New hair - another haircut

Hi Guys!

Didn't think I'd be posting anything like this again so soon but last month (end of April) I had another haircut!

It doesn't really translate in pictures but it is short.

I kinda hate it. I kinda really hate it. My dad keeps calling me Auntie and finds it hilarious :(  It doesn't suit my face shape or hair type and funnily enough, this length is really high maintenance.

It gets greasy soooooo quick and needs a lot of straightening. I can't do anything with it a part from have it down. Even when I'm at home I can only top knot the top part. I have to sleep with it out which I hate, but the only way I can tie it all up is by the nape of my neck which then means my stubby ponytail digs into the back of my head when I sleep.

But I'm happy I did this because......it made me feel a bit adventurous. I've been literally wrapped in my comfort blanket of hair for so long, it feels really refreshing to throw that blanket off and face the world.

And of course, hair grows. And mine is growing at a good rate so hopefully by June it'll be nearer to shoulder length and a bit more flattering.

(On a side note - my hair stylist was really impressed with my home dye job!)

Short trench coat, short hair

Hi Guys.

I think I've become addicted to Zara. Blame my parents, they love Zara. Ok, two coats doesn't make an addiction - but I can see this situation spiralling out of control.

So as well as my gorgeous wrap around wool coat I've also picked up this short beige trench cat? jacket? mac? in the Zara sale. Full rrp was £69.99, and I got it for £39.99. I don't think this is a bargain even reduced, but it was just too cute to pass by. I just imagine myself skipping to work and dancing on the tube station platform in this light jacket with some really cute shoes on......mmmmmmmmmmmmm 

Here's some action shots of my new short hair (to bulk up the post in all honesty).

This is me and my cool hair drinking costa coffee. A caramel latte. Long hair Penny never got to drink Costa. 

Short hair me getting some kissing action. My hair makes me feel so light and carefree. Peace and love man, peace and love.

Short hair Penny contemplating a little fringe. But I am not that cool so don't worry. Also, my new hair cut really compliments my natural hair colour. As soon as I got it cut people keep asking if I've dyed my hair (and left the greys???) but I guess the bleach and mass of hair just detracted from what was there.

This pic is a bit crap - but it shows that the ombre is definitely gone. I do miss my hair, and the brightness of the ombre. Without the big hair and orange my wardrobe is looking really ...tired. So boring. My hair was an accesory in itself so I am having to learn how to dress all over again....sometimes it's a chore but a lot of the time it is really fun. 

I got my hair cut!

Before

After

Hi Guys!

As the title would suggest - I got my hair cut. It was quite a last minute decision but I last got it cut in May so it was about time. The before and after pics don't show very well how much I got cut off - about 4 inches, but I think you can see it's less straggly!!! Because a lot of the dead bits have been chopped off my hair is so much more manageable. 

The bigget problem I'm having is that I can't do my bedtime bun anymore, as the back is too short, so I've been testing out some other bedtime hairstyles? Whaddya think? LOL
