I have always been the type of person to try things because "it sounds like fun" or because "there's no reason not to" (which was the reasoning behind my first marathon). And while I am not rebellious when it comes to authority (total rule follower here), I am rebellious when it comes to my style.
For example, as a teenager, I had 13 earrings on the outer lobes of my ears. I also had that little spot on the inside of the ear next to the cheek (totally blanking on the name) pierced, which I did myself. And because that wasn't enough, I also put a piece of metal in my eyebrow, nose, belly button and tongue - all by my 18th birthday. Add all of that to my two tattoos and hair that ranged from blue to pink and well, my style was ... UNIQUE.
I guess I kind of feel that you either go big or go home. And going home is NOT AN OPTION.
You might say, I am all about the shock factor. And you would probably be right. Because last night, I looked like this ...
And thanks to J and a pair of clippers, this morning, I look like this ...
Shocking, right?
OMG! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou did a hair post recently, which made me think you were going to cut your hair soon...it looks cute!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave! And awesome! It looks cute AND liberating.
ReplyDeleteshock factor--check!
ReplyDeletehotness factor--check!
convenience factor--check
look good there momma!
It looks awesome! And frankly, short of deciding not to run anymore, I'm not sure you could shock me. ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome on you!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly! You're not kidding around. You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteso freaking AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteYou really are up for anything!! And you have the face and style to rock pretty much any hair cut.
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome! I would do that in a heartbeat if I could pull it off.

ReplyDeletelove that you are still rocking the head bands! Seriously you are one of the few people who can totally pull this off. It looks awesome! I think it needs some pink streaks though...
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! You can totally pull this off - maybe though, you shoudl have done it at the beginning of summer? Now you're head will be cold! LOL! I do love it!
ReplyDeleteI have threatened a bajillion times to do that! I just couldn't rock the look like you do though. Some people got it, some people don't. You got it, sister!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I speak for most everyone here when I say we NEED to see photos of you in your teenage years.
You have the face to pull this off, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI did something close to this two years ago. I wanted to get back to my roots so to speak and find out what my true hair color was, so I cut it all (almost) off. After having loooooong bleached blonde hair for 20 years, it was true freedom! It's grown out now and it's dark and healthy!
My husband just started talking to me again about a month ago ;-)
You are way braver than me! But you can pull it off. I'm sure it will make you faster, too. ; )
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and is an awesome marketing ploy for your bands!
ReplyDeleteLooks great on you! Not many girls get away with hair that short, but you do! :)
ReplyDeleteOh WOW!! You totally have the shock factor down! lol... what a difference!! But seriously... you rock that look! Not a whole lot of us girls could like that great in a hairstyle like that! YAY YOU!! :D
ReplyDeleteYou wait until after the 100 days of 100 degrees to take it all off????? I used number 5 clippers on my hair every 2 weeks for 7 years - it was the greatest!!! Enjoy (though, be on the look out for a warm winter cap to wear for you daily errands). NICE!
ReplyDeleteI miss having my hair that short. It was so easy to basically wash and go! Very cute. Hope you enjoy it! Hope we'll get to see a pic without the headband. :)
ReplyDeleteyou can pull ANYTHING off with that attitude and firm belief in yourself! You are inspiring and just totally an awesome role model for your girls. Oh and you look mah-velous to boot!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Wish I had a the guts to do that.
ReplyDeleteYou are so pretty- this cut really shows off your features. Nice job. You are BRAVE!
ReplyDeletesuper cute! you are brave....and totally pull it off!
ReplyDeleteI envy you...I could never take that leap!
ReplyDeleteYou asked me about cupcakes...I have never tried Two Sweet Cupcakes, but I will now! I have tried Frosting out by Trader Joes...the chocolate cupcakes are amazing. As for Carytown Cupcakes, they are ok, but not the best. The plain vanilla with vanilla buttercream is your best bet at this one.
Gorgeous and daring! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome on you...will definitely be get up and go with that cut!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are still GORGEOUS with uber short hair!! I wish I had the strength and courage to do that (if I felt moved!)
ReplyDeleteNice look!
ReplyDeleteIt looks cute! I wish I was that brave!
ReplyDeleteLooks great - think of the time it will save. I actually loved my hair short - BUT once I had cancer and lost my hair - I kind of like having it a little longer . . . but I think about getting it cut off every once an a while.
ReplyDeleteENJOY!!!
Wowza! What a brave hot momma!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!!! I had a moment a few months ago when I thought I could go short but couldn't do it. I don't think I could pull it off like you do. It really is cute.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see some high school pics too :)
Love it!! it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!!
Looks awesome, with that smile and those eyes, you could have any hairstyle! Love that you are bold and brave!
ReplyDeleteWish I could do that!!!
Haha...I would love to come to your house and cook. Or you could just come to Maine. Oh wait, there's nothing exciting Maine.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love the shocking new 'do!
Nice. Did you have enough to donate? Motivation for the change?
ReplyDeleterandom and shocking....very cute!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks super cute on you! And definitely low-maintenance. I'm getting my hair chopped off this week, but I'm not that brave!
ReplyDeleteOMG girl, you did go big!! Wow - I'm actually jealous - think of how much simpler your life just got!
ReplyDelete~RR
looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome, I love it!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I really like it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! It looks great! I wish I had a decent shaped head. It would make swimming so much easier!
ReplyDeleteI abso-friggin-lutely love it!!! I wish I could pull it off. You look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Looks super cute!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the best thing ever!! I loved having my hair that short. Doing it with clippers makes it even better!

ReplyDeleteWOW! i freakin love it. I love that you are you and there is no in between. Inspirational for all women!! You rock it!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is soooo cute! You are one of the few people I have seen that can totally pull that off and look soooo adorable! I can't even imagine a husband being brave enough to shave his wife's head though!!! kudos to him!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! You look great both ways! Its perfect for running.
ReplyDeleteWinks & Smiles,

I think you can totally pull off the short hair! Makes your eyes look really blue! :)
