Wow, thanks for all the wonderful comments ladies! Glad #2 is going over well, I know white leggings/hose aren't everyone's cup-o-tea. You all have reignited my desire to find that perfect pair of red jeans!
Taylor - Thank you!! I do need to learn more ways of putting my hair up since I wear it up 2/3 of the time. At least I can now do the half-up+slight pouf, the slicked pony, and the pony+bang pouf instead of just pony Any suggestions for something new to try?
Carole - No worries, I wore lots and lots of sunscreen (applied 2x in 3 hours); I'm far too fair-skinned not to ^^
Anna - I am definitely trying to push myself stylistically, happy you can see it After feeling frustrated for a couple weeks I'm starting to get a good sense of where the limitations I'm feeling are in my wardrobe. Moving to trendier looks, I think. Now I just need to do more shopping!
Heather - I almost didn't get them back then, they were like 1.5 sizes too small. Glad I kept them and stuck to my healthying-up plans so they fit now! I do wish they had a higher rise though, even normal low-rise instead of uber-low-rise would be great; if they did I wouldn't have to keep looking I've got a couple other outfits with them that I still need to post!
