Thank you for your support, and commiseration! And idea - I think I will do a photo tour of my town's main street. I have been here so long I have forgotten how different it is . suntiger - Thank you for giving me the idea . Preppy Pear - Thank you for understanding. Some days my shorter side more resembles and ear muff, which is worse than triangle head! Christina F. - Relaxed elegance is pretty much the dream for me - thanks! And yes, I need control aaaaaaaarrrrrrggghh! nemosmom - Yes, thank you my nut store appreciation is validated! lisa p - Thank you! I had to battle myself not to go to the scissors. It was not easy. Laurie - I know, all travel seems so long ago, doesn't it? Suz - blushing and thank you! CarolS - Me and my hair are very flattered :)  Roxanna - We could be on the journey to symmetry triplets with Angie. Totally know you feel obviously! Jaileen - I have been to Turkey once a very long time ago. I think they have better treats though. Becky - Thank you and yes it is a handful. karen13 - Thank you so much! kkards - Glad to hear my disguise is working . Firecracker - you hit the nail on the head. It doesn't look intentional to me and also not architectural enough. Glad others see it differently. I do think my style is being honed to its essentials on the bright side. Phoebe - Thank you! I like how you put that :)  Celia - Thank you! Yes, I have to fight my nut hoarding instincts. I am a squirrel at heart. hereforthecake - Thank you - you understood exactly. Xtabay - I like the sound of your dream tee! Roasted nuts taste and smell so good! Runcarla - I know what you mean. It is hard to plan when we don't know what will happen and when isn't it? avicennia - You understand. Thank you! Angie - :)  avicennia on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115919 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 00:17:55 +0000 avicennia 2115919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this outfit — it’s elegant and relaxed. I’m particular about my hairstyle, so I understand your concerns, but honestly it looks great! Carla on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115884 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 20:51:29 +0000 Carla 2115884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The colours in the outfit are lovely, and hair looks good too.  I alternate between wanting to go back to my favoured style or trying something different - when salons open up again.  Due to being ready for a haircut when SAH orders were put in place, my hair is at least 2 inches longer then my preferred length ATM.  I’m due new photo ID’s in the fall - good for 5 years.  I want to look good when it’s time for the photos!

I might have to find a tee that says "Virus hair, don't care!"  I'm so mad at it right now!   Wish we had a nut store nearby, I'd love some freshly roasted pistachios right about now... Angie on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115853 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:39:06 +0000 Angie 2115853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It took a WORLD PANDEMIC for us to grow out our hair, Jaime. That's nuts too :) hereforthecake on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115840 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:18:51 +0000 hereforthecake 2115840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think that because (obviously) you know how your hair is supposed to look, it looks overgrown to you. But honestly, it just looks like a great asymmetrical cut to everyone else!  I'm always impressed by your style!   celia on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115833 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:07:18 +0000 celia 2115833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perfect outfit , for going to the nut store and more. I like how the colors work with your complexion and hair color. I echo the others that your hair looks healthy and beautiful but understand how you are feeling. I currently have a growing bangs issue.... Regarding nuts, I have been hiding our reserves because I know that the moment the bags are open they won't last a day.  Anonymous on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115831 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 17:57:56 +0000 Anonymous 2115831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a pretty outfit and such an interesting color transition from your hair to the brown pants! Firecracker (Sharan) on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115816 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 17:25:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2115816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>I love this outift! I'm so used to seeing you in black-based outfits, I find this brown just stunning on you! Very cute pants and top styles, too. I would steal this outfit. In fact, I think I have something similar in my closet--haha! I think your hair is growing out nicely. I expected the asymmetry to look out of place once it got longer, so I am surprised to see it still looks good. Asymmetry at a different length, but still intentional and chic. I could envision a short bob about the length of your short side now, at some point; I think it would be very flattering. </div><div>Like you, I'm reaching for old favorites that I haven't worn for a while during this nutty time. </div> kkards on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115812 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 17:11:31 +0000 kkards 2115812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, this is fab. Love the colors and how put together this outfit is. You maybe going nuts, but you don’t look nuts.   karen13 on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts/page/2#post-2115806 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 16:58:32 +0000 karen13 2115806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have the BEST hair, pandemic or no. You look wonderful in this outfit too.  Becky on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115783 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 16:13:35 +0000 Becky 2115783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. I realize that what we appreciate from afar may not be as easy to manage when you're the person who has to deal with it, though! Your outfit is fabulous. I wish we had a nut shop here . . . My family eats them like they're going out of style! JAileen on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115773 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 15:34:06 +0000 JAileen 2115773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE your hair.  It’s just gorgeous.  You should do whatever you need to do, as long as you still have curls.  <div> </div><div>We don’t have nut stores here.  When we visited Istanbul, we went to the Grand Bazaar and saw shops with beautiful spices, nuts, Turkish Delight, plus everything else.  </div> Roxanna on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115767 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 15:18:06 +0000 Roxanna 2115767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I so sympathize with your hair woes! Mine is growing out too. I want to get my husband to shave one side but I am scared to after the mess I made of his hair! Maybe I’ll grow it out like you... CarolS on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115757 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 14:40:22 +0000 CarolS 2115757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You, and your hair, look utterly FAB!

Just glowing....I hear you on the hair, but it still works, and the pants and top are downright elegant.  Laurie on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115754 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 14:35:51 +0000 Laurie 2115754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look lovely, and I am so excited to see the many new YLF hair styles that will evolve out of this situation!  I can envision your nut and spice store....seems like 100 years ago that we visited, not just 6 months.  Anonymous on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115753 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 14:32:45 +0000 Anonymous 2115753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous Jaime!  Love the brown pants on you = such a great fit. And as for the hair ?  Yeah, you've got a lot of it, but it works - and I like Joy's idea of a headscarf. You'd really rock that look while waiting for a cut.  I like the idea of a symmetrical cut for you too  - think it will be a nice change.  My hair is making me nuts too. I have no idea how to style it so I keep cutting it, which is not helping . nemosmom on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115750 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 14:27:57 +0000 nemosmom 2115750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>Love this color combo on you and I personally think your hair is amazing.  Curls can be a bit more forgiving when growing it out, but I can sympathize with the frustration! </div><div> </div><div>You are SO lucky to have nuts (and spices) so close to home!  I am a big fan of walnuts in pesto instead of pine nuts. So yummy! </div> Christina F. on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115739 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 13:36:17 +0000 Christina F. 2115739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great. "Relaxed elegance" is dead on. I think your hair length suits you, but I know it's hard for us to be in less control of our hair right now. Takes getting used to... Preppy Pear on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115736 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 13:29:37 +0000 Preppy Pear 2115736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hair really does look good! But I understand the feeling. Just know that it still looks dazzling in photos. Hope you’re doing better. So many reasons to be down right now - it’s hard. I don’t have an asymmetrical cut, but I’m right there with Janet on triangle head!

It is so nice to read your supportive comments right now. kellygirl - Thanks for the hair support. I think the short side looks a bit weird at this length, but it grows, right? slim cat - thank you. I'm hanging taylor, there really is no other choice! Joy - I am waiting to see you as Jackie ! Bijou - What it is really taking is a lot of product. The longer it gets the more product it needs not to look dried out. And the short side often looks like an earmuff! rachylou - Aw shucks, and thanks! Zaeobi - Thank you! Sal - Nuts are great aren't they?  Mainelady - Thank you! I was trying to convince myself too. jussie - Circumstances have made it easy to decide. suntiger - Yes, it is funny how many nut stores, bakeries, cobblers, tailors, and other small businesses can exist in one town. Brooklyn - Great idea! lyn67 - Thank you! torontogirl - It is more of an cool olive brown I think, but I am glad it works! Angie - Thank you! Yes, I had never thought of pandemic as potential reason to grow out my hair, but here we are! Janet I hear you about the hair frustrations!  jasmine Thank you so much! jasmine on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115726 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:44:58 +0000 jasmine 2115726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a gorgeous, luxe combination of colors, and I think your hair looks wonderful too. Janet on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115725 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:43:02 +0000 Janet 2115725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, you look great! I am with you on probably letting my asymmetric cut even out a bit for the time being, while I ride out this time. I may snip away at my longer layers to help control any end damage. And it figures, last time I got my hair cut, we left the layers a little longer, so now they’re really long and I’m getting triangle head. Ugh. Helena on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115710 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 11:49:02 +0000 Helena 2115710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look gorgeous Shevia! Huge hugs to you for whatever's going on; lots of love xx Kelly is definitely describe this as a cool brown ... Bitter chocolate as opposed to creamy. It's through to find but SO beautiful on cool toned skin when one does! lyn67 on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115704 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 11:42:34 +0000 lyn67 2115704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I get going nuts after real nuts and more (...pandemia, too...) and the color scheme is also nutty-love it! And about hair??? No matter if it needs  a cut or you're growing it out your hair is always  fab, Shevia! Brooklyn on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115702 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 11:35:56 +0000 Brooklyn 2115702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hopefully we will all be better prepared for the next pandemic. I think your hair still looks fabo. You could try some sort of ornate hair clip (pearls?) in the short side if you dislike the way it’s growing out. Your outfit is fab too. Stay strong!

I need to live near you! DH have eaten a metric c-ton of cashews especially in the last month or 2 :) Love that color combo, and agreed that your hair still looks nice! But yes to a bob- at least as long as quarantine potential is high. jussie on "WIW - going nuts" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---going-nuts#post-2115689 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 10:09:48 +0000 jussie 2115689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great here, and I rather like your hair how it is! But sometimes we just need a change don't we?
