PUSHING A PRODUCT!

August 15, 2017 127 Comments

 

SHOPSVELTE.COM

DEFINITION of SVELTE:(of a person) slender and elegant.
I LIKE THAT DEFINITION VERY VERY MUCH!

I have ARRIVED in THE BLOGGING WORLD!I have been contacted to ADVERTISE for A CANADIAN COMPANYhttps://www.shopsvelte.com and their products!This has happened a few times before but since I do not consider MYSELF a REAL BLOGGER or make money from my site I have REFUSED THE KIND OFFERS.

However, this time the PRODUCT CAUGHT MY EYE and I thought WHY NOT……….everyone else seems to do it!I am ALWAYS A BIT…………… S L O W in following the FADS!

So, I was allowed to pick one item and they would send it to me………FREE.

I picked the denim legging as I have been looking for the PERFECT PAIR that would fit my body for years with NO SATISFACTION until NOW!

Something said to me…………”TRY THESE!”

 

EVEN SIR WINSTON SEEMS TO APPROVE!

 

FOURTH POSITION from those BALLET DAYS!

LOOK TOO HOW LONG THEY ARE ON MY 5’11” FRAME!

 

 

I ALWAYS COVER MY REAR END SO IT WAS HARD TO GRAB THE MATERIAL AND LIFT UP WHILST HOLDING THE BOUQUET!I THINK YOU SEE THE FIT AND THE LENGTH IS TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!

Please do not allow your EYE To drop to the BLACK cloth on the GROUND the ITALIAN is SUPPOSE TO FIX THAT!IT keeps the WEEDS AWAY!However, they went a little TOO HIGH around the GRAND OLD PLANE TREE!

NOTE THE POINTED FOOT!!!!!!!With the ARCH holding the hem of the DENIM LEGGING!

This is a BIG DEAL for a TALL GAL LIKE ME!

WE just doNOT find this OFTEN!

I wanted to DO A GRAND JETE for YOU ALL but that was NOT TO BE!

INSTEAD,

you get the THIGH held by the DENIM LEGGING held TAUNT and looking MUSCULAR!

I REALLY LIKE THE FEEL AND LOOK………….DO YOU?

LONG PEARLS came from NEIMAN MARCUS years ago………MY MOTHER BOUGHT THEM.WE have TWO SETS!The others were a BIRTHDAY GIFT from a WOMAN WHO KEEPS ON GIVING!!!!!!!!!

MY GRAND DOG GOOSE AND I SHARING A MOMENT IN THE GARDEN.

    Kudos to Shopsvelte!! They would be very wise to contract with YOU for modeling their stylish garments. Most photos of clothing are utterly boring… your backyard shoot brims with color and verve and beauty. These are the photos that would inspire purchases vs. the passport photo look of most sites. I think you are the PERFECT model/spokesperson for the over 40 woman–of which there are gazillions– who are all looking for the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH : ) Hope Shopsvelte is listening…

    LOVE the leggings –amazingly flattering and look so comfortable. And this site has other classic looks I love–pencil skirts, jeans etc. You are an incredible inspiration: to LEAN INTO growing older and to have FUN on the journey… XOXO

    I’m only 5’8″, but have always had trouble with the lenght of clothes (usually my arms more than my legs, but it’s all relative!)
    You look delightful, as always. So smart of Shopsvelte to reach out to you. I will check them out and add them to my IG feed as well.
    Love to all your housemates! <3

    You look so chic, these leggings fit you perfectly! Love this fashion shoot! ShopSvelte was so right to choose you. Did the Italian take the photos? Lovely.
    Saw you and Katherine on Instagram. You both look like you are really enjoying yourselves. How fun to catch up. I tried to comment, no luck. Maybe you or one of your readers can help a girl out {me}. I THINK my hashtag is @molinovitelli. I am late to that party!

    Ma Chere Contessa,
    My favorite photo was the pose with Goose. You look terrific in the denim leggings.
    You make a perfect model for svelte!
    Don’t know if short, rather round folks like me can morph into someone svelte with a little clever costuming…But your blog makes me feel like all things are possible and that perfection is over rated. You continually encourage me to enjoy the moment!

    Good call on Svelte’s end to partner with you. I am Canadian and had never heard of the company. Also notice the number of Canadians who have posted. FYI – they offer products in different sizes, not just tall and leggy like La Contessa. I have checked out their website and will be ordering even if I win. Only hoping they look half as good on me.
