If love you see a photo of you in that jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2152833 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 21:02:08 +0000 Greyscale 2152833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater vest arrived and I love it! Rare case of noticing a trend as it starts, then finding a nice mid-priced version before it sells out! It's my first purchase from &amp; Other Stories and even though they're part of H&amp;M, their quality seems quite good and they don't make an endless stream of disposable fast fashion. I think they'll become a new standard place for me to browse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151164 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 14:52:57 +0000 nemosmom 2151164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new chucks are super cool! Good on you for putting effort into looking put together on Zoom, too! All of these pieces look great for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151066 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 23:30:21 +0000 Angie 2151066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Greyscale</b>, I don't wear blazers at home either! But I do when I'm out and about, and under coats&nbsp; - (urban walking lifestyle, have a doggie to walk, and no driving ..... so outside a lot). I wear other dressy items at home though :)</p> <p>Excited to see your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151053 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 20:38:37 +0000 Greyscale 2151053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok everyone, now I have above-shoulder hair for the first time in my life! I'll wait for it to dry to see how long it is when fully curly, then maybe work towards chin length. </p> <p>It was fun! </p> <p>And honestly I like the blunt chopped off look. My previous pandemic haircut was carefully layered and I tapered each curl (easy to do when dry). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151042 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 18:34:05 +0000 cat2 2151042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually did chop my long hair into a bob myself. I felt like a Flapper Girl in a 20s novel. I first followed You Tube instructions to get to even collar bone length and then after a pause of a couple of weeks to make sure that wasn’t a disaster carefully trimmed from there. Make sure you have real salon scissors, and a good mirror for checking out the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151028 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 17:08:33 +0000 Greyscale 2151028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, yes, and I’ve gotten good at trimming the undercut myself. And I’ve done a few DIY touchups to the rest of my hair too. I am so, so tempted to cut off my long hair into a chin length bob and see what happens but it’s a hard DIY. </p> <p>My salon just reopened but my hair stylist chose not to come back so I’ll have to find someone new to fix it if I create a disaster! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151025 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 17:00:49 +0000 Greyscale 2151025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Better images of the muscle tee and vest. The tee is a copy of this Frankie Shop tee and now it seems like every store makes one! Its shoulder pads are huge but I’ve always liked big shoulders. </p> <p><a href="https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/frankie-shop/eva-cotton-jersey-tank/1243128" rel="nofollow">https://www.net-a-porter.com/e.....nk/1243128</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151022 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 16:51:44 +0000 Greyscale 2151022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, of course, Angie - but they’d be a poor choice for me personally because I know I would never wear them indoors! But if I go for a walk today, I might wear my favorite oversized blazer now that it’s crisp fall weather. Blazers don’t work well for me sitting at my desk, so even in normal times they’d come off when I got to my office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151016 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 16:39:45 +0000 Angie 2151016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I don’t think it’s absurd to buy anything dressy.

They will stand you good stead post COVID too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151012 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 16:17:22 +0000 Carla 2151012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These items look very authentic to your style, Greyscale. &nbsp;I think the padded shoulder tank is pretty cool, actually. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Are you still sporting your signature undercut?&nbsp;<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2151010 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 15:59:42 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2151010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what color vest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2150944 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 11:43:21 +0000 Lynne 2150944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you can soon take them out to play! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2150941 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 11:31:52 +0000 Star (Lise) 2150941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fabulous pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pandemic-rebound-shopping-per-roxana#post-2150916 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 07:12:39 +0000 Greyscale 2150916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roxanna's post about rebound shopping resonated. (This is a partial repost of my comment on that post.) I find myself craving something more dramatic than my work-from-home uniform, to remind me that the world still exists out there.&nbsp; </p> <p>I don't need anything - it's absurd to buy anything dressy - but I'm itching to try out new blazers, shoes, all the things that are impractical for my new work-from-home life. I always get the shopping itch in the fall.&nbsp;It's more intense now after 6 months of no shopping, but I'm still not going to stores, and I'm reluctant to order much online, so I'm keeping myself in check.</p> <p>I did buy a few trendy things to liven things up: crazy Converse that I love, the padded shoulder muscle tee that all the bloggers wear, and a cable knit sweater vest. They're all practical enough: the Converse fill a real need for comfortable walking shoes (the only time I leave the house now), the muscle tee is ridiculous but easy enough to wear on walks to the park, and the sweater vest (not yet arrived) might be a good weight for sitting at home on zoom. </p> <p>I also bought a few more oversized button down shirts over the past few months, since I sit on zoom all day and want to look professional yet cool. T-shirts were my default in the before times, as part of an overall outfit, but when people only see my top I want it to look more polished.</p> <p>Now I need to come up with some way to <i>enjoy</i> my new clothes. I've been putting more effort into my daily zoom outfits. And after months of only walking in the quiet parts of my neighborhood, I've decided to roam the trendy outdoor restaurant area, even though it's a bit too packed with people. So it finally feels worth wearing something interesting again! </p>
