I don't like the trend, but i thought it would be interesting to do it the cheap way
All thrifted except for the sweater bought retail for $5
Do you see spots on the skirt?
Jacket- Thrifted- YWCA - $5
Sweater- Retail - Forever 21 - $5
Spotty skirt- Thrifted- Renaissance - $5
Tights- Ardene - $3
Shoes- Thrifted- Renaissance- $6
But I prefer colors and mixing my own trend
I wear what makes me happy
At 53 i have no time to waste with fashion rules for girls of my age
And i don't care frankly!
Jacket - Thrifted - $1
Vanity Fair top - Retail
Skirt - Thrifted
Shoes - Thrifted - Etienne Aigner - Surprisingly comfortable

Happy Birthday Ariane! I sure love that graphic tee on you!
Happy Birthday, you gorgeous and wise woman!!
I love the mod-looking black & white on you, you've certainly got the body for a mini skirt and heels, but I love you in your trademark colour even more!
Have an absolutely wonderful day, I shall raise a glass of wine in your honour later! xxxxxx
Brightest birthday wishes dearest Princess Ariane! xoxo I hope you have a wonderful day.
Yes, black and white is trendy, but we must do colour, and do it our way. You look fabulous in your mod sixties look. Ah, to think we were born in 1960. Oh la la!
{Yup, I can see the spots. Oh well, didn't notice them until you pointed them out.}

Ariane, hi! I wouldn't have seen those spots if you hadn't have said they were there. I would have thought they were on my monitor screen. hahahaha. Great outfit! I love your Vanity Fair shirt! HAND IT OVER AND NO ONE GETS HURT, hahahaha. You have definitely inspired me in the color department. My post tomorrow will have blue tights. I so admire your fashion courage, soooo!
Happy birthday Ariane!! you look FABULOUS!!
We February babies ROCK!!
happy birthday und alles gute:)

Happy Birthday my dear!
You are the most stylish over fifty girl I ever know. Keep on being colorful and extraordinary.
I wish you all the best, a magnificent birthday party and a wonderful trip to San Fransisco.

Happy Birthday, Ariane!!!!! Hope you have a uber-fabulous day!! This outfit is a great way to bring it forward on your birthday...you look amazing!!
Happy Birthday, Princess Ariane!
It's funny, the monochrome outfit is super-stylish and you look great... But you don't look like YOU somehow, the lack of colour seems strange. Loving the t-shirt, mini skirt and velvet jacket, that's the Ariane we know and love!
Have a great day with Izzy and Mr D. xxxx
Happy Birthday! You ARE a princess! Love your Mary Janes. I just had a BD, too. I turned....oh I can't even say the number but it's bigger than yours.
Happy birthday!! Looking fabulous :)
Happy Bday!!! Love the princess drawing!! I am kind of weird and really love little kid art. All your outfits are amazing-- f@ck the rules!
Becky :)
You're a princess every day, and you look great in minis! I love colors, but I also love that black and white sweater - it looks very hip.
Hope you're having a lovely day - happy birthday!
Yoou are one of my biggest muses!
Haaaapy b-day, rock on you princess!
hugs

Happy Birthday fellow Pisces!
I am so happy I found your blog because your style is so fabulous. I love that $5.00 sweater & your colour rich outfits.

Happy Birthday, Ariane! You look wonderful. Here's to an equally wonderful year! The drawing of you does you true justice as it's so youthful and colourful. Xoxo
Happy Birthday!! We're February babies! I also turned 53 on the 18th.
I love your attitude about fashion! You look VIVACIOUS in colors, but I love your b&w outfits, too!
OMyGosh Ariane! I am so rude!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
TIMES 52!!!!
Happy Birthday! You are the 3rd person today with a birthday - 2 of my real life friends/coworkers also had birthdays today!
I love both outfits, but the coloured one the most (of course).
Hope you had a wonderful birthday Ariane. Mr D's grandaugher is a talented little girl and I love you in the black and white but I think you do look happier in colour. I love love those shoes. xx
Ooh Happy Birthday! I hope you had a perfect day. The colour photos are much better!
You are a princess everyday and Leonie is a wonderful artist! Happy, happy birthday beautiful woman!!! Despite our dislike of trends, you are killing that black and white outfit and I'm very proud that it's 99% thrifted:). But the real Ariane is in all that wonderful, divine bold colour - my heart is bursting with pride that you just go your own way. Here's to another wonderful year of giving trends the finger!! xoxoxoxoxo
Happy birthday dear Ariane. You look spectacular as always, both in black and white and brilliant colors. I hope that you had a wonderful day with your beloved family.
happy birthday, dear lady!!, love your style in black&white and in technicolor, and your great attitude!, you're fabulous wearing mini skirts and pretty tights with heels!! love it!!
besos & partytime
Happy birthday, my dear Ariane.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Happy birthday Ariane xx
Well, happy birthday to you, dear girl! You're looking dynamite (as usual). There's no way anyone would guess you are 53. More like 35! Anyway, I hope you were surrounded by love and good wishes, and I will add mine (although a bit late!)
I thought perhaps you were a Pisces (like me). We are so creative and colourful, us fishes!
Much love from England,
Rosemary from www.foreveronthecatwalkoflife.blogspot.com
I was like...she's in black and white? Total confusion...then I saw the color! Seriously, both looks are great on you. I agree...we're old enough to wear what we want to. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com
Hope you had a great birthday, loving your outfits, wow I need some of your black and white tights they look fab :)
Fifty-three? Join the club I'm right there with you. I love your black and white outfit. That is so cool.
Ariane! Oh you are so fun. Thank you for your exhilarating comment! Coming from you, the Color Queen, [oh ah btw if you were wanting to ever change the name of your blog, you could EASILY change it to the COLOR QUEEN] hahahahaha.
Listen to this:
I shopped at Plato's Closet last night and got a Cookie Lee bracelet for $3 and a Forever 21 Top for $5. Yup! The top is way interesting. It is muted colors of Gray, Turquoise, Yellow and Orange in a extra large pattern of an Aztec symbol and it has a 5 inch fraid (sp?) hemline that dangles around the midriff. Ahhhh! I love it! Just had to share that info. Have a super dee dooper weekend!!!
Belated happy birthday greetings :) You are the best looking 53 year old I know!! I wish I look just as fresh and vibrant when I hit the 50s myself. :)
Belated happy Birthday!
I love your fashion sense
and your zest for life.
Love the way you mixed the houndstooth tights and checked skirt...it's really fun to look at and very creative!

Quelles belles tenues d'anniversaire ! Le jeu graphique en noir et blanc est génial et ça te va très bien aussi !

oh Ariane! I have the best time at your blog. You are strongly influencing me to add more and more color to my wardrobe. That red sweater has been in my closet for around a month. I was going to have it be my Valentine post but decided to use the Velvet BLACK dress instead, but I did wear my red heels and polish. hahahaha.
What is taking you to San Francisco? and do do share the swap clothes as posts. I LOVE SWAPS!!! Our church has them and I go wild!!!!
Femtiotre (Swedish) and looking mighty fine!
Although I love both these outfits and the monochrome pattern mixing is fabulous, I do prefer you in your colourful ensemble.
I hardly ever wear white cause I feel almost transparent and ghost like when I do, it's a shame really cause I do have some splendid broderie anglais cotton frocks in white...another thing about white is that it rarely stays like that for very long in this house...most my hubby's "white" tees have a tinge of another colour, I try to wash them separately, I really do but there's always a sneaky something getting in there with them...och!
I think that "Fashion rules" are made by people that want to spoil other peoples fun and hem in their creativity cause they have none themselves..poop to that I say!
Let them live in their beige world with all their crappin' rules and we can live in our technicolor one with the freedom to explore our personal style to its very limits :)
Happy belated birthday Ariane! I hope it was fun you only turn 53 once and might I add how beautifully you wear it! Always love your bright clothes!
XXOO
The black and white pattern mix is outstanding.
You pulled it off like a master :)
and you are a beautiful and amazing 53 year old -
remember that 50 is the new 40 ;)
