WIWT: Flowers in her hair...

Well, I made good on yesterday's promise to stick some cherry blossoms in my hair.
            

No, I'm not channeling my inner Lana Del Rey...

LMAO

I'm trying to make myself feel better and more Spring-y to take the focus off of the Sahara Desert that is currently residing in my chest.  It feels so dry and full of sand and it's making me completely miserable!  Not to worry - I've also been distracting myself with my pretty necklaces.


I took a cue from last night's Project Runway All-Stars and decided I would layer some fancy looking necklaces to exude the "rich girl" vibe.  The necklace with the red heart, black chain and black cabochon with the bow in the center is a 3 tiered Betsey Johnson necklace my Mom gave me for Christmas - which I LOVE.  The gold Y-necklace with the humungous crystal in the middle is a...wait for it..."Official" replica from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn movie.  I'm guessing it's from Part 2 since I didn't see it at all during Part 1 and I made it a point to wear it to Part 1 because I thought I'd be seeing it then.  Once you get over the fact that it's Twilight-related you have to admit that it's pretty badass, right? YES!
Everyone at work loves the flowers and the necklaces today!

I also decided to wear my favourite "fashionista" wedges (that were a total impulse buy). 

I got them because I really liked the design, they were on sale and they are a little outside the box for my personal style.  And because of that last bullet point, I have a hard time styling them.  Today's outfit was fun though!  Heather was giving me major shoe envy with her sky high heels today!

Don't let this photo fool you! They look shorter than they actually are. These puppies are super high!  Almost as high as my sliver heels, if not the same height!  I wish I could comfortably wear those to work.  LOL.  I don't think anyone would believe they were mine!

This post was really an excuse to use the new Blanko Freedom 13 film that Hipstamatic came out with today.  I had already downloaded the Americana lens last week with their Free Pak but I have to say that I enjoy the Freedom 13 film with the Tejas lens a little more.  This weekend will give me some good opportunities to experiment (I hope!).

Do you have any special, fun plans this weekend?

GPOYW --> Getting girly!

I found a way to incorporate my Oxfords and my glitter collar today!  I'm so happy the way my outfit turned out!  I've been getting non-stop compliments from everyone on my ensemble - especially the collar!



I was also able to upgrade my phone last night so I could rock my sweet sweet Jolie Petite case!

It's also getting lots of compliments!

I'm feeling extra girly today!  Too bad I can't dress like this all the time.  Maybe before each filming, I should pick a day to be extra girly at work.  No one ever expects that out of me since I'm always in casual clothes.  Sounds like a plan!

Rebeling for the sake of my lost youth spent in the background

Okay - call me a hypocrite.  I don't care.

In 2009, I wrote a little blurb about Cassie and her undercut.



I had some very Mom things to say about it too - including such greatest hits as:
*Comb-overs are awesome?
*It's going to take FOREVER to grow back
*It's not going to grow back pretty

Well, guess who was going through an existential crisis last Friday and decided she would "cut the crazy out" of her hair?

THIS BITCH RIGHT HERE
 
Yeah.  And what?   I ain't even mad.

Honestly, I had a little one inch piece already shaved in and Malcom (the stylist at Toni and Guy) said, "If you're going to have an undercut, you need to go all the way.  Are you ready to go all the way?"  Um...hell yes.  Why not?!  I can't dye my hair until all the damaged parts are cut out (Thanks PA...) so cutting my hair is the next thing.  Besides, I always seem to cut my hair when I'm suffering so I guess you can say that I'm suffering pretty hard since I had to shave half of it off...true story.

Apparently Hayley Williams had the same idea:

Does that make us besties?  Yes, yes it does...LOLZ.  Hayley, you rock!

I guess you can say that I'm trying to catch up to my younger days.  Do I smell a mid-life crisis coming on?  Maybe.  But I feel like I was such a fucking square when I was younger - this realization has become very clear to me now on more than one occasion - and I think I'm trying to rebel.  To a certain degree, that is.  It's just hair.  It grows back.  Just like the pink hair, this will pass.  I don't want to call it a phase but whatever it is, it's temporary.  And I'm pretty sure the pink hair will return, just maybe not so all-over.  I can't take that much maintenance.  And because mortality has been on my mind since I decided to make this trip, I feel like my motto will now be: You only live once. I've also been living by No Regrets since my Mom and I had an in depth conversation about that a few years back...I guess I'm a late bloomer but you know what?  I'm embracing it.
