Wordless Wednesday {almost}

Her daddy says every time she comes to Texas she goes back to Arkansas with a lot less hair!

Braided Headbands - Short Hair - Review

Don't you just LOVE all the braided looks for long hair? Now that I have cut all of my long hair off - I can't really do those hairstyles and I especially love the side fishtail braid. I am so jealous of all you long hair people but I still really like having my shorter hairstyle.

However,  I found a remedy that takes care of some of that jealousy - and I can feel like I am still "in" even with my short hair.

I bought my braided headband at Sallys Beauty Supply and it matches my hair color perfectly.
Right now my hair is really short in the back so I have to work at it a little to make sure it doesn't show the band. Once it is in place, it feels pretty good. I like how it gives me a little extra lift in back, too!
Bellissima Braided Headband
There are 6 colors available. Cost $10.00
 Ginger Blonde is my color

OOTD Tuesday - Bobcat Pride

Today we have Benchmark testing at school so the relaxed look is in. I am wearing my glitzy Bobcat T-shirts with my black Coach boots - (my very very favorite boots) and a faded denim Ralph Lauren skirt. I even have my little paw print earrings on today!

The T-shirt was made by order since our mascot is the Bobcat - I bought the skirt on e-bay a couple of years and my earrings came from a fundraiser.

Go Bobcats!

Changing Hairstyle Trauma

I want to change my hairstyle. I want to, but it is just not that easy for me. It sounds crazy, I know - and believe me - when I hear myself talk about it - I know it is ridiculous. I envy those girls who can just walk in to a salon and pick a new do. First, I have to think about it, then I have to look at about 100 styles, think about it some more, get a gazillion opinions, think about it some more, then IF I actually get as far as making an appointment - I pretty much scare the poor soul who is about to cut my hair half to death with my wild eyed look and my hyperventilation.
I know where my drama - stress comes from - I can pinpoint it to the exact moment! I was 10 years old. I had long, pretty hair. My mom worked night shift. My dad had to get my sister and I off to school. Dad gets tired of dealing with 2 girls with long, tangling hair in the mornings. Dad takes  girls to get hair cut. Problem solved - and I looked like a BOY! Not just a little bit - a lotta bit! All the way off - like as in Mia Farrow in RoseMary's Baby off! Pair that with a flat chest, no make-up age - BOY! I had to wear a headband every day just to be able to half way look like a girl. UGH! Trauma - I was NOT cute at all. :-(

Sooooooo...Right now I have been in the "thinking" stage for about a week. I have looked at 100's of hairstyles...I have the hairstyle I want. I love it.
- NOW all I have to do is make that appointment! My heart is pounding.....
