Aloha Friday - Goth or Not


"In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response."


So head over to her site, An Island Life and answer her question but while you are here you might as well answer mine:
Can a 35 year old stay-at-home mom pull off black nail polish?
No saying that I should wear anything that makes me comfortable :) I painted my (short) fingernails black last night and I like it...but I'm not sure if it's appropriate. My 6 year old loves it as well, but she would be thrilled if I came home sporting pink hair adorned with glitter. Tell me the truth. I won't cut you off my Christmas list!

  5. Of course! (I'm a 50's Posh Mama and even I am thinking of wearing black nail polish with one of my outfits!) I have a good friend with 3 young girls who is 42 and she wears black nail polish with funky sandals all the time and it looks Fab!!

  6. There's a guy at work that used to wear black nail polish and thought it was funny. I'm sure it will look MUCH better on you.

  10. I'm thinking that since you are asking you should probably go with your gut.

  11. I say go for it. Inappropriate is wearing clothes from the juniors' section well into your 40s. Black nail polish is, at most, a personality statement, and at the very least, fun!

  13. You have to not care what people think. I am 26 and recently painted my nails dark blue. My boss asked if I did it for a special occasion or something. No, I just like dark colors!!! :)

  14. I say wear what you like. Who cares if someone else does not like it, you do what makes you happy!

  15. Think of nail polish as an accessory to your outfit. If it goes well, wear it proud! Now that we are coming into fall, consider dark purple as a slightly less rebellious alternative :) Love your blog! keep it up!
