Time for Change!

Well, loves, today I'm here to clear the dust from the air and explain where I've been. These past few weeks my weight has fluctuated, money has been tight, life has been super stressful, and the result of that combination is that I haven't felt very cute, fun, or fashionable at all. For me, it's hard to feel stylish when your clothes aren't comfortable and don't really fit-- but unfortunately, we're not in a place financially where I can replace my wardrobe.

But! All is not lost. I needed to do something for myself that would leave me feeling refreshed and bright again. It was time for the locks to get nixed!

I haven't had truly short hair since I was a small kid, and back then it was the standard 90s bowl cut. But I wanted something versatile, funky, feminine-- something that could be either sweet or sexy. I wanted something much lower maintenance as well. My hair is very thick and wavy, and tangles very easily. I've probably spent a fourth of my life conditioning and untangling.

Here is the before! I've had this hairstyle for several years now.





And here's the after!





What do you think? I love it! I seriously feel like a new woman with this hair! It's like a weight lifted from my shoulders (literally!). I'm going to try and get back into the swing of posting regularly. I'm hoping my new hair was just the trick to make me feel inspired again.

  2. Oh! It looks super cute! I love it! It will certainly be a lot less maintenance and your head must be feeling a lot lighter!
