Ok, I thought that title might get your attention. As for a real life face lift, as in surgery on my face, well I’ll be right out honest here I am a chicken when it comes to surgery and I absolutely hate going under so unless it’s a life or death necessity, no actual surgery for me.
As for the face lift, well after blogging now for a little over 3 years I have decided it was time to be a grown up girl and get a face lift. When I first began blogging I had absolutely no idea how to blog or what I was getting into and I’ve just slowly taught myself step by step. Also, when I had my blog ready to begin we learned that teatimewithtrina was also taken as someone’s domain name, dang because I loved that name. But I went ahead and used it with wordpress.com. The only problem is I’ve been limited to plug ins and some other fun things. Enough babbling, anyhow it was just plain time for a face lift. After I had lunch with the ever talented Leigh Ann from (yourhomebasedmom) she casually mentioned I might want to contact Cathy @wordpressbarista, which I did. She is now my facelift surgeon and I’m so excited.
The new changes should take place within the next week or so and I certainly wouldn’t want to lose any of you, my wonderful friends. If you have subscribed through email, no need to worry, you will automatically be receiving my new posts. But if you have subscribed to teatimewithtrina.wordpress.com through your feedreader, you will need to take just a moment and cancel my old feed and resubscribe to www.trinasteatime.com. I actually like this new name even better!
Now, I can’t just leave without sharing something fun, right? So about some double grey stripes! Because grey’s my go-to-color for the season.
This entire outfit was shopped from my closet only. The skirt is, I believe going on 4 years now and I took this cardigan and modernized it by wearing it as a sweater (all buttoned) instead of a cardi.
When I wear shorter, fully skirts I prefer to wear flats, just seems sto fit the style for me better. What about you? How to you style shorter skirts?
As for the real life face lift . . .
Well, I think I’ll just embrace these smile wrinkles, thinking lines, and age spots because they’re a happy reminder of the life I have lived.
As always my friends, thank for dropping by today. Have a most wonderful Friday.

I like the new name better too! Good luck with the move. I hope it all goes smoothly. As for the facelift, it scares me too!
trinagrandinetti says
I hope it goes smoothly also. So far I trust Cathy to the T. She has been delightful to work with.
Suzanne Carillo says
That title did get my attention! LOL
I’m too scared along with you for the real thing. I’m going to have to learn to love the changes. Not sure exactly how that happens…
I can’t wait to see your blog update!
I love the full skirt. I still often wear a small heel with a full skirt. Anything to elongate my legs.

I’m still trying to love the changes that comes with age too. What’s with the gravity bit, haha.
No Fear of Fashion says
I wear boots with a full shorter skirt. And I don’t wear them in summer any more. Too girly for a 61 year old. I even got rid of my beautiful white one… Sigh. As for the title of your post… you didn’t fool me for a minute. I knew you were never going to do that. And if you ever thought about it, you wouldn’t shout it out. You are not like me… Haha.
And I think your closet provides you with lovely stuff.
Good luck on your blog facelift ( I have subscribed by email, so no sweat.
Oh you have to warn bloggers who have you in their list of “I follow these blogs..” Like me. They have to change the url.

trinagrandinetti says
Thanks for the info about the ‘follow blogs and url’s’. And really if I ever did get brave, I wouldn’t hide it from my friends, in fact it would actually be something to shout about, haha.

You had lunch with Leigh Ann? How fun–I’ve read her blog for years. I love the new name too–great upgrade. As for the facelift, I’m with Iris, who said “why mess, you could come out looking like Picasso.” Not true for your cute blog though, of course ;).
trinagrandinetti says
Haha, and with my luck I might just end up looking like Picasso. I should have called you to join us for lunch, next time we get together I’ll grab you on my way out.
Melanie says
I am excited to see your blog makeover! I shall absolutely make sure I’m signed up for it. I like lower heels with a full skirt too, especially if it’s a bit short. And I like your colour combo. I’m seeing a lot of grey this season and I’m not complaining.
I would be afraid that the nerve-endings in my face might shift if I had a face lift and I don’t think I would like it.
trinagrandinetti says
Haha, yep me to with the nerve endings.
Dawn Lucy (@FashShouldBFun) says
