I really like 3/4 too. And very impressive cutting your own hair. Could it be a humidity thing? Mine is much flatter in low humidity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1636510 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 03:30:14 +0000 annagybe 1636510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3-4, surprisingly. I think the pointy toe metallic sneakers make it work.<br /> I don't have a lot of grey, but it is wirey, so I'm not sure how I'll be able to style it when there's more. Currently I'm coloring my way through denial </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1636219 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 13:16:58 +0000 Anonymous 1636219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of the outfits are terrific.

It does tend towards being dry and it is very thick and coarse. It sounds like you're going to figure yours out - I never thought of hormonal changes affecting it, since it seems to be more affected the more it turns, but that is a good thought. (especially since I'm not sure where I'm at with the whole mp thing and will be hitting a "milestone for me" this year)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1636204 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:09:10 +0000 Helen11 1636204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both looks, and both scarves. I'm so impressed with your DIY haircut! I would never in a million years try that for myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1636100 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 02:12:32 +0000 Suz 1636100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Top twins!! (or triplets, I guess) It's a great weight for the spring weather and looks fab on you! I am enjoying mine as well with jacket and scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your hair looks lovely. I like the texture. I do think hair tends to wave more when weather is damp and it is freshly cut/ layered.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635992 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 21:18:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1635992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm even more impressed with the haircut now. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635909 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 17:05:35 +0000 Vix 1635909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Donna --</p> <p>I can't believe you DIY'd the hair in a hurry and it came out looking so good! I can't even trim the pieces in front without doing the walk of shame at my next hairdresser appointment.</p> <p>Those metallic slip-ons are so perfect for you. Also echoing the other comments about about the coral, the scarf, the life-is-too-short pants....</p> <p>Sounds like we're hair twins and YES I'm feeling like my waves are fading. </p> <p>I have a couple things going on: stopped coloring (heading for month 9), hormonal shifts (due to both surgery and nature), and changed shampoos after stopping coloring.&nbsp;I can't tell if the shampoos (I alternate between "moisture" and "for grey') are too heavy when combined with the "creamy" product I use, or if I need to change product (nooooo, I hate experimenting) or what. I'm going back to my old "for color" shampoo to see if that helps.</p> <p>Waves *do* need moisture -- just not too much, grrrrr -- so maybe yours are a bit dry and rebelling by straightening. If you solve it let me know, ha -- but at least yours looks good now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635905 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 16:50:11 +0000 MTBGirl 1635905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>kerry</b>! You are too kind! I hope yours works out too! My whites used to stick straight up too in the beginning for awhile but no so much anymore.&nbsp;<br />Thank you&nbsp;<b>kkards</b>! I keep a ruana under my desk and sometimes even use it as a blanket on my legs when our heat won't kick on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635857 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 13:47:03 +0000 kkards 1635857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gosh….i love the olive pant/white tee oufit….i agree with shevia re cuffing the pants….and i hear you on the hot/cold office, my office runs the same way. i've found, long sleeve tee's help (easier to push up the sleeve then when the temp rises) and i use my scarfs more as shawls. (i have one that i leave at my desk, just in case) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635849 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 13:26:57 +0000 kerry 1635849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your lemming on you! I have the same one on my way to me. I hope it looks half as good on me as it does you. I have no help with the greys/wave situation. My hair is pin straight (how I'd love some wave and body). I'm starting to get greys at my part and all they want to do is stick straight up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635848 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 13:21:37 +0000 MTBGirl 1635848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>kellygirl</b>! It's not so much the look of the creases I think, but how they felt too sloppy. If my hair gets any coarser it won't be hair!<br />Thanks <b>JAileen</b>! Your hairs sounds neat - that's how mine is turning also, mostly in the front. Keeping up with it does seem to be the ticket.<br />Thanks <b>Nebraskim!</b> I've done that too after purging something. The whites seem to have minds of their own don't they?<br />Thanks <b>Aquamarine</b>! I don't know if boatnecks do me any favors either, but I did wear a scarf with it both times. Would that be an option for you? It is great quality. I don't really use hair products much except for hair spray. Sometimes I use a little gel. I tried a root lifter and tossed it. I just couldn't take the feel of it! My hair is very thick.<br />Thanks&nbsp;<b>Aliona</b>! That's interesting that your hair didn't change in any way.<br />Thank you <b>rachylou</b> and <b>Sheila</b>!<br />Thanks&nbsp;<b>Elizabeth P</b>! I really wanted a navy scarf and didn't realize with how much I would wear it! Fingers crossed for you! I ordered the top in the fresh apricot color as well!<br />Thank you&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>!<br />Thanks&nbsp;<b>shevia</b>! It's funny you mention cuffing the pants... they have a button and strap to do just that! My hair also waves more further down. Then when it gets to a certain length it seemsthe weight of it pulls it down.<br />Thanks&nbsp;<b>Sharan</b>! I like your take on it! I think the top bothered me so much because I tucked it and it wasn't stiff enough to not be fussy and clingy. Interestingly the pants don't bother me when I wear them at home. Yes I did cut my hair myself!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635771 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 03:06:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1635771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit is stunning on you. I love the coral jacket over it--wow, what a great color combo! I think the second outfit is adorable, too, but here's my take: life is too short to wear clothes that you can't wait to rip off at the end of a day! I would set both pieces aside in a holding zone for donation. If you have a change of heart and want to try them again, perhaps with different other pieces, then give them another try. Otherwise, let them go. The haircut is cute. Did you literally do it yourself?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635764 Sun, 27 Mar 2016 02:48:45 +0000 Jaime 1635764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are good. I think the second one would also work well if you cuffed the pants. My hair is as wavy/curly as ever if not more so now, but my wave starts down a bit so the very short parts are straighter. It is also temperamental and heavily weather reactive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635716 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 23:40:25 +0000 Angie 1635716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorter 'do. Nice textural addition to your outfits. You have fab salt 'n pepper hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both outfits are super cute, and you wear them well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635671 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 21:09:15 +0000 Elizabeth P 1635671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look!&nbsp; I also really like that blue scarf.</p> <p>I have that top coming to me as well... was hesitant when I first saw it because of the neckline, but it recently went on deep discount so I couldn't resist at least trying.&nbsp; Fingers crossed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635667 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 20:56:18 +0000 Sheila 1635667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love the striped top ! It really suits you !</p> <p></p> <p>The other outfit looks great as well !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635666 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 20:52:49 +0000 rachylou 1635666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. The stripe top works so well on you. Sorry to hear the second look was yucky to wear - because it looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635662 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 20:37:33 +0000 Anonymous 1635662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the stripes with that coral topper. Fantastic on you! No advice on the greys, I'm afraid, as I have always had poker-straight hair and going grey didn't change a thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635656 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 20:15:31 +0000 Aquamarine 1635656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF---both outfits! I so wanted that striped BR top to work for me, but boat necks don't do me any favors, sigh. Very nice quality, though. </p> <p>In my experience, grey hair has no body on its own. My hair used to be able to hold most any style. Now, if I don't keep up with the coloring, my hairstyle will always go flat on top. I *never* had this problem before the greys came in. You may have to switch up your hair products. I use a root lift until I can get to my hairdresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635654 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 20:01:24 +0000 Nebraskim 1635654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic looks. I really like the salmon jacket; makes me wish I had not sent a similarly colored one I used to have to the charity shops a few years ago. </p> <p>A few of my gray hairs are very very corkscrew curly (they remind me of the springs inside of a clicktop ballpoint pen). I pluck them out and leave the straight ones. The curly ones tend to break on their own, end up with splits, etc. I'm not sure why they are are weirdly textured. The straight ones are a bit coarser than my regular brown hair. Overall the gray is giving my hair that "mouse" color.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635651 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 19:50:06 +0000 JAileen 1635651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits - both of them! </p> <p>As to hair, mine is almost completely white in front, and very short, and when it gets too long it gets limp. I get it cut every four weeks, but it doesn't look very good the last week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635646 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 19:32:22 +0000 kellygirl 1635646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits! Love the striped blouse especially. It's great alone and with the topper. So gorgeous! I am at peace with the crease so the wrinkles in the chinos don't bother me too much. Lightweight cotton tees are great for summer--that one seems like a nice fit. Maybe reserve it for weekends. As for the grey hairs--they totally change the texture of my hair and is making it coarser overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lemming-show-you-the-way#post-1635644 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 19:25:28 +0000 MTBGirl 1635644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could only get outfit pictures Monday and Friday this week.<br />Once I read Angie's description of the thought process behind her client Karen's spring/summer capsule refresher, then saw the lovely Karen in the BR striped pullover, I knew the pullover should be perfect for me if it fit. And it does! It came Friday evening and I wore it right away the next morning to run errands, then again on Monday to work which is pic#1-2. I received compliments on my lighter footwear on a different outfit post so I thought I would try it again with this outfit. </p> <p>Pic#3-4 &nbsp;is Friday. I could not wait to get home so I could rip this outfit off! I couldn't take the bagging out of the pants or the flimsiness of the tee. When I wear these pants at home it does not bother me. It was a dark rainy day so I didn't wear what I had planned to. It was cold/hot off and on in the office all day so I was wearing a denim jacket on and off.&nbsp;</p> <p>When I looked at Monday's pictures I thought my hair was getting a bit flat and straighter, which is strange because it was always wavy. I wonder if it is the whites/greys. They are taking over with much haste. So I gave myself a good chop job Thursday night and will probably experiment with it as I grow it out. I did a closeup of it in pic#5.&nbsp;Does anyone have experience with losing their waves? Was it connected to turning white/grey?<br />A big thank you to Angie, Karen and all the YLF'ers for your wisdom and inspiration! Thank you in advance for any input, suggestions and critiques you care to offer!</p>
