Watercolor

It's about 10:00 pm and I am just now getting around to my goofy pics for the day.  I am EXHAUSTED!!! For some reason, I was really tired all day and I left work with a pounding headache.  I had a few errands to run, and I was determined to get them done so I popped two Tylenol and pushed through it...and now here I am, still exhausted but determined to get this post done for tomorrow morning since I didn't post this morning.

So it seems that most of you agree with Fabrice on the hair cutting. Olivia, I have never had short hair so I have no examples of what it would look like. The shortest I ever cut it was to my collar bone, and that was only to cut off the remnants of my two year stint with reddish brown hair...which I loved by the way! It was just way too hard to maintain dyed hair, and I am way too lazy!

So, I got two suggestions from readers for my hair.

1. Shumpynella recommends that I check out Hairlista. I have actually heard a lot of good things about Hairlista amongst the mocha mommies of the blogosphere. Hairlista touts itself as "a Social Network designed to unite and educate women on healthy hair care practices, skin, beauty and much more." So, I haven't joined yet, but I am going to join this weekend when I really have some time to read through the site.  I will definitely be keeping you all updated on my "hair journey."

 2. Nikita over at The Fashion Files also commented, recommending that I try a Brazilian blowout. Of course, the Brazilian blowout is only the hottest thing to hit the hair scene since the flat iron.  There are even two girls at my job who've given it a try and they love it.  I'll be the first to admit that their hair is super shiny and voluminous, but for me the question is...ummm... well...I haven't heard much about black women using this technique for straightening.  Does it work?  and does it TRULY not damage your hair AT ALL?

3. Fshnonmymind over at Notes From the Dressing Room asked if I would consider wearing a short weave as an alternative to cutting, so I can get the look of short hair without the commitment.  I have a few friends who wear weaves solely for the purpose of versatility. It allows them to wear short styles, and experiment with color without damaging their hair. It really is a great option for trying new things! But, I have tried weaves and they are so uncomfortable for me.  I got a few tracks sewed in once just for fullness.  I was on a weekend trip to Laughlin with my friends and I literally took the tracks out in the bathroom of the hotel. Lol! I was really kinda bummed because I loved the way it looked, but I didn't like how it felt. 


I honestly have no clue what I want to do with my hair, but I do know that I am tired of the ponytail, so if I don't cut it, I at least want to get a grown up hairstyle of some kind....if you know what I mean.  So, please continue to give me suggestions. I am all ears!

On the outfit, I love this skirt. I bought it a couple years ago and I've worn it a handful of times. It is super high-waisted and very full so it can be a little unflattering with the wrong top.  It definitely looks best with a simple tank, or a plain crisp white blouse.  Today I tried adding a little something with the denim shirt.  I actually loved it in real life, but didn't care for it in the pictures.  What do you think? Hate it or Love it?

Thanks for stopping by!!!
