The dress looks a bit difference in color as I took it in artifical light without flash.





Forgive me not smiling, taking a self portrait is not my thing really.

1. You look like a million bucks MissH!

Good morning!
(Now how about a picture out of it :evilgrin: ) I kid,I kid.
I am heading off to the shop now. Happy Thursday! :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Make it a hundred bucks

and you come closer to the truth :rofl:

Have a great Thursday yourself :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[Sky Masterson]

3. I'll make it a hundred million.

You as well,my friend. Enjoy lunch. :hi: :hug: :loveya:

4. That dress looks FABULOUS

on you! And I simply adore the neckline.

But . . . you need to put a smile on your face . . . or did you shoot this early in the morning. :rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:


p.s. Is that your apron hanging by the door? I love to wear aprons when I'm cooking. ;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Thank you Callalily

I actually took it in the evening after a long day. But as said I am not good at taking pics of myself smiling. The smile always looks forced.

Yes, you see an apron hanging there. It is my kitchen there after all. :)

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

28. That's the kitchen? It looks like an exercise bicycle.

It looks very much like my stationary bicycle - more of a clothes rack than a piece of workout equipment :)

And you look great in that dress. The hemline could have been a few feet higher, but that's just my opinion.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Okay Okay

you can see the livingroom behind me and on the side is the kitchen. I am standing in the hallway :)

I will get the hemline changed. I agree, it is too long.

:hi:

6. Looks very nice, MissHc

:) :hug: :loveya: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Thank you Tuesday

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

8. Nice!

:-) Special event? I missed the previous post.

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Thanks redwitch

I'm going to a wedding in a month.

[redwitch]

13. Wonderful!

A pretty new dress. A reason to celebrate. Sounds like good times to me!

[cwydro]

9. Fantastic!

But you do seem to have some rule about not smiling in self portraits!!

:P

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Do you smile in pics

you take of yourself????

[cwydro]

12. Yes I do.

Check your email in a few

[Brewman_Jax]

14. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

Saw the thread about your friends' wedding next month. You'll be the 2nd best dressed! :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Awww thank you Brewman

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

How are things with you?

[Brewman_Jax]

18. Still good

getting back in training, I joined the new gym down the street from my office. Very nice, but a touch more per month than the old place, but it has locker rooms, showers, group fitness classes, and the equipment. The old place will re-open as a no-frills gym (bring your own towels and personal items)in October. It's cheaper, but like most things, you get what you pay for.

No new soccer team, yet. I'll try again after the holiday weekend (Labor Day). Also, the big science fiction/fantasy/gaming convention is this weekend and I'm going for a day for the 1st time! Looking forward to it.

Hope life is back to normal without Mr. Tinkles hanging around. :D

15. Hey good looking!

Your dress is wonderful and so are you! :hi: :thumbsup: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Hey good looking yourself!!

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

You are a sweetheart!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blogslut]

19. That dress is amazing!

It shows off your curves yet it's so elegant!

I suggest a nice half-updo for a hairstyle. Gather the front at the crown, exposing your ears, but let the rest of your hair tumble down your neck:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Thanks blogslut

the dress also hides the not-so-showable curves ;)

I am most likely will pull my hair up as in the pictures

[blogslut]

23. Leave some down on your neck

I promise, you won't regret it. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

24. OK

I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the suggestion

[Demoiselle]

20. Very elegant, Miss Honeychurch.

I love the draped half knot at the bodice. You look great!

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Thanks Demoiselle

:hi:

[david13]

25. It think it looks very good. Regal, and traditional, classic. dc

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Thanks david

:hug:

[bdamomma]

26. very nice neckline!!! I like the detail.

and smile girl!

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Thanks

I smile a lot in RL ... just not when I take pics of myself :)

[ismnotwasm]

27. It looks better on you

Than it does on the model in the picture. I like the color better and the way the lines of the dress flow on you. You look lovely.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Thank you

:blush:

[Old Troop]

33. Perfect!!

[bigwillq]

34. It looks very nice on you.

:hi:

[keroro gunsou]

35. photoshop ftw

color corrected in image 1. image 2, color corrected, and the background desaturated, for the full MHC effect.






and if you don't mind me saying, "HELLO NURSE!" :yourock:

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. Ooh, la-la! Classy!

[marzipanni]

38. That does show the smoky amethyst color better

It's one of my favorite colors, so I appreciate that you corrected it.

If I had been shopping with MissHC when she tried it on, I would have said, "YES! That's the one!!!"

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[WinkyDink]

37. That dress fits you to a T! You and it are beautiful!

[ThomCat]

39. It's a beautiful dress

and it looks great on you, even if you aren't smiling. :loveya:

:hug:
I hope you have a great time wearing it.

[blueraven95]

40. I love it, MissH

now I want one. But I don't think it will look as good on me as it does on you.


:hi: :loveya:

[applegrove]

41. Pretty. Looks good on you. Enjoy the big events.

[Kali]

42. looks nice

have fun!

[SwampG8r]

43. the dress is beautiful on you

i think it needs a flash on the wrists and neck maybe the ears
i wish you were closer my wifes birthstone is amethyst and she has some nice pieces that would really umph it up a notch
i always make a big party out of other peoples weddings so you do the same

[SeattleGirl]

44. What a beautiful dress, MissHoney!

You look gorgeous in it! :loveya:

[vixengrl]

45. It's a classic--flatteringly designed, tasteful, and simple--

I'd call it "win".

Without smiling, actually, you remind me of antique photographs--only your necklace is too modern. But I think the overall look is very nice. And the color is neat, too--to complete the look, I would say one pair of stunning earrings should be enough. Tres chic.

[zanana1]

46. It's beautiful but...

A smile would make it absolutely gorgeous! You look good!

[Blue_Tires]

47. Wonderful!

Where is the wedding going to be?

[snooper2]

48. Nice dress, somebody did a bad tile job though :)

You shouldn't have a piece so thin at the transition point to the wood floor..

Always start in the middle, and do a lay out first

:P
