PRETTY PAISLEY PRINT - fashion at 50

I met a couple of my girlfriends for breakfast and a little life catch up conversation last week at a local restaurant.  It had been a while since we got together and it felt really good to see them and to hear how their families are doing.  I have always enjoyed the company of women so these times are really important to me.

These particular friends and I have know each other for many years so they would not have batted an
eye if I showed up in my gardening grubbies but since I don't get to see them very often I thought it was the perfect time to wear this pretty lace sleeved paisley print t-shirt (same) that I ordered from JCPenney.

It is a little more fitted than I am used to but the fabric has a bit of spandex in it so it holds it's shape nicely without being too clingy.  I paired it with these dark wash skinny jeans (same) and my favorite blue espadrille slides (same).

For jewelry I kept it simple with a pretty gold tassel necklace (similar), a gold stacked bracelet (similar) (similar), gold drop earrings (similar) and watch (same and at a great sale price).

I love a top with a pretty print on it like this paisley t-shirt because accessorizing it doesn't take much thought, just keep it simple.

Speaking of gathering with girlfriends, I don't know it I ever told you what a fan of the cooking network, especially the shows that introduce you to the hosts friends and family.  Even though I am not the greatest cook in the world I do find inspiration in the hospitality and friendships they encourage.  In fact, I think I'll work on a blog segment featuring my favorite food show life hacks and invite a few friends over to join in.

What do you think?  Want to join me?  Wouldn't that be great?  Hmmm....now how to make that happen.  Stay tuned...
