It was looking pretty dull there for awhile. I got the shine back with Collective Wellbeing's "shiny" shampoo, but then it ran out and no one is carrying it anymore. I have to order it online, which I haven't done. At the moment I'm using something I picked up from Whole Foods called Beautiful Curl. I think it's for African American hair, so is extra moisturizing. The Beautiful Curl styling products are too heavy for my hair, but the shampoo seems pretty good. Smells good also, not like a toxic cloud.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-921214 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:58:01 +0000 ironkurtin 921214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your outfit in #3 is amazing!&nbsp; I love those sandals.&nbsp; A LOT.<br /><br />Ok I have to ask, how do you get your hair that shiny?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-921154 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:53:00 +0000 Anonymous 921154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your new shoes and your writing! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-921109 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:53:13 +0000 Sarah S 921109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Haven't read all the comments here, but really ... those pointy sandals you got are to die for, even in black. You are so rocking them. As for the platform glads? Absolutely gorgeous. I want, I want, I want and I so see why you didn't. <br /><br />Superb shopping choices made IMHO.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-921062 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:56:49 +0000 rachylou 921062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh cool!

I say pretty good because they still aren't hiking shoes. The leather is soft and supple, and they are properly constructed pointy shoes: they accounted for the fact the point is supposed to be beyond the toes. I did discover I need to wear the little toe cover socks I was wearing. The straps kind of rub. I don't think other people would have to do this.

I feel like I was there, feeling awkward listening to shopgirl right next to you.

Not that it matters, they look good.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-920415 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 01:14:58 +0000 pil 920415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love your new sandals and you look terrific in 3.

Hey my granddaughter is 13 and she's really big into braids...apparently there is a YouTube channel that features nothing but examples of how to braid creatively. So you are apparently right on trend, my dear, and I only wish I could have been a fly on the wall when the over-reaching yet under-traveled salesgirl pitched you on the items in her shop. (I am still giggling as I write.)&nbsp;Keep on truckin'. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-920283 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:34:28 +0000 Jan 920283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou,<br /> Your post left me grinning.<br /> You would be such fun to shop with/listen to Linda Ronstadt with!<br /> I am missing the 80 s vibe with those sandals, but I think they are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-920278 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:30:21 +0000 Caro in Oz 920278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the whole outfit in #3 - you look fantastic:) Glad you bought #4 - so stylish. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-920272 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:22:27 +0000 Diana 920272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I got my hair cut and colored yesterday and my stylist did little braids for me too.

When that happens, I have to restrain myself from looking downcast and explaining I'm actually an aging, out-of-work pole dancer whose arthritic knees and back are making it harder and harder to find work at 65.<br /><br />But, your hair looks cute in its "festival" mode, and those sandals are too cool for words. The one thing that the sales girl did get right is that those shoes will look as good in Paris as near the hot tub with LInda in the background.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-920184 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:45:18 +0000 Suz 920184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <b>LOVE</b> those shoes!!

I also have to add I went in to this furnishings store which is NEVER open. If you go during store hours, there's always a sign, "be back in 5 minutes." Well, I finally caught the little man in his shop! He turned out to be French and that was so weird. I feel like he will experience heartbreak with this store... cool stuff tho.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-makeover-hipster-style#post-920145 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:37:35 +0000 rachylou 920145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <i>ETA: </i><a href="http://www.convertstyle.com/shoes/jeffrey-campbell" rel="nofollow"><i>shoe link</i></a><br /><br />Ahaha! I remembered to show up for my haircut. I don't have a pic of that (yet). Be-cause, my hipster stylist styled me up, like it was prom. You peeps will be all, <i>I hope you didn't pay for that</i>.<br /><br />Got some shoes. The shopgirl says Jeffrey Campbell did some shoe just for them (the Convert store), but I couldn't tell what shoe she was talking about. She also kept talking to me about "us big feet girls," and was a real hard-seller. She got me to take home some Tom's espadrille booties. I'm afraid their cuteness overrode my snittiness about Tom's (he's so Bofu Botswana).<br /><br />I almost got the platform gladiators (#5), but didn't because of lack of occasions for wearing them. They were super comfy tho.<br /><br />The Jeffrey Cambell's are awfully black and RATE. I feel terribly terribly '80s in them, and headed for a hot tub, and about to cue up some Linda Ronstadt. Shopgirl said I could totally wear them to the office. Not clear to me she's ever been in an office... <br /><br />Oh and shopgirl said the black sandals were so good for Europe, if I ever travel like that. Um, is it just me, or was that a weird comment? However, my take-home from that was that you could do a lot of walking in them, which is kinda why I went with them instead of the gladiators.<br />
