Why:

I was playing around with layers this morning since the weather has warmed up recently. There’s really no need for a heavy coat outside, so I layered a cardigan with a blazer and my staple jeans and boots.

If I look angry in some of the pictures, it’s probably because I was making faces at my boyfriend, confused about some of the angles and ways he was taking photos. My apologies… I’m usually cranky and in a hurry in the morning, no time dilly-dallying!

I also straightened my hair today for the first time in a looooooong time, and I cannot believe how much it has grown! In June, I had a short, sharp, cropped bob haircut. I went to see my stylist and complained I my hair never grew. Well, about five months later; after countless overnight scalp treatments, vitamins, and bad-curly-hair days in Summer humidity, my hair has grown and looks so healthy!

I got so frustrated blow-drying and straightening my hair this morning, I can’t believe I used to go through that routine every day for over 8 years. My hair is so thick and full of texture it makes it very difficult to get it right. My only hope is that as it grows, the length weighs down the unruly curls to create a more relaxed and wavy look. Anyone have good recommendations for thick and textured hair?

    I’ve been in the process of growing out my hair for awhile now, too. Yours looks great straightened, but I know I wouldn’t have the patience to do that…I have stick straight hair, but pop it in hot rollers probably 60% of the time…even blow drying my hair gets annoying, and it doesn’t even take that long! Love that statement necklace!

    I know I have said this before, but you have AMAZING hair. Curly or straight. The grass is always greener, I suppose… :)

    P.S. I DM-ed you my email address again. Did you get it?

    I think your hair looks great curly, but I’m probably biased. I haven’t straightened my hair in over 4 years! I may need to hear more about these overnight scalp treatments, though…

    BTW, I sent you an email about possibly being featured in Style Sample magazine (www.stylesamplemag.com). Get in touch with me at editor@stylesamplemag.com if you’re interested!
