I am so excited at the start of seeing the photos of "shopping" treasures being found recently on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in preparation for Viva Las Vegas. This will be my first year attending!! I have collected a heap of vintage patterns and plan on sewing all my new clothes. I am such an awkward shape, I rarely find kitschy-cool vintage that fits my "too big busted, short waisted, long legged" body!
Also, like so many, I plan on really committing to kicking the rest of my baby weight, more like the baby "jiggle" before the main event. I am very happy with the weight drop I've attained (40 pounds!), but, because Scarlett was SO high, my abdomen is still protruding, making so many of my skirts not being able to zip.
Last but not least, I think I'm kicking the black hair. I've had it for 2 years now, and I'm getting a little tired of it. I love the bright red that everyone is rocking these days, but I don't know how that would work with my clothing. It's such a hard shade to do (and I'm a hairdresser). I want more Femme Fatale, less Ronald McDonald.
I really love the shade of the model on the left

Now, on to the clothing
We'll be there! You are going to love Viva! Have fun sewing and planning your outfits ;-)
ReplyDeleteMake sure to say "Hi"! I want to make sure all my readers get a picture in my Viva post!
DeleteYour outfits look great! I wish I were going this year but I decided to celebrate with my mom instead. It's here 50th birthday and we're taking her to Vegas. She loves Vegas.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you guys have a great time. There is always next year!
DeleteThe red in that picture you shared is delightful!! I think darker is easier to work with - and less Ronald McDonald, yes. Good luck on making your outfits from scratch - can't wait to see the results!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh exciting! You are gonna love it! :) I hope I get to meet you at Viva...or even in LA, as I will be there for the week beforehand! :) Bravo on the 40lb weight loss too!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'll be there! It's my first time too. I wish I could sew my outfits. It would make my life much easier. Hope meet you there!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited you are going to VLV 16! I hope we run into on another while there. I'll be sewing a few dresses myself, though because of budget reasons.

I'm not a big fan of red hair because they are so hard to keep!!! I had red head a few years ago but I needed to dye them very often because it faded so fast... so I decided to go back to blond, I'm now thinking to light brown or venitian blond...
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I will be to VLV, it's our third time there! We are hoping to meet you there!
I cannot believe how every VLV fashionistas become like crazy buying crazy vintage clothes for unafordables prices... I will be in the US for 3 weeks with a small suitcase so I cannot bring with me all what I would like to... no hat, no full petticoat....
Congrats for your weight loss, must not be easy!
I absolutely love the way you've taken a simple black outfit and jazzed it up with fabulous bright jewellery, looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the weightloss and well done! I found it so hard to lost weight after my second baby but let those skirts be your incentive! xxx
We are doing viva this year again!!! I am so excited ;) counting down the days till then...
