curious birds: are you a fashion risk taker?

i am not a risk taker in the classic sense. we talked a bit about that here. you won't see me jumping out of a plane for fun (fun? really?) anytime soon. but if there is one place i do like to take some risks it is with fashion. now, i am not claiming to be daphne guiness or lady gaga or anything. but i do believe in dressing fearlessly and wearing what i love. even if no one else does. when it comes to fashion, i feel like i can think outside of the box. while out thrifting i may see something truly hideous and think, i might be able to make that cute. it's fun for me. a challenge. i am also this way when i comes to my hair. my hair has been almost every length, style and color. okay, i have never been a platinum blond and i never will be. that would just look ridiculous. and i most definitely would not love it. but i love experimenting with cuts and styles. sometimes i will just go to my stylist and say, do something fun! whatever! which is pretty much just what i did yesterday. i know, i know! i was growing out my hair! and you were all so nice to try and talk me out of cutting it. but i think i always knew, deep down, that i would. once i get that itch, i need to scratch it. and maybe, just maybe, i have finally come to realize that i am not a long hair gal. of course i see those girls with the gorgeous, long beachy waves and and i think, that is so me. i am growing my hair out this instant. but, inevitably, i always chop it off. every time. and it is not usually something i think about too deeply or for too long. there are definitely emails back and forth to my sisters asking, should i? really? and they say yes and that is all i really need. it also helps that i have an amazing stylist. seriously the best. and really, it's just hair, right? so, what i want to know is, do you take fashion risks? do you wear what you love or cut your hair the way you want to no matter what others might think or say? i like to think that, for the most part, i do. so, while you'll never see me wingsuit flying (really people???), i'll always have the clothes in my closet and the hair on my head to have fun with!

alright. enough talk. i took a few pics of the new do while mimi and i were out playing yesterday. i hope you like it! but even if you don't, i do. and that is what really counts!
