I wore my hair short and dyed it red for decades. I had been cutting and coloring it for so long that I'd actually kinda forgotten what its natural state was. So I stopped dying it and let it grow. I'm happy with the color as God intended it, but the length ... Eh. My hair has become a high-maintenance mass of cowlicks and unruly curls and they have to go. This Saturday morning. Snip, snip. Bye bye.
My search for an example of what I want to show the stylist had me landing in KatieLand with both feet. I really like the no-muss, no-fuss style Katie Holmes wears. But she's much younger than I am. I was afraid I'd look tragically jeune fille.
Then I saw what that other Katie was up to. Katie Couric is older than I am, and she looks just fine.
So now I have a plan. I just wish I didn't have to wait until Saturday. Once I make up my mind about these things, I want to do them NOW.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I'm the same way. Once I've made up my mind, I want to do it NOW.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you've found the look you want. Have a great time Saturday getting your haircut. You can use the time to really pamper yourself!
Both are great cuts.
ReplyDeleteI think you should get a pedi/mani while you're at it and go to the Mall and shop. Nothing speaks shopping like a new look.
ReplyDeleteWaiting to hear about Bruce...did you touch him? How far away were you?
(that was really a juvenile question.I'll just be leaving now)
I agree with Mimi, make it a day of pampering - we always deserve that.
ReplyDeleteBeen waiting for your post on Elizabeth Edward's new book. What are your thoughts?
