1950s Style Gingham, Plus My Eyebrow Style

50s style: gingham & swing skirt
50s style: gingham & swing skirt
50s style: gingham & bow necktie
50s style: gingham & swing skirt
These particular eyebrows caused a bit of a kerfuffle when I posted a selfie on my Instagram feed a few days ago (which was the day these photos were taken)… to read the conversation and find out what on earth I’m going on about click here. It did give me a laugh that day…!

My eyebrows actually receive quite a lot of comments on the blog, Instagram, Twitter, etc. – usually complimentary and that’s really nice of people! However they have been getting a bit big for their, er, boots and would you believe it, they’ve only gone and opened up their own Twitter account* (I keep forgetting – just the one is tweeting. You can follow him/her on Twitter @notlambseyebrow – whatever next ?! πŸ˜‰

The initial Instagram conversation (starting “Dude, change your eyebrow style…”) absolutely cracks me up every time I read it – I’ve finally reached the point in this blogging lark where I can safely say that I can handle the unwanted comments: either kill ’em with kindness… or just mess with their minds. Currently I’m in favour of the latter – naughty, I know, but so much fun!

    Happy to vote for you again, all of you … your right-facing twin above (or are you the other one?) and both your brows. You all look like a spring flower … so pretty.

    BTW … I have a pair of multi-color pumps that remind me of your "yarn-wool-heels", 'cept these are a polished cotton print. Stop by please, if you have a chance, to see them.

    You look fabulous. Love the tights. Are they the squares of fishnets the right way up? And you have funny eyebrows. By that I mean that they have great senses of humour. Well one of them anyway.

    A little bit country and a little bit… 1940s. I love it.

  12. 8 April 2013 / 2:51 am

    Great look!!! I love the color of the skirt. Also I love your pictures and I was wondering what camera and lense you use?

    I've never followed someone's eyebrow before so, of course, I had to!!! Fun post. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com

  16. 7 April 2013 / 10:19 pm

    I love that entire outfit! And the whole eyebrow thing is such an interesting conversation–I think it's awesome that you have such a good attitude about it!

  17. 7 April 2013 / 4:41 pm

    Your eyebrows are perfect! That is all. πŸ˜‰

  18. 7 April 2013 / 2:46 pm

    Ahem. I LOVE your eyebrows. As a hairstylist and facialist, I see hordes of over-tweezed women come through our salon. It's a crime against humanity! But seriously – I love your full brow. They set off your features beautifully. I just discovered your blog via IFB, and I am loving it! I'm a non-traditional fashion blogger as well. I'm almost 39, and I love clothes. Among other things! (Where do all these young girls get their money for clothes, anyway??) That's just the jealousy talking, I'm sure. You have great style, and you're such a creative dresser. Cheers!

    I love this look. I cannot believe that someone seriously make a Twitter account for your eyebrow, sounds like someone is seriously jealous. Also it sounds like someone needs to get a life!

  20. 6 April 2013 / 10:27 pm

    LOL! As we say in the US, "haters gonna hate". Your detractors are just showing how lowbrow they are (pun irresistible and intended).
    Yours is the second blue gingham shirt I've seen today and I love it paired with the green skirt. It all screams Spring in the best possible sense!

    You look so gorgeous – I love the colours you have teamed together in this outfit. It all goes together so perfectly.
    Your eyebrows definitely deserve their time in the spotlight in their own right. Good for you for letting them take centre stage!

    I too was struck by how nice your straightened hair looks! But, I like it curled and in a bun…and with Green Eggs and Ham. :o)

    So happy you shared the eyebrow conversation for those of us not on Twitter! Funny thing, I've looked in the mirror in the morning and thought, "I need to groom my eyebrows more, like Not Dressed As Lamb." Of course now I'm just gonna picture them as a mustache! :o)

      Hmm I don't straighten it very often, but it's nice for a change. Thank you, lovely Daniella! xoxo

    Haha! Playing with their minds is so fun! LOL. I still can't believe someone said that to you. Your comeback's are great. You look so pretty in these photos. Beautiful hair and carefree. Love it! Hope you have a great weekend! <3

    Although one of your simplest looks it's still put together with this great talent of yours for details.I love the bow(genious detail)aaand of course your brows!

  32. 5 April 2013 / 2:49 pm

    Cute outfit, those shoes are adorable! I don't like to wear high heels (I'm just not comfortable in them) but I love how they look on other people!
    Have a great Friday (yay!)

    The fit and colour of this skirt are amazing, perfect for you!

    Ohh and not to forget the styling of your eyebrows πŸ˜‰ Maybe you should let us all know where we can buy them?? *g*

      I've been thinking about opening up an Etsy shop to sell eyebrow styles, Annette.

      Oh, I MUST stop it, right now!!!!!!!!!!

      ;))

  34. 5 April 2013 / 1:58 pm

    I love this. I actually posted a blue and green look with full skirt myself 2 days ago. It's such a great colour combo.

  35. 5 April 2013 / 1:52 pm

    I can't look at myself in the mirror without considering how to 'rearrange' my brows – my husband thinks I have finally lost it! #stilllaughing

  36. 5 April 2013 / 1:35 pm

    lolzzzz!
    Becky πŸ™‚
    P.S. Your eyebrows are clearly amazing.

  37. 5 April 2013 / 1:34 pm

    Love this color combo. It's matchy without being TOO matchy-matchy. LOVE IT.

  38. 5 April 2013 / 1:33 pm

    this has to be my favorite look i've ever seen on you! so pretty!!!
