I'm feeling much better about the cut now. : ) I just looked up pictures of Audrey Tautou and I have lots of inspiration for styles!</p> <p>Tarzy -- my "secret" is that I cut it dry. With wavy/curly hair, I don't have to worry about layers being even or anything. (I think they only benefit to cutting wet is getting everything exactly even.)</p> <p>It's raining today, so I got to try out the trench! It's so nice to have something other than a kid-like slicker that lets the water roll right off. Love it! I also meant to say that I can't button the Gibson jacket -- it pulls too much. But it sounds like it looks OK open. </p> <p>When I tried those three pieces on together at the store, it instantly felt like "me". Last night, I asked my husband if there's a style or type of outfit that I wear that he likes. He said he liked what I was wearing, which was the same formula as the new outfit -- red pants, looser/flowy top, fitted denim jacket. I'm getting closer to defining my style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-did-it-again-scissors-and-shopping#post-747603 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 03:58:25 +0000 MNsara 747603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh you are ADORABLE! So gamine, and Fern is right about the Audrey Tatou similiarities You should just do your own hair from now on! (My sister with curly hair does her own - and she says she uses a mirror to cut the back!)</p> <p>I'm really loving that trench on you - it has a classic but saucy vibe. The pants, jacket, and animal top are great too. What a successful shopping trip!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-did-it-again-scissors-and-shopping#post-747568 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 02:33:08 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 747568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 'do too! Very fresh, pretty and feminine. I have that trench in black and love it! It's waterproof and windproof and yet not gear-like, which makes it perfect in my book. Hope you like it as much as I do. The blazer is a fab find too. You're glowing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-did-it-again-scissors-and-shopping#post-747564 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 02:29:53 +0000 tarzy 747564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How much do you charge?

Reminds me of Audrey Tautou as well! You have a lovely face and the hair suits you well.</p> <p>Definitely love the jacket as well. Very chic and goes with your chic hair. Good job on the cut! The blazer is perfect too, they're all things I'd love to have, they make everything look more polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-did-it-again-scissors-and-shopping#post-747500 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 00:03:13 +0000 Suz 747500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are SO pretty!! I adore your new hairdo. It emphasizes your gorgeous eyes and gives you a gamine charm. </p> <p>I also ADORE each and every one of your purchases. You are looking svelte, strong, and fantastic in these clothes! Wow, a trench is such a fab classic, esp. when it shows a waist like yours! And WOW again to the subtle curves of that Gibson jacket. These are superb purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-did-it-again-scissors-and-shopping#post-747455 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 23:21:37 +0000 fern 747455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hair!

Great haul with the clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-did-it-again-scissors-and-shopping#post-747411 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 22:12:50 +0000 merwoman 747411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the "do" PG! So spunky and fresh looking - highlights your beautiful face; you have such gorgeous eyes.<br /> What a haul - I'm not a trench lover personally - but yours is very classy. Nice investment. I do love your Gibson blazer, panst and shirt - both looks (tucked in boots or over shoes) are fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-did-it-again-scissors-and-shopping#post-747368 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 20:44:21 +0000 pastrygirl 747368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two things I need to stay away from: scissors and shopping! Some of you might remember that I gave myself bangs a few months ago and have continued to love them (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-inspired-haircut" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ed-haircut</a>). I've had a hard time with the rest of my hair, though. I get it cut professionally, love it for a week, then start to feel like a wookie. This went on for a couple of months and I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with my hair. Yesterday was the last straw and I grabbed the scissors... and for the first time ever, I slightly regret a haircut! I want something funky and light. My hair is SO top heavy that it's easy to look shaggy instead of chic. I think it looks better in person, but the first pic is a closeup of the new 'do.</p> <p>A few days ago in a downpour, I realized I really need a new trench coat that I can actually close. I've just gained too much weight to zip up my current one, which I got a size smaller than usual because it was on sale a few years ago. My husband OK'd the purchase of a trench, so for once in my life, I wasn't looking at prices -- only fit! Pic 2 and 3 is what I found today at Nordstrom. LOVE IT. I fit into the L but it was a bit tighter with a blazer underneath, so I went with the XL. It's roomy but I don't think it looks huge.</p> <p>And, because Nordstrom Rack is right across the street from Nordstrom, I "had" to go check it out. After rearranging my closet and removing 1/3 of the items, I realized I really needed black pants and a casual blazer. I found one of the Gibson blazers, which I've always wanted. Black ponte pants that scrunch pleasantly at the ankle. And a bonus, this not-in-your-face animal print blouse. I also found a dark reddish-pinkish button-up but I forgot to take pics of that one. Tried the new outfit with shoes and boots. I like both looks! Those studded Frye boots are an absolute favorite of mine -- I wear them almost every day! SO COMFY. </p>
