I think your hair always looks great but understand why you might want to grow it out a bit. A change can feel really good. I had super short hair for many years and it took a couple of try's for my grow out to stick (if you can call my chin-length bob grown out :))</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921/page/2#post-2237662 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 15:41:47 +0000 Anonymous 2237662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those YSL lip oils look interesting. &nbsp;I miss wearing lip colour SO much - it was a huge part of my look. But I'm in a mask for 8 hours a day, 4 days a week so.....</p> <p>The slit hem pants are fun, and I'm also looking forward to trying them with a platform sneaker. &nbsp;Janet - I had those same pants from Zara too, and they didn't last the year in my closet. As with everything I try from Zara, the fit was just off.</p> <p>I'm flattered to read my name in the same sentence as Sharon Stone, but somehow I just don't see it. &nbsp;She has professional styling at hand, I'm sure. &nbsp;I like the idea of longer layered-messy hair, but the styling is beyond me - which is why mine has looked the same for 20 years . Lol. &nbsp;</p> <p>And yes, men can take a seat with their hair and outfit comments. I think he saw right away that he had hurt me, and didn't say another word about it. &nbsp;PLUS - he has NO hair so why he feels the need to comment is beyond me. I think he was annoyed about something unrelated and it came out in my direction .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921/page/2#post-2237639 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 14:58:03 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2237639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking gorgeous. I've been on a beige/camel and black vibe these days too (and as you'll see in another post, coveting a fancy black and gold bag.) You finally found some good slit hem pants, too! And I also bought two red lipsticks earlier this week (the stain works better for me but I don't want to be that jerk who returns used cosmetics).</p> <p>As for the hair, I think yours suits your personality and style well -- but you know, nothing wrong with trying something new for a change. Men are often on the long hair (and dresses) thing. (My ex husband used to comment so much on one or the other that I did the opposite. Now my hair is very long and I wear dresses often, just because I like to!)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921/page/2#post-2237629 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 14:34:59 +0000 Synne 2237629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty!

Split on the pants a great detail with showing off those gorgeous boots. I hate loose/wide sleeves indeed but now that you explained why you love them...Hmm, I may try again see if solves a problem-then I will be happy to conform from times to times&nbsp; as I too always feel I have a small head (esp with a short cut) in picties.&nbsp; </p> <p>And, I am also growing out my hair a bit longer, especially on the back/neck. I never had a very short pixie but the back was always sort of short- (the recipee was a longer front&nbsp; and a shorter&nbsp; back). Now I want sort of a shorter on top and sides and longer back (is that a shag?) as I just don't like my neck from the back view anymore...Turns out it thickened over the years- and now I want&nbsp; some hair to cover more of it if possible, without being too long-as my hair is also very thin, very fragile and very fine...(I was always told to have a swan neck in my youth- but&nbsp; probably weight gain and decades of&nbsp; bad postures during office hours and cooking at home, too- (I am possibly too tall for an average desk height) made this to me unfortunatelly).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921/page/2#post-2237601 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:19:57 +0000 Anonymous 2237601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this- so chic!

Yes, very Celine/PP and in a very good way. </p> <p>I don’t know who hates those sleeves but I like them a lot — I just don’t see them very often. They add a nice touch of drama. Love the split hem pants too! I have wanted a pair for a long time and even bought a pair a couple of years ago, but I finally had to admit the fit was wrong for me — too high waisted and too much room in the crotch with no way to alter them (confirmed by my tailor), so away they went. </p> <p>Hair. Oh, haven’t we all had these struggles with hair? Funny, my husband liked my hair “short” (not pixie short but sort of above the shoulder) but now with it grey I feel like that would be so…predictable or something. Hubs also likes when my hair is either left curly and natural or professionally straightened, more than he likes it in the in-between stages, which of course is where I default! It’s too unpredictable left to dry curly, and I cannot straighten it well on my own. Too bad! </p> <p>I’m still figuring out my hair — I’m due for a cut in the next couple of weeks, but I’m actually liking the longer length of it now, so I really don’t want my stylist to take any length off, so much as work the layers to refine the 70s-inspired shag shape. I have a hard time with the bangs — mine feel too short and heavy. All that to say I empathize. Hair is hard! I like the idea of you and Angie sharing a grow-out project. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237576 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 09:43:17 +0000 Bijou 2237576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great outfit and I love the red manicure. I often think of Sharon Stone when I see your WIWs and think you could wear any of her hairstyles. My DH likes my hair long and blonde, last year when I had about 2 inches taken off he commented that at this rate I would soon be looking like Sinead O'Connor - husbands! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237567 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 08:13:20 +0000 approprio 2237567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is The Real Lisa P in the best way possible.

The retro buttons (and sleeve) slay me (in a good way). Pants are fab on you too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck with the hair grow out! The need for change after so many months of same old same old is real. But ugh, I'm sorry your husband had to catalyze it the way he did -- that hurts. I am with <b>Sally</b> -- you have to take it all with a grain or two of salt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237551 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 05:25:26 +0000 rachylou 2237551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Old school Celine rocks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237535 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 03:48:47 +0000 Jaime 2237535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will start by giving the non-hair part some attention. I absolutely love Phoebe Philo's Celine and cannot wait to see what her new line looks like. I was intrigued that you plan to match your clothing to your nails. At any rate, outfit looks great nails included.&nbsp;<br />As to hair, not all commentators (husbands included) really have the vision to imagine what would happen if we took their advice. My husband does make the odd dumb comment about my experiments in clothing. Fortunately he stays away from my hair because he knows nothing is more important than me being happy with it . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237534 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 03:39:34 +0000 Carla 2237534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like Sharon Stone as hair inspo for you. &nbsp;You have similar facial features, and I think, similar hair texture?&nbsp;I find #1 is pretty, and wouldn’t be a ‘mare for styling or upkeep. &nbsp;You could always style it up (like #2) when you’re feeling the need for drama! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237533 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 03:33:47 +0000 lozz_oz 2237533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally love how you’ve combined all these items - great look.<br /> As a fellow pixie short hair cut gal, I very much understand the frustration at times with our hair. Mine is fine but with some natural body and doesn’t require much more than the tiniest bit of product and a quick blow dry.<br /> I think it’s a matter of wishing we had other choices other than short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237528 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 02:57:41 +0000 Peri 2237528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DH would never say anything to purposefully hurt, but he does say things like "but I like your curly hair" any time I go for something straighter. Obvious reason...when we were young my hair was seriously curly. Age and hormones (lack of), it's just mildly wavy now. He doesn't see me as my current old self, which is really sweet, but sometimes I want to yell at him that I can't help not being 20 anymore! Men, such goobers.&nbsp;</p> <p>As far as growing out, I am doing that too, but very unwillingly since I can't go to a salon for who knows how long. Totally his "fault"! Not his fault but because of him. It's been 5 months now and will probably be another 5. Men might like long hair but no one is going to say this is pretty!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237525 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 02:31:15 +0000 catherine 2237525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit looks so stylish.

Husbands often have weird ideas about our hair ( it’s mine and I know what I can and cannot do with it ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237511 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 01:02:51 +0000 Angie 2237511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spring will be here before you know it! The TOP of my hair is very short. The fringe too. The rest of my hair will get there faster. I will continue to colour and keep the bottom of the back neat. That will help. I quite like the '70s short hairstyles too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237510 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 01:01:47 +0000 CarolS 2237510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you would not catch me wearing the sleeve on that cardigan, but it certainly looks great on you!!</p> <p>Sounds like a fun hair project.

Why does 5-6 months sound like a life time though? &nbsp;I don't even know what I'm aspiring too, but very similar to yours. &nbsp;I need to grow the back layers ( no further than the nape though ) and top out, then we'll go from there.</p> <p>High five to all of you reminding me that husbands can step off. &nbsp;Ha. &nbsp;Mine doesn't know how lucky he is, I swear &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237501 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 00:29:44 +0000 Angie 2237501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes!

I have very fine hair, many crowns, a few cows-licks, and am thinning in front. I'm simply good at masking these things and styling my hair! My specs draw attention away from my hair too. As does a good outfit. At least I am hoping so .....BUT, your hair looks thick, gorgeous and lush! You manage it very well. And milk your earring style.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am outside with dogs in the rain, cold, and wind many times a day. (Tornado warning today). Seattle weather is HARD on hair. Add mask, specs, hood, beanie - GOOD GRIEF! But you know what - it's okay! We have to relax into it, and just let it be. I believe that our hair looks better than we think! And NOT obsessing about it is attractive too.&nbsp;</p> <p>We need this hair change! 5 to 6 months for me, probably. Let's persevere together and run with it! It will be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237499 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 00:22:32 +0000 Style Fan 2237499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, you look fabulous as always.&nbsp; Those pants are amazing.&nbsp; I have heard of that label but never tried them.&nbsp; I like the look of the sleeves, but they would get in my way.<br />Red nails are a yes from me.&nbsp; Nail polish falls off my nails, but I love it on others.&nbsp; Very glam looking.<br />My husband sends me hairstyles all the time; right now, he is urging me to try the wolf cut.&nbsp; No. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237493 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 00:02:13 +0000 Jonesy 2237493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Raising my hand as a fellow lover of long, dramatic sleeves! My arms are really long, so I am used to sleeves being too short, which I really don't like. So when sleeves are long, they feel luxurious and special to me. Anyway, enough about me and my very long arms :). I think this is a gorgeous look and it does capture the PP Celine vibe quite well! That cardigan looks beautiful on you and I love the pants and boots. </p> <p>I wholeheartedly think you should do what you want with your hair--significant others sometimes need to pipe down about these matters! Good luck growing it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-all-old-school-celine-like-wiw-11921#post-2237492 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 23:58:34 +0000 Anonymous 2237492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous scarves , Angie .

I feel like I do the best with what I have. I have crappy fine , thinning and cowlick ridden hair . There is only so much one can do with it . It also doesn’t grow at all as fast as it used to , and I swear some parts of my head don’t grow hair at all anymore . Unlike you , I’m terrible with alternative styling . I just don’t have that skill set , and am honestly not interested in fussing with it anymore than I have to . I know Seattle has challenging weather , and so does the Prairies . In addition to snow blowing around , it’s also incredibly windy here . I hate having to worry about what happens to my hair when I run from car to bldg in a full-on wind storm . Nothing is more aging than fussing with one’s hair . However , I guess it’s time to see if I can persevere . I used to think I could only deal with one self-improvement issue at a time ( weight , hair , fitness) but I can’t keep using that excuse . Looking forward to seeing how yours grows! </p> <p>Carla - I think you’re right . Growing my hair might be the change I need . </p> <p>Sally - my stylist is also one of my best friends , which has its pros and cons , so I do trust her . All the rest of my friends think my hair is great - so they are no help . Maybe I owe my husband this , as I never do anything fashion-wise to please him , lol. The photos I take for this forum exaggerate the size and length of my head , and my hair is quite a bit shorter than it looks in pictures . </p>
