WIW and somehow managed to photograph!!

The good news. DD remembered to bring the camera home this weekend. YAY.

The bad news...she has lost a part to the tripod. So I had to improvise with the camera and in our small house it is virtually impossible to find a place to set the thing where it will take an actual photo of my whole self.

However, I managed to get an almost full shot and since I haven't really been able to post photos since December, that's cause for celebration. (For me, anyway. Probably not for you!)

Anyway. A glimpse of the new hairdo with an actual outfit.

Gosh, I just love that top! The whole outfit is gorgeous!

You look perfectly breezy and cool. I love the top. Aren't those earrings from One Little Momma website? I was looking at her bracelets yesterday. In fact I think I went down that rabbit hole when someone posted a link to her site in one of your other posts! I seriously need to be working more.

Gorgeous top! The whole outfit is really nice. The earrings are nice touch, too.

Super fab outfit, and you look fantastic! I love those big earrings and the abstract-print top. Those colors are gorgeous, and the fabric looks so soft and luxurious.

Looks great! Love the earrings.

Fantastic Suz! I have to admit, being a long haired girl, I was a little less certain about your haircut -- but it looks SO great and especially great your favorite blue hues (mine too) I have a feeling most of your favorite colors are going to be fab with your natural color. Yay!!!

The colour of your hair could not be more perfect. Truly. You were meant to be grey! LOVE the earrings with the super short 'do.

Wonderful to see you post again, Suz. Missed our Queen Radiant Health.

Woohooo! I adore those giant earrings with this whole look. Go big or go home, amirite!?

(PS I am very fond of the brown brows with the gray hair. Is that natural too?)

This is great! I was all "wear more black, go dramatic" earlier - but now I see you in your favourite blues again ,and in a chic and easy outfit, and see how perfect it is.

I had those earrings on the other night at a bookclub meeting, and was so self-conscious about them , I took them off halfway through. Last year I loved them, this year? I can't make it work. Odd eh?

Lyn, the bag was a great buy a few years ago at the Bay -- it's Ralph Lauren and was on super sale and has really stood the test of time. This is the fourth summer I've been using it and it looks like new.

Lisa, I know what you mean about the earrings being a bit attention-grabbing. I love how lightweight they are and I like them more with my current hair. I am wondering about the smaller size, though. AviaMariah, you're right -- they are Nickel and Suede. I really like her stuff.

I feel as if this outfit does have a bit more drama than the other one...the abstract top, the earrings. Probably the balance that the new hair requires. Black works, too, though. I wore it yesterday!

Aida, yeah, the brows are natural with a bit of taupe pencil added. My brows are very sparse but not at all grey. Go figure.

Angie, what a sweet thing to say! I think the colour will only get better with time; there's still a bit of blonde up top (highlights) and as that gets cut out there will be even more depth and variation. Do you remember mentioning that my hair had charcoal elements? Even dyed, that came through. Now it is much more obvious and shows why charcoal is one of my best neutrals.

Texstyle, thank you so much. If a long haired woman can like it, it's got to be good! I agree that most of my old colours are going to work really well, and some new ones, too. I've been experimenting a bit.

Shedev, Rachy, Robin, Marianna, Carter, JAileen, TG, Sharan, Carla, Bonnie -- thank you!

Wow, do you wear a pixie well or what? So beautiful, Suz! You look terrific in the white and blue.

You look really beautiful. Those are perfect colours with your perfect hair.

Chiming in again to crown you Queen Silvery Blue.

Suz, YES. I remember saying that your hair had charcoal elements. The blues, pinks, greys, whites and cranberries that you usually wear are going to look EVEN better with the new silver crop.

Vildy

Veteran

ohhh, the earrings! Now everything looks so intentional. I know you've been questioning your style some - I read that whole long thread about arty architectural - but you look like a woman without any doubts.
Just beautiful from top to toe.

ETA: aren't the earrings actually a very wearable arty architectural?

I love that top and am coming to steal it from you. Seriously, I think this outfit really sums up your style so well. Distinctive but still with enough classic to ground it.

Suz

Vildy, YES. Absolutely. These are wearable arty architectural. You get it. It's a real balancing act for me -- it has to be wearable in my real life.

I'm thinking that the right accessories might be crucial to this new adventure.

Angie, thank you so much for your unremitting support and kindness. Also, yes -- all those colours and more. Many women discover that more vivid true colours look great with grey -- to be honest, I feel as if it is opening up a whole new vista for me!! It's fun. There are a few things I will (sadly) let go on our style exchange...but for the most part, what I already own will work.

Sheila, Brooklyn, Kelly -- thank you so much!!

Janet, that's exactly right. I love how you put that and may have to engrave that sentence on my arm when I go shopping. Thank you!

My pleasure, Suz. And this is the second time on YLF that your new hair has led the way to another BIG, FUN and FAB style adventure. You're going to become Queen Fire Engine Red before long too.

Stunning, Suz! Love this look and the earrings make it. I love statement earrings with short hair. You look incredible. Are you sure you want to grow this cut? It is so perfectly gamine on you. You look just beautiful.
