An Honest Review

It’s not that we don’t love halter dresses… we just don’t always feel comfortable in them.⁠
⁠
This one surprised me.⁠
⁠
At $355, this is more of a special occasion investment piece rather than an everyday dress.⁠ Another reason to want an honest review!
⁠
The quality is truly beautiful.⁠
⁠
Would you wear this style halter dress?

How would you wear this dress?⁠
⁠
The smallest detail can shift the entire look.⁠
⁠
A dress isn’t really finished when you put it on—it finds its expression in what you choose to pair with it. That’s where everything changes.⁠
⁠
It’s never just the dress. It’s the story it creates when it all comes together.⁠
⁠
If you find yourself struggling with fashion at an older age, follow along with me and I’ll show you how styling can be fun!⁠
⁠
The dress is currently available in Shop My Closet for $58.38.
⁠
The bag is also still available, but quantities are limited.

Stop fighting who you used to be.⁠
⁠
Spring doesn’t fight last year’s bloom. It just shows up again.⁠
⁠We don’t have to compete with our past selves, resist time, or apologize for the season we are in.⁠
⁠
The shift is just showing up—season after season—exactly as we are. ⁠
⁠
Follow along with me, if you’re ready to bloom right where you stand today. 🌸⁠
⁠
This dress is available in the Spring section of my Amazon store.

Fever isn’t something you catch…⁠
it’s something you carry.⁠
⁠
Cream slacks—calm, composed confidence.⁠
⁠
Pink satin—soft but not innocent.⁠
⁠
Tailored blazer—control. Always.⁠
⁠
White pumps—now it shifts.⁠
⁠
Jewelry—the final signal.⁠
⁠
Not loud. Not trying.⁠
Just presence.⁠

The final touches are my favorite part. That moment when everything falls into place… effortlessly.⁠

Come get ready with me…⁠
⁠
Fever isn’t something you catch…⁠
it’s something you carry.⁠
⁠
Cream slacks—calm, composed confidence.⁠
⁠
A satin charmeuse shirt—softness with quiet heat.⁠
⁠
A tweed knit lady jacket—structured ease, timeless control.⁠
⁠
Zebra heels—the shift in temperature.⁠
⁠
Jewelry—the subtle sparkle that completes the look.⁠
⁠
Not loud. Not forced.⁠
Just presence.⁠

In the 1800s, women’s bathing suits were made of heavy wool, covered the body from neck to ankle, had long sleeves, and even weighed down the hems to keep them submerged. Can you imagine swimming in that - especially if you were in your 70s?⁠
⁠
Eat your heart out, society! I know you think I should be right there in that wool suit, drowning... but thank god swimsuits have evolved! I’m free to wear this one-piece (or two-piece!) with all my age spots, crepey, loose skin, and I’m loving it.⁠
⁠
Could you survive a weighted, wool bathing suit at 70+? Or would you be Team Modern One-Piece?⁠

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to look elevated.⁠
⁠
This black slip dress from Target is proof that style isn’t about the price tag—it’s about how you wear it. Perfect for summer events, simple, sleek, and effortlessly chic.⁠
⁠
You can wear it with a typical bra, which makes it even more wearable and real-life friendly.⁠
⁠
The version in Shop My Closet has a single back slit, while this one features slits on both sides—just a subtle difference, but both move beautifully.⁠
⁠
I always say: keep the dress simple, then elevate the moment with an upscale bag and intentional styling. That’s where the transformation happens.⁠
⁠
Affordable can still feel luxurious.⁠

Just sharing my outfit of the day.⁠
⁠
This blouse stopped me the moment I saw it. A soft, sheer whisper white covered in tiny floating clouds. Dreamy without trying too hard… elegant without being stuffy.⁠
⁠
I love the tie neckline because I can adjust it exactly how I like it. It’s sleeveless and hits right at the hip, which makes it a fantastic layering piece. It will look beautiful under a blazer or sweater. Today I’m wearing it on its own and letting the sheerness and those little clouds do all the talking.⁠
⁠
I paired it with my Talbots wide-leg high-rise pants. I love the side buttons, the side zipper, and full pockets—because yes, we absolutely need pockets.⁠
⁠
And finishing it all off: Ralph Lauren kitten heels.⁠
Low, comfortable, and just right.⁠
⁠
Everything I’m wearing is available in Shop My Closet.⁠

Eighteen months ago, I began using Tatcha with simple curiosity. Over time, it quietly became one of the most comforting rituals in my day.⁠
⁠
Inspired by centuries-old beauty traditions from Japan, many of the formulas feature rice water—an ingredient long treasured for the gentle way it cares for the skin.⁠
⁠
Rice water is known to be rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that can help support:⁠
• a softer, smoother feel⁠
• lasting hydration and comfort⁠
• the appearance of brightness and natural radiance⁠
• a more even-looking complexion⁠
⁠
At this stage of life, I’ve learned that skincare isn’t about perfection. ⁠
It’s about care. ⁠
It’s about slowing down for a few peaceful moments each day to nurture the skin you live in.⁠
⁠
Some products you try.⁠
Some you truly grow to love over time.⁠
⁠
This has been one of those for me.⁠
⁠
Have you ever found a product that just stayed with you over the years? I’d love to hear what you’re using right now.⁠
⁠
If you’re interested in any of these products, you can find them linked below.

There’s a difference between liking something and choosing it.⁠
⁠
We don’t talk enough about discernment — about pausing long enough to notice when we’re trying to convince ourselves.⁠
⁠
Sometimes we keep things because they’re close enough.⁠
Close enough to flattering.⁠
Close enough to working.⁠
⁠
But “close” requires compromise.⁠
⁠
The right choice doesn’t need negotiation.⁠
⁠
It feels settled.⁠
⁠
How many times have you made this mistake? ⁠

⁠Outfit of the day ☀️⁠
⁠
I love pieces that feel as good as they look. These jeans have such a nice stretch and smooth fit, and the comfort level is exactly what I look for in everyday style.⁠
⁠
The top is a little different from my usual tanks — I love the button-down detail and scoop neck. Fun to try something a little outside my normal style while still feeling like myself.⁠
⁠
Simple. Comfortable. Real life style.⁠
⁠Comment SMC for the link to the top and pants.⁠

Would you keep them or take them back? ⁠

A lovely way to spend my 79th Birthday. I found the perfect dress to put a smile on my face as I got ready. It might seem silly but there is truth to the idea that looking good makes you feel good. I can remember events where certain pieces of clothing are still vivid parts of my memory of those events. My girlfriend Paula still remembers what I was wearing when we first met in third grade😂
Do you have a memory that is prominent because of what you were wearing?

#LTKootd #LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm

⁠
What I think…..Right Out of The Box!!⁠ Keep or Send Back?⁠
⁠
I am telling you what the pros and cons are of each dress. Not every item of clothing is going to work for everyone. So I want to make sure to point out both the pros and the cons to make shopping a little bit easier for you!
⁠
Which one would work for you?⁠

#LTKunboxing #LTKspring #LTKootd

Keep It …… Or Send It Back?

Real honest reviews right out of the package are probably more helpful to you than my just showing you the things that I keep. So let me know if you would like me to do more of showing you both the things that I keep and the things that I do not and most importantly why! For shopping reference I am wearing a size Small in the Jacket and size 4 in the Pants. Kitten Heels are VIVAIA in Navy.

Do you avoid buying sheer tops?? ⁠
⁠
I always did and now I can not figure out why I did not just buy a nude color camisole to wear under them? it seems like the logical thing to do.....but, maybe because I didn’t have one, I would always just tell myself no too sheer. Which is crazy because with the camisole under it there is really no reason. LOL Anyway it appears you can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks!!⁠
⁠
This is a perfect example of being stuck in your ways and not even bothering with the options available.⁠

#LTKootd #LTKspringtrends #LTKgrwm

REVIEWS ARE USELESS ……………..............⁠
⁠
Unless they actually tell you something about what you might encounter with the product. Whether it is good or bad. Being able to make the decision to purchase a product that an Influencers is showing means you have to know about the good and the bad.⁠
⁠
I really liked this dress but every button hole was too small. I could have snipped the end of each button hole but you never know when you might snip too far and have all the stitching around the button hole come apart. ⁠
⁠
I love the fabric⁠
I loved the halter neck⁠
I loved the length⁠
I loved the buttons down the front⁠
⁠
I was on the fence about the belt loop detailing around the waist⁠

Did not like struggling with the buttons.
Did not really want to cut into them.
Did not love the color of the denim as it was not distinctive.
⁠
So I choose to return the dress. What would you have done?⁠trends

How I style my hair!

How many styling devices do you think are out there? There must be thousands from all the ads I see! This is not an ad I have no affiliation with the Beachwaver it just happens to be something I tried years ago and have used it ever since!

So many of you have commented on my waves. This is how I create them! I’ve been using my Beachwaver for years: most days the 1-inch for soft, flowing waves, and the ¾-inch when I want tighter curls. I love that it rotates in both directions, has custom heat settings, and the beveled clamp keeps my hair smooth and snag-free. Effortless, bouncy curls every time - Great for mature hair!⁠

What is it about shoes?? Remember when you were young and you got bright shiny new shoes and how excited you felt? I just recaptured that feeling with the Audrey Embroidered Loafer. ⁠
⁠
Not only do they feature exquisite embroidery and a round toe base for extra comfort they feature designs from The Conservation Collection and bring attention to the animal kingdom, championing biodiversity.⁠
⁠
What I love so much about the people @vivaia_official is that they are committed to using a variety of eco-friendly materials, including recycled plastic water bottles. These bottles are transformed into their signature thread and then knit into their durable and comfortable uppers.⁠
⁠
I have been working with VIVAIA shoes for a long time now and they just keep getting better and better. I am thrilled to be able to offer you a discount code “candy10” for 10% off your order.
