Pretty Boy

115 Comments Edit

So, I cut my hair again--after my initial change from long hair to a bob this didn't feel drastic. Although, I am slightly afraid of looking like a boy from behind and I wore one of my most feminine dresses on the day of my haircut to balance it out. I've been trying to wear more pants this fall, but I might start wearing them more infrequently than ever now! These pictures were literally snapped a few minutes after my cut, so I still have to wash it and style it on my own to see what it will really look like. Anyway, here I am with the new cut; I really like it and I do hope it means even less work in the morning, although I'll probably start having to wear more scarves to keep my neck warm!

Outfit details:
H&M cardigan
vintage dress
Ferragamo flats
vintage Coach purse

    Oh, you look so petite on the last photo. And your hair is gorgeous. I liked the previous style too, but this is great. I'd like to cut my hair this short sometime.

    This is so beautiful! It's the most drastic of them all! It looks fantastic on you :) How do you feel about having so many different haircuts in a years time? (I think that's awesome and brave!)

    Eeeee! This makes me miss my pixie cut (had that 3 years ago). One thing I can say is that I discovered it was WAAAY less fluffy after washing if I let it airdry instead of blowdrying. My favorite product for "finishing" and adding texture is No. 4 Glossy Modeling Putty for Wizards by Davines. It didn't build up in my hair (I don't wash everyday). Have fun with the new cut!

    That last picture looks out of a vintage movie or something. Lovely!

I have a feeling I'll be chopping at some point. You look so so cute with your new haircut though. I don't think it's too boyish at all so don't be afraid to wear pants!

    I love it! My friend suggested that I should do the same. I did and it looks smashing! Thank you so much!
