what color shoes to buy

Posted By: sarmt on 2007-03-08
In Reply to: Deep Purple Dress - what color shoes to buy?

See what color other bridesmaids are wearing, all should be same.  Beige or cream color is a good choice.  Gold/silver better choice for evening & not at golf course.

Shoes! Love shoes. Thin soles work best.
Don't be mad, but foot size might have something to do with it. I'm a 7 1/2 shoe size, and I suspect a foot much bigger than that might be a bit wide to easily hit the right pedal every time. Remove the shoe and your foot is narrower and you can feel the controls and not hit the wrong one. Just a guess because I've heard guys have the worst time with the pedal.
I would keep same color. At least in same color family.

55 for cut only, 85 with color, and

Oh my!! I pay $55.00 for cut and color and
5 years to the same hairstylist. I can't imagine paying $60.00 for a haircut alone.

Hi, sorry about your hair. Try this first: Shampoo your hair with a fairly stripping shampoo (Prell is best, but who knows where you can buy it these days, so opt for that other green shampoo called Pert. Shampoo in and let it stay on for about five minutes and then rinse. Your hair should be much lighter. In a long-ago time before I did this I was a hairdresser and a colorist. Your best bet if that does not do the trick is find out who to go to in your area who does good corrective work. There is a professional product out now that really works and does not strip or damage hair. It can even remove black. You need a good colorist to apply this. Afterward you can have them reapply a color that works with your skin color. The best way to find someone is to look around wherever you go. When you see a really beautiful color that looks natural ask who their colorist is and try to get an appointment. One thing to add, I have had mine done recently (color removal) and it came out beautifully, but it was over $300.00. It was a small price to pay for me because I had colored my hair Sharon Osborne red and my natural color is blonde. It looked good on Sharon, but on me was a total disaster! Good luck and remember to stay away from "temporary" color products from over-the-counter, read all labels carefully, and stay away from metals in the list of ingredients. If you get it straightened out it is not too costly to go in and have your hair done by a colorist every 3-4 weeks as touch-ups are fairly cheap.
Just went and got a cut and color for $35.00
Haircuts alone are $18.00. I used to go to an upscale salon near where I worked and spent about $75 for cut and color. I find that I lik the job the new salon does for half the price.
$40, color and cut and IN MY HOME YET.....

However, if you get in your car and drive to any salon here in nicer S. Florida neighborhoods - you'll pay through the teeth.  


Of course I tip her above the $40 she charges me for the cut and color....*S*



hair color sm
Had beautiful brown hair with natural red highlights, talked into blond highlighting, now go every 3 mos for cut and color but prices are being ridiculously increased to over $110 for this service, $45 for the cut and $65 for partial - more for full highlight. I am scared to do this alone, as I don't want to look like a "skunk" and the highlighting makes me feel better, as I'm getting older. Another subject - as you get older, people treat you like you're taking up space on the planet - rude. I don't intend to go gray. Is keeping the brown and putting in my onw highlights a fairy tale, is it that difficult? Can't imagine how I'll see in the mirror to do it alone!!! Can't afford it anymore. I think the stylist is planning to raise her prices and it will be over $150 for the whole head!

Be careful of the color of the tea...
my dad drank about 1/2 cup of diet coke and he had to go back the next day for the test....they said it had to be the coke causing it to be too dark inside...but that was for a colonoscopy.

Makes me feel like gagging every time I hear it
In NJ and $35 for a cut, $85 for color and over $100 for highlights, but
it can get higher depending on how many highlights. I stopped that for a while, but had to go back to just get a few on the top and sides as my color was so blah. I tip her 20% because she also washes my hair and gives a nice massage with my feet up. She also will get me coffee, water or magazines if I want them.
It's a color that's associated with sunshine.

DH has to wear red to work now, and I wear a lot also. For warm loads I usually add one of the oxygen products or else color-safe bleach, and for cold I add bleach for colors.

I can't use regular bleach on whites because even if I rinse the load twice, DH itches terribly.
Correction on hair color
Just read back, it should say, "I don't want to look like a skunk." The message somehow got changed and is unintelligible (donsunk)
Cut/color: $125. Tip: $25. Ability to call the best

Toning down hair color
Somewhere I read you should add baking soda to your shampoo once a month to control product buildup. I wanted to try it, but I was using my Nizoral shampoo, so I didn't want to mess with that. So instead I added it to my cream rinse. Rinsed as usual.

I no longer have the brassy stripe of hair in the back; it neutralized the process some fancy hairdresser had done (after I told him to be sure he didn't get any highlighter on that area because it would get too light). Baking soda fixed his goof!

How cool is that. No more highlights for me.
no, they don't ou ever see a *horse* change color?

Wannie:  You have said you married and divorced your DH x3....I can just imagine what a roller coaster that must have been.  So, how did YOUR *horse* change colors?  *curious* ...via therapy?  Intense therapy would have done it - that's the only way....


But then if I married the same dude x3 - I would never tell the world it wasn't working out (if it truly wasn't working out).....goes along with my belief of 3 strikes and yer out.......


perhaps not for you, but for most........perhaps you just *lucked* out...and that's GREAT if he truly turned the corner and remained turning the corner....it's just one never hears that any longer...


Best of luck!! 


On the subject of hair color... (sm)
Not to hijack your post, but does anyone know what will easily remove hair color from the skin? My hairstyle is very short and I always end up with color stains on my neck, ears and forehead. The remover they use in the salon doesn't do a good job. I've tried alcohol, shampoo, and even a Shout wipe! Any other suggestions?
question about hair color, please sm

I know there is a post below regarding hair color and highlights.  My question is, I colored and highlighted my hair and I don't like it.  Is there something out there you can put on your hair or wash through your hair to take this color out (without going to a hairdresser)?  I did a lighter color for my hair (my hair is naturally medium brown with a lot gray).  I got some sort of blonde color and that turned out ok, but then i highighted it and i have like bleach blonde looking highlights and I just don't think it looks natural.  I think i just want my natural brown/gray look.  I've been reading about the dangers of hair color and after reading, I think I just want to be natural. 


Thanks!  


 


Has anyone used this type of hair color?? sm

Henna is the name of it.  It's supposed to be all natural organic hair color.  Here's the web site.  Just wondered if anyone has ever tried it. 


http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/hair/hair.html


I went with a custom color I made....

If you click on 'customize' it brings up this color wheel sort of thing.  I just scrolled around until I found something that was both soothing on the ol' eyeballs and tickled my fancy.  I would up going with like a periwinkle blue/gray/violet combination and it so purdy...makes me smile when I type.



That is great! What color is your pekinegese?
I used to have 1 when I was younger, pure white when I got him. So many really good animals now for little of nothing. Congratulations on your new family member.
not my favorite color for houses
but I really have bigger problems to worry about
shoes
I wore silver shoes with a purple bridesmaid dress. We also had silver/grey shaws to go with. This was in November.
In your shoes
Your story sounds exactly like mine.  However, mine told me that if I did not lose weight he was going to leave me.  He had an affair and blamed it on the fact that I was overweight.  He said, "If you were not so fat, I wouldn't have gone there."  Whatever!
Don't let him win - just MHO - same shoes here (sm)
I'm sorry for you - I know how it feels. People like that are best ignored, but would not want my kids exposed. My stepdad is just like that.
Put yourself in her shoes SM
If you had gone through a whole pregnancy and hoped for the "perfect" baby and things weren't perfect?  The clubbed feet are correctible, yes, but seeing as she asked you not to say anything to anyone she is obviously having trouble coming to terms with the problem.  She is a new mom, there is a problem she obviously is troubled about, hormones all over the place.  I think backing WAY off is in order here.  Respect her wishes and let her call you when she is ready.  Being a new mother is overwhelming no matter how many times you've done it and she needs time.
at least ur not in my shoes
I would love for my husband to make advances towards me like that!!! I'm the one having to hug him and beg him. I agree with a below poster...don't push him away...enjoy what you've got. at least he wants to touch you.
Wish I was in your shoes.
I would do it in a heartbeat. Don't be afraid. Like another poster said, you can always move back. I now have a husband and kids and my family lives about 8 hours away. I miss my niece and nephew dearly but see them as often as I can. I stayed a month when each was born and then traveled every other weekend for several years. They are getting to be school age now so they know me well and I send things often. It has just become too expensive to travel that much.

I would just keep in mind with your BIL being in the military they may not be where they are longterm so that could pose a sticky situation if you get involved with someone special. Might want to talk to your sister. I know mine knows me better than anyone and always has great advice.
I have been in your shoes (sm)
I was in an abusive marriage and had children. I stayed way too long out of fear, I should have left years before I did. Just make sure you have tried everything to make your marriage work before leaving or you may have regrets. If it is something you feel you must do, you will be fine. It's not easy, but you'll make it. You'll have to work more and do without sometimes but you also should get child support to help.
My mom was in your shoes

Married Bob, our step-dad.  He came on to all three of her daughters, sometimes right in front of her.  She made excuses for him and downplayed what he did.  She was blinded by his money.  And of course he denied whatever, pretending it was all in friendliness.


He fooled around with my little sister, I had her move in with me and threatened to call the law.  Mom cried and begged - oh, what will happen to the rest of the family?  How will they live without Bob's money?  Oh, the poor man is threatening to kill himself vs go to jail.  Please, keep my mouth shut.  He's sorry and won't do it again.  Oh, and little sister was probably asking for it and to blame as well (yes, mom would rather blame her own child than precious Bob)!!!!


He went on to seduce a cousin, then her young daughter, and mom even caught him red handed molesting his own DOG!!!!!  She stayed with him though, for the sake of his money and supposedly her family, although by then, most of us would not set foot in their house.  My brother, who was growing up under his influence, also now has a thing for underage girls that are his relatives.  Nice, eh?


He spent them into the poor house, and by the time he died, all his money was gone.  My sisters and I refuse to even be buried in the same graveyard as that creep.  Mom dug him up and moved him to his own family plot about 10 years later, but the damage is done to her relationships with her daughters.


So if you want to end up like my mom, deny, shift the blame, and believe him.  Sacrifice your whole family and stand by your man.  You'll get what mom got - shame and blame and many years alone to play should've/could've/would've.


Been in your shoes
I am sorry to hear of your troubles. I know exactly how you feel, because my son was addicted to drugs with meth and binge drinking being his poisons of choice. Of course, he'd take anything--and I do mean anything--if he thought he could get a buzz from it. Every time I heard an ambulance wail in the distance, I'd wonder if today was going to be the day he overdoses to the point of being unsaveable. Every time somebody knocked at the door or if a police car would slow down in front of the house, I'd wonder if today was the day I was going to get notified that he finally died from his addictions. My heart bleeds for you...it really does. I know the heavy heart you have, and I know all about the soul-searching about what could I have done to prevent or maybe I even caused it.

Well, nothing you did caused it, and you definitely can't control its outcome since he is an adult, and he makes the decisions as to what he wants to do or not do with his life. I know that's hard to accept, because I went over and over in my mind with the "what ifs."

The best you can do right now is to not enable his habit. That means not giving money for rent (my son spent all his rent money on meth and booze and marijuana and other noxious chemicles), not bailing him out of jail, not giving money for groceries or even giving him groceries for that matter. That was hard for me. However, if he needed a meal, he was always free to come to the house >sober< and not under the influence of drugs and enjoy a meal. I think he came only once.

I lost track of him for 8 years or so, and then I learned he was living behind a dumpster in Boston during the coldest spell of the last century. I managed to get him out of that environment, and he did okay for a while. He had to go back to Massachusetts to serve a 60-day jail term, but he did that and cleaned up.

He was doing okay for a while and then he ran with "the crowd" and ended up back on meth and other drugs. He was again hooked, and this time it was a 4-year hiatus into that misery for him. I put him out of the house about 4 years ago, and the last time I saw him, I burst out crying because my baby was down to skin and bones, and he definitely looked like he was dying. So, for the past few years, I've been dreading the wail of sirens and knocks at the doors.

Well, about 3 days ago, I get a call out of the blue, and it was my son, wanting to come over. I was suspicious, of course. (In my mind, I thought about what else he was going to steal, etc.)

When I saw him for the first time in 2 years a few days ago,I truly did not recognize him. He had put on 65 pounds (not fat either), looks reasonably healthy, and he has "the sparkle" back in his eyes. Before, they were soul-less black orbs. Now, they shine. I found out that he has been drug-free and alcohol-free for almost 2 years now but that he was hesitant to make contact because Narcotics Anon. suggests only coming back and apologizing when able to make full restitution money-wise. Well, he didn't have the money, but he did apologize.

So, I really do know how you feel and all the pain, sorrow, and worrying you are going through and just how much greater those feelings will get for you. It will be a whole lot more intense as time goes on.

You need to get somebody to talk to for yourself. I tried the local Narcs Anon and a few of the other addiction groups as well as a couple of private counseling sessions.

Remember this: You didn't cause it, and you can't control it. Just don't enable him with money or gifts (he'll just trade or pawn whatever you give him for drugs...my son did.

If you need somebody to talk to about this, feel free to email me. I feel for you. I won't lie. It's going to get really, really rough...but no matter what he says/does, you didn't cause it.

If I were in your shoes - sm

First of all, take a deep breath.  I would definitely ask him about it.  I would also INSIST that he go to a marriage counselor with you.  It does not sound as if you did it when it first happened, but you need to go.  You have lots of unresolved feelings and rightfully so.  I would tell him your marriage hinges on what action he takes.  If he refuses, go alone.  It seems like he is still holding on in some way to the memories and keeping in contact with her.  Your marriage can recover from this with time, counseling, and 100% honesty from him.  He needs to become an open book to you.  It is not the end of the world, though it might seem like it now.  My heart goes out to you.  Best wishes. 


How much is too much for shoes?
My husband always tries to get me to buy name brand shoes from an overpriced shoe store.... which I have to put insoles in anyway for my plantar problem!!!!  Last time I bought shoes I went to Walmart and bought them for 20 and then put my insoles in them and it was fine.  I saw these shoes made for walking by Sketchers and went online to look at them and they turned out to be $175!!!  I was like WOAH!!!  I actually like Sketchers, but good god I cant believe how much some shoes cost..... SO THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR SHOES???  HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR YOUR KIDS SHOES???
Pay for shoes
I'm one who can wear shoes from Payless so I usually get shoes for $20, sometimes less if they're on sale. I have a friend who once said to me, I bought 2 pairs of shoes and spent $100 and she was excited about that. I laughted and told her I could have gotten at least 5 pairs or shoes, maybe more for that price. I try to get the kids shoes at Payless also, at least the youngest.
My mom painted hers a soft gold color
in the family room, and it looks great. If you have built-in cabinets in the same room, sometimes you'll see contrasting colors used for the inside back, and that can look interesting.
I pay $40.00 for a haircut, color and to get my eyebrows done. She charges $30.00, but I pay her $4

Question on home hair color

I color my gray with at-home hair color.  I have brown hair and used one that was too dark, waited a couple of weeks and used a light brown which showed on the box that it would lighten hair by three shades.  It did nothing.


Should I go with a dark blonde to lighten my hair?  I have no clue about this stuff. I just want my hair to be medium brown, not dark brown. 


I have the opposite problem - my color lightens up.
I was fine when I could get this sable color that Clairol had, but I'm not finding it anymore. I let some new guy highlight my hair last summer, and I finally got that ugliness covered with the latest color I put on. It started out burgundy and a bit too purple, but now it's lightened up a lot. I don't have a whole lot of gray, but enough to show, and my natural shade of brown is sort of green with a couple of wide lighter natural highlights. Even though I told the hair guy not to get any lightener on those, he did. You've never seen so many different colors on one head until I finally got that mess covered. I like my $9 color job better than his $100 job.

I have heard about Fantasia and the Color Purple.
Apparently Oprah has decided to give her a shot. I just hope she got some acting lessons. Anyone see her movie? Yikes :)
Anybody watching Color Splash with David

Bromstad?  He is the winner of that Design Star show on HGTV. 


I've seen his show several times.  I especially like his use of silk.  The sheen of silk and the intensity of the colors makes me want to sew my own curtains and pillows ... okay, not quite, but I wish I could get excited about doing all that work to get exactly the look I want, LOL. 


 


 


I am soooo decorating challenged and need help. I want to put some color

on my bedrom walls, I'm thinking a light sage color.  If I paint the walls the sage color, does the ceiling get painted the same or an off/white?  If I paint the ceiling the same color as the walls wont the room feel much smaller and "cave" like?  I have comforter with olive, sage, dark brown colors.  Average size room with windows on 2 walls so there will be light coming in.


Thanks for your ideas.


  


If the color is very light, paint ceiling with it, too.
Usually enough light reflects up so it appears the ceiling is white, anyway. Only with dark colors will it seem cave-like. I've done it with a celery color and it was bright and cheery.

If you have lots of trim and paint it a crisp white, then I'd paint the ceiling white too. That would look sharp.

Hair color and highlights advice

Does anyone know if you can put a golden blonde color or some kind of a toner over highlighted hair yourself?  I don't like the highlights, too beige-ash colored and also extremely light so it clashes with my natural color (light brown).  But I also do not want it to look dark or be a disastor if I put color on it. Has anyone done this themselves.  I really don't want to go back to this person.  Thanks!
