I love it. The outfit is so boho polished, rustic, edgy and cozy.&nbsp; I prefer it curly as a curly girl myself but this is a <b><i>very</i></b> nice change of pace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1079797 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 04:38:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1079797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for chiming in on the hair and outfit. </p> <p>I do love this handknit cozy, and I'm so lucky to have a friend knit it for me. Thank you Modgirl, Lisa, and kellygirl for your fun and admiring comments on it. </p> <p>Thanks Cocolion, for the ideas on styling it with high-waist pants or skirt.</p> <p>Suz, Hil, and Beth Ann, thank you for the great insights on the hair style. </p> <p>Ceit, amiable, karymk, Sona and Angie, your comments are so sweet; thank you. </p> <p>And Suz, yes these ran true to size, but I've had them at least a year. So I don't&nbsp; know how the Skyline cut would run now. When Angie posted the jeans question recently, I didn't respond but read with interest. I've been finding some brands seem to run small, but I also feel I've put on some weight and at the same time want my pants to fit less tight. So who knows. </p> <p>Update on the new hairstyle: today I wore it a little wavy but not full-on (i.e., not diffuser-dried) waves. It flipped out a little bit at the sides, for a softer look. I guess it really is a change, because I am moved to experiment with how I style it. For straight, though, I think a really need a flat iron. Round brush is not the answer! Ha!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1079076 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 16:10:55 +0000 karymk 1079076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit for what you were doing. &nbsp;And the hair is fantastic like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1079063 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 16:00:53 +0000 Lisa 1079063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoulder cozy, what a neat piece.&nbsp; I like the texture it brings to the outfit.&nbsp; The hair looks fab.&nbsp; I am always jealous of those with fab hair styling skills.&nbsp; I can barely do a blowout by myself, forget curls one day and straight the next. I had a coworker that was a wiz at hair and could do any style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1079016 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 15:14:40 +0000 modgrl 1079016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh!! Squueee!! Look at that shoulder cozy! I never heard it called that! I need to pull mine out from last winter. It was so fun to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078982 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:56:09 +0000 Angie 1078982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun arty outfit. You look amazing in those jeans. Hair looks really pretty too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078973 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:46:42 +0000 Sona 1078973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the hair. It changes things a bit. Also love the way the low rise looks on you. You should really wear this rise more often ( if you don't already do). It really does hit the sweet spot on your body! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078967 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:38:54 +0000 Beth Ann 1078967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the hair!&nbsp; I think the shape is refined and the bangs and layers frame your face nicely.&nbsp; My stylist always blows min straight and flat irons, too.&nbsp; She does this, and then takes out a lot of weight by texturizing and point-cutting the ends.&nbsp; Straight hair shows the lines of the cut better.&nbsp; </p> <p>I do love your curls!&nbsp; But the option to wear it straight for a change-up is fabulous!&nbsp; I also love you in grey and appreciate the way you understand the importance of textures in an outfit.&nbsp; I always try to dress like my most modern, authentic self to a hair appointment.&nbsp; I have this feeling that I'm more likely to get a cuts that suits me by doing this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078924 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:47:21 +0000 Anonymous 1078924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! The haircut is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078908 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:34:12 +0000 Suz 1078908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <b>love</b> your hair and I do see it as a change. I like the curls, too, but I think at this length with the bangs it brings attention to your eyes and cheekbones in a very good way and is enlivening. So it is the new length and bangs that make it, not whether or not it is curly.&nbsp;</p> <p>Those jeans are just fantastic on you. You're making me want a pair. Did you find them TTS?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078907 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:32:27 +0000 Hil 1078907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is amazing and your hair looks great! I also envy people with curly hair who can go both ways. And bangs can change things up A LOT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078904 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:29:17 +0000 amiable 1078904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - this outfit totally rocks! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078800 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 07:30:07 +0000 CocoLion 1078800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful! &nbsp;As someone who has straight hair, I love curly hair, but I also love the way curly hair looks ironed straight. &nbsp;It still has a fullness that is hard to get when you have straight, fine hair like mine.</p> <p>I also really like the Majestic with the shoulder warmer. &nbsp;It occurred to me that with its cropped length, you could style this in an ultra-modern way with a high-waisted midi skirt or high-waisted pants. &nbsp;(If you dare you can expose your midriff!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078791 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 07:16:42 +0000 kellygirl 1078791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, your hair looks terrific. I love it curly too though. It's cool that you can change it up. I can do straight, or er, straight pretty much. LOVE the handknit. You make it look so chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078787 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 07:10:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1078787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!<br />Alaskagirl, my stylist blew it dry and then used a flat iron. I do not have a flat iron, so my first attempts to style it straight (or straighter than usual) will be with a round brush. He used a different anti-frizz styling product (one for straight styling rather than curly styling), too, and I don't think I have anything like that. Anyway, my curly style takes about 5 min. of blow-drying. The straight style, as he did it, would be 5 min. blow-dry, plus however long it takes me to learn to use a flat iron! Haha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078776 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 06:37:57 +0000 catgirl 1078776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a fun change!&nbsp; How much work does it really take? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078753 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 05:55:17 +0000 Debra 1078753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, love the outfit and the hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078750 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 05:50:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 1078750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your curls too but this is nice for a change.

Your specs are very similar to mine, although mine are all tortoise with a hint of a cat eye. The green accent on yours sounds very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078738 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 05:35:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1078738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, thanks. I know what you mean--I'm partial to curls, too. </p> <p>Thank you, Debora. Do you have the same jeans? My specs are Michael Kors, and they have green edges behind the dark tortoise fronts, a detail that I really like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078737 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 05:35:12 +0000 dlb1960 1078737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit. Great hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078733 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 05:25:23 +0000 Debora 1078733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you have the option to go between straight and curly. It truly looks beautiful both ways. I love your outfit. Those Paige jeans are wonderful, aren't they? I wonder if we have the same specs - mine are by Oliver Peoples. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078721 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 05:03:50 +0000 Jaime 1078721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans and outfit! I prefer the curls, but you know I am quite biased toward them. You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-straight-hair-and-straight-legs#post-1078719 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 05:01:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1078719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's what I wore to the hairdresser and to go shopping: <br />Straightleg jeans (Paige Skyline)<br />Gray-green long-sleeve tee in cotton cashmere (Majestic)<br />Shoulder cozy in blues, greens, and gold (handknit by a friend!)<br />Brown jeans belt (B-Low the Belt)<br />Metallic brown booties (Donald Pliner)<br />Mixed brass and silver earrings (Marjorie Baer) and bracelets (Lucky)</p> <p>On the hairdresser visit, I had bangs cut! And he styled my hair straight, just for something different. I can see in these photos it's not a huge difference, but when I look in the mirror, I feel like I'm looking at someone else! It's been SO long since I blew my hair out straight or had bangs. I'm thinking I may go back to curly/wavy tomorrow, but I may try to wear it straight sometimes. It will take some learning, plus some new products and maybe tools. I was kind of hoping for more of a gee-whiz moment with the haircut, but as far as flattery goes, it seems about the same as what I've been wearing. What do you think?</p>
