and that you enjoyed the extra hour of sleep!

Syles of the 60s

Styles of the 60s

I was born in 1961, the decade known for free love, drugs, Go-Go Girls, Rock and Roll, The Vietnam War, Civil Rights, Hippies, the Birth Control Pill, The Peace Corp, Dr King, President Kennedy, assassinations, integration, Space Explorations, Cuban Missile Crisis, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Beverly Hillbillies, Afros, Crew Cuts, and of course the vibrant and colorful world of fashion.

The Past Is a Blast is a website that has culminated fun and interesting facts about the ’60’s, including popular music, dances, sports figures, politicians even the minimum wage, which at the time was just a $1.00, go check it out.

I was too young to fully understand it all but do remember that I loved the fashion and styles of the ’60’s, the bell bottoms, platform shoes, neon colors, color blocking and pattern mixing…hey, isn’t that the style of today?

OOTD – Fun Feet Friday

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay !

In the early 2000’s, I had a job that permitted me to work from home on Fridays and I enjoyed dressing down in jeans and slippers. I no longer have that job nor the luxury of working from home on Fridays, but it hasn’t stopped me from dressing down in jeans and slippers shoes!

I am almost head to toe Mossimo, even having a little fun changing the footwear this morning.  These shoes are part of my Target haul (here) and I want you to guess which pair made it to work today.

The cardigan sweater is from Ross and accessories from my jewelry box.

Image Image

Which ones would you have chosen, the embellished flats or the Cap Toe heels?

Image Image

Oh, BTW, this is the first time attempting a serious pattern mix – what do you think – Yay or Nay??

OOTD – Poncho and Patterns

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

Yay, today my energy level is high, and I am getting excited about having off next week – I hope to take a day or two and just do nothing!  I also plan to use a day to clean out my closets and prepare a large Goodwill donation before the end of the year.  Raising a glass to a productive and stress free day – cheers!
