WIW 5/3 and 5/4: RATE hair for the weekend

1. My Marine is here for the weekend and yesterday we went to the theatre so I got to dress up a little. I've had this dress for a while but I feel like the reptile print is still fairly current.

"Snake" dress: Veronica M
Black belt: don't remember
Black sandal booties: Payless
Black quilted clutch: Topshop

I left my hair curly for the first time since I got it cut, and I was happy with how it turned out. DS liked it, too, he spontaneously told me, "You look very fab today!" as we were having our post-show dinner!

2. Today we're going to the movies and I'm busting out several new-for-this-summer pieces. LOVE these silver Birks! And I think the new white boyfriends are going to see a lot of wear this summer.

Gray striped top: Target (Merona)
White BF's: Joe's Jeans
Silver sandals: Birkenstock

And the hair? It's even more RATE on the second day, but I'm embracing it and channeling my inner Una!

Thanks for looking and sharing your thoughts! And Angie! Loving the "Finds" function! Big fun!!

HAHAHAHA! The funny thing is that my hair gets less RATE the longer I let it go! You look marvelous though and a date with your Marine is the best EVER. Waving to Birkies - I am loving these like no other right now. Smooches!

MsMary

Una, I was noticing that about your hair! It looks quite polished, if you don't mind my saying so! And yes! These silver Birkies are the BEST! They are the perfect replacement for my late, lamented pewter Topsiders!

Smooches back!

Yes and you can showcase fab toenail colors too!

As my hair gets longer it becomes really polished on its own - I don't even brush it. The pics from yesterday are with BEDHEAD. Sheesh. Weird...

MsMaven

What a great dress! I think your RATE hair goes well with the snakeskin. Love the top in #2 as well--you look polished in both photos.

Yes, loving the toenail display! I went with citron to match the yoke of my striped top, which was not, I fear, an unmitigated success with my skin tone. But still fun to have the tootsies showing.

And I envy you your bedhead. What you see above in photo 2 is my decidedly UN-polished bedhead!

Both outfits are great and I love your RATE hair! I wish mine would look so good when blow dried. Mine looks like bedhead, but not in a good way.

Your hair looks amazing like that. It's fascinating how much it changes your look.

Great dress and birks, too.

You need to try white! It looks awesome with silver and would look great with the jeans.

So cute!! I love the waves, they're extra fun for weekend to add an additional level of laid-back vibe. Snakeskin dress still looks super to me.

Just looked again and I guess the change is from two different things that play well together: the neckline of the dress and the wavy hair. Your classic look is chic and polished with a blazer and slick hair. The exposed collarbone and curly hair really change the visual effect dramatically! Both are good looks, for sure, just different enough that I got sidetracked analyzing it.

I love your RATE hair! #1 is perfect for date and still very current. I don't think animal print will ever be outdated. Loving the silver Birks and fun yellow in #2 as well. How I love your shoe collection!

Day Vies

Oooh, look at you! You were tapping your RATE side this weekend. I like it. I adore that dress and sandal combo. Striking!

dustt

so jealous of the SERIOSLY awesome curly hair!! and the grey striped top - Target!! - I'm going to get one - it is perfect with the white pants!!

LACeleste

Love it all! Fantastic Marine anecdote!

Peri

I like your hair like that! And that's a great dress.

I'm loving your RATE hair and cage heels with the frock in #1. You look radiant, powerful, strong, formidable and pretty.

Caro in Oz

I love your hair au natural MK - YLF.

Dee

Oh wow, I love your RATE hair! Especially with the edgy dress and sandals in #1.

Deborah

Great looks and your hair does look fab. I do hope the reptile print is still ok as I will be taking my snake print tunic into it's 3rd year:)

Zibbets

#1 is perfection!
Love the python dress and your hair!

Jaime

RATE hair, turned up white jeans, silver birks - you own it!

Anonymous

I adore your hair in 1, you look so pretty in that outfit, happy, too!

Karie

I love it when you let your hair go wavy! Those shoes are fantastic, and the reptile print looks very current to me.

Gigi

Oooh, I'm loving your RATE hair in #1. Looks much better than my RATE hair (I have fine wavy hair too). It's such a different look for you! It goes well with your weekend casual outfits.

I'm glad you're enjoying the toenail polish. I bought some mint green polish, which is a disaster with my skin tone, but like you say, you have to live a little!

Neel

Outfit 1 has sent me into an orbit! Wow! The RATE hair is so stylish!! And those birkies look super fab on you! And DS knows how to make mommy happy

Ariadne

Oh my gosh, you look amazing. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE the wavy hair! And, of course, the clothes and Birkies are fab.

rabbit

You look great in both outfits and the hair.... it's seriously sending you into Charlize Theron/younger Virginia Madsen territory. My fav is the snake dress.

The curls play nicely with the new cut! #1 looks very now and so chic!

Love both iterations. The wavy hair is lovely!
