HAPPY MONDAY :)
I THOUGH A BLAST OF COLOR WOULD BE A GREAT START TO THE WEEK.... 
SO KA-BAM ! HERE YA GO !!! THOUGH I DO ADVISE USING DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE TO PULL OFF THE GLADIATOR LOOK. YEP, THEY WENT SOUTH IMMEDIATELY -
PLUS, I FELT KINDA SILLY...


AND, WE HAVE MORE TICKETS TO SEE LUCINDA WILLIAMS IN JULY. YIPEE-KAI-YA-YAY ! THOUGH I REFUSE TO GROUP  HER IN THE COUNTRY GENRE, JUST GREAT WRITING AND BLUES ;)


AND A SMALL PONDERING:
I THOUGHT THAT BY THE TIME I WAS 47, I WOULD BE SITTING ON A CUSHION, CHANTING KICK-@SS QUOTES ON SELF-LOVE. THE YOUNG GIRLS OF THE VILLAGE GATHERED AROUND ME WITH PERKED EARS AND LAPPING UP ALL THE ENLIGHTENED, WISE DRIPPINGS COMING FORTH FROM MY BATTERED SOUL....
BUT, SINCE I'VE GAINED AN EXTRA 20 LBS (AN ENTIRE TODDLER), I'M A BIT MIFFED. MY BOOBS ARE HUGE ! I AM STARTING TO DO THE HAND-IN-FRONT-OF-STOMACH POSES. WHY OH WHY CAN I NOT BE SATISFIED WITH HOW I LOOK? AND NO, I'M NOT FISHING FOR A COMPLIMENT AND THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY TIME I WILL MENTION IT AS MOST PEOPLE ARE TURNED OFF BY SUCH NONSENSE ... THOUGH I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BRAG WHEN I LOSE IT.  I WONDER IF MY THERAPIST HAS AN OPEN WALK-IN FOR THIS WEEK ? ( insert smiley face here ;)
HERE'S TO A GREAT WEEK AND SOME MUCH-NEEDED CARDO ;)

To Bang or not to Bang / Running with Scissors !

Ever have a moment of whimsy where all your knowledge of what is right and wrong become blurred and suddenly find yourself running with scissors in your hand ? Suddenly, you tell yourself you can do anything ! Impulsive creativity takes over your mental process and the next thing you remember is throwing a clump of hair in the bathroom trash can ?

Yep, I CUT MY BANGS !
Again!


All by Myself. Enough said !




Then , I start reading up on WHY i did it , and found a way to rationalize my impulsive scissor-happy moment.
P.S. I hate close-ups but am trying to be proud of my laugh lines !



1. LONG FACE ?  Add Bangs .


2. Highlights will add dimension to hair , especially BANGS.


3. With a long face like mine , layers around the face or curls add width to your face.
BANGS can cover a high forehead.


4. BANGS can add a special touch to an up-do.


Or Pony Tail.


5. Side-swept BANGS add dimension to dark hair.


6. BANGS can add a youthful appearance to any style.


7. Highlighted BANGS make you laugh really hard .


And make you feel "Special" like Chrissy Hynde.


The most flattering cut and style for all face types.
Heidi's shoulder-length, face-framing curls with BANGS.


Also, if you have straight hair , create more width with bangs.
Chin length bobs / cuts are ideal as they create the illusion of width.
Curls and waves also create width.
Avoid extremely long or short cuts if your face is long.

Next step , Highlights !
(Yes , I had to air-brush )

My first banged outfit post :
( In a rain storm , no less ! )


A thrifted skirt , tights, black flats ( Payless ), A cream top over a lt. green long sleeve T, purple scarf ( Dollar store), Thrifted belt, and bag. I am hooked on the cool color mixes by What Would a Nerd Wear. She comes up with the most amazing color combos !


Added a red hoodie as I was freezing and wet !




Ahh , growing older gracefully . What a trip !

BRIGHT COLORFUL DAY




Bright colors are everywhere this fall/winter from accessories to

tights and everything in between! I found these mustard shoes

the other day for less than $5.00, so decided to add some

primary colors with them. This day was sunny and a good day

to pop out in all jersey cotton. Layered with black, I even layered

my tights with socks. I felt a little bright as I usually only wear

this much color as accents to my basics. This time I added

basics to the colors! *SHOES; BASIC EDITIONS- *TOP DRESS:TARGET-*BOTTOM DRESS: ROUTE 66.

POW OF COLORS!/ LONG FLOWING RED PANTS!



I am going shopping today. This is my bohemian outfit! No Mata Hari, but this scarf is my tribute to her amazing style. Maybe that's why I like the flow of pallazo pants and long skirts? Also scarfs and pashminas!(mis-spelled?). It is a sunny day and bold colors seemed to say POW, WORLD! I'm never ready for the holidays in time, so wish me luck!




I cannot stop looking at these beautiful photos of Mata Hari! Her political ties aside, as I'm not familiar enough with them-- Her allure, her confidence, her outfits!!!!
