I like the new hair, as much as I liked it long. That shirt in #2 is awesome, and I like the menswear pink shirt too. And your kitty is adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2165313 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 12:50:15 +0000 Bijou 2165313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the haircut (glad you did not go super short, you have stunning hair) and the vintage shirt is wonderful and a great pattern on you. There will be more shirts, it is worth waiting for the right shirt to show up too many times I have settled with something almost right only to find a few weeks later the perfect item I would have preferred to own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2165188 Tue, 12 Jan 2021 20:30:04 +0000 Style Fan 2165188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new hair.&nbsp; Looks edgy.&nbsp; The lilac is a great colour for you and is an interesting contrast to the black.<br />Sweet kitty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164959 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 19:24:24 +0000 Jenava 2164959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!&nbsp; Glad to see you are venturing out into the world of color (cautiously and with discipline).</p> <p>I am not a fan of either shirt.&nbsp; But I might be suffering from a poison-eye for button downs these days. So take my feedback with that caveat in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164952 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 18:59:08 +0000 Greyscale 2164952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, hm, maybe you're right about the shirt! Here are full length shots (my full length mirror isn't in the best photo location). I already packaged it up to go back, but if it goes on sale later maybe I'll change my mind. But I have other men's buttoned shirts that fit much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164948 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 18:37:51 +0000 Angie 2164948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smashing haircut and adorable kitty! KILLER specs! LOVE :)</p> <p>The '70s blouse in #2 is AMAZING on you, and good lining hack on the jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote sell the too big shirt at the end, and go Team Wear with the polo!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a little navy merino polo from COS that is a workhorse in the Spring:&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164943 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 18:17:35 +0000 Suz 2164943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh -- love your hair, and your kitty! So glad you are enjoying it! I think it changes proportions a bit so you will have fun experimenting with necklines/ collars etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>Really love your Zara jacket solution and it looks fab. The 90s pattern shirt is <b>fantastic </b>on you!!&nbsp;</p> <p>The first lilac shirt looks really nice but I realize it's from a distance and you will know the fit better -- a too -narrow shirt never feels good.&nbsp;</p> <p>Second one does look large and I'm not crazy about the collar shape but since you have it now why not try to shrink it? What's the harm?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164936 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 17:52:03 +0000 Anonymous 2164936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot think of 90s as vintage either- 80s yes but not 90s! Your hair looks great and lavendar is such a good color on you! Big awwwwww to kitty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164934 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 17:37:00 +0000 kkards 2164934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, love the shorter hair! And how smart your were to pull the lining out of the blazer so that it works for you now!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164933 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 17:35:16 +0000 Greyscale 2164933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! Decided to cut the tags on the sweater and wear for my morning meeting - it's a bit chilly in my house.</p> <p>La Ped, yeah, the +J shirt is a men's XXS. The men's shirts are meant to be unisex but the sizes on this collection run large. If it were cheaper I might get the hem shortened because I like the color so much.</p> <p>The collection sold out so quickly, but I managed to snag a few things. I got a men's oversized white shirt that's <i></i>perfect<i>, </i>and<i></i>&nbsp;a cropped wool blazer that's turning out to be too warm for my house but could be useful if I ever leave my house again! I tried the giant down jacket but it's too warm, and the women's shirts were somehow unflattering on me. Still hoping one of the long sleeve silk jersey tops comes back into stock in my size.<br /><i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164930 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 17:01:17 +0000 catherine 2164930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking very good. Just the right mix of edgy and professorial. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164923 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 15:36:12 +0000 nuancedream 2164923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Love the hair! After going 18 weeks without a haircut last year, I changed up my hair style with more length on the top and vey close cropped sides for an edgier sharp/soft look. Wish I had done that sooner. Definitely keep the men's sweater in #4...looks fab on you. Also, your cat is so cute!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164922 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 15:20:06 +0000 Carla 2164922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hair looks great! &nbsp;I agree with shevia - that the new length accentuates the undercut side. &nbsp;It looks long enough that you can still put it up or do braiding techniques, if you wanted too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164918 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 14:41:18 +0000 lyn67 2164918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love short(er) hair&amp; you always are the epitome of an edgy girl for me-not less here- great print on the top in nr 2, and I have done the happy cutting out the&nbsp; lining on one of my blazers, too! Just unfortunatelly cannot make a decision on the 5-6 myself, but love the color and the cutlength of nr 5, more-but don't listen, you have to like it yourself!&nbsp; Then, you really had me with the nr 7 and peek in your modern monochromatic home, too!:-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164915 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 14:29:26 +0000 Helena 2164915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks awesome!</p> <p>I vote keep for #4 ... I love this look. YLF in all of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164910 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 14:10:38 +0000 LaPed 2164910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks fantastic! And so does big-eyed Bonus Kitty. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>The Uniqlo +J collection has some great stuff. Is that the smallest size available for the shirt? I hope you're able to find the perfect lavender shirt, because it's such a pretty colour. (LL Bean of all places has an awesome "<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.llbean.com/llb/search/?freeText=lavender&amp;init=1">vintage lavender</a>" colour this season, which I keep looking at as an accent colour for outdoor gear, because I like the way it looks with olives, khakis, and dark grey/black.)</p> <p>I think the polo looks great on you, and I am not a fan of polos in general.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164906 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 13:42:24 +0000 RobinF 2164906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the haircut, great length. I like all of these but the last shirt does look too big. Maybe the shrinking thing will work. I say keep the mens sweater. Looks great.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164905 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 13:39:35 +0000 Liesbeth 2164905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4 with the jeans and don't see it making you wider... 2 is my favorite as you pull of graphic patterns so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164897 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 10:33:18 +0000 Minaminu 2164897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab haircut and adorable kitty!

Beautiful cut, very dramatic. I am impressed you are able to cut your own hair...<br /> I like all your outfits, especially the vintage shirt. Where are these jeans from?<br /> Too bad the first lilac shirt was too long - It looks beautifully made. I have trouble finding shirts long enough, I should start checking men's departments as you did. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164870 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 03:47:43 +0000 slim cat 2164870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something in the photo #1 reminds me of a painting from XVIII century - or something like that. You look amazing there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164869 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 03:45:35 +0000 slim cat 2164869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hair and the new haircut - fab! The black jeans in #2 and #4 look great on you - slightly slouchy and very modern/stylish.<br />I like the shirt in #2, the black top in #4 and fun jacket in #3 - thumbs up! I feel the same way about polyester lining ( only ok in the coldest months ).<br />Lilac looks very nice on you - shirt in #5 almost works ( not sure about #6 - fabrication? ).<br />Bonus - kitty! Mine loves to do the same thing with packaging and boxes ( fav toy ).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164866 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 03:36:05 +0000 Jaime 2164866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks smashing. The shorter length makes the juxtaposition with the shaved side even more emphatic somehow. Your "vintage" top is great. Yes, I also get confused calling 90s vintage - but even moreso the early aughts. I like the sweater in #4 fwiw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patterns-color-texture-short-hair#post-2164863 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 03:29:05 +0000 Greyscale 2164863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been mixing more pale colors, patterns, and texture into my outfits recently. Still mostly all black though!</p> <p>Photo 1: I cut my hair! First time in my life with short hair! I did it myself this fall. I only get my hair cut once a year normally, so I wasn't too concerned when salons closed in March. But for some reason the bug got to me and I chopped it all off. I like it.</p> <p>Photo 2:&nbsp; I found this silk shirt on Poshmark, labeled as vintage. It was probably sold in the late 90s when I was in college -- I have trouble thinking of that as vintage!</p> <p>Photo 3: I pulled out this tweed jacket for an important Zoom meeting. I bought it at Zara four years ago but only wore it twice because it was too warm and sweaty. I finally realized that it might be better without the synthetic lining, since the jacket itself is mostly cotton. So I cut out the lining last week and wore it comfortably all day!</p> <p>Photo 4 - Keep / return:&nbsp;I want a lightweight sweater, and I was especially taken by the oversized polo-neck sweaters I've seen this season. I found a few in cashmere, which is too warm for me, but none in merino. Then I saw a woman wearing this Everlane men's sweater and decided to give it a try. I'm not sure it's best with these jeans -- I love them but they make me look wider -- but the oversized look is basically what I was going for.</p> <p>Photos 5 &amp; 6: Finally, here are two lilac shirts, neither quite a winner, but I love the color so I thought I'd show them anyway. The first is a men's shirt from Uniqlo's +J re-launch (wheeeeeeee!) and it's just a little too long and narrow for the look I want, so it's going back. A shame, because it's absolutely beautiful tailoring and fabric, a subtle purple stripe. The second is a Zara shirt that is a size too big. I have the same shirt a size smaller in pale green, and it's perfect (though low quality construction). I missed the return window already, so the debate is, sell it new on Poshmark or cut the tags, wash it, and hope it shrinks as much as the green one did.</p> <p>Photo 7: Bonus cat, excited about my clothing purchases -- or at least their packaging. </p>
