Elven Reincarnation

[elvenresistance]

The past month or so has seen some odd changes occurring. I'm not sure that the old NoVA crowd would know what to make of it, either. I guess it started around the end of October, as I got some "customer-facing" clothing and decided that I needed to start looking the part of the subject-matter-expert/consultant role that I'd be playing. Thus, for a

ye gods and goddddesses! I want to see pictures.

You struck a chord with me, because I hid/still hie in my clothes at lot, but my colour sense has changed - in the last few months, I've been steering away rom all black, which is highly odd for me.

Thanks for thinking in writing about this stuff and let us know how things go...

I've been going for a lot more color, too. A lot of browns and some reds. I don't know if that's because those colors are "in" and I'm just finding them more than any other, but I don't think that's it. They have always been colors that I thought I looked better in (if it wasn't black).

I don't know how familiar you are with the Final Fantasy series, but I have an outfit that The Usual Suspects calls my Red Mage outfit. It consists of this shirt in red, a black knitted skirt, and black shoes. If you aren't real familar, here's what they are referring to: Red Mage in Artifact Armor. Hee!

Mazel Tov!

I remember the two of us laughing at how your hair dye dissolved instantly in the Erie County Public Water. Little did I realize at the time how it helped "wreck" your sense of style. I didn't know what you looked like in high school, so I had nothing to gauge the change by. You just always looked like you.

I'm glad that you're considering change. That sort of thing has worked well for me. I still can't tell why anyone thinks I look any good in a shirt and tie... but they all like to complement me. Even my own brother! Yikes.

You should definitely throw some pictures out there. In the only pictures I've seen of you since college... you look *exactly* like you did back then. I was really surprised that nothing seemed to change at all. It was... surreal. :)

Have fun playing dress-up. That's how I look at it - like I'm a kid pretending to be grown-up by wearing grown-up clothes. :)

hahahaha. Yeah, that would be about it. Pretending to be a grown-up

I always thought that Jeanne told you not go out with Jim because she wanted him to herself. I think. Whatever, we're at the "I can look back at all that and laugh" stage of things.

Changing wardrobes instead of moving house? It's certainly a lot cheaper that way. A lot of girls I've met are content to just get a new hair style when they need a change. Now that I think about it, I did that once, too. :-D

One of my guilty pleasures in recent years has been to watch "What Not To Wear" (the US version) now and again. I don't always agree with the preachings of the experts, but it's certainly a hoot to watch. As a side note, I always felt that the american version should have been called "What To Not Wear", since we silly yanks tend to split our infinitives more often than not. :)
