Real life got really lively....
Got a case of the heeby-jeebies about the 'avatar', 'is it real of Memorex?' issue.......
Didn't have anything style-related to say......
After about one and a half years of knuckling down on my wardrobe and my style, getting dressed became - just super easy. No thought, just grabbed 'the obvious' from the closet, threw it on and loved it. I'd reached a tipping point where all that thinkin' and plottin' paid off. 'The goal' is reached, resulting in not much to say!
But recently.........my mom left a pitiful sounding comment, pining for the 'glory days' when i'd post OOTD looks several times weekly. Vildy has been putting some amazing thought into her wardrobe by using my outfit checklist (and referring it to web-friends as well!) I had a blogger meet-up with Ravina Sniper, an incredibly sincere and sweet lady who looks even more like a glam Sarah Jessica Parker in person.....
and then our Styling Fairy Godmother plunked her magic twanger in my direction (read to the end). I figured i better show up here soon, after all what can a quarter hour of blogging hurt, every now and then?
Only one way to find out!
Yay - you're back! Love the shoes. Are those new? I don't recall seeing you wear open toed shoes before in your ootd.
ReplyDeleteThe styling in the first picture is genious!!!Totally worthy of a come back! Glad to hear from you and keep posting
ReplyDeleteI happy to learn that there is a point where all the style-thinking pays off!
ReplyDelete[By the way, I did go ahead and cut my own hair and I dare say it is the best haircut I've ever gotten. It's very simple, just a blunt cut but it works, just the way I'd hoped it would!]
Oboy! 8-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my whining paid off - too bad it didn't for you when you were growing up, as I recall. I was a mean mom, but look at the results! (Oh, now I'm just bragging....)
OMG! The first part of the
ReplyDelete'Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!' was
'I'm Buster Brown, I live in a show. Here's my friend, Froggy, he lives in here too!' Then came the famous dictate to plunk your magic twanger.
Thank you for finding that, Steffi - and for posting it! OMG! Way too exciting for a Saturday....
So happy to see you again! Yay for your mom! So you've got this style thing down, now you can share more with us : >
