Conversation #149b: A haircut

I wanted to separate this post out from the one that just posted because they are just on completely different spectrums. So I haven't had my haircut in 8 months. I don't normally go that long unless I am really trying to grow my hair out (which I did only once). I got it cut back in August and meant to again before the holidays, but then it got busy. Then I was pretty much sick the entire month of January. Then I started studying for the PE exam. Then it is today.

As you might imagine, my hair is out of control! I don't blow dry it much so it doesn't take a huge beating most days and stays relatively healthy. However, the humidity has been pretty crazy here and my curly out of control mane has looked awful down and curly. I either put it up everyday or straighten because I feel like too much of a mess to go to work otherwise.

Therefore, I am getting my haircut tomorrow morning!!!

Here is what I am thinking (same cut, I think, but different views):

Here is a sort of current picture of my hair:

(I didn't feel awesome this day and went home sick, so I look a little messy)

Outfit breakdown (my attempt at pattern mixing):

Dress, Lands End Canvas, $35

Red Striped Blouse, Lands End Canvas, $12

Belt, Coldwater Creek, $10

Navy suede ballet flats, Lands End Canvas, $15

Not the best picture of my hair, and my hair is longer and even more out of control than that. It just looks messy and I'm ready for a change. THOUGHTS?!!

A Conversation about Babies

(Picture from here .) I think everyone I know has just had a baby, is going to have a baby, or wants to have a baby! Is there something wrong with me? I want children, with my whole heart. I really look forward to being a mom someday and more and more I hope to be able to stay home with my children. The thing is, I can wait right now. I don’t have baby fever. I feel too young. I’m only 25 – how could I possibly know how to care for a child yet; I can barely take care of my husband, dog, and me. I guess what I’m wondering is should that itch be there? Should I be craving to be a mother? Does this mean my maternal instincts are off? I just feel like an older (and hopefully more mature and less selfish) version of me would make a better mother. Plus, the husband isn’t even out of law school yet! I think about my future children: their looks, personality. In my dreams I love being pregnant (I hope that is true, but the labor part still terrifies me). I know I’ll love sewing l...

Conversation #19: A blast from the past – Monday Movie Review

Ever since the hubby and I ended our blockbuster subscription, we have really not watched too many movies. Honestly, he has been so busy that we just haven’t had the time. However, my amazing in-laws have been entertaining me during this bar exam review time, and we went to see the Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Saturday. (Picture from here .) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was exciting and thrilling, and in my opinion, I’m not sure I would take a really young child to it (maybe 10 and older…) It kept my attention, and I don’t think that it drug on too long either. Sometimes I think these epic type movies go on and on and on, but this ended at a nice time, and it had the most adorable bulldog in the cast, too! I definitely recommend it! (Picture from here .) We also recently watched The Paper Chase . I guess this movie itself is kind of blast from the past – 1973 to be exact. Our neighbor actually dropped it in our mailbox as ...

Conversation #123: Open to Interpretation

First, I apologize for two posts today. The other one was supposed to post yesterday. I wrote it during lunch, but it didn't post properly. Oh well. So I started reading Kayla's blog during her last wardrobe challenge, and I loved it. I also loved when she and Amy and Erica started doing this series called Open to Interpretation. I have no idea why, but I never thought of taking an outfit I saw in a catalog or a magazine and then recreating it or something like it with what I already own. This has really helped me not only stretch my closet but also push me to try some new fashiony things (without going out to spend a ton of money). Here is the photo inspiration (I just copied it from Kayla's blog): And here is my interpretation: Outfit breakdown: Sweater - Old Navy, $8 Striped Shirt - LOFT (from the event last week), $20 Pink pants - JCPenney, Juniors section (don't tell Stacey and Clinton), $10 Leather Oxfords - J.Jill, $30 Mine is...
