Though it would drive me crazy to not wear lipstick.

That dress is so pretty, and it looks so great on you. If I could figure out how to sew a basic 1940's dress like this, I'd make at least 8! :)<br /><br />IvyIvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038458869190071381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-70925868148656951212013-01-26T14:19:50.528-05:002013-01-26T14:19:50.528-05:00I think you look very much like a gal in the 1940&...I think you look very much like a gal in the 1940's on her way to work.

I don't sell vintage clothing, but if I did, I suspect I'd implement the same kind of rule (lest my house turn into a very stylish vintage version of hoarders ;D). <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-50142599423125336182013-01-16T20:09:24.257-05:002013-01-16T20:09:24.257-05:00Very cute dress!

The blonde was really hard to keep up with those dark roots growing in so I decided to go darker to make life easier on myself. I imagine it's the same for you, going darker as a natural blonde. As for toning down, it's still pretty dressed up but I don't wear hats, gloves, usually don't wear fancy shoes, lipstick or any accessories really. Some of the people that we support can get "grabby" and I'd be heartbroken if any of my jewelry got broken in an incident :( Since I have toddlers, I never wear pierced earrings unless it's date night so sometimes I wear my clip-ons at work but that's it! :PBrittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-27534165013743964112013-01-16T13:03:19.735-05:002013-01-16T13:03:19.735-05:00You say you are turning down your vintage style bu...You say you are turning down your vintage style but it doesn't show on this outfit... I never wear vintage to go to work because I must wear security shoes, most of the time I outside and need warm and waterproof boyish clothes... I was today measuring a field today with 10'' of snow!!!<br />I love your new hair color, is it easy to keep this brown color with a blond underneath? I tried a redish brown a few years ago and that faded really fast... after 2 weeks it was a strange color, so I chose to come back to blond... Now I don't know what to do, keep my blond or try a darker color...<br />And you are right, not easy to take pictures in winter, rain and bad weather, short days...Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936447176191219940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-84302298815373999352013-01-16T12:10:21.403-05:002013-01-16T12:10:21.403-05:00Hehe Omg T is funny!

LOVE that jacket!<br /><br />I tone down my look a bit at work too, where it's a business casual environment but the seriously casual side of business casual. I don't show my tattoos so in the summer so I wear thin modern cotton cardigans with vintage blouses and Heyday trousers, and I also never wear red lipstick. And I'm still more dressed up than most. I carry a purse but also have to wear my oh-so-lovely work backpack with my laptop in it. Not exactly stylish! I do wear fun shoes sometimes though, and love when some of the women in the office in their 50s/60s compliment me on them. lolTashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-2728188660184714702013-01-16T10:28:21.124-05:002013-01-16T10:28:21.124-05:00Yes, it was insanity!!
