So many women (and men) are anemic and don't realize it. The simple tests they normally do a a yearly exam only show the&nbsp; level of iron in your bloodstream at that specific time. Eating red meat or other iron rich food before the test will show a much higher level than the person actually may have!&nbsp; The "Ferritin" test (and a few others) are the only way to really know how low your iron may be. Low thyroid is another cause for hair loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895336 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 14:22:00 +0000 viva 1895336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry to hear about your nutrition problems and how they are affecting your hair. I'm glad you have someone helping you with the hair side (and also I hope with the nutrition side so that you are healthier generally). I smile when you talk about "hair movement" because honestly I don't really even know what that feels like, as I have had short hair for SO LONG. But your bob right now is just amazingly chic and there is movement in the pictures, so I am sure you are conveying movement even if you don't feel it. And chicness to an amazing degree. This length is so flattering on you. I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895334 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 14:16:40 +0000 Scarlet 1895334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wowed. Good for you. I also think your hair looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895309 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 13:23:04 +0000 Kathie 1895309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 5,7,9. The slightly longer jackets in 5 and 7 work better with the jeans. 7 is sharp and professional. I don’t wear skinny jeans myself, so really can’t comment on the fit. I’d try longer tops with them, for the long over lean look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895295 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 12:17:08 +0000 krishnidoux 1895295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b>, <b>Texstyle</b>, <b>smittie</b>, <b>La Ped</b>, <b>Sara</b>, <b>Suz</b>, <b>Mainelady</b>, <b>Angie</b>, <b>salt</b>-<b>sea</b>, <b>Firecracker</b>, <b>Unfrumped&nbsp;</b>thank you!<br /><b>Rach</b>, thank you for lending me your eye: now the correct proportion is all I see! I think I'll leave the shorter jacket (3) for wider bottoms. <b>Jussie</b>, I think you may have seen the same thing too.<br /><b>Cardiff</b> <b>girl</b>, that is such good insight! Great advice. I will certainly think of this next time I put something together. You are right on.<br /><b>Olen</b>, <b>Lisa</b> and <b>Shevia</b>: Thank you for your honest feedback and opinion. It is most helpful.&nbsp;<br /><b>Viva</b>, thank you! But I have to confide that I have been battling with&nbsp; personnal probelm: hairloss, due to anemia due to nutrients deficiency after years of under-eating. Two years ago, I started a medicated product regimen, plus I changed my eating habits, and now I have hair of all lengths on my head. Thankfully, I found an excellent (really excellent) stylist - actually recommended by a member on this forum! I asked him for a <i>blunt bob</i>. He warned me it would be much shorter than I expected because of the different lengths. He did a wonderful job. So the bob looks like such, when brushed forward, but sadly it doesn't move like a bob. I try to make do and experiment with various styling, pushing it back, since the shorter strands hold the rest in position. Yet, I really hope this will not be permanent because I miss hair movement. Anyway I'm sure you didn't expect your comment to produce such a long reply. Thank you for your kind words. They really come at a good time for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895284 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 11:33:20 +0000 krishnidoux 1895284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Firecracker</b>, if you have Netflix then I recommend the serie "Grace and Frankie" plyed by Jane Fonda and Lili Tomlin. Below is a picture of Fonda as super prim and preppy Grace and her signature popped collar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895237 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 06:11:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1895237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your attitude about this milestone birthday and how you are conveying your confidence in these outfits. You look great in the high-waisted skinnies. I prefer looks 5 and 7 for teaching. To me, the outfit in 3-4 is less professional looking, and I think it's because of the combination of a kind of skimpy top (even under a blazer, it's a little low-cut) and the body-con jeans. I have to admit I do like the laces tucked (even though I routinely wear mine with bows--haha!). In 5 and 7, you have a more modest top, plus the professional looking jackets and shoes to offset the body-con jeans. So perhaps my personal take on attire for teaching is to tip the scale more toward modest, while allowing for some body-conscious elements in the outfit. I really like your outfits in 9-10 even though I'm not up on the specific Jane Fonda reference. You have a bit of star quality in that white shirt with popped collar, and the classic, feminine nude pumps with the skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895221 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 04:37:48 +0000 Jaime 1895221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 5 and 7, and would wear less tight jeans for teaching I think. I am a bit prudish though . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895201 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 03:12:42 +0000 unfrumped 1895201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like5,7,9 and 10 best.<br /> I think the yoga jeans are a little tight fit my preferences BUT I think you look great in the high- waisted style. I couldn’t even begin to make that work for me, but you do it well. If I were you( well, that’s kind of beside the point!) I would keep going for that style and these stylings but also look for a teensy bit more ease in next pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895194 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 02:36:16 +0000 salt-sea 1895194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 9, 7, 5, in that order. While you look great in ALL of them, of the jacketed ones, my eye prefers the way the jacket hits you + waist + outfit contrast in 7 &amp; 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895148 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 23:39:40 +0000 Angie 1895148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Bad-Arse styling here is gorgeous, <b>Krish</b>. The high waisted jegging is THE most popular style of jeans with younger folk here in Seattle, and in the Netherlands.

I really like the different ways you’ve styled these jeans.... super badass :). The only one I’m am not in love with is number 3 with the sneakers, I think it’s just a combo of the sneakers and that particular jacket that’s not as magical as the other looks. All the others get my tick of approval. Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895051 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 19:57:17 +0000 Olen 1895051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, the jeans would look great with untucked tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895038 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 19:38:48 +0000 Cardiff girl 1895038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5,7 and 9 are my favourites,I think it’s to do with proportions and a certain softness to counter act the edginess.I don’t think all edge is you ,you look too ethereal for that so temper the hardness in an outfit with something softer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895030 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 19:29:43 +0000 rachylou 1895030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about the sneaker lacing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895025 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 19:23:11 +0000 viva 1895025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will chime in later on the clothing but I just want to say, or perhaps scream: I WANT YOUR HAIR.

And your legs are a thousand miles long in those jeans!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the jeans with the pointed flats a lot. Glad you found a use for those shoes. They will be great in spring. The grey looks really good with the pinkish red boots, too. And wow -- do you ever have an amazing footwear collection!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the juxtaposition of the dressy jacket, shell, and shoes with the legging-type skinny in 7.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-badass-style-direction-i-want-to-take#post-1895010 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 19:01:00 +0000 Sara L. 1895010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun style direction and I like all the outfits you've put together.

Me too, I am initially a little on the fence but I decided to plunge and try. The jeans are very close to the skin but they are not leggings nor yoga pants: it's just the name of the brand. As for the laces: you are correct. I have a hunch that no bow is more current, but not sure.&nbsp; </p>
