I'm growing out my hair, like it was when I was single.







Outfit details:
Moto jacket - courtesy of Coach
belt - taken from another dress
vintage dress - thrifted
tights - Walmart
glasses - Bobby's
vintage beret - Hourglass Consignment (my mom's store)
Senso shoes - courtesy of Solestruck
MAC clutch - courtesy of Rebecca Minkoff
Lipstick - MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Unlimited (I *love* these)

I've been putting off getting a haircut for two reasons: money and length. I made a strange decision to cut off my long hair a few years ago - it was above chin length! I regretted it almost immediately and have been impatiently waiting to get back to longer locks. I know I'm way overdue for a trim, but when you're looking for length, even a trim sounds like a chore. It has now been months and months since I've had a cut or color, which is why I always have the messy updos. Now that the weather is cooler, I have rediscovered the magic of hats and their ability to conceal bad hair. I promise, ol' head of hair, I will give you a style and trim and possibly even a lovely color in the coming months. I'll do it even faster if Kitty Boos will get a job and start taking care of his vet bills.


Edit: Someone requested a photo of me with short hair...here you go!

  7. This has such an 80s vibe to it - the pretty feminine with the tough leather, with just a touch of quirkiness from the glasses and beret - love it!

  9. Really nice outfit! And I get the whole not wanting to cut your hair thing! You always say an inch and they take three! I decided to cut my A line extreme bob back to a straight length and I miss the hair on my shoulders! (but I had to do it, the ends were dead :/)

  14. Perhaps it is a myth, but I have heard that regular trims help your hait grow a bit quicker... it is nice to see it out anyway!

  25. Love the dress and jacket together :)

    I have the exact situation with my hair. I chopped my long hair off into an a-line bob in '08 and it's now pretty much back to its long glory but I'm always in the mindset that I can't cut it because it needs to get longer!

    ReplyDelete

  26. I'm very jealous you can pull off a beret, its something I've never been able to figure out!

    I cut my hair above my chin just a few days ago, only because its so much easier to care for!

    And those shoes are to DIE FOR! I'm totally in love ;)

    ReplyDelete

  27. don't worry, i think your hair looks great. long can be just as easy or easier than short, in my opinion. loving those shoes!

  29. The dress is so pretty and stands out so well against all the other black pieces! And I think the pink bag is the perfect girly-yet-edgy detail to pull this look together even better. Love it!

  30. I absolutely LOVE your blog.
    You are a serious inspiration.


    PS. Your hair is gorgeous whatever you do with it!

  31. I don't think you need a trim, your long locks are just so pretty! And love the adorable preppy glasses paired with the moto jacket. Throwing in the dainty dress just makes the outfit such a wonderful concoction.

  50. You look great with any hairstyle, but I know how you feel. I whined and complained about my hair for months... then I finally chopped it off into a pixie. Now I want my long hair back! Yep, just call me Fickle Fern. ;)

  51. Ooo I just love this look! A little rocker barbie-ish! =)

  53. love your tough jacket and innocent dress! so cute!

    ReplyDelete

  55. I'm big on long hair, so have fun! Granted I've always cut my own hair since I was 8, which saves even more money.

    ReplyDelete

  56. Totally with you on being reluctant to cut hair when growing it out. I got mine cut to about chin length and when it was done I hated it - I cried!

    ReplyDelete

  57. i loved your outfit! your bag is pretty cute!
