I so cannot get away from this message lately. God has been impressing it on my heart to look like a successful professional even if I am tempted to say I'm "just a stay-at-home mommy writer." It's been so fun to watch Him bring this message time and again. And I, too, have a friend who is an image consultant and she has graciously taught me "what not to wear." One of these days I might actually be able to dress myself. LOL! Thanks, Meredith. I so cannot get away from this message lately.

Thank you so much, but it does get kind of boring after a while. Last time I cut it off to the shoulders for locks of love, and I'm almost ready to do it again. It's for a great cause and my hair grows really fast! I'll have to do some before and after pictures when I do it! Oh, gee can you see me blush!

Seriously, everyone, this girl has the most amazingly gorgeous hair I think I've ever seen. You don't mess with that sort of perfection!

I remember my favorite colors to where were brown and beige. Now I love bright colors, reds and yellows, and have found my own style I think looks good on me. Though I'm still shoe challenged. I don't know how to match shoes to outfits! BTW, saw your before and after photos and it's amazing what a change of hair can do for a person's image. I've pretty much had the same hair all my life, but being that I'll probably never blow out my curls, I don't have much option. Maybe one day when I get the nerve I'll cut it real short, maybe not!

I hear you, Sally! Hey, you should contact Christine anyway. She charges a lot less than I charge for editing. It's quite reasonable really. And lots of fun. :) LOL! I hear you, Sally!

I grew up wearing hand-me-downs that had already been through 3 girls. Talk about out of style by the time they got to me! I'd love to try Christine's services. Just sounds so fun! Maybe someday when that ginormous contract shows up. :) Meredith, our upbringing sounds similar in the fashion category. I grew up wearing hand-me-downs that had already been through 3 girls.
