a little off the top

Happy summer!  The spring just seemed to fly right by, but I am glad that summer is here.  I love the longer days, the bevy of fresh fruits and vegetables, and wearing softer, more feminine clothing.

To celebrate the first day of summer last Friday, I got my hair cut super-short!  Since I’m adverse to having my picture taken, even by me, here’s just a little peek:

Previously, my hair was an almost-shoulder length layered bob.  It’s still a bit shocking every time I catch sight of myself in the mirror (who is that girl??), but I really like it.  Incredibly liberating.  And did I mention how easy it is to take care of?  Just wash and go.  I’ve been making a lot of changes lately, to shake myself out of complacency, and this sure was the biggest ticket!  Not only do I look different, I find I am carrying myself differently, I need to dress and accessorize differently (like with these earrings which I was lucky enough to score!), and most importantly, absolutely every hat I have looks completely different on me now.  It’s like having a new model to dress and learning for the first time what shapes and silhouettes compliment her. A very special custom client.  Exciting and so stimulating!  To cut it all off was a decision I made on a whim, but then again, sometimes those turn out to be the decisions ever made!
