I just use them for exercize and travel, so want them to go with everything. I really hate wearing them though, they feel like concrete blocks on my feet, and they're almost as hot as boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2360014 Tue, 14 May 2024 08:49:40 +0000 Brooklyn 2360014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sneakers are really hard for a DA! I’d like a non-white pair too but off white sneakers can look kind of dirty. I personally don’t like black. It feels too heavy for Spring/Summer (which is when I tend to wear them). I like olive the best but it’s SO hard to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359941 Mon, 13 May 2024 12:53:16 +0000 RobinF 2359941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are more experimental than I am! I didn't even know there were such things as magnetic eyelashes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried some Adidas and didn't find them at all comfortable. They were stiff and hard. Look cute though!</p> <p>I do not get manicures or pedicures but have recently started using Dazzle Dry nail polishes to do it myself and quite like them. They are healthier for the nails (supposedly :)) and dry fast and really do last quite a while. Before now I stuck to clear or no polish because I can't keep polish on, but my nails were not looking pretty to me so I am trying this in a very neutral color. We'll see how it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359926 Mon, 13 May 2024 09:25:28 +0000 Suntiger 2359926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know about the Gazelles, cause I considered them too. For now, I'm just wearing my old runners for biking and zumba, and keeping the Keds as my airport shoes. I *should* prioritize the sneaker hunt, but then I go and buy easy and fun things instead! </p> <p>My bio hair is around shoulder length, and extensions around waist length, same as all my clip in ponytails. They'd look shorter on a taller person (I'm only 5'3"), but they're available in lots of lengths. </p> <p>Occasionally I'll see someone I haven't seen in a while, and they'll comment that my hair has grown (I tell them, of course), but no one bats an eye otherwise. Probably cause the color is the same, and I hadn't worn my bio hair down in over a year (and it was long before). Even DH says he forgets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359917 Mon, 13 May 2024 02:24:34 +0000 Angie 2359917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOH! Hair extensions! How glam and Hollywood :)&nbsp;</p> <p>How long is your hair with the extensions?&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm with you on the rubbing of too long sneaker tongues that are NOT soft. Don't work for my feet either.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359916 Mon, 13 May 2024 01:25:21 +0000 Jaime 2359916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my - hair extensions! magnetic lashes! I am feeling a bit dull . Too bad about the Sambas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359915 Mon, 13 May 2024 00:58:46 +0000 JAileen 2359915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have Adidas Women’s Campus in Navy and Men’s Gazelles in Charcoal and Olive. &nbsp;(I converted the size and they fit fine.) &nbsp; The Campus don’t have giant tongues, but the only ones I see now are platforms. &nbsp;The olive Gazelles have <i></i><i>off white</i><b></b> stripes. They&nbsp;do have big tongues, but I’m making them work. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359914 Mon, 13 May 2024 00:12:25 +0000 Suntiger 2359914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All black sneakers are easier, but was hoping to find black with gumsoles. I have all black Keds type ones, which I wore in Florida. They're lightweight and minimalist, but not soft inside at all, even with insoles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359913 Mon, 13 May 2024 00:07:49 +0000 Suntiger 2359913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Saucony runners have the opposite issue Suz! The tongue is barely longer than the top of the laces, and sometimes I struggle to get it out from under. </p> <p>The eyelashes have these little magnets that stick to the eyeliner. Basically you just have to hold it together a minute til they stick. Theres another sort that goes over and under the natural lashes too, but that seems even more difficult. There are also glue on ones, but not comfortable with putting glue near my eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359912 Mon, 13 May 2024 00:04:45 +0000 Irina 2359912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Long tongues on Sambas used to bother me, too. I recently bought all black pair with smaller tongues and love it. It’s unlined and extremely soft sneakers, exactly as I wanted.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359911 Sun, 12 May 2024 23:53:57 +0000 Suz 2359911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a shame about the sneakers. They showed promise, but. Why are shoes so darn difficult?&nbsp;</p> <p>You are a braver woman than I am to try magnetic eyelashes. I can't even figure out how that would work at all. They sound wild. But that is great news about the hair extensions working out.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/head-to-toe-experiments#post-2359905 Sun, 12 May 2024 23:18:34 +0000 Suntiger 2359905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've pretty much lost interest in fashion of late. Not in a bad way exactly, just been focusing on the Swedish Death Cleaning, work, family, and such.<br /> But I have tried out a few new things, mostly in the beauty department.</p> <p>Top to bottom:<br /> Halo hair extensions. They tuck under your bio hair and have a (mostly) invisible wire for the top. Fun change from the clip ins, and not fussy at all, though not good on a hot humid day! As long as the color is a good match they blend right in with the bio hair.</p> <p>Magnetic eye lashes. Much more problematic than the hair! They go on overtop an included liquid eyeliner. I ended up cutting them in half and just adding them to the outer corners, cause the full strip didn't lie neatly on the lid. While they did stay put during the day, definitely fussy to apply.</p> <p>Kur Nail Concealer. Definitely one of the more successful "Buzzfeed made me buy it" purchases. Bought the pumpkin shade, and, while it's transparent, it also hides flaws quite well. Will save me time and $ on pedis (plus I hate being fussed over tbh). Any chips or grow outs aren't obvious like opaque polish. </p> <p>Leaf razors. Bought the 3 blade one and dermaplanor in the prism color. So far so good, though haven't tried replacing the blades yet. Haven't cut myself at least! Not a fan of their video which shows how to set it up. They really rush through it, so you have to pause to figure it out. But- happy to reduce my plastic waste! </p> <p>Lastly- Adidas Sambas. I had high hopes. Finally a suficiently minimalist (read- low profile and gumsoles not In Your Face White Soles) sneaker! Well, big nope For some reason, the tongues are ridiculously long, therefore, really uncomfortable at the anklebone. Plus the stripes were So Darn White (I tried the black, of course). Thank you- next! </p> <p>Hope these help </p>
