Karen: Thank you. It was interesting what you said about high contrast, as I always think of myself as preferring low contrast. But I do like lots of texture and pattern so it's neat to know that this registers as a contrast in a way that I didn't even realize. As far as styling products, I am enjoying Aquage transforming paste because it is a little heavy, and when my hair is this short it wants to get puffy and stand out from my head. I also like Redkin's Wax Blast and sometimes use Sukesha maximum hold hair spray to really lock it down when it's misbehaving.
Textyle: Thank you!
Ryce: Thanks! I got that ring in Asheville from a little shop that sells jewelry made by artists. I loved that piece and couldn't resist getting it on my last trip. Thank you for noticing.
Juniper: I'm so glad you enjoy a similar style. I should play around a little more with my hair. Sometimems I get stuck doing it the same way, but every once in a while I switch it up.
Angie: Thank you! You are always so kind and I really appreciate the encouragement that it isn't just clothing that impacts our style. It is so easy to forget...
Emilly: Awww, thank you!
Linder: Thank you. But I have to confess that I am cheating things a bit with the camera angle and cheating a LOT with the makeup. I think that my eyes are average to small, but I will use all of the smoke and mirrors at my disposal to make the most of them.
Greyscale: I really appreciate your thoughtful and insightful assessment. Your words really help me to put the pieces of the puzzle together even more. Thank you for taking the time to describe what you see!
Summer: Thank you. I am a little worried that the glasses are too big for my face. They also don't photograph like they look in person so I'm glad you like them. I do love the color and pattern of them so much.
Jlpp: Your comment made me smile. I often think that I'm actually a pixie and then it hits me that I'm a grown up... and a real person. Which is kind of a let down.
Thanks, Bonnie and Joy! I feel like I shouldn't like gray because it's such a non-color, but I can't help it. I really love gray! Thank you for the validation. (Joy, I think the photo is making the ankle strap look like knee highs...)
