No, not that kind! I have kids smarty pants. I mean, I'm no longer a peplum virgin! I'm actually taking part in a trend while it's still a trend! Watch out! And you know I love my yellow smiley face store; my beautiful cobalt skinnies came from the World of Wally and they were $5. Booyah.
And my old lady shoes. Oh, my old lady shoes. I'm not kidding when I say they're old lady shoes. They came from my aunt. My great aunt. Who happens to be 68. Maybe they were too trendy for her? Yeah, I don't know cause they definitely look right up an old lady's ally to me. But she gave them to me, tags still on them and everything. And I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. Is that how the saying even goes? Yeah I don't know what I'm talking about. Point is, I don't turn down nuffin for free! Nuffin!

Sigh. Et tu, Lindsey? At 63, I'm close to your auntie's age, and many of us object to "old lady"as a descriptor. While it is undeniably true (again, sigh...)
ReplyDeleteEhh I'm 38 and always and forever have been proud to be an "old lady" I've never followed trends or what everyone else is doing. If it's comfortable, I'm wearing it. Love the old lady shoes and that top is to die for precious on you. Oh, how I wish I could pull of those pants but color makes me nervous. (wink) You look beautiful all together; and even better 'cuz it's a thrifty outfit!
ReplyDeletelove your necklace!

Aww Jan! You've got it together girl! I guessed I should have clarified that it's not your age that makes you an "old lady" because you're always rockin it!
ReplyDeleteI had these pants stored in my closet for 2 months before I finally worked up to actually wearing them! And rock on for wearing what YOU like! :)
ReplyDeleteThank ya!
ReplyDeleteNope, sorry, you can't be an old lady at 38. Nope. You're not. Too young, to cute. Nope.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of maybe "extraordinarily experiened adults." Or perhaps "entirely matured grown-ups" or "extreme citizens".
ReplyDeleteOMG! Extreme citizens, I love it!! Thanks for the suggestions!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your peplum top and can't believe the great price! New follow-- love your blog!

ReplyDeleteI'm giving peplum a whirl soon too. Love this lacy interpretation.
ReplyDeleteThese sandals are awesome and I totally would be happy to wear them! I'm a size 7, lol. If I didn't have such big hips I would love to wear a peplum! Seriously I'm totally jelly that you can. Just pinned this as one of my favorites in my Passion to Fashion favorites, xoxo

GREAT look! I love the nail polish too!!
ReplyDeleteReally cute outfit, the peplum's are great, I wore a lot of peplum's in the 80's! I had a favorite dress that was peplum over a pencil skirt, so cute : ) Those are cute shoes too, and don't seem old ladyish to me. (now that I'm 52, 68 doesn't not seem old either! )
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit you look chic!
