I mentioned a few days ago that I was having some issues with unexplained hair loss. I went to the doctor today and he said it was hormonal and would last about six months. Considering this, I decided to cut my hair. I want my hair to have a chance to all grow out the same when it does come in. So, I didn't just cut it short, I cut it all off. It was a hard thing to do, but I try to take it in stride. At least I will get to give all kinds of styles and hair colors a try since I will be moving to wigs. Although this was a difficult choice, my family was great. They were supportive and understanding.
My Outfit
Earlier today this is what I looked like. I went to lunch with two of my good friends. I had a blast! Thank you
Gwynnie Bee for the skirt. The sweater is Old Navy. My scarf and purse were vintage/retro.

Pearls & Paws
Thank you! I have to admit, smiling made this whole thing possible. If I thought of this as a hardship, I'd cry. Instead, I think of it as a chance to have purple hair! (wig)
DeleteWow! i wish I could rock the short hair like you do!
ReplyDeleteFound you thanks to twitter (you RT'd one of my tweets! Thanks) and figured I'd check out your blog and am glad I did!
