I should have taken a picture of the back. But if it's just "hot and humid" - it's frizz. Big hair. I can't stand it. Even drying it straight doesn't combat the ravages of humidity.</p> <p><b>Carol </b>- love that your grandpa was a Coastie! I have worn this necklace for 8 years now. I stopped wearing any jewelry last summer after my dad passed away, and it actually took some effort to put my anchor on.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-promotion-ceremony-natural-hair#post-2360718 Tue, 21 May 2024 12:30:44 +0000 Carol 2360718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And even a little anchor necklace--so great. I like this outfit...it has an East Coast/Jackie O feel, but updated with a moto.&nbsp;</p> <p>Congrats to your son--my grandpa was in the Coast Guard as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-promotion-ceremony-natural-hair#post-2360717 Tue, 21 May 2024 12:22:35 +0000 April 2360717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saluting Lieutenant Little Mr. Laurie! And yes, you both LF.</p> <p>But must ask - your hair is <b>less</b> frizzy when it's very humid? Must know the secret to this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-promotion-ceremony-natural-hair#post-2360667 Mon, 20 May 2024 22:26:33 +0000 Laurie 2360667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy&nbsp;</b>- I would have worn my navy Ecco sneakers, or my Paul Green flats in a dark metallic with that outfit, if I hadn't been inspired to wear those sandals. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws-in-a-row">Here </a>is a similar outfit with the joggers in another color, and the black PG flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-promotion-ceremony-natural-hair#post-2360619 Mon, 20 May 2024 14:44:14 +0000 Anonymous 2360619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your son’s promotion!

I love your natural hair at this length. In humidity, which in DC we have plenty of, my hair doubles in size! Your outfit is perfect.

The best I could imagine for an event like that!&nbsp;The colors (navy&amp;white),&nbsp; the sporty-de luxe style (moto&amp;joggers) and the smart cork accessories turned out in a way that reflects&nbsp; not only your personality but also the&nbsp; "honour, respect and devotion to duty" your son undertook his vocation. Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-promotion-ceremony-natural-hair#post-2360571 Sun, 19 May 2024 20:23:54 +0000 Laurie 2360571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went to Yorktown, VA on Friday to attend our younger son's short promotion ceremony to lieutenant in the US Coast Guard.&nbsp; As he did not invite us to his 2 previous promotions since the 2020 academy graduation (exactly <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---grad">4 yrs ago today</a> - in our family room) I wasn't sure what to expect. Called it exactly right, wardrobe-wise. it was a cool, cloudy day so I needed the jacket.<br /> Pulled out these Sofft Innis sandals in cork, (these are sandals I have multiples of, and just added gold metallic at the suggestion of many Fabbers for a dress I needed help styling!) and my <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tote-bag-made-to-specs---practical-and-beautiful">custom-made cork and navy tote</a>. I was very comfortable in the navy BR tencel joggers, and a cropped Max Studio knit moto from a few years ago.</p> <p>Yesterday it rained all day. I've been experimenting with letting my hair dry naturally at this longer length. I can only do it on very humid days, or it is not curly, just frizzy. </p>
