When you get your news from Facebook and see that your team’s football coach

has signed a new contract, 

A fashion blogger has no choice but to respond by styling a Team Spirit Outfit! 

It’s not easy to put together a body skimming look right now, but for the sake of my team, I did just that! 

True confessions I looked in the mirror and thought not too bad…

I know better than to trust my mirror, so I asked my son to take a quick photo inside while my hair was still wet. 

That test passed as I didn’t hate how my body looked with this menopausal gain…

I may not love it , but it’s progress not to detest it! 

The number 33 is significant because it’s the year the Steelers were established.

It was fun to wear a sporty outfit off season.

I of course had to do a nod to the black and gold of my team by choosing a yellow watch and handbag.  

Being matchy is what Team Spirit is all about! 

Dear Readers, Day one of no diet soda went very well.  I had a coffee/ banana smoothie this morning and water the remainder of the day, so no other caffeine.  It’s 11:00pm as I  type this and I am feeling tired, which I usually don’t expereince.  Let’s hope I sleep well. Last night I went to bed at 1am and was up by 6:30am and not happy about it. 

Gratitude

I am grateful for a fun outfit inspiration for the day, some days a stylist needs help!
