Your opinion please.....

Do the shoes match? lighter hair? darker hair? decisions... decisions... decisions

Asking your opinion while sharing snippets of my journey today celebrating that it is FRIDAY!!! YAY...

I woke up wayyyyyyy too early ... got knocked out by the Flexeril I had for my aches and pains following my bad fall last week due to hit and run by guy on bike and woke up with a yucky hangover feeling ... I hate taking certain meds for the same reason ... but but but ... IT IS FRIDAY ... YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY AND MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY .... YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY AND I AM NOT ON CALL YAYYYYYYYY YAYYYYYYYYYYY YAYYYYYYYYYY...

But back to  the purpose of my thread... yikes my wandering mind bare with me I am an old fart after all ....

Later tonight we are going out with our friends from our oldies group (DH and I belong to a club Oldies Keeping the Flame Going)... Our club is a group of old farts like myself and some older and others much younger who have joined in the fun ... we decided to keep the flame of love going in our marriages/relationships/partnerships and once or twice a month we dress to impress and go to a gala event ... whether at a charity or at the Schubert or the theater or a fundraiser followed by an awesome dinner/dance we all look forward to our dance/party/dinner meetings...

This is the dress and shoes that I want to wear ... I really want to wear those bad boys ...they are tall and light like a feather the color is the same as the fabric of the dress and the texture too ... but the beads and that bow seem to clash ... 

Your opinion please: do these shoes color-wise work with this dress?
 

Last night friends said it would be good to see pics of me in the dress I plan so far on wearing tonight unless I change my mind ... and you know me for the picture AW that I am ... so why not? I love taking a picture a day anyway .. it keeps the pounds and the inches away ... and I love rocking clothes ..I did it at my heaviest weight oh yeah I loved to rock my hair and plus sizes just as much or more than I do now...

So I got the dress on and now I have the hair thang kicking in LOL..  so I started wondering light hair/darker hair with highlights ... longer hair vs. medium length hair ...vs naturally short nope ... that is out.. because I am going swimming after work and I cannot afford the time it takes to dry straighten or mousse my natural short mane ....
Decisions decisions... in the life of an old fool... but I am enjoying every little moment of it ... after all I have today ... because I know tomorrow is not promised ... hey .. I had a very close call last Friday, remember??? hit and run in the crosswalk by a biker? jeez Louise that was a close call... 

Me in the dress and shoes ... with lighter hair...


With darker hair with light highlights...


closeup of darker do .. I think I am going with this...



... ooops it started getting late...no more farting around ... I grabbed a short bolero khaki jacket to throw over this and headed out the door... it is Friday YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ... looking forward to a long weekend....


I wore this dress way back at my lowest weight  in August of 2008 ... and rocking it for the same fit today... YIKES check my arms out ...that was prior to my modified brachioplasty...


I am maintaining for Life ... my life post WLS rocks ... it rocked before too except for the struggle with 5 co-morbidities and impaired mobility that I happily live without today ....With health and mobility I don't ever plan on going back ...that is my reality .,. my tool is as real as my husband's transplanted kidney ... to take care of for life!!!  

This is my empowerment collage today ... I am living life to the fullest and enjoying every minute of the day ... the good/the bad and the ugly all combined to make a stronger me....


I copied this off of a friend's FB page and I love it...


HAPPY FRIDAY TO EVERYONE!! IF YOU ARE A KICKASS WOMAN FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A HIGH FIVE BACK!!!

Thanks for allowing me to share snippets of my journey ... and for asking your opinion on my hair/shoe dilemma .... all done in fun and love...

Bellisemo

I definately think the shoes ROCK with the dress, maybe some looong dangly green earring to match?!?  On the hair, if you are definately going for the wig, I like the long straight black with bangs BUT, don't you have a short hair wig you could consider, something that rocks some serious curls in a cute head hugging style...

Any way you go, you are BEAUTIFUL girl, have great time...

 Gracias!!! hmmmmmmmm my long black piece is a thought ... my DH loves that look best too... thanks for your input...

I think the shoes are fab, though I personally couldn't walk in them. But I know you rock the heels, so you go. Hair, I'm gonna go with the dark, just because I always always like your dark-hair pictures better. I like how it suits you in any outfit.

You're gonna look fabulous.

PS: Ya know, I don't remember ever seeing any pictures of you with your naturally short hair. Do you wear it like that much?

Thanks for your input!!! first let me tell you I would DIE to have YOUR haircut ... I have lots of pics with my own short do ... I love it but it is a PITA and takes up much of my time ... now if I could rock my short do like yours that is just ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR HAIRCUT ... I would wear it all the time ...

I  love the diversity of my custom made (by moi) hair pieces .. plus IRL we have to move hair ... aside from my regular job my BFF and I have our hair braiding/weaving salon and beauty supply and we advertise by rocking our hair ... in every way we can think of LOL.... kind of selfish but it works ... 

I love your hair! 

Dark hair and the dress and shoes are great!

 Thank you for your input ...going with the darker hair... 

 I would wear shoes to match the green/top part of the dress, and then jewelry to match the bottom part...Just my thoughts....Am sure you will look beautiful regardless as you are such a beautiful and classy lady!!!!

Hope you are feeling better from the accident.

 Thank you Tammy ... your input is appreciated ... I did go and had a very nice time... Except for the huge scabs on my knee that are not ready to be picked off yet and discolorations that are fading I am fine...

 Love the shoes with the dress and the lighter hair.  I know I am late to the party but thats my vote.
