Love both the haircut and glasses on you! It does work well sometimes to just let the hair stylist run with it, to do what they want.</p> <p>And your frames suit you perfectly -- may I ask who makes them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-816305 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:21:46 +0000 Angie 816305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER new do and specs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-816137 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 06:24:10 +0000 ManidipaM 816137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great snappy cut and I think the specs are rather cool too! What were your reservations about them? Did you have something in mind that the shop didn't have?</p> <p>For what it's worth, I think you look lovely and stylish. But of course it is so MUCH more important to feel like *you* in your stuff (though I also agree it can take getting used to when you're making sharp changes, even if you are going in the direction you wanted in the first place!).</p> <p>I know once you get started, it's nice to feel like you're on a roll --- the goal is suddenly in clear sight and looks achievable! --- and also frustrated about the rate of progress when you feel like you want to go out there and change everything today, this minute, or this week or month at least. But be kind to yourself and patient. You *will* get there, in your own time and on your own budget. It's often more fun, I've found, to do as Angie says and wait for the perfect piece to come along over time.</p> <p>In the meanwhile, I hope you can add your new special pieces, especially the hair and specs that are now 'regulars', to your existing wardrobe and feel fabulously special in them. Because you ARE.</p> <p>So good to see you looking refreshed and happy after the exhausting holidays you had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-816105 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 05:14:25 +0000 Debbie 816105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are beautiful!

Anyway, you are beautiful. Your haircut and glasses are striking (and I'll take your word on the bra fitting). I'm glad the new look is propelling you forward out of your "depressed clothes". What a boost! I'm so happy seeing your smiling face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-815814 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:11:21 +0000 Anonymous 815814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your specs and beautiful smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-815809 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:08:01 +0000 Janet 815809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! So nice to see you! </p> <p>Your hair looks great, your specs suit you, and I agree with the others that you are beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-815795 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:55:09 +0000 Suz 815795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have seen bits of Elly before. But we have never seen her as beautiful as this! </p> <p>Elly, you are a stunning young woman. LOVE your new specs; they are fun, flattering, and versatile. And your hair looks great, too. </p> <p>I am so glad you are feeling more optimistic, and hope you'll show us more of your style very soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-815780 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:43:30 +0000 Diana 815780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're beautiful! (I don't think we've "seen" you before, have we?) I love the new specs and they are very well-suited for your face shape. I think when you get bold specs for the first time it takes a few days to get used to them because they change one's look so much and are much more "present" than more unassuming specs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-815776 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:41:55 +0000 JulieJohn 815776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second those emotions.

You are beautiful. I absolutely adore your new specs. They suit you perfectly! Good luck with your style journey, you've already taken the first important steps now. I'd love to see some of your outfits on the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-815770 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:39:03 +0000 Caro in Oz 815770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful (you) &amp; fab (you &amp; the glasses). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-glasses-and-new-hair---style-renewal#post-815760 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:35:04 +0000 morethanbeige 815760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I second ik!

They are much bolder than my old pair and I am not 100% sure that I love them, but my mom and the SO seem to both like them. I tried on many pairs and ended up buying my favorite-- in a lot of ways I am very lucky because there is a very "style-y" local optical shop and the owner is very very good at insisting on great fit and flattery, so at least I shouldn't have major glasses faux-pas issues like too narrow frames or the like. </p> <p>I also got a new haircut about halfway through December. I let the hairstylist run with it and went from below my shoulders to an asymmetrical bob. I think it needs tweaking, and is a little grown out by now, but with the holiday crazies I haven't had a chance to take many pictures or post. It is another of the things that everyone else loves, but I am not 100% sure about. </p> <p>Honestly, I think part of it is not drawing attention to myself for such a long time and now shying away from things that do! Also, the hair and glasses really clash with old clothes from my "depressing" period which I haven't completely gotten around to replacing (time! budget!). </p> <p>I also got a bra fitting in November while I was in Arizona at the Intimacy in Scottsdale-- it was night and day (especially after a nightmare fitting at Nordies). I love my new bras!</p> <p>Funny enough, I've completed the 3 major parts of a "style renewal" as recommended by Angie, without even thinking about it! I also have a new pair of jeans I am really happy with for work, and I couple new basic and layering tops. </p> <p>It feels great to have some new clothes that look sharp (since they are in such good condition compared to what I have been wearing) and fit well, but I am really feeling the need to add style and interest and experiment with jackets, toppers, tops, shoes an accessories. I real want to take things a step further and feel like me (and special) in my clothes. </p>
