Friend Friday….Reader Connectedness

WOW…tough questions…but here goes.  These are great because they cause the blogger to evaluate, learn, ponder, plan, adjust……  1. How important do you think reader connectedness is to the success your blog? My desire from the beginning is that women 50+ would connect on this blog and share ideas and advice. I would love for…

“Well..maybe?”  VS Fierce!

“Well..maybe?” VS Fierce!

Cardigan: Simply Vera from Kohl’s; Trench: Espirit from Ross; Scarf: I think Sears, it’s old; Pinstripes: Lane Bryant; Liz Clairborne Boots: Marshall’s In the past, my closet has been stuffed with a conglomeration of “WELL,MAYBE?……” Over 50 years old, and I am just now learning that “Well, MAYBE?…” most often ends up in a donation pile….

Where Did The Fashion Rules Come From?

I wrote recently about antiquated fashion rules that sometimes get into our 50+ heads…well for me another one has been: DON’T WEAR BRIGHT,COOL COLORS IN WINTER MONTHS.

Snip Snip & It’s A Hit!

Fabulous Friday Fashion Notes: I do not remember where I bought this necklace, but it works perfect with the jacket!! When my children were younger, my husband traveled more for his profession. He would always bring us a present from any significant city he visited for longer than one night. I have snow globes from…

Friend Friday: Blogger Burnout!!
