    Is this a faux pas?

    Elegance is not proving how wealthy your are by showing one-time dresses. Elegance is choosing the right dress for you for this event, maybe already worn, but who can judge it if this dress is PERFECT for you ? Simplicity, style and smile ^^

    As a beginner ( and also a post-goth-who lived in black for years ) I look for classics : pencil skirt, black dress, grey cardi, white blouse... My very own rules are : 3 colors and/or two print max, simple but perfect cuts, all the fun in the accessories... Lucky me, my season (winter) includes...

    *Snoods*

    I followed this pattern from the "Yarn Lover's room", very simple (I am a beginner) http://www.knitting-crochet.com/crochet/persno.html There are other patterns on Ravelry but this one ovale shape seems more retro to me.

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    I really dislike "Dirty Dancing" except music. And I agree with the "Romeo and Juliet" thing : satiric, not romantic... Yes, I have no heart ^^

    How to... get the grown-up vintage look

    Sounds strange to me...She should re-open her book called "History of Fashion" and remember that everything goes and comes through decades...If everyone could pick what he/she like wearing from the beginning of clothing, world would be much funnier I guess...
