They may not be your best look or reflective of the style that you have refined over the years but in no way do you look badly in any of these pictures. These may be near misses but they are not train wrecks by any means! I appreciate your teaching us through your "failures" but you are being very hard on yourself here. You are and always have been lovely!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416199489057464855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-63051464830513306182014-12-12T20:06:05.456-05:002014-12-12T20:06:05.456-05:00Please continue these posts.

I'm just using my old photos to show you what simple changes you can make in your own style to look more polished. <br /><br />I wear the same makeup everyday. For evening I may go with a little more intense eye but still in the same colors. I use Merle Norman eye shadows in neutral colors.

I am going to try the hair and makeup tips in the morning. What about doing something for different body shapes or different colouring. You may not want to but it is just a thought you put so much effort into your posts and they are much appreciated. Thanks.

From what I've seen of Susan on her blog (don't know her personally), she seems quite confident and is striving to look and be the person she most wants to be and not beat herself up. Personally, I thought this post very helpful and encouraging as I work to find the person I'm most comfortable being.

I am curious about your eye makeup, particularly what brands/shades do you use. Is the last picture your typical makeup look (since you've found a perfect look) or do you change it up a lot? OMG, no foundation??? A testament to 'you are what you eat'!Singularstitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587215669219318707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-54392966413418712852014-12-10T10:59:51.317-05:002014-12-10T10:59:51.317-05:00I think you look younger now and very pretty.

In the photos I saw too many accessorizes, too many colors and the wrong shapes for my body. The hair and makeup was also something that came to me slowly. I applaud you for being open to change. Study the style of someone you admire a lot. That has helped me see that I need less, not more as I age.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173137023460640894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-24626164865884673362014-12-10T10:27:48.525-05:002014-12-10T10:27:48.525-05:00I third the motion.

But I believe you were loosing weight at that time. Wear what you have and buy the best you can AFFORD. As far as bangs, IMHO, I think it depends on the individual. I think they can get too far back and too thick which makes an older woman look rediculous. (Coming from a woman who's hair is too short right now. It is just hair, it will grow)Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211999587805757891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-49745362252479335802014-12-10T08:00:19.170-05:002014-12-10T08:00:19.170-05:00How did you make your overall style change?

I know I want to look more "put together" but I actually don't know how to make those subtle changes to make it happen. <br />You look so much more polished than everyone around you in pictures.
