<p>well, while I had my hair foiled so it matched my roots ( which were a very light strawberry blond), after two months I couldn’t get used to it, so last week I had it henna’ed.</p>
<p>Now I couldn’t wear that blue- it is back to my neutral colors ( blue is ok if it has green in it)</p>
<p>I am a little tired of blue and white. Both colleges for Ds were blue and white, and college where both H and I work - blue and white. At least it makes any tailgating, fleece jacket outerwear easier to buy. I wear a blue fleece that is from older D’s college with a pin from younger D’s college over the logo when I attend sporting events at her school. </p>
<p>On another topic - what was I thinking! I just had an eye doctor appointment and ordered new frames without consulting with my dressing young pals. I don’t always wear my glasses, I am notorious for losing them, and have several other issues that I won’t go into. Anyway - my last frames were very high end - I would tell you the name if I could find them right now - but DH never liked them. I ended up getting frameless Silhouette glasses, not sure how I feel about them, but DH was with me and really liked them. We shall see. </p>
<p>Well, if I don’t like them I can always lose them with my other European eyewear.</p>
<p>wnp, I like frameless glasses! My favorite a pair of sunglasses is frameless.</p>
<p>Apparently, you can upload your photo (or take one using a web cam) to the Silhoette website and see how you would look in their frames. Nice!</p>
<p>D school colors are blue and white, but her class color is red. Fingers crossed, a year from now, I will be frantically looking for red dresses. :)</p>
<p>Love the sky blue color. Love the perimenopausal blur. Love the polka-dotted cardigan. Have a fun weekend.</p>
<p>I bought a dress this weekend. It fits well for my full bust and then skims my thinner hips and rear. I don’t love it but H and my Ds think it looks good. Here is a link. I got it in the pansy color. I think it will be another backup dress for me as it was very inexpensive. Still doesn’t feel like me and I fear it is a dress that everyone has. If I wear this I think it needs some killer shoes and accessories.

<p>Northminnesota,</p>
<p>I really like that dress. You could add quite a necklace, as well. And I like that there’s some sleeve and you won’t need a jacket. Sometimes the cheaper option really is the better one. And you could easily spend twice the cost of the dress on shoes!</p>
<p>You are going to laugh, but I think that purple dress could be worn with burnt orange satin shoes to great advantage, thereby including some wedding colors:). Alternatively, any shoes that are wild and embellished. sewhappy’s on to something.</p>
<p>NorthMinnesota, nice dress! Very sleek!</p>
<p>Oooo . . . love the idea of the burnt orange shoe with the purple dress. The back on the dress is really lovely, btw. Do you have nice shouders and upper back, Northminnesota? I don’t particularly but wish I did. This dress would really show that off.</p>
<p>Could never wear this myself without falling into the wedding cake but this has the floral vibe some of us were liking:</p>

<p>I love that dress. I have not seen the sleeved one but the other versions of that dress look great on a lot of different body types. A friend wore the long version a few years ago at her D’s wedding in a simmery steel grey/blue color.
How dressed up are the wedding guests going to be?
Is there a chance that one of the guests will show up in the sleeveless version of that dress?</p>
<p>Nice and simple choice, NMinn. Fits the “dressing young” vibe. I think it should work well with the orange/green - just like a bi-colored pansy. 
While I’m not a huge fan of the tiered design because at one point it seemed like every dress maker was producing such dresses, the sleeves and the back of this dress make it unique.</p>
<p>Sewhappy, I loooove the shoes, but the heels - :eek: too extreme even for this heel lover.</p>
<p>Love the dress, northminn! So pretty with the flutter sleeves. I am so tired of all these sleeveless dresses–not for me.</p>
<p>How about these shoes:</p>

<p>Beause of my bad knee/surgery I can’t wear shoes that have a heel over 3 to 3.5 inches or my knee will be screaminng at me throughtout the day and evening. I like the idea of a multicolor shoe! I also seem to be drawn to Badgley Mischka designs…must be the romantic wedding thoughts!</p>
<p>A multi-colored shoe would be great. I’d suggest a peep toe pump, or a sandal, in a satin or very nice leather. Wouldn’t do t-strap, can’t even say why:). The dress would stand up to a beaded shoe too.</p>
<p>Love the dress - and the color. I agree that a burnt orange or multicolor shoe would look great, but it should be delicate. And, if it ends up being a “back up dress,” you could wear it to the rehearsal dinner.</p>
<p>I am eagerly anticipating some terrific shoe suggestions for Northernminnesota’s purple dress. This is going to be fun!</p>

<p>Another question for all of you - you know how you see women in magazines and on TV wearing shoes that are basically the same color as their skin - the idea being that it makes their legs look longer and that they go with pretty much any outfit? Well what color is that if you go looking for shoes online? Is it taupe? I’d like to get some basic pumps, not a super high heel, that would go with lots of things. I’m so tired of black shoes. Any ideas?</p>

<p>Puzzled - They call it “nude” pumps, despite the fact that not all nude women are the same color:). They have become a classic. You just reminded me I want some.</p>
