I decided that I needed something cool to wear with skirts and had some lovely swiss dot that I thought would be comfortable to wear.
So to be the last person to get on the peplum bandwagon before it left the station and I decided to make Vogue 8880:
Here it is on Vogue's favourite crabby model.
And here it is on me, less crabby I hope in two views. One I think is a better picture of me and one that is a better picture of the top, construction wise. The skirt is the Magic shirt in stretch cotton poplin made last summer:
I am pretty pleased with this top from the wearablilty point of view, and will probably make another one with longer sleeves in a knit at some point.
O.K. I have a styling question for you.
I got new glasses.
I felt I needed an update but so far around here the only person who likes these glasses is Miss Scarlett. She is three and also thinks wearing sparkly princess crowns is the best way to dress up so her's is a minority opinion stylewise. I told my daughter that I thought I needed to look hipper and she pointed out that was fine except I am not exactly hip (your own kids tend to miss these things in you) and she wonders if I have spent too much time in the East Village this year. Personally I am not sure I have spent enough time in the East Village.
Anyway.
Over the last year I have let my hair go natural a.k.a. grey owning to the fact that hair dye does not one damn good thing to my hair, even my hairdresser says she has never seen any head get so frizzy and fried with the mildest of all formuals (she muttered something about my hair was short on protein, which didn't seem to me to be a highly scientific analysis).
Anyway I need some honest second opinions since it seems to me that these new grey glasses are bringing out the grey in my hair, so my question is - should I colour it? Hair dye is cheaper than new glasses.
Does anyone know of any really natural DIY haircolour that works - there are a few around, but I have no idea if they are a good idea or not.
I am thinking this through because I have no intention of fading out, owing to the fact I am hipper than they know.
What do you think?
