I’ve done a bit of reading online and am fairly certain it’s plantar fasciitis. Need to have that confirmed, of course, but am glad to have a clue. Also, from the one friend I knew who had it, I thought it was a horrid thing that would never ever leave you. That’s not the impression I get from sources that would usually predict a long &amp; horrid existence. Seems some exercises, particularly rolling out &amp; improving the flexibility of my arches, can take care of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060844 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 19:31:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2060844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aliceinwonderland, you have hit on exactly the one thing about the Cleopatra that makes me nervous—I did have much thicker bangs, have only recently gotten half of them to grow out so I can have this wispy fringe. </p> <p>Cardiff, that is so nice of you to say! Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060839 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 19:21:33 +0000 Alicewonderland 2060839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Cardiff girl, your hair is too nice to cut all off. What about growing out your bangs?<br /> <a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OXK2XhflcqU/UlhQNrjtRRI/AAAAAAAABK4/j9Gi0kQd880/s1600/greygood.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OXK.....eygood.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060834 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 18:39:42 +0000 Cardiff girl 2060834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have beautiful hair so it would be a shame to cut it too short,a long bob or lob as they are now called would be lovely but please don’t cut it all off,it is your glory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060797 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 16:49:55 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2060797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carla.

A chop could be really fresh!

I’m thinking longer, but still that sharp cut angling slightly down in front. Sort of like Kay Perry’s here. I also like Constance Wu's blunt bangs in the round-up La Ped posted. What do you think of that for me? Also, who is that in the pic you posted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060754 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 13:26:45 +0000 Carla 2060754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this what you mean by cleopatra cut? NICE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060715 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 12:16:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2060715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks for that description of my hair, Bijou!<br /> I’ll look for your pink barrettes in your WIWs. </p> <p>Come to think of it, I do have a fair amount of hair accessories already, should shop this basket. But it would be more fun to style a clean-cut, smooth long bob. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060675 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 05:57:33 +0000 Bijou 2060675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow this is a hard one, because you have beautiful hair. However, a Cleopatra cut would be so dramatic and stylish - I think you should go for it. Stunning with your beautiful thick hair.</p> <p>I bought some glittery hair slides and love them, in pink (of course)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060609 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 22:34:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2060609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I’d been planning to trim up the ends same as usual until you commented on someone else’s cleopatra cut. I can’t remember who, or even what you said, just that the idea jumped off the screen at me. </p> <p>La Ped, if I look half as good as you do in your blue and tan newsie caps, I’ll be happy. Nice round-up of bangs, will probably come in handy explaining what I want. Thanks. Interesting about the accessories wish being a front for needing a haircut. I’ll have to observe myself &amp; see if I’m the same. Right now I know it needs cutting because it’s long enough to get caught under my armpits, ew. </p> <p>Thanks Ophelia! I get the spiralies sometimes too. Never notice them until they are several inches long and sticking out. Then they get yanked (I won’t go bald—there aren’t that many of them). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060593 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 21:38:13 +0000 LaPed 2060593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, and here's a great recent bangs round-up.

You had it shoulder length in the Tampa days didn’t you?<br /> I think it looks great now. I wish my white hair came in like that instead of stand-up spirals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060554 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 18:30:56 +0000 LaPed 2060554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always feel tempted to buy hair accessories when what I really need is to trim my hair or tweak the cut somehow. I'm obviously a big fan of bobs with bangs (waving back at Angie ). And I think you could definitely do chunky, blunt bangs really well. I recently heard the term "clavicle bob" used to describe what I've always heard referred to as a "lob" or long bob. I could see you with either a shoulder grazing cut or chin-length. Would look super cute with that royal purple newsie cap you just tried on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060530 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 17:49:32 +0000 Angie 2060530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You would look GREAT with a cleopatra haircut! Wave to<b> La Ped.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060526 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 17:32:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2060526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, I def need to get an inch or more trimmed off—it’s getting messy down there. Hairdressers seem to like putting layers around my face, to “soften” it, as if my girl-next-door face weren’t soft enough already. That’s why I’m thinking of asking for a Cleopatra cut. I’d like it to angle downwards towards my face, but if it just is straight across, I’d count it as a win.</p> <p>Janet, being able to wear my hair down is a plus of getting out of the heat into a 4-season climate, for sure! But how do you keep it out of your face? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060503 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 16:25:53 +0000 Janet 2060503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like Carla’s suggestion. </p> <p>Like Helena, I have trouble with hair accessories. I just don’t bother unless I’m putting my hair back for exercise or while I’m working. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060482 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 15:16:04 +0000 Carla 2060482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*oops!

If you are attached to v. Long hair, you don't have to go as short as shoulder grazing. Still long enough to put up or pull into a pony tail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060469 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 14:48:38 +0000 nemosmom 2060469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the lazy bit...I am, too. Have you played with different ponytail styles?&nbsp; I love Abby Smith's messy buns and various ponytail tutorials.

I find it really hard to work with hair accessories and different as I get older; they feel a bit kid-dish on me (that's a personal bias though!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060433 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 13:58:02 +0000 Anonymous 2060433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just in case you may want to check your bp, to be sure that's not what causes the swelling.<br /> Etsy has lots of fun hair accessories!

I can image you grey would look amazing at shoulder length, or with thicker bangs, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060407 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 13:14:26 +0000 cindysmith 2060407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just use a hair elastic to make what my sister-in-law and I call our doo-doo balls. She does hers far more neatly than I do mine. I start like I'm going to make a ponytail, then when I get to that last wrap of the elastic, I only pull the hair halfway through, leaving part of the hair sticking out at the top or side. That way, it still shows the texture (my extensions have pretty great texture with almost no product). I also like doing a similar effect with a jaw-style clamp. I generally do the doo-doo ball on the back of my head and the jaw clamp on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-different-hair-accessories-sigh-and-accessories-in-general#post-2060384 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 11:38:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2060384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve tried various other things over the years, but am basically lazy. I sometimes put it in a bun or one big French braid, but could use new ideas. I like highlighting the texture and “grain” of the different colors. </p> <p>Also, the newsboy cap Angie showed is so cute! I’m going to keep looking at them, and at belt bags.</p> <p>Finally, tights! Several shops around here have compression tights and hose in their windows. I’ve had sore feet recently, and am wondering if those might help. My feet feel swollen all over, although it isn’t enough to see. The internet says either I should quit wimpering or I’m going to die.</p> <p>ETA slept on it &amp; realized lack of accessories is not the cause of my boredom. Lack of variety, maybe, but I generally don’t even use what I’ve got. </p>
