I think it's great when that happens.</p> <p>Thanks Alasse!</p> <p>Thanks Amy! What version of Kaffee &amp; Kuchen do you know? I just like coffee full stop, and I mean real coffee - not that sweetened caramel whatever stuff. When it's cold outside and you're tired there's nothing better IMO. And then some great cake (no tartes or fancy cakes - nothing too sugary) as a complement to the coffee! It's just a part of our culinary culture, I guess.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118995 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 19:15:25 +0000 minimalist 1118995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new cut!</p> <p>(Maybe you can explain the kaffee &amp; kuchen thing to me. There's a version of it where I'm originally from, and I never understood its charm nor the cheer many derive from it.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118990 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 19:10:53 +0000 Alassë 1118990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118964 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:42:30 +0000 catgirl 1118964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you doubled up! I am this way with my Joie tunic sweaters - I could wear them daily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118962 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:42:17 +0000 Anonymous 1118962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks lovely Astrid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118957 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:40:11 +0000 Astrid 1118957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brenda. I don't really have curls though, only waves. Just a bit layering can look very good with my hair, but too much and it's chaos - it's easy to do the wrong thing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118940 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:25:35 +0000 qfbrenda 1118940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute!&nbsp; It's funny... I've heard several times about how curly girls should always have layers but you are looking just fine with one length.&nbsp; I've wondered about doing the same with mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118828 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:03:35 +0000 Astrid 1118828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane and Aubergine! I've taken some pics of the haircut, shown below. It's pretty much one length right now (like the shortest layer of the bad cut). The plan is to adjust this bit by bit so it's longer in front and shorter in the back. We'll see how it goes. I'm very happy to have it shorter again, it's more manageable this way and still looks good today after sleeping on it once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118739 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:20:13 +0000 Anonymous 1118739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! Those boots really seem to fit well into your wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118733 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 12:58:14 +0000 Anonymous 1118733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the proportions in this Astrid. The textures and patterns are lovely too. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118685 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:58:55 +0000 Astrid 1118685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! And yes it went well, I'm so glad I finally found a good hair stylist that doesn't experiment on my hair and is affordable. Now the last remaining layers of that bad cut are history. </p> <p>What kind of cut will you go for?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118678 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:48:10 +0000 E 1118678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love it! Hope your hair cut went well. I'll be getting one soon too, after my sister's wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118674 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:20:37 +0000 Astrid 1118674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mochi! And yes, as much fabness as possible is a good thing - you can't eat "Kaffee und Kuchen" ALL the time. I do like the city in spring and summer, but Berlin fall and winter is depressing for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118244 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:35:52 +0000 Mochi 1118244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not seen many of your recent posts, Astrid, and it seems like you've tweaked your style just a bit, but with stupendous results.&nbsp;You look amazing. The scarf is such a wonderful touch, and draws the eye upward to your adorable face. I guess you have to combat the Berlin winter with as much fabness as possible (along with the kaffe und kuchen).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118084 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:56:36 +0000 Astrid 1118084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah!</p> <p>Thanks Karie! Good idea to make a pattern out of one of them, when they work so well for you.</p> <p>Thanks Scarlet! Team wear for sure, although not every new thing is as well loved.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1118010 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:02:24 +0000 Scarlet 1118010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great pullover and I am glad you are enjoying the boots too. Great look. I tend to go through a love affair with every new thing I buy Definitely team wear over here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1117966 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:04:13 +0000 Karie 1117966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, I love the skirt! And the answer is yes, it's my cigarette pants from JCP - I have had them for 4 yrs. now.&nbsp;I wore them constantly the first year (one pair each in black, blue, and brown) and the second year I saw them&nbsp;on deep sale, so I purchased duplicate pairs (now two each in black, blue, and brown)! One of these days I'm going to take one pair apart and use it as a pattern to make more. Haven't tired of them yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1117964 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:01:44 +0000 Deborah 1117964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab outfit. &nbsp;Astrid you look gorgeous. &nbsp;Love that skirt on you and those sweater is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---variation-on-a-theme#post-1117955 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 09:26:36 +0000 Astrid 1117955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Inge!
