I don’t normally style it this way And thanks for the tip re eyebrow dyeing . I’m pretty pleased with the results I got - but always up for something new and improved . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart/page/2#post-2115819 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 17:39:21 +0000 karen13 2115819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang, lisa p - way to raise the bar. I've been telling myself that my ridiculously shaggy pixie is fine, and here you go with self-cut hair that looks fab. Plus a polished outfit. Sheesh. You, JAIleen and Astrid are going to get me in trouble with the scissors.</p> <p>I too have white brows. And I haven't tinted in ages. But one word - Refectocil. you don't need to buy the developer if you have regular household hydrogen peroxide around. It what my esthetician used when I got them done regularly. I usually mix 2/3 light brown #3.1 with 1/3 medium brown &nbsp;#3 and leave on brows for longer than the recommended (I think I do about 15 minutes) as my hair doesn't take dye well. Then just wipe it off with a tissue. The light brown is pretty good by itself initially but doesn't last long unless I mix in the medium. I have purchased on Amazon. The next time you are in the shower, scrub brows gently with a soft wash cloth and it comes off the skin pretty easily.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart/page/2#post-2115560 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 20:00:39 +0000 CocoLion 2115560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very chic and comfortable too. &nbsp;Stay safe when going to Wal*Mart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart/page/2#post-2115526 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 17:12:05 +0000 Anonymous 2115526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi - ha - I didn't know how else to describe that top. The aforementioned garden centre has a fantastic women's clothing boutique in it, and I buy a lot of things there. Occasionally I buy something weird, and this was one of them. It's actually a cocoon/hi-low shape yoga coverup . &nbsp; &nbsp;Walmart is American but it crept into Canada about a decade ago (maybe longer - I can't remember ) . &nbsp;It's more than a supermarket: it's a gigantic mass market retailer owned by an American family with abysmal socio-political views . &nbsp;One of those "hate-shop" experiences. &nbsp;The clientele are all over the place economically , too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart/page/2#post-2115478 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 15:31:29 +0000 Zaeobi 2115478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reading the description of your 'random oversize black t-shirt thing' that you bought from a garden centre, I wasn't quite sure what to expect lol. But YLF! I like the curved hem (think it's called a shark bite or handkerchief hem right, when it's longer at the sides like that?) </p> <p>The earrings are terrific too - they look like they'd be really lightweight &amp; comfortable in your ears whilst still making a statement. My kind of impact, although I can't comment on their suitability for Walmart (I've heard many mythical things about it but never actually been in one, even when stateside - what makes it any different to say, Kroger or any other American supermarket, lol? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart/page/2#post-2115470 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 14:57:24 +0000 abby 2115470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I despise WalMart! &nbsp;The only way that I will buy anything there is if I am sure that they lose money on the transaction. &nbsp;As you may guess, I am seldom at WalMart. &nbsp;The same is true for a nearby grocery that fired my teenage daughter the day before she qualified for benefits.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Gretchen, I tried the same trick as your “princess” with similar results. &nbsp;I moved to Colorado on two different occasions for jobs lasting less than a year. &nbsp;Each time, I took only my small purse. &nbsp;I determined to set up housekeeping by buying everything after I arrived, including even a car. &nbsp;I got away with it the first time, sort of. &nbsp;My wardrobe was quite nice. &nbsp;Shop till I drop in Denver...WOOHOO!! &nbsp;My grown daughter was appalled when I showed her, years later, the dump of an apartment that I rented. &nbsp;The second time I rented a really nice furnished house and she approved of it. &nbsp;I put together a great wardrobe again (great fun and hey, when I look fab, everything else falls into place!), but buying that car was too much adventure even for me. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart/page/2#post-2115375 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 23:14:12 +0000 Marilyn 2115375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL&nbsp; Nope! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart/page/2#post-2115371 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 22:21:30 +0000 Anonymous 2115371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next up: boxed highlights .

I think the pink touches, especially the earrings, make it an *outfit* if you know what I mean. Hair is looking terrific too. </p> <p>I hear you — I hate Walmart and only go to one when it’s the only option. Usually when I’m on the road in rural areas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart#post-2115236 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 11:53:59 +0000 Helena 2115236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I LOVE this. Perfectly comfy and practical for the weekend, and still has your signature polished edge - this is a holy grail outfit in my book.</p> <p>Walmart is not my favourite but it has it's place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart#post-2115211 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 09:15:29 +0000 Bijou 2115211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going anywhere is such a treat. We have some stores like Target and hardware open, but as I don’t need anything essential from them I am staying home. My only shopping adventure is groceries and it feels like an outing to get them. </p> <p>You always look glam and pulled together. It is often the accessories that make an outfit, as you have beautifully demonstrated here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart#post-2115201 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 03:38:51 +0000 Suz 2115201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, <b>Lisa</b>! And amazingly spring-like with the pink Nickel and Suede earrings. Love the ballerina pink/blush and black. It's fresh.&nbsp;</p> <p>Laughing at your descriptions of the clientele. I'll bet everybody is just looking for any excuse to wear real clothes! I'll probably wear a dress when I finally get out in the world and go to Canadian Tire. I mean, why not?</p> <p><b>Marilyn</b> -- I'm so sorry about your son, but glad also that he is getting paid better. He deserves it.&nbsp;</p> <p>The provinces are handling all this stuff slightly differently. My friends in Ontario tell me you can't go in the stores like Lowes. In BC, some of our garden stores are open (but not all) and you can still walk into Canadian Tire and Lowe's and Home Depot. Assuming there are no more than 50 at a time. I am <b>REALLY </b>looking forward to going later this week. I've been working nonstop the past few weeks and getting out to the garden centre is going to be my big reward once I get this project done!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart#post-2115197 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 03:15:48 +0000 Anonymous 2115197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish we had Target here too ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart#post-2115192 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 03:08:00 +0000 Jaime 2115192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to go to Walmarts about now.

And you Glad to hear he recovered though . The eyebrow tinting is not a big deal , don’t worry . Just get a soft brown ( or whatever is closest to your hair colour ) and it’s truly ok. My remaining eyebrow hair is pure white now so I have to do it otherwise I look weird . Well , weirder than I have to - lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart#post-2115173 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 00:19:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2115173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Lisa.

Apparently all the young people are using men's beard and mustache dye which comes in a little box that is half the price of a box of hair colour and is resealable for multiple uses . &nbsp;She was the one who got me onto this and picked out the goods. I'll be doing it later tonight &nbsp;It does go on dark, but also doesn't last terribly long so you're not stuck looking crazy for too long . &nbsp;It also tints the skin underneath your brows - only for a week or so - and helps give your brows more depth and definition . &nbsp;</p> <p>Marilyn - I was surprised that these stores were open here too. &nbsp;I guess building and repair stuff is essential, and taping off sections of the store must have been deemed unnecessary. I would imagine they are limiting the numbers of people allowed inside, which is what they were doing at Walmart. &nbsp;I do feel guilty , however, for taking advantage of these places for completely unnecessary things . Probably won't do that again . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart#post-2115150 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 21:50:17 +0000 Style Fan 2115150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla is right.&nbsp; Black and pink are ballerina colours.&nbsp; Very pretty.&nbsp; Your hair looks fabulous.&nbsp; I am interested in eyebrow tint but then I might go too dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-it-real---wiw-419-to-walmart#post-2115149 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 21:46:39 +0000 Debbie 2115149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Walmart is not someplace I ever go but yesterday I did.

Literally got on the train with no bags, figuring she would pick something up when she go to Colorado. Sadly for her, the choices were touristy arty boutiques ($$$) or Walmart. She found a sundress and we teased her for years about never shopping high end again. </p>
