well...it never stopped. i continued to (not-so) secretly obsess. i spent hours poring over every picture i could find, watching youtube videos of girls getting their hair chopped off, and basically psyching myself up for it.
i was still iffy until about a week ago. i had all the usual worries...it would make my face look chubby, i would have a tiny head on a huge body, i'd look like a boy...and then, suddenly, i booked a hair appointment.
"so what do you want to do today?" she asked as i walked in.
i grinned. "short. i want it short."
she looked a little hesitant. i pulled out my laptop, showed her my pictures, and then sat down in the chair. "cut it off!" i commanded.
hair can be an emotional thing. i hid behind mine for years.
i wouldn't have had the confidence to do this in high school. (and quite honestly, i didn't think i ever would.)
but i've come a long way in 5 years.
my hair was getting boring, so i decided to get rid of it.
and here's the shocker:
i didn't cry. i didn't freak out.
i loved it.
(i know it's not reeaally a pixie, i wasn't quite brave enough to go emma watson style yet. i am considering it though.)
you guys...whether or not you actually like it, i'm so proud of myself.
:)
have a lovely week.
It looks fantastic, Heather! I love it!! Way to be brave :)
ReplyDeletethank you! you inspired me. :)
DeleteYou look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I know I said I would do it if you did...but I'm still hiding
ReplyDeleteDO IT, MELISSA.
Delete:) haha. just kidding. don't do it until you're ready.
but when you're ready, go for it!
Love it!!!! You look amazing!!! Welcome to the sisterhood of fabulous mornings.
ReplyDeleteIt now takes me longer to do my makeup than it does to do my hair. Score.
Deleteso gorgeous!! You pull this off wonderfully! I think you could even go just a bit shorter... it's already short so why not, right??
ReplyDeleteDon't tempt me!! ;)
DeleteI LOVE IT!!! I wish I was so brave.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've seen pictures of you with short hair, it was really cute!
Deletegorgeous! you should go emma watson style, you could totally pull it off!
ReplyDeleteIf I could look as good as you did, I'd do it in a heartbeat!
DeleteOk, so now I'm obsessing. But, I can't decide what my face shape is so I can pick a style http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/gallery/haircuts-to-try-before-you-die from that link. And, surprise, surprise, my husband says go for it!
ReplyDeleteI totally obsessed over trying to figure out my face shape and ind a cut for it. I even took measurements! (Insert Silas snickering at me). I love the pixie (obvs...but I think Carey Mulligan is so cute and she was one of my inspirations) and the Jackie O style (which would be an excellent way to ease into shorter hair).
ReplyDeleteThat was for you, Melissa....haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know if this helps but iread that if you like the way you look with your hair pulled back from your face, you'll probably like a pixie cut. Even so, you can always play it safe like I did with bangs.
It's super cute Heather :) & i love that you have a picture I took in high school on here too!!!
