And no I'm not talking about just any old bag! I'm talking about my love of my bright yellow purse and accessories in general.
There is nothing wrong with the first picture. Absolutely nothing wrong for a quick trip to Target and then off to the cabin. I try to take pictures Saturday morning for my Monday post so I took a couple and as I was getting ready to leave I spotted my bright yellow purse on the table waiting for me to head out the door. So I took a second round of pics and ran out to do my errands.
I just downloaded the photos (not a Superbowl kind if girl) and I'm truly amazed how one yellow purse can jump out and scream I'm on the arm of a fun person not a boring, middle aged lady (not that I'm often accused of being a lady let alone boring)
I live in separates and punch it up with scarves, jewelry and purses. The outfits go a lot further and I think they are more interesting. Hard as I try to get outfits together at night (not a good idea if I've been drinking wine) most times I am scrambling around in the morning trying to put it all together. So, then I just grab a scarf and some bling and I'm good to go.
With the challenges I am about to face at work, planning is going to be a priority. I guess I feel like I need to control whatever I can and keep the stress down as much as possible. Who wants to be stressed because they can't find a certain pair of tights or a missing shoe. From now on it's all going to be together right down to my drawers!
Soooooo. Do you think 53 is to old to wear a black, knee length, leather skirt? I just thirifted one and I'm dying to wear it. To much??
Stay tuned...........I'll let you know how the eyes from the work, sweatshirt crowd roll!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a good week and keep your chin up and your smile styling!
I'll be linking up with Patti @ Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday and Nora and Megan @ Two Birds for Inspiration Monday.
Pop on over and enjoy the fun!!!!!

No, I do not think 53 is too old for a leather skirt! I wore one on Rags last May or June! I love the tunic in this outfit. Just breathe deeply about the situation at work.
ReplyDeleteI like this outfit on you. You look stunning!
ReplyDeleteYellow Silk Top
Oh, my gosh, I love this outfit so much! Darn it! Now I need a cute little feminine dress like thing to wear over jeans. The necklaces and scarf look so pretty with it too. You do such a great job of putting things together.
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow purse too.
Good luck on planning your outfits. I've started laying things out on the bed and photgraphing different outfit combinations and then keeping them in a file on the computer. Viewing fashion blogs always gives me inspiration. I am shocked at how many "outfits" I have at my fingertips. Then, I sort of put them in an order I think I might wear them and so all I have to do is open up the folder the night before or whenever and take a look at my outfit options I've already pulled together. It's been a definite wake up call though as to how out of hand my thrifting had gotten. It hasn't stopped be completely...but I've slowed it down a bit.
That purse is as fresh as a squeeze of lemon! I love it, and it does really pop against your outfit.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think you can wear the leather skirt!! Oh please do and show us :) The colour and length sound demure enough and anyways I think it has more to do with confidence and sophistication - which you have in spades. I'm sure you have outfits in mind but I'm thinking it would even look great with that vest from this post.
i love the tunic and the bag! you look so great. and no, 53 is not too old for that skirt...especially with your hot bod!! let us know how the planning goes...i have never done that and probably should!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the tunic!!! And a pop of sunshine is always a good thing!!
ReplyDeleteI vote a big yes for the black leather skirt! Serene has two in her eBay store that I am thinking about, and I am older than you : > I love your hot yellow bag and killer boots. Thanks so much for linking up to Visible Monday, Tammy : >
ReplyDeletethe neutrals with jeans and bright yellow are lovely! definitely wear the skirt and post pics. or even just potential outfits and we'll reassure you that they look classy and timeless!
ReplyDeleteWow that yellow really brings a ray of sunshine to your outfit. LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteWear the leather skirt! And I love that outfit -- such cozy chic with the boots, vest and sweater.
ReplyDeleteHey Tammy! Love this outfit - so cute! I get my outfit ready the night before - down to the bra and jewelry! I'm notoriously late so if I waited till morning, I'd never make it out of the house. Let's have a peek at that leather skirt!
ReplyDeleteTammy,I am so sorry to hear you are having work issues, I hope you will be ok! Sending virtual hugs.
