Dear D'Arcy

A Quick little introduction to Chit Chat Chic

A quick little introduction to Chit Chat Chic

Where to Stay and Dine in Park City!

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your January is going well. Most of you know I belong to a beautiful group of mid-lifers Called Chit Chat Chic. 5 of us, Cammi, Lisa, Michelle, and Cindy. 

A Quick little introduction to Chit Chat Chic

What is Chit Chat Chic?

We started CCC over a year ago. We all had crossed paths at some point on our social media and blog journeys, sparking a group Instagram share that Lisa organized…

This share started a dm, and we quickly became fast friends via Instagram. We shared several things in common: midlife, raising families, careers in social media marketing, fashion, beauty, and our faith. 

Realizing we all clicked, loved this friendship and bond we had created, and loved the support system we had. So we decided to do more together, collaboration blog posts, Instagram shares, Pinterest boards, and a Marco Polo, where we chatted daily.

How Chit Chat Chic was born 

Instagram launched a new feature, the 4-way Live option… I thought… this would be an excellent opportunity to share our combined knowledge and friendship and interact with our followers to build relationships with other midlife ladies on our platform. 

Instagram Live is how Chit Chat Chic Was born.

 We knew we needed to be consistent picking, a day and time that worked for everyone weekly…

Originally on Tuesday, at 6:00 pm Mnt. However, for 2022 we had to change it to Wednesday at 6:00 Mnt. 

A Quick little introduction to Chit Chat Chic

How Chit Chat Chic Live works!

We go Live on Instagram every Wednesday at 6:00 pm Mnt. With 4 CCC members ( 1 spot alternates out) for the week. 1 Host the live, with 3 co-hosts. ( occasionally a guest host) With any of our following or non-following tuning into the live on Instagram. A LIVE = in Live time with the ability to chat.

The Host picks a topic and has 6-7 questions prepared. Then, we discuss the question/ show samples if applicable and allow our following to be active in the conversation by typing their responses. 

The Topic is different every week and varies from Midlife issues, fashion, helpful tips, and reviews on products.

A Quick little introduction to Chit Chat Chic

Why Chic Chat Chic Live?

We love having this connection with our following, as we are building friendships and a community of women supporting women.

Having your following connect with you and you with them helps them get to know us from behind a screen and allows us to learn more of what our followers want and need. 

What’s ahead for Chit Chat Chic?

We have had the opportunity to start traveling together and working with brands as a group. Last August, we were Host in Park City and had the chance to work with several businesses and brands, which was exciting and opened doors for more collaborations like this. 

We have several Trips planned for 2022.

Chit Chat Chic Has its own Instagram account! And we’re thinking about a podcast. Exciting things ahead….so stay tuned.

I hope A Quick little introduction to Chit Chat Chic will help you to want to tune in live on Wednesdays at 6:00 Mnt. Here is a sample below of last week’s Live (my answers, Head to the other ladies’ blogs for their answers) Linked below … In addition, we will be recapping on our blogs for easy reference and shopping products we may have talked about!

Old is New Again…. DIY DENIM Crop Top✔️ Ye Old is New Again….

DIY DENIM Crop Top✔️

Yes … you can wear a cropped top over 50✔️

Taking that outdated chambray denim top, and creating a on trend top is really easy.

⚠️You”ll need scissors, a denim top and measuring tape..

#1. Measure how much you want to cut off… (I had a seam to follow) 

#2. Button top up

#3.Make sure it’s completely flat and  laying straight 

#4. Cut both sides of shirts at same time

#5. Use edge of scissors and fray the edge of hem, but roughing up the edge 

#6. You can wash your shirt before styling for a more frayed edge, or wear at once✔️

Enjoy your NEW Shirt!
