6 Inches Lighter

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but it's been nothing but cold and rainy here lately and all I want to do is curl up under a warm blanket and read a book (yes, it is actually summer here, it just doesn't feel like it).

So, I decided it was time for a pick me up and went to the hair salon!

I was going to go much shorter but of course, the nearer my appointment got, the more freaked out I got, so I went for this instead.  It's not drastically different but it's several years of hard growing out time gone, just like that, in a snip!

With my large collection of hair pieces and clip-in extensions I'm pretty brave about cutting these days.  I figure if it's not working for me, I'll just throw some other hair in and fix it.  But I'm having fun with this cutesy cut.

I noticed a few people staring at me while I was out shopping the other day.  I hope it was because they were admiring my hair, and not because I had something on my pants or some other embarassment that only they noticed.

This was the original inspiration that I chickened out of:

I'm feeling a little Kit Hoover "newscaster" ish with my new do, but it still works.

Do you like it better long or short?  You can be honest, like I said, I can go long again quite easily.  Leave a comment and let me know~

Get the Short Hair Trend...Without Cutting Your Hair!

I've been putting off going to the hair salon for way too long.  I'm just worried that when I walk in there, instead of saying "Just a trim please.", like I should, that I'll probably sit down and yell out "CHOP IT ALL OFF!  GIVE ME A PIXIE!!"  Which I will regret within about 2 days~

So I found a better solution!

The lovely folks at SammyDress sent me a wig!  I have loads and loads of clip-in extensions, falls, ponytails, etc, but I've never tried a full wig before.

I love it for those days when I just don't feel like doing my hair at all.  Plus it's perfect for the other days when all I want to do is cut it all off.  I'm not a short hair girl.  I look better in long hair.  I know that, and yet every few years I want to try something different, and usually live to regret it and spend the next two years desperately trying to grow it all out again.

The more I play with it the more ways I find to wear it.  If you want to try a full wig but you're nervous about the hairline, just throw a headband or bandanna on until you get comfortable styling it.  This wig is so much more voluminous than my own hair so I can add braids without them falling out right away too.

They even sent me the cute little off the shoulder top that I'm wearing.  It's one size fits all so I didn't really think it would fit but it's perfect.  And it's great for when I want something just slightly more smart than a T-shirt.  It comes in black and light blue as well.

Hey!  Is she wearing my hair?
