Every month a couple of magazines come through the letterbox and I have a flick through them, marvelling at the prices that people are prepared to pay for various items, and coveting some of them, in spite of their being of no relevance to my life whatsoever. The mags seem to rush me through the year; as soon as September arrives so does my October edition. When I've finished flicking through the pages my life in jeans continues undisturbed until the next month. But this time I noticed fringes, not on the clothes, although there are plenty, but on the models and people being interviewed. Their fringes are SHORT.
Very short.
So I've been to the hairdresser and had a bit of a chop. All I've got to do now is pencil in some eyebrows!
In last month's magazines I fell in love with everything that Armani had to offer. That man is a genius - I would/could/dream of wearing any/all of these clothes.
The same velvet trouser suit seen in both the magazines.
A fabulous coat.
And I could live all winter long in this outfit, cosy, colourful jacket, cropped black pants and those shoes with their colour link to the jacket. Mmm..
Do you have a favourite designer?
I know! These clothes are expensive but sometimes I wonder if I I would be a dedicated thrifter if money were no object. Gorgeous, sublime clothes. I love to wander the expensive clothes aisles in upscale stores to be inspired for my own upcycles. You got your hair chopped? We need to see it sometime. As for brows, apparently little short worm brows are supposed to make us look younger. Hm.
ReplyDelete'Little short worm brows' eh? Just HOW young exactly?
DeleteI'd also like to see your chop!
ReplyDeleteJust the fringe got chopped, Michelle. Some days I think it looks good, other days I feel I look as though I've just been let out of an institution!
DeleteI have to admit that I am a sucker for fashion magazines. I grew up in a very small town with hardly any shops so mags were my window into the big world. I've noticed those short bangs, too. But I'm keeping mine long mainly because they do hide my spindly eyebrows!!!! yes, please, show us your bob.
ReplyDeleteMy former hairdresser had all the glossiest magazines and it was part of the treat to sit with a drink and flick through them. Now that she's retired I pop to the next village where a couple of young girls have a shop. I console myself that I'm saving a lot of money!
DeleteI adore Dior. They have such a distinct cut and through the decades they are always sleek!
ReplyDeleteAhh, Dior, good choice! My absolute favourite period is the 'New Look'. I love everything about it, the neat little waists, the full skirts, just the most flattering length, the jackets, everything so flattering to the female figure.
DeleteOne of the nicest things about fall is the clothes.
ReplyDeleteI notice that my teenage granddaughters are wearing fringe -not on their head but on their clothes. It looks like the 70's are back.
How lovely to have teenage grand-daughters, they will be sure to keep you on trend!
