I'm on a limited student budget with a bookish babysitter/retro rockabilly style, I'm looking to grow up a little and find some key mix and match pieces. Mature for my age, I'm the only 19 year old doula in training/future CNA/future RN that I know of... and for meeting with clients, and putting a self-confident and mature image out into the world, in spite of my age and height of 5'1", and my cute rosy-cheeked appearance, I would like to begin to take myself seriously and therefore be taken seriously by others. Can't afford vintage Dior by any means... but am interested in any suggestions anyone may have for a gal on a budget.

Being pale, with some freckles, and with dark brown hair, I made the mistake of dying my hair auburn through high school and college, and a few years after. Of course, that red reflected off of my face, making me look ruddy, which made me look positively horrible in colors that I should have been wearing with abandon (dark greens, reds, hot pinks, white, etc). I eventually realized that it just didn't suit me (or my budget) and changed my hair color to something that was, ahem, more natural. I found that I was rather suddenly shopping for a completely different person. My SO was not so thrilled however; he thought he married a redhead. :-\" I am in fact a winter, and even though I’m not old enough to have experienced ‘Color Me’ when it first came out, I am familiar with it, and I do think there’s something to it.

She sells current designers, and features my things along with the new. I don't have many pieces there at the moment because of the retail situation these days, so I'm sitting on quite a backlog, which is not fun but better than taking a total bath on the stuff. If things don't improve soon, though, I may just have sell it at a loss and move on :( I sell vintage through a friend who has a shop downtown.

The other day I saw a pair of pants that promised to make you look 5 pounds thinner. I ordered 6 of them, hoping I could look 30 pounds thinner, but it didn't work.
