Hey friends! Thank you for all the great comments on the kitchen post! I read every single comment and loved your feedback. It sure has been fun having it all finished and enjoying it all for the last week.
Today’s Fashion over 50 is old stuff again. I’ve shared this sweater before but it’s worth sharing again. I’ve had it probably 5 years and haven’t worn it in awhile, but I was reminded of how much I still like it. The color is fresh and fun this time of year.
I paired it with my bootcut Miss Me jeans that I’ve had a long time too, along with my Tony Llama boots.
The turtle neck is from Gap, again have had it for a long time.
I decided to share some outtake pics from my photographer, Mark.
He loves to keep shooting while I’m posing for pics. I’ve been experimenting with some new curly hair products and my hair was looking better than normal here. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don’t.
I really like this casual boots outfit and perfect layering for this time of year.
Fun and comfy too, we were heading to a baby’s boy’s first birthday party celebrated last weekend.
I’ve been ready up on the Curly Girl method for curly hair lately and still need to dive into it even more, but I picked up 3 new products from Target that I think will help me with my curly hair woes when I want to wear it curly. You all sure do like it curly! I do like the option of going curly or straight and the right products sure make the difference when I go curly.
Here it is after diffusing with a gel product I got. Again, my hair is naturally curly and this is using nothing but conditioner and gel products on it. If you’d like to know more, I can talk more about it next week.
I don’t have it all completely figured out and foolproof. I used the products again after these pics and then it rained on me all day and my hair was a frizz ball all over again, but I’m going to keep experimenting with it all until I get it more figured out for my type hair. There is a lot of information online about the Curly Girl method and I just haven’t learned that much about it, but I want to learn more. There are girls on Instagram devoted to it and they share their products and styling routines, so if you’d like to talk and hear more about this, I’ll share more next week, just let me know.
That’s it for this week! Hope you enjoyed this casual boot cut jeans and boots outfit. It was fun to dig these all out again and wear them.
Here are a few cardigans and jeans you might like and some are on sale (affiliate links)!

Cute Outfit, Rhoda! I have not heard of Curly Girl but would like to know more about it. My hair is thick, course and has a curl to it naturally. I’ve been wanting to experiment with curls again, I get tired of the flat iron. You are adorable!
I love your curly hair look. My hair is curly, too but it is a constant struggle to tame the frizz. Please share the products and what you have learned. Thank you!!
Love the colors and your hair…. you look younger everyday. Those long cardigans look great on tall people but not us short ones 🙁
Hi Rhonda! Love that cardigan…such a great color for Spring…you are probably seeing plants coming back to life in Georgia now. I DO love your hair curly! I had missed the backsplash blog post so I went back to read it. It makes me know that my husband and I would never survive a project like that.
You are so pretty, Rhoda, that you would look good in almost anything that you put on! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this part of your blog, however. It has really helped me!
Your hair looks great. I’m going to look into some of those products. Tell us more.
I love your hair curly. You look 20 years younger!
Your hair looks darling…keep doing it like that.
You look so much younger with your curls!
That green is one of my all time favorites 🥰 your hair looks like you just came from the salon! Love the curly look. Also….. that wreath looks so pretty ❤️
Love the outfit and would also love to read more about the “Curly Girl”method.
Thanks for sharing

You look so pretty in these pictures. Love the outfit and your hair looks great.. Sometimes we need to change it up. I do.. Have a great day.
Wow…. Super cute…. very feminine !!! And… I love your hair like that !!!! Gorgeous!!!! Thanks for sharing
I love your hair curly! Love the sweater too but the hair is the best part of these pictures!
That’s such a cute outfit, the color is great on you and your hair looks fabulous!
I’m saving the full kitchen reno post for when I have time to really study it……we’ve been traveling, I know it’ll be fabulous!
Green is your color Rhoda. You look so good in the longer sweaters. I recently purchased one at a winter clearance. I hope I like it…..since I haven’t ever owned one before. And….I like your hair styled this way. My hair is SO straight. ….I don’t have to worry about curls…..even though I would love to have some curl! I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts everyday. Keep up the good work.!!
Love your curls! Always wanted me hair to look like that,but mine is poker straight!😪
I have similar hair. Sometimes I let my hair air dry and scrunch it a bit to activate the curl. Other people love it on me but I sometimes lack the confidence to pull it off. It feels messy to me. I’d love to hear about frizz taming products and styling advice.
thank you!
HI, Lynne, I hear you! Sometimes I look in the mirror with mine curly and think people must be wondering why I went out of the house like that. It doesn’t always cooperate and sometimes feels very messy and unruly. I’m hoping these products help most of the time. The test will be summertime hair!
ok as a stick straight hair girl (!) I cannot tell you how cute your hair is curly it looks like an ad for hair products! wear it curly wear it curly 🙂 you’re so lucky to be able to wear either way! love it
WOW I love this outfit!!! Your purse/bag is fabulous too; what kind/where did you get it? You are a beautiful lady; and your hair is stunning! Please do share more information on how you got it to look like that in the photo. I too have curly/frizzy/unruly hair but I haven’t heard about the Curly Girl method so thanks for sharing that!
Thank you, Kaye! That purse is from TJ Maxx. I spotted it early last year and it was on clearance, a Cole Haan purse and it was around $100, of course all leather. Love that brand. I love it too!
Love your hair and the candid pictures.
South Louisiana=frizzy hair, so I wear mine curly, too. I have almost the same hair cut!
