So I have to go ahead and say I would never in a million years have layered this blouse over this dress. And I probably spent a good ten minutes fussing in front of a mirror, tugging and turning and trying to figure out what I thought of the outfit. In the end - as my easy smile proclaims - I decided the outfit was indeed awesome. It also helped that upon showing it to a friend, she exclaimed "Oh, you're so 70's! Like a Brady Bunch girl!" which amused me to no end.
Louise suggested I put my hair up in a messy bun. Well, I tried! There were about a bizzilion bobby pins in there, but the whole thing was rather precarious. I know, I know... what kind of girl with hair as long as mine doesn't know how to make a bun, right? But in all seriousness, this is the first time ever that my hair stays up like this. So I was rather amazed. I didn't even expect to be able to make something stay long enough to take photos!
Of course not long after I was done taking photos, the bobby pins all started falling out and soon enough I had a floppy confused pony tail dangling around instead of a bun. Sigh. At least the bobby pins I used to hold the flower in place stayed where they belonged! I'm glad I had a bouquet of these, I was able to just snatch one up when Louise mentioned a flower in my hair.
I was looking at the photos after though, and felt like something was missing... Then I realized I hadn't worn any earrings! Which is rather peculiar for me since I feel absolutely naked without them. Ah well! I hope you all liked the outfit Lousie chose for me. Happy Wednesday everyone! Cheers!

Oh my goodness, I love it! You look so cool, Cel! YAY I am glad it worked out. I really love what you picked for me too... but I could NOT find my purple socks ANYWHERE. Sorry about that! They're still missing. I have a feeling they ran off with my floral halter top. You look so pretty!
The messy bun looks great!
Cute! When nothing in your wardrobe seems to go with nothing, it's so much fun to have someone else mix it up. I really like the alstromeria in your hair too.
Wow! She did a great job styling you and I think the outfit you chose for her was cute as well! I want to do the Paper Doll project now! Hopefully next time :)
