I need a makeover and want your input, please...

I'm trying to be truer to who I am, and have been viewing fashion and style in a different light lately.  Gone are the days of $3000 purses for me -- I just dont have the desire, and being on top of the latest trends is just not important to me anymore.

First, I am thinking of dreading my hair - to be honest, it will just be a lot easier to take care of.  My hair kind of naturally sections for dreds anyway, so why not just go with it (it's currently longer and to my elbows):

So with the hair change, I need a wardrobe change.  I'm going to sell all my designer stuff and want to go with hemp since it's a sustainable product and environmentally friendly.

Like maybe some dresses like this -- comfortable and it doesnt matter how fat I get:



Does anyone have any other clothing suggestions for me?  Price is not an issue...

TIA!

 Now why would you think that? Don't you think that dress is cute?

OK fine - since it appears that everyone thinks I've lost it, yes, APRIL FOOLS!

HAHA! As soon as I read it I was like "I know D .... and I know she's gotta be kidding."

I was going to respond back "I could picture the dreads, but the dress is something my grandma wore around the house in the 90s."

:)

Love it.

LOL! But it's got me thinking that maybe you're onto something....

I don't think I could pull off the dreads, so maybe I'll just shave my head.

Maybe with a belt?

And because an outfit like this just cries out for the proper shoes...

If my boots are vegan, does that mean I can eat a hamburger guilt free? And if I the mumu is pure polyester, do you think I could get fries with that?  hungry.gif

Now wait, didn't you at one point, D, actually seriously contemplate dreads? Or at least say something to the effect that you liked them? Or am I totally just dreaming that up?

This thread is LOL.

To reduce the frumpiness, you could always belt that hot dress. With a flowy scarf and a big bow.

yes, i did contemplate them at one time, hence the set up for making the hoax more believable.  thought the dress would be an unquestionable dead giveaway -- sorry if I offended anyone who might like it!

Can the bow be on my butt?  Because I would love to make it look as much like a bridesmaid dress as possible.

The part about not having the desire for fashion completely gave you away! LOL! That is funny!
