Jewelery and hair

 I'm no expert at jewelery and hair but here is what I do with what I do with mine......

To the left you actually see me wearing 2 necklaces and one bracelet about my neck.

Starting at the top:
the two strands of green "pearls" are one necklace. It is a revamped 4 string necklace from my grandmother.

The next one is the necklace and charm bracelet joined together. One charm so far.... I found the charms really annoying around my wrist.... I've lost 3 charms off this wearing it around my wrist so had enough and wanted to actually keep my mini sword so just joined it on my fave circle necklace. I might actually add more charms now.... ;) makes the necklace look more interesting. Saw a really nice star with a fake diamond in it.... hmmmm


This is my hair....
It actually takes ages to mess up your hair every day and add hair extension clips. It is well worth it though but it is very very fun looking and less... well.... Normal.


 The full look.... Ok I had changed my necklace's.
Plain long top from Temt $7
skirt - altered jeans and stamped with fabric paint

brown tights and brown shoes.


ok thats it. lol
Not sure if my new look will last.... Not sure if I can afford to keep it up.... Tim Burtons type fashion is alot of lace, stripes, frilly, goth look....... I have hardly any of that - and defiantly no black. lol

Hit and miss day

Hi everyone,
sorry its been a while. With earthquakes, family commitments and an infection its been hard to keep up with everything.

But here I am back again.....
Todays hit and miss day was more of an experiment.
I love the goth look, I also love Tim Burtons wifes look and Tim Burtons characters costumes in his movies.
I have NOTHING like that in my wardrobe. No black as my colour pallet has no black in it but charcoal and finding that colour in the shops at present is near impossible.

But anyway I have tried out doing stuff with hair and makeup. And layering jewelery.
I messed up my hair.
and clipped it up.
Put charcoal around my eyes in eyeliner and eyeshadow.

My jewelery:
I took a necklace and a linked charm type bracelet and put them together. This photo doesn't do it justice really it looked pretty cool. More charms on the charm bracelet and it would really pop. I'll show you a proper photo some other time.

But in this photo I don't look much different. NUTS. Oh well we do try.... Maybe its called "re-inventing" ones self or its called "a mid-life crisis" but I have had alot of compliments looking like this.

lol

Maybe its because I finally put on a skirt!

I know that the national standard uniform for mothers with kids under about 8yrs of age is:
Top and jeans with sneakers or some other practical shoes.
I really have to break out of that.
I will have to try to make it my mission to break out of that "mothers uniform."

see you later. Hope to post more often soon.
