Wig-ed Out

I thought it might be fun to document here what I look like with my wig on. 

 I have to admit, I haven't used it in public!

I feel funny like someone will think "who's she trying to fool, that's not her real hair, hee hee". But, in some ways it is a little comforting to see myself with hair again!

Look, I've felt well enough this week to work in my gardens and the weeds are gone and the mulch looks fresh. Stay tuned for the peonies and iris blooms!

Out with my girl(s)!

My husband took me and my daughter with a few friends out to enjoy some pizza and ice cream. 

And he got a few photos of my outfit and the day. I love the look of the scarf tied up on top!

Minty

I quickly threw this outfit on one morning last week to take my daughter to school. After I looked at it more closely I really liked the way it came together!

The mint cords kept me warm during this non-spring weather we are having but also keep everything looking fresh. I took pictures first with my Hunter's as I originally wore it and then took a shot in the house with my nude heels, more refined!

I picked up these pretty earrings from Target and they added a nice bit of sparkle.

My hair has since fallen out and I will post any old photos I have to keep up with the blog...and then you'll see me sporting hats and scarves and wraps, I just need to figure out how to make them look right and make the most of it! Thanks to everyone for all of your continued support, prayers and encouragement.

Green and orange

I just love the way Kelly green and orange play off of one another. That color combination in this outfit along with leopard kitten heels makes it a winner.

And, the jean jacket ties it all together and keeps it fun.

I think this is one of my favorite early fall outfits.

 And the fact that one student looked at me as she entered lab and said, "oh, I just love those shoes!" doesn't hurt either!

Not much of a Statement?

I pulled this necklace out to participate in the Marion Berry trend of the month style challenge for August: Statement Necklaces.

And then I thought "Is this a statement necklace?".

It makes a statement about me, I like classic colors and proportions and shapes. And

It will have to do since this is what I wore!

I know it must look like I ripped the sleeves off my jacket mid photo shoot but, that was not the case. I put the vest on in the morning and went out to photograph this outfit when I decided I was too chilly and I changed to the jean jacket instead of the vest.

Country Girl

After I cut the sleeves off of my dark wash denim jacket, I thought awww shucks, maybe I shouldn't have done that.

Well wouldn't you know, I was out thrifting at the salvation army half price day and found this great dark wash jean jacket for $3.00!

Now I have a dark wash denim jacket that fits better!

And I can wear the vest, too.

Two ways Betsey

I thrifted this Betsey Johnson dress two days ago and immediately came home and wore it. It has a typical Betsey vibe with a flounce skirt, small delicate sleeves and very see through fabric. I was lucky enough to have an old black, silk GAP slip dress still hanging in my closet and it was perfect underneath. Adds a bit to the length, the fabric stills flows but,

 it keeps me covered and looking like a lady.

Worn with nude heels.

And also with heels but, a chunkier taupe sandal. (Seen here) Today, I put it on and it was cooler and I wanted a casual, not vamped up look so I tried out my trusty jean jacket and a pair of black western boots.

I love the floral toile fabric, it has such a vintage botanical look to it, a good excuse to take the pictures near my gardens.

 I left my hair in an unwashed slightly messy state. I paired it with big round sunglasses, simple gold hoops and a vintage pendant from my Grandmother. 

I think I like it best styled this way. It still shows the fun, flirty side of the dress but, doesn't look like I'm trying to be 20 years younger than I am.

But, if there was ever a designer's sweetheart dress that I could justify wearing at this age, it would be Betsey Johnson. She doesn't let age get in the way!
