The Fashion Makeover - Planning! (part 1)

As some of you might know, I've been trying to inspire myself to get out there more, and one necessary step in that was to get a haircut so my unkempt hair would become, well, kempt. I didn't have any good looking pictures of myself to use for, for example, dating site profiles!

[livejournal.com profile] dracosphynx, being a "full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes" type of engineer, dug around a bit and found a fashion makeover site in San Francisco. He promptly dragged me into it! (you may picture Fluffyshy clinging to the carpet and leaving clawmarks)

The Fashion Makeover - Execution! (part 2)

We began in San Francisco. While we had taken BART up to the Cherry Blossom Festival the previous outing, this time with the notion that we might need to stow many, many packages full of clothes. We emerged from the Union Square garage practically into Macy's, where we dithered between the Cheesecake Factory and... The Burger Bar. Glad we picked the latter, the milkshake made a big impression on [livejournal.com profile] dracosphynx!

The burgers were also pretty tasty; we had a 'sliders' assortment, though I couldn't tell you the difference between angus beef, grass-fed beef, and buffalo meat. The toppings were what made the burgers work so well!

Thus fortified, we met Beth in front of the store and walked in to the nearby tea/soda bar where she discussed what we wanted to achieve with our fashion makeover. I showed her my sketches; [livejournal.com profile] dracosphynx explained his predilection for wearing all black.

Our first trip of the day was down the street to a hair salon tucked up on the 16th floor. Very well hidden! Beth explained what she wanted in hair styles for us, and then left to go pick out clothes for us and reserve a dressing room in the Macy's for Men store, while Alex took over.

Nova Albion: Shopping for Clothes You'll Never Wear

The day began with me traipsing over to [livejournal.com profile] dracosphynx's apartment, wearing as promised, my new outfit. I discovered at this point the boots I had obtained the previous day were far too uncomfortable to wear for any significant amount of time, so retired to my car as soon as I could, to obtain my regular shoes.
