I'm back again!

Hello!  I had to take a break for health reasons and the weird thing is I decided I would start posting again today and I looked at the date, and it's been exactly one year to the date that I last posted!  Weird!

I am really going to try to put more OOTD posts on here from now on, maybe not every day, but more than I did before.  I am hoping I can do more thrifting posts too, since that is a big part of my life.

I've been putting a lot of clothing on Ebay because my office is filled with clothing that I've either been given by people to sell or clothes I just have to get rid of for lack of wearing or fitting anymore.  I'm really thinking about putting some of my clothes on Poshmark, have you heard of it?  It's basically a virtual closet of clothing that people are selling from their own closets and I really like the prices!  If I do I will link my closet to this blog if anyone is interested.

I haven't had my hair cut in about a year and a half, because it's so hard to make an appointment with someone and have to cancel because I'm too sick to drive.  So I've been having my boyfriend cut the length off a little at a time and then I clip my bangs.  Needless to say, the last time I posted on my blog my hair was to my waist, with long layers.  Since then I've had Chris cut off about 15 inches total!  So my layers are now gone and my hair is past my shoulders to about the middle of my back!  It's very thick and grows really fast and no I'm not bragging, trust me, it's a pain!!  Now I just need to find someone I can trust to put some layers back in my hair.  Then I'm going to deepen the color just a little.....maybe :)  I really really want to change my style, but I can't decide.  Here are a few pictures I've collected that I would like to try:

This is how I usually have my layers, but I've never had side swept bangs

I love her bangs and this is how I've always worn my bangs, but not as thick, more like fringe

This is another picture with side swept bangs that I would like to try

I've had my hair like this before but my bangs came straight across my forehead

This haircut is if I'm feeling very brave, because it is above the shoulders and I don't know if my face shape can carry it off like hers can

This picture does her haircut no justice, but I love all the layers

Again I have to be feeling very brave at the time, but it's SOOO cute!

Last but not least, I like the layers in her hair and I've had mine like this before


I have no idea how I am going to get it done until I get the advice of the stylist I choose.  I do know that I need to do this VERY soon, because my driver's license expires October 14th!!  So I have maybe a week.....Eeeek!!

Any opinions?  Anyone?  I surely would appreciate it!

Stuck in a Rut...

When I first started this blog, my main reason was to "find my style"or get some style :)  I was looking at a post I did a few days ago, a collective haul and realized that the majority of the clothes I buy or have in my closet are black or white, or black and white.

I have always been into fashion, thrifting, shopping and beauty products.  So now, I need to start adding color to my wardrobe.  Plus, I'm thinking of cutting my hair short.....Eeek!  Right now, it's about to my waist and so thick it gives me headaches to wear it up, but it's too heavy to wear it down.  So those are my two goals for this year, cut my hair and start changing my wardrobe by adding more color.

Here are a few hairstyles I've picked out that I would like to try:

Or I could stay with my longer hair, but of course get the dry ends cut off.  Plus get some of my layers back and maybe add bangs, so maybe something like this:

I don't have any recent pictures of me, but here's the hairstyle I've basically worn for the last 10 years, both shoulder length and to the middle of my back.  I believe this picture below was taken in 2005:

This picture below was taken in 2009, when I just let my hair go due to an illness:

And this was the last picture taken of me in 2011:

This is what it basically looks like now, but a little longer, way longer layers and not quite as healthy.

Any ideas?  

I used to have a heart shaped face, but due to recent weight gain my face is now more round.  I would love any feedback to help me make my decision :)
