Welcome to Day 20 of my 26 Days of Fall Fashion. You all know me well enough to know I love mixing stripes with leopard print so I had to add my leopard print flats to this top.
What I love about this top (it’s a little more expensive than I usually pay but I did have a coupon) is you can wear it so many ways. I could have added black pants, or I could wear it with boots. When the weather gets colder, I could add a black cardigan and a scarf.
Since we are having a mild September, I’m wearing my leopard flats and skinny jeans.
I’m carrying the Kate handbag in black from Glamour Farms (If you order anything from Glamour Farms, make sure you use my discount code to get $10 off, Spivey936.)
I love this structured bag, with the added tassel. It’s the perfect black handbag for fall and winter!
I purchased my black leather bracelet from LOFT and I have worn it with so many outfits. I also added some of my classic jewelry pieces.

So many of you have asked about how I tie my scarves, I will do a video tutorial soon or at least get some pictures of how I tie them.
I always love suggestions of what you want to see on this blog for women over 40!
Make sure you stop by and see what Jo-Lynne is styling today.

Beauty For the Heart~~My Mom was a writer and if she were here, she would be rockin the blog world. She wrote food articles for our local newspaper during one season of her life. She always included a Food For Thought.
Here is one of the poems she used: “View From the Hill”
Worry is like a distant hill, we glimpse against the sky, we wonder how we ever will get up a hill so high. Yet, when we reach the top, we see, the roadway left behind, is not as steep and sheer as we have pictured in our mind.
Have a blessed day!

Loved this! Found fringed booties at discount store but wrong size!!
Hi Cyndi,
I just found you yesterday and I am thrilled. I am a 49 year old homeschool mom trying not to LOOK like a 49 year old homeschool mom 🙂 Your style is right up my alley and I am so glad you are shopping for me! By chance, do you know of a style blog similar to yours for men???? My husband needs a serious wardrobe make over, but I don’t have time to shop for him either!
I look forward to following your blog!
Blessings,
Gigi
Hi Gigi!
Thank you so much for stopping by!! I don’t know of any men’s websites but I am planning on adding some mens fashion soon. My husband is going to be my model. 🙂

Cyndi, I am crazy about those leopard flats! I find animal print accessories make the best neutrals. They go with tons of clothing options, but they also kick up the visual interest just a touch! Your gold jewelry also looks great with the outfit.

LOVE today’s out fit. Your mom’s poem is full of wisdom, thank you for sharing it!
Got the fringe booties and I LOVE THEM‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Yeah!! They are awesome and so stylish. 🙂 Glad you like them.

Cyndi
Wonderful versatile top and handbag and you had me at animal print, lol. I really enjoyed your mother’s poem, thank you for sharing it.
I love this outfit! It’s obvious the top is well made because the stripes match at the seams. The poem is awesome! Thanks for sharing it! God bless’
Very cute outfit, am still getting used to these new swing style tops and only have a couple myself. I love them on everyone else, but when I put one on I worry if I look lumpy, or like I’m trying to hide something 🙂
Sounds like something my Mom would have said <3
Love your moms View from the Hill. I needed to hear that today.
I also mix stripes with leopard. 🙂 You look adorable as always in this outfit.
Really like this top and its color. Will have to get it when it goes on sale at Macy’s. Perfect with the leopard shoes. Loved “View From the Hill”. Your mother was very wise and it definitely shows through your inspirations. Thank you for sharing!
You look really cute and put together in this outfit. I am not a fan of big tops. I wear a size 10 but I think when I put those on I look twice as big. Like your mom’s saying. You are fortunate to have a mother who was such a positive influence in your life.
What color are you wearing on your nails? Love the nude look.
I was wondering the same thing. :))
I wrote about my nails here https://www.cyndispivey.com/2015/07/16/lets-talk-nails/. I have a wonderful nail tech and she keeps my nails looking great!

Love your beauty from the heart. Thinking of you as you miss your mom especially this week. Really love that shirt and the bag, Cyndi!
Love everything you style. Especially the way u tie your scarfs. I’m a big scarf person. But most of all I love your heart for the Lord. Your testimony for the Lord in planting those seeds.
Love the look! And your mom is still rocking the blog world through you and your sister!
Amen.

Where can it be purchased?
Thanks!

Hope that helps!

I love the stripes with the leopard! Do you change your handbags frequently? I loved the charcoal grey bag you showed a couple of days ago from QVC. I’ve seen you with a brown bag and of course a black one too. So I assume you change your bag to compliment your outfits ??? thx for your input 😉
Well, sometimes I do and then sometimes I carry a cognac bag that goes with about everything. 🙂
I’m with you on the stripes+leopard. It’s such a great look.
Love the look. Beautiful as always.
Thank you! That poem made my day (and made it into my journal).
Love the top! I’d have to order it since none of my local stores carry it so I’m wondering how the sizing runs?
Hey Rita, I think it runs true to size. I’m wearing a small.
Cyndi
This is very cute!
Hi Cyndi! Love the outfit! Does the tassel come on the purse or did you add it? If you added it, where did you get it? Thanks! Crystal
Yes the tassel comes with the purse. Sorry if that was confusing. If you didn’t like it, you could take it off.
Hope that helps!!
Blessings,
Cyndi
Love love love!!!! The outfit- AND the quote from your Mother! Wisdom! And I sure needed that visual today! Thank you!!
Have a beautiful day!
Such a cute outfit Cyndi….just got these jeans yesterday! Can’t wait to wear soon. Are you wearing a size small in this top?
Have a wonderful day ?
Yes I’m wearing a small. 🙂
