RETURN of the MULLET? //fashion, beauty, hairstyles,

 THE 1980s was the time of discos, pop stars, Bowie, and the  mullet. The one hairstyle fad that is now it seems back on the scene. Some might like it , others not.  I for one am in the latter. Its probably the worst hair cut like something I would have done to some doll that I would try to cut its hair, only to create a disaster and tears.  I have alway had a fear of anyone cutting my hair, perhaps it started as a kid when dad would sit me down and start to trim my bangs for school pictures. Okay it wasn't so bad but sometimes the cut was to short. I recall one hairdresser chopping my hair off to a pixie cut , the Twiggy look. As a young girl it didn't matter much but as a teenager it was a disaster. That is when i got into wearing a sun hat for the summer, till the hair grew out.   Needless to say I still have a fear of sissors and salons. 

History repeats itself


THE MULLET  

Todays version of a mullet  worn by Miley Cyrus,  her dad Billy Ray ( country singer)was one to wear a mullet too




Rock stars like Bowie or Rod stewart




Even a famous movie star was one to don a mullet



 

What is your favourite style of haircuts?  Bobs, shag, long or short? 
I prefer some length , medium length , shoulder length is nice.  But really much depends on your hair, your face shape and texture. 

Meanwhile the lockdown has me thinking I really have to get my hair cut. Its starting to be way ,way to long and hard to wash. So a trip to a salon is soon in the cards.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

 Doing Denim  I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable.  For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short.  I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days.  Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it.  Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets.  There are so many ways to style a denim dress.  A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses  I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck. 

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

 Favorite things  I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023.  Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea  of shopping my closet or using what I have .  Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes  sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly.  The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again.  Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring.  The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece.   The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it  was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents.  It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it.  ...
