Would Stacey London Put My Crocs in the Trash?

Style and trends and not my forte. Not by a long shot; I’ve always been a t-shirt and jeans kinda gal. Can’t help it, I wasn’t raised by fashion conscious people, I lived in the sticks and now? I just suck.

There. I said it. I suck.

I will never be Stacey London. (Stacey. I love you. CALL ME! I could desperately use your advice. Yes, you can bring Clinton along…)

I’ve been trying, slowly to become a little more daring with my hairstyle (I figured I’d start there) since I typically wear my hair up in a messy bun. (Typically? Read: ALWAYS) and threw in some highlights, then lowlights, then chunky lights. I cut off seven inches and now? Now I am thinking a medium length angled bob with…

*deep breath*

*exhale*

BANGS.

I haven’t had bangs since I was eight years old. I remember how painful it was growing them out then, but hell, I was EIGHT. What the hell did I know about cute clips, headbands and whatever.

(Ya, still don’t know. But I can learn!)

I’ve slowly been working towards this. I went from all one length, to fringe, then side swept bangs… now I figure it’s time to go all out.

Bangs.

Wow.

My last cut I went for this Jessica Simpson-like shoulder length cut (removing seven inches of hair!!!)

I really liked it, but it just wasn’t styled like this (ever) and looked cute, but child-like cute.

I’m thinking maybe the same blunt cut at the bottom, but Reese-like bangs??

My natural colour is an ash blonde, which is not so favourable since it just looks greasy and washed out. (which it’s not really because I do occasionally shower.) It’s not the bright, white/ash blonde it was as a child. Seriously, I wish I had photos… it was like this:

(I was cuter though, sorry kid. It’s true)

Now? Not so much…. so I’m going darker - about a shade darker than my natural colour and with chunky blonde highlights randomly throughout.

I can invision it, I just pray it works. I know, it’s just hair and it’ll grow back (but! Not before Friday when I leave for the BlogHer ReachOut Tour in Boston. *wOOt*)

(But more to come on that later.)

My appointment’s on Monday morning and I’m still unsettled on whether or not I go with bangs.

*sigh*

Then? After? Shop.

(Maybe something coordinating for baby and me?)

I desperately need pants since the only jeans that fit at maternity and I’m nearly FIVE FUCKIN’ MONTHS postpartum. I have no idea where to start because, like I said: I HAVE NO FASHION SENSE.

Are flares still in?

Do I have to succumb to the ’skinny jeans’?

What about boot cuts? Does that mean I need some heels?

Mah brainz r swirling with the ideaz.

Maybe I’ll just wear my pink crocs.
