Wowee.... It's hot tea weather here in Missouri. Today I'm wearing lots of Christmas gifts (yay!). Oversized Sweater from UO, this reworked vintage dress from my personal collection (kicking myself for not taking 'before' photos as it would have been perfect for Project ReStyle), Vintage fawn purse, Platforms from Jessica Simpson Collection (Larson found them on my b-day wish list... how sweet!) and this custom key necklace from BuenoBueno (it says Mrs. Larson... my favorite stocking gift! I've been wearing it every day).♥ Thinking of dying my hair chocolate brown with baby bangs and extensions this week... thoughts?




What color line did you use for the red you're currently rocking?

Hi Lisa, my current hair color was professionally dyed bright red with a reddish brown (home dye) over the top. It's sorta a mis-match. Wish I could help more. ;) Thanks for asking.

Please get extensions so I can live vicariously through you. I'm going to the AF and I'm way too scared to get them now and have to do maintenance on them while in Basic. Long hair is super gorgeous, and you'll rock it very nicely. P.S. I LOVE the key necklace. It's so marvelous to see everything be up-cycled these days and turned into sweet little treasures. Love, K

that sweater and those shoes rock. you look gorgeous.

The only style I would recommend is whatever is low maintenance, since you're such a worker-bee :)
Your outfit is gorgeous. I'm in a rut for dressing warm in the cold (in Florida but it's in the 20s-30s lately, not prepared!) I'll have to skim your archives for inspiration.

i L O V E those shoes! perfekt! :) are they vintage or can i buy them somewhere? ;)

i got a custom key as well with mine and my fiances name on it....only ours has a tree instead of the anchor.
the brown color and extentions sound great...but im on the fence about super short bangs. im a fan of the long bangs your rockin. i had bangs for 14 years of my childhood and now that im older i get the bug every once in a while to cut them again...but havent yet taken the plunge.

I am IN LOVE with this color combination. My all time favorite Orla Kiely pattern is a mink/mushroom color with light pink, and this reminds me of it. :)
I wish I could wear heels like that... they are SO pretty.
I love your bueno key necklace too! Too cute!
the hair.... I love red on you, but chocolate brown is definitely your color (plus the red will still show in undertones=pretty!) Baby bangs = do it!! Can't wait to see!!
loves

Ahhh, I need a custom key necklace! It is perfecttttt!

I love blush and camel. I say go for baby bangs even though they arent my fav look. They grow so fast that it is an easy fix if YOU don't like them.

absolutely LOVE this color combo! what a great stocking stuffer too:) love thoughtful gifts like that, they're the best!

Do it! Change is always nice. Specially this time of year. Those shoes are amazing!
Posted by: Amanda | December 29, 2010 at 01:52 PM
I am a new reader and didn't realize you were located in MO. I live in St. Louis so you are not far away. I may have to venture to see the store at some point.
