Now I have a name for my style, thank you!

Really don't like a part, but I thought it might work and I guess it did for two days with enough product and the right tools and a deft wrist or something . . .

Your take ...Slightly Polished Casual is my mantra! <br />Your take on it is very youthful and dare I use the word "Hip?"<br />I do envy your curls....hair is such a minefield. I have struggled with mine over the years and my hairdresser has guided me through several phases....from long and highlighted to short and now allowing the grey to show through. It is interesting that I still focus on if I am having a good or bad hair day!

And I think it's the cuffs of your jeans that add just that right amount of polish, BTW, which is supported then by the unweaving and the cashmere.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-3758779216762687152014-10-30T05:27:10.258-07:002014-10-30T05:27:10.258-07:00Love this outfit!
