Unsurprisingly!!<br /><br />Vildy, that's a heckuvan epiphany! and it's been one of my mottos from forever - as wild as the clothes get, i want the focus to be on ME. Woman, you are just a fountain of post topics, springing up right and left! Wow!<br /><br />Ms. M, that is fascinating. And both of us have been over a year at 'sprucing up the look' - i would have thought that after a year, things would be settled down and pretty well 'ironed out' (har). But it's actually really nice to find that things keep percolating, and we aren't fossilizing! <br /><br />Happy Friday! stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-23559339696209234202011-11-17T06:21:23.191-08:002011-11-17T06:21:23.191-08:00I've always been a RATE gal, too (as a curly-h...I've always been a RATE gal, too (as a curly-haired woman, I'm going with Patti's theory.)<br /><br />However, I've been surprising myself a lot lately with some of my choices, which are leaning toward a more tailored and less casual look. I've even bought a curling iron to smooth out my curls-- something I haven't done in years (decades?). And it surprises me that this all feels like "me".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-50560585441319214312011-11-15T19:28:25.918-08:002011-11-15T19:28:25.918-08:00Since this seems to be a theme, not only with Patt...Since this seems to be a theme, not only with Patti, that textured hair (and/or skin) needs some coordinating degree of texture in the fabric, I've been experimenting with smoothing down my hair with smoother fabrics and fluffing it out more with texture. I don't have actual curly hair, though I could torture it into waviness by shampooing with conditioner only and scrunching it - until the wind hits it! I just use 2 different brushes. But no conclusions yet as to whether this is worthwhile. <br /><br />I have fashion epiphanies all the time. Today's was while trying on some things at Goodwill. Found a crisp silk wrap blouse, checked in blues and greens. I had always dreamed of this kind of 50's sophisticate style shirt. It was a a tad small and I let it go without regret because I realized that I don't want people to notice my clothes, only me, mostly my face (and variously messy hair).Vildynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-17809444778399201662011-11-15T07:10:13.191-08:002011-11-15T07:10:13.191-08:00I have a theory that we curly haired women always ...I have a theory that we curly haired women always have to have a touch of RATE. We just can't do Audrey Hepburn or Jennifer Anniston with those crisp clean-cut edges. I personally love it, and I love it on you.
