LUNCH WITH FRIENDS & WINTER BEACH RESORT OOTD
Waterside Dining at Bayside
I have not lunched at Bayside Seafood Grill in the Village Shops on Venetian Bay for quite a while, so it was fun to go back again with Gail and *CSG. It’s a perfect spot to dine when you’re in the mood for seafood and classic cuisine in a waterfront setting. (They also have non-seafood items, too, of course.)
CSG ordered a Coconut Shrimp Salad, Gail the Junior Turkey Club Sandwich, and I had a Greek Salad with grilled, unseasoned chicken, olives, onions, and sweet peppers–and brought my salad dressing.
Before lunch, Gail and I also visited a cute store at The Village Shops called Panache. They feature Lily Pulitzer, Brighton, Vineyard Vines, and Hatley brands and more. It’s a lot of fun to browse and shop there.
Beach-Resort Pants Outfit
This time of year, we can have days in the 60s Fahrenheit or 80s, so if you’re planning a trip to Southwest Florida, keep that in mind and bring sweaters or jackets for easy on-off layering. A good base layer is a three-quarter or long-sleeve tee with ankle pants or jeans. This tee is all cotton, and the pants are the Talbots Chatham Side-Zip Ankle Pant, a slimmer fitting, straight-leg silhouette.
The pant comes in a variety of colors and prints, and with the side zipper is very figure flattering. Along with Talbots’ skinny jeans, which they call Jeggings, the Chatham Side-Zip Ankle Pant is one of my favorite pant styles at this retailer.
Thank you, all of you, for coming over to my blog and taking the time to view my posts during this past year. It has meant so much to me, and I’m very grateful.
Wishing all of you a safe and peaceful new decade in 2020.
Happy, Happy New Year!!

What I Wore
(ABOVE) Gabriel Chocolate Brown Matte Eyeshadow all over my lid and under my eyelashes and set with RMS Beauty Un-Powder to keep it from smudging/transferring; 100% Pure Ultra-Lengthening Mascara; Gabriel Apricot Powder Blush; and Nourish Organic Shea Butter, smoothed over Au Naturale Perfect Match Auburn Lip Pencil (c/o). Au Naturale also is available at Amazon.com and Neiman Marcus. Because this lip pencil is matte, I needed something over it to give my dry lips more moisture. Here, I used a favorite organic shea butter, but I also love a 100% Pure Gemmed Lip Gloss over it–such as Crystal or, for a bit more color, Peacock Ore.

Hello Janis ? Thanking you so much for always brightening my day when i receive your beauty blogs!
Looking lovely, classy gorgeous as always. Your fine taste always shines thru! So enjoyed beautiful pics of your dear friend
Gail! ?❤️? What a gracious beauty Gail is, i loved her smart/casual outfit! Hope you enjoyed all Christmas celebrations.
Wishing you, Gail and family a blessed healthy exciting 2020! I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Janis for all stunning Videos this year. I always so enjoy & learn so much. Less is always more as Miss Jackie O would always say.
Your classic style is priceless & thank you ????
Hello, Bernadine! It’s wonderful to hear from you again. I so appreciate you leaving your comments here. Thank you for being such an encouragement and support to me. I wish you and your family a blessed, healthy, exciting 2020, too! 🙂 Hugs ~ Janis
I love the pink top on you. You are right about those pants being very flattering. I always stopping by to see your outings and outfits. Thanks for sharing. I am turning 60 in September 2020 and you have inspired me to let my hair grow. It has been silver for almost two decades. I let it go at age 42. I have worn it shoulder length for years, but this is the year I am letting it grow longer. I also tried shea butter after your tips. Oh my goodness…why didn’t I know about it long ago. I love it.
Happy New Year!
Hi, Sandy! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and visit me again at the blog. You can’t imagine how much I appreciate it. Truly. Happy birthday in September!! (I turn 60 in August!) I’m so happy you feel inspired to let your hair grow. That’s so fun!! I admire that you stopped coloring at age 42. I wish I had done the same. I just didn’t know how much I would like it this way. Thank you for letting me know the shea butter works for you. I’m thrilled to hear it. I absolutely love the stuff and, like you, wish I had known about it decades ago. Wishing you a happy, healthy new year and wonderful, fun, new hair length/style!! Hugs ~ Janis
Too fun to see you gals at the Village on Venetian Bay again–one of my favorite places to go when we’re in the area! Haven’t been in quite awhile (I live up by Orlando) so love to see it in your pictures. You both look great–Gail doesn’t look her age at all and you are so young I won’t even comment! Ha! I’m older than Gail but try to “take care of myself” and your
ideas are very inspirational. I love to see other “mature” women dressing well and enjoying life like you and your friends do. It gives me a boost and I’m sure it does others as well. All the fashion magazines hardly acknowledge that we exist and I need your input for inspiration and encouragement! Keep up the good work! And have a happy new year!
Hi, Jane, up in Orlando! Thank you so much for leaving your sweet comment for Gail and me. I so agree with you that women our age are under-represented in the fashion world. I really don’t understand why. I remember when I was a teenager, I longed to see older women in fashion magazines (of all ages), but even back then, in the 1970s, they just didn’t exist in fashion. Hopefully it will change some day. I am so grateful for blogs and Instagram, because there are lots of women our age posting there. Thank goodness! Happy New Year to you, too! ~ Janis
As I stare into my closet, thinking back on the times I actually had a reason to get dressed, I wonder what your at home wear is like. We haven’t heard from you in awhile. Would love to know if you are shopping on line and what you are wearing!
