With Gold Teeth

Our ever-thoughtful and kind Alaskagirl sent me a gold "shark tooth" necklace just like hers. It arrived, and what could I do but wear it immediately? 

I wanted to run with the gold theme, so I paired the necklace with my citron blouse and gold belt. The silver shoes seemed like the obvious choice at the time to keep with the metallic theme. However, if I could go back in time, I might opt to leave off the belt and go untucked... I feel like this outfit is kind of widening now that I see the photos. 

Pic 3 is an outfit from earlier in the week, which I really liked at the time - it drew some compliments IRL, but I don't like how it photographs at all. I think it might be that I'm craving more structure on bottom? 

Of course it could also be that I'm officially at The Awkward Stage of Hair Regrowth, and I genuinely wince every time I see myself in pictures. Sigh... o_0

Anyway, the GOOD part of the day was definitely the necklace. It is heavier than I imagined and feels nice and substantial around the neck. The shade of gold is really pretty, and the length is adjustable, allowing it to work with many necklines. FAB. I am sure it will become a workhorse for work and beyone. Thanks again, Una! XOXO!

    Love both outfits! The one isn't widening at all to my eye.

    Una, you are amazing!

    Oh, I am at the same stage of hair growth, I hear you on that one.  YLF in citron and the necklace is awesome!

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    So sharp of Una. (I couldn't say sweet, could I?) 

    And you look terrific. I love the long sideswept bangs. But I feel your pain about growing in a short style. There is that stage where it feels unbearable for a few months. But it will pass.

    If it makes you feel any better, from looking at you I would never guess that you are growing out your hair. But sometimes it's about how it feels, isn't it?

    Thanks for showing metal mixing, I'm trying to get into that!

    Well of course i love this. The necklace is a good mix of edgy elegant, and feels much pricier than it is. Enjoy - you deserve happiness!

    Love both iterations. Citron suits you so well and what a fab necklace!

    Oh, I wish I could see the necklace; it sounds perfect. That first outfit is so quintessentially you and expertly balanced and strong. The second looks like a departure and not a bad thing in itself; to me it's not the bottom at all; it's the busy, tailored jacket that's throwing it off and something solid like a leather moto would be screaming your look....but if you're wanting to experiment, it's interesting and still a great outfit. 

    I love those wedges. Please tell me what they are? (ETA: they are Lucky Brand, right? You just posted them. I think I may be having a showdown between these and the other Luckies I just bought. Off to find out more...)

    How sweet of Una to send you that! I must say its very cool, I love it on you.

    Your outfits look great. #2 is fantastic. And I think your hair looks great too.

    You look great! The citron colour is just too fab on you Rae. I like the first outfit as is but I agree it would look good with the blouse untucked also. But I don't think it looks widening at all. The striped jacket looks good too.

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Both outfits look terrific - even your hair!

  • Thistle replied 10 years ago

    Both outfits are fab! Not widening at all. Your hair looks great, even in its grow out. I wouldn't have known it was in a bad stage had you not mentioned it. :)

  • Janet replied 10 years ago

    Both outfits are fantastic. I see nothing wrong with 3, I just think sometimes skirts with that kind of fabrication don't translate as well in photos as they do IRL. You look so great in yellow.

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    Nancy, they are the Lucky Brand Moran!

  • kkards replied 10 years ago

    i like both outfits. the yellow top is great.

  • replied 10 years ago

    Love both outfits and Una is the best-est...
    ( I actually think #2 is very summery, kinda love it)

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    OMG I love the blurry action shot!  So fab!

    Both outfits are stellar!  I think your eyes are playing tricks on you because I think the second outfit is awesome.

    And yay for the YLF Sisterhood!!  :)

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    You are really on a roll with your outfits and style lately Rae - both of these outfits look fantastic. I do think that some outfits look significantly better IRL than how they photograph - although your second outfit looks outstanding!

    LOVE the necklace - way to go Una!
