I was going to comment that it looks like we have the same hair texture...and coloring? Do you dye/color your hair? I used to...but then I developed a very severe allergic reaction. As it turns out though, my natural color is a dark reddish brown. It's very un-Asian (in my mom's opinion). LMAO
i haven't dyed my hair for at least 7 or 8 years... it's bc i straight perm it - dying it also is just too many chemicals for me. so i opt to perm/straighten. my hair is actually very dark naturally - the lightness that you see is probably the unhealthy ends from being fried by the straight perms. ask azn - my hair is generally pretty dark actually.

dark reddish brown sounds really pretty!! i wish i could have naturally pretty color (not that i dislike black or anything)

I don't think I can colorblock like the young gurus in youtube. I'm planning to pair them with black or white or gray.

Me too... I only wear the PINK hoodies now. I can't imagine going out of the house with PINK across my bum. Nothing wrong with it, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable.

Coverlaugh And here I was, a couple years ago dye-ing my hair so it could be black!

Speaking of HS people, I bought some shorts at Hollister today since they were 50% off. The whole time I was just thinking how I was so *not* their target demographic!

I have to agree with the other ladies here no age limit if you can rock em' do it. nod How long are they on you? I wanted these in the sweet raspberry but they didn't have them in short sizes so I opted for the denim. Are they really long?

Dead. laugh out loud Most older ladies I see wear soft cotton pants in a variety of colors.

measure it! or post a pic, or both! we want to know! : nod:
hmmm about that dress, that's a tough one bc you have girls that are so much larger than mine. i think i'm able to wear the XS bc i don't have such a large chest - that's where it's tightest i think. it's very stretchy so the S may work for you. but i'm not sure bc of your assets.

and yeah! people are surprised it can stay like that overnight. i did curl it late last night... if i can get my hair to curl, it usually stays curled (except with hot rollers - that doesn't last)

:lol : yesterday i saw a girl who looked about 45-50 wearing bright turquoise jeggings...
I'll try to post a pic the next time I fix my hair. Right now, you wouldn't want to see it. It's in a ponytail to feel cooler.

I'll try small. I really hope it will fit. It's so discouraging trying to find dresses that fit all over.

My hair is the opposite. It doesn't hold as well with a curling iron. It doesn't hold a pretty curl overnight with any method though.

It's nice to see you call a 45 yr. old. a girl. Stick Out Tongue I'm getting there quickly. EEK! I don't wear jeggings though. That's another one of those been there done that styles I just don't feel like repeating. It's not as much fun the 2nd time around.

I love dark black hair. My mom had jet black hair. It's so pretty, when it starts to gray. My hair will just look dirty. Blond hair is so ugly, when it grays.

I don't have any PINK clothes, except for a free tee. I would wear the hoodies & tees, but they don't have Carolina clothes & none of the baseball stuff is cute this year. Boo VS.

I wish it weren't so humid here today. I'm feeling sluggish! Debating what to wear tonight...I wish I had a nice, full-length mirror so I could consult you girls. laugh out loud

I'm using this Boscia Black Mask [sephora.com] right now. I hope it works better than my Biore strips. Pray

GH, you're still young! I truly believe that a lot of how "old" anybody comes off is in their attitude.

I'm in my mid 20s and I absolutely can not wear jeggings. They make me look like I have sausage legs, even though I don't. I just don't have super slim calves or thighs.

You have beautiful hair ... I am jealous. I love the wavy curls. I get my curls to look the way they do in this video [thesmallthingsblog.com] Kurips posted since I've been practicing.

I couldn't get the hang of it using the glove. I finally figured out how to do it without the glove and without burning myself. I was even able to do my DD's hair last night without burning her or myself. That is a an accomplishment. I always burn myself. LMAO
Cute video!

Yah, I agree about the glove. My hand feels constrained and I end up using the gloved hand to hold the base of the wand and my non glove to wrap my hair instead Crazy

Just quoting you to agree with nerdicus - her hair is regular Asian hair dark, but that's some pretty cool hair color you have. Whenever I get my hair cut, I'm always getting comments about how my hair is all lighter than my family's shake head When people look closely, it's actually very dark brown with different brown variations, but it just looks like regular Asian dark hair nod

For you, my dear, picture. Took me forever to figure out to take it. I usually have double mirrors to look at my hair in the bathroom and tried doing it that way, turned out terrible! shake head I kind like how my hair looks now though with the looser waves, less like I'm going out and looks more relaxed. nod
