I haven't done a middle part for a while, although sometimes it's only a tad to the right, not as visible as when the stylist did it. I don't have a settled side part yet, I always have decide on it after a wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/as-good-as-new#post-1374052 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 00:40:25 +0000 Carla 1374052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the epitome of the 'Astrid Look'.

I never altered anything before I found YLF and getting things just right has been a revelation. Especially hem and sleevelengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/as-good-as-new#post-1373943 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 18:29:04 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1373943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Astrid!

And no, you haven't. Yes, I have lost weight, rather a lot actually. More than 20 lbs, compared to the heaviest you've seen me here on YLF.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/as-good-as-new#post-1373930 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 17:46:26 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1373930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to ask if you had lost weight on a WIW but wasn't sure if it was the new haircut and didn't want to be rude and ask.</p> <p>You are looking great Astrid (not that you haven't always looked lovely). &nbsp;I hope I haven't put my foot in my mouth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/as-good-as-new#post-1373835 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 14:01:09 +0000 Astrid 1373835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz.

And for very little money. They are as good as new and I feel really <i>dressed</i> again, wearing them. When they were too big I felt more like I was playing dress up. Know what I mean? Now they sit in my waist again and have a better length - so three cheers for alterations! </p>
