With fall “officially” here, I felt like I needed a change. Sure, I switched out the summer clothes and brought in the fall ones, but that’s never enough.
It was time…for a real change.
I had a hair appointment booked, and of course, when I called to make the appointment, I explained that it would just be my hair color and not a cut. You don’t have to give me a lecture about it, because I know that it’s so important to cut your hair regularly, especially when you have fine hair like I do. I just hate getting it cut because I always regret it!
I’m not even sure why I started looking online at shorter hair styles, but I did. Then I started to think that maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to get a proper hair cut.
So, I did!
I’m sure some people would say that it’s not actually “short,” but for me, it’s a BIG deal, okay?! It’s shorter in the back than in the front, so curling it is something I need to work on again.
Overall, I know it was the right thing to do. I love the darker look for fall, and it’s healthier looking.
One of my favorite things about a new hair color and style, is feeling like you look different in the clothes that you already have. For me, I love the contrast of darker hair with beiges and creams, so earlier in the week, I dusted off one of my cozy sweaters that had some of these shades.
Outfit Details:
Sweater – Dex via The Bay
Jacket – Danier
Tank – Joe Fresh
Jeans – Gap
Boots – Frye
Necklace – The Bay
Bag – Roots
I hope you’re all having a great weekend! I have my softball play offs and while it’s been an awesome first couple of games, I’m never happy to put my gear away for the long winter! Fingers crossed that we take it all this year…

Good for you! My hair is like my security blanket. It definitely needs cut….

Way to go for a new do! I like how it looks, the dark color suits you and so does the shorter length π

Shorter hair probably suits me more, but I have such an attachment to longer hair! Time to get over that…for now π
laters,coco. says
Its really pretty π
I changed my hair from really light blonde into a dark brown about two years ago.
I just wanted a change and now I like my dark hair so much that I just stayed with it π
But its true, you have a completely different feeling with another hair cut or colour!
Lots of love, coco.
Jackie says
Dark hair is also so much easier to manage! At least you know that if you decide to change something, either works for you!

Thanks so much for the comment on my blog!! Loving this cozy sweater, such a fun piece.
I get the parts I want red bleached out a bit first, then only wash it in cold water. It’s a brand of vibrant dye called special effects!
Jackie says
I’ve heard of that before, but didn’t put it together. Thanks for sharing π

I can feel you about going into a salon and staff are starting to lecture you about your hair before saying what you really want to do with it haha! Well, short hair for me is chic and crisp but haven’t tried it yet and no plan to try it. π Love your bag here by the way, suits the fall vibes. Catch me on my blog on Smize with Style.
