How vain are you?

Nancy, you look pretty cool, with and without hair. But, seriously now, how old are you? You look like a kid, but you also have a kid who looks all "growed up." Confused over here.

Nancy, you, and your daughter, are so pretty! I've learned on this board that people can still look great without hair!!

But, girls, seriously, you are giving me shoe and purse fever. A little voice in my head keeps repeating: "gotta have some new ones!"

Just love those shoes, but never could my poor feet endure a walk in them.

Love this thread! I guess I must be vain too, since I never leave the house without full makeup and my hair being done. There were only a few days during chemo that I was too sick to put on at least a little makeup. I figure if I do my hair and makeup in the morning, then I am ready for anything. I always like to look put together and stylish but sometimes it is only from the ankles up due to a few foot problems. I wish I could wear awesome heels, but sadly those days are over.

My DH makes fun of me because I even have to have my pj tops and bottoms match or coordinate, no clashing colors or prints! Not sure if that is because I am vain or OCD though!

Bren, welcome to the "vain" thread! You look fabulous also! I'm loving hearing how others have to match their p.j.s! I really thought I must have an extreme case of O.C.D. all these years. But, I may be worse than most, because my headbands, which I use to pull back my hair before cleansing my face, also have to match everything!

Sorry - I just drooled on your blue suede shoes....so jealous of anyone who can wear such gorgeous shoes...

but I'd have no place to wear them, I'm in the woods, literally, of rural MA, and my idea of a "busy" day is going to art class ;-)

JOY JOY JOY but I do love patterns, Anohki scarves, and the semiprecious stone jewelry I make..

clothes? jersey pants, turtle necks in winter, t shirts & Flax linen Floods in summer. Dat's it folks. Add Anoki shawl. done.

Luvmy, you are close. The dress I made was a weird blue color. The night I did the MRI that led to my DX, we went straight to a stupid awards/benefit dinner, something we very rarely do. We have gone each of the two yeArs since, to mark the date. athe blue dress was made for the first anniversary. I'll post what i wore for the second (only because I wore the bordeaux version of the blue shoes) but tomorrow, because it is late and I am on my iPad right now.

We just came back from dinner. it was the T-day dinner of the Republicans Abroad (long story, don't ask,or do,your choice ). The nice thing was that I was seated next to the guy who was the greek consul in NY 20 years ago. I had met him back then, and he is a very nice man, so I actually had a great time. You can't beat a gentleman for a dinner companion.

Selena, Nancy, Yorkie, and Momine, you all look great! Selena, your hair looks exactly like mine... down to the color and length. Is yours super soft? Mine is. I'm not really vain. I grew up in CT and had I stayed there perhaps I'd be more so. I went from there to Colorado for 18 years (think Boulder CO). I don't wear heels or dresses... I dress up for weddings and I rarely go to those. I wear shorts most of the year with flip flops, running shoes, or my chucks. As soon as I shaved my head I began wearing hats. I don't own the baldness. Even though I'm not bald anymore (I have a 1/4" of hair) I still wear hats.

Hi all

I have migrated over from the headache-inducing other thread to this thread. Before I go off on a tangent I want to say Alegria shoes- for those who can't wear Dansko ( I can't they feel awful) this company makes really fun shoes, boots, rain booties you name it. Amazon has a fair selection to check out.

Second shoe tip Aerosole Benefit Pump- I have multiple pairs of these (blush) and they are my go to for work meetings- they are cute with a peep toe and bows but they are soooo comfortable- you can wear them and walk in them and they make your calves look stunning.

I am vain some days and disturbingly complacent others. When I was going to work during rads (just finished Wednesday) I made sure hair was done, make-up on, cute outfit check. People would say "you look so good" Kind of made me laugh if they were at the house in the morning when I got up or on saturday in my oversized "follow your heart" t-shirt an yoga pants. Now my concern is my lumpectomy- that breast is noticeably smaller and the other one is not that big anyway- I never realized that just about everything I own is somewhat form-fitting on top hmmmm

love this thread-

Blessings-

don't know if you are a Beyond the Rack gal but they are having NMDJ on sale this weekend only some cute styles and even cords. I have to try them on at nordstrom because I don't know what size I am.

I noticed a lot of you are coloring you hair- I am reading everything scary about chemicals of concern so can I pleaaase hear about any concerns you did/do have or what products you are using. My hair is uber-short always has been but the grey is overtaking the brown. I found some cool shampoo from austrailia that is a color in shampoo- cost the earth to ship it to the US but I don't know.

thanks
