approprio -- it's a cheapie from Walgreens, part of a Halloween costume a year or two ago. Playing with it has kind of made me aware again that there is a lot one could do with a high quality ponytail in their own hair color. A lot of historical looks did involve fake hair added into beehives or buns --- 'course our generation has extensions. Also I'm thinking about the possibilities of hats...
Beth Ann -- Good question, I did wear the purple velvet dress until a few years ago -- with tall black boots and dark tights it was my going dancing default. I'm not sure about flares, although I've enjoyed them on others, I haven't been drawn to them for myself (yet). I can do a french twist with the length of my hair now, and this whole exercise has encouraged me to play with styling it different ways, it's so easy just to go with a wash and wear look. Same with makeup -- expanding from one main default. Many of the clothes from the challenges I do wear, and in fairly similar silhouettes, except for the more formal wear, because it's hard to manufacture a place to wear it. Folks wear Birks to the opera in this town, lol.
