Hair isn't *quite* where I'd like it, but I persevere. I love the length, and the ease, but want a bit more of the ferocity you mention. It could get "crazy-old lady-inappropriate hair" really fast, so I'm looking for a satisfying approach to deconstruction. <br />And yes, I love summer dresses ... better now than shorts for old legs but still cool!<br />Thank you for popping in, Gorgeous Creature!Jan Graham-McMillenhttp://www.fortsmithstylista.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-32170496697817151082014-06-10T16:09:44.175-05:002014-06-10T16:09:44.175-05:00I'm so slow and behind in my replies ... thank...I'm so slow and behind in my replies ... thank you, Olga, for your kind remarks and your patience.Jan Graham-McMillenhttp://www.fortsmithstylista.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-13089601949741668132014-06-10T16:09:05.152-05:002014-06-10T16:09:05.152-05:00Dresses Forever ...

Thank you for that!)<br /><br /><br />It's interesting that you ask about the asymmetrical approach to earrings, because I have just thought of it recently. In the past, I was strictly symmetrical kind of earring wearer I think. But I have just recently thought - why not try some creativity with earrings too? If I do try it, I will make sure to blog about it. :) <br /><br /><br />I totally understand about hot weather. I am not a fan, and heat just doesn't inspire me in terms of style. I am very much mild weather kind of girl. You know how it is here - nice and mild, almost never hot. I am yet to discover how to approach Summer this year. I want to dress in a stylish way, but also simple in Summer.<br /><br /><br />Have a restful day, Jan!Natalia Lialinahttp://inthewriterscloset.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-61865181119912598042014-06-02T15:01:05.947-05:002014-06-02T15:01:05.947-05:00Please please always be honest with me too.

Probably because they're not often worn here, and I didn't wear many last summer. Hope you found the dress you wanted!<br />Thank you, too, for the Twitter invitation! I don't even have an account. I can barely keep up on my blog responses, and a new one each week. I'm useless on Facebook, as I don't have that much to talk about daily. It would probably be good for my writing, as I love to go on and on ... can't imagine expressing my dubious opinions in only 140 characters!<br />Have a fabulous week, and thank you for stopping by!Jan Graham-McMillenhttp://www.fortsmithstylista.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-15953323087175846782014-06-02T11:21:27.375-05:002014-06-02T11:21:27.375-05:00Hello, Natalia!

Been a busy morning out fixing fence on our front pasture in the rain!<br />Summer here is perfect for simple dressing ... necklaces can be problematic, even earrings.<br />I'm just enjoying putting on a dress, these days. Not many women wear them here these days.<br />I've been meaning to ask you about your take on the "single earring" idea. You seem to be an earring girl, and although I have been in the past and have three holes in one ear and two in another, I've not bothered when I had long hair. Now they show! Do you often wear mismatched pairs, or big, artsy singles?<br />Thanks so much for stopping by with such kind remarks!Jan Graham-McMillenhttp://www.fortsmithstylista.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-203876152835475642014-06-02T11:07:21.143-05:002014-06-02T11:07:21.143-05:00Thanks, Jill ... for the extremely nice comments a...Thanks, Jill ... for the extremely nice comments and the clarification. I'll get a photo in later today or in the early evening. If you can believe it, I've been out fixing pasture fence in the freaking rain, and am just getting back to my usual Monday schedule. Urk.<br />I've decided that I'm just too uncool to wear a bob. It is a cut for cool girls and very cool women ... that's why it works on you so well! My adorable hair cutter was loathe to let me take it so short, but it's all good now. Sweet of you to say I have a pretty face ... I never hear that. I've been told my features are too coarse to wear a pixie, so reality is somewhere in the middle, I'm sure. What I'm glad about is that lots of women can successfully pull off a pixie, and it's much more versatile than I thought. I'm happy, and I'm pleased that my peers like it. That has much more meaning than the opinion of a 20-something junior editor in a style mag.<br />Off topic: I have some choice phrases that I'd like carved on my tombstone. One is "You're not from around here, are 'ye?" and another is "Wait. What?" <br />Have a groovy week, Jill. And thanks again for hosting How I Wear My ...!
