styling

I know months ago I ranted about my hair not growing fast enough so I can do an awesome hair flip (and some funky hairstyles).

I so badly want long hair, but I have to do something before I get there right? I mean, for years now, I’ve always cut my hair at the beginning of the year. (I could show you but I’m still sick and I’m too lazy to get up and look for my hard drive and hook it up here and… you know the story).

Lately, I’ve been contemplating bangs.

Yep, the full fringe effect. However the downside is Dylan doesn’t like bangs. He finds them purposeless even though I’ve repeatedly told him it frames the face most of the time. The full fringe might just make me feel like a rockstar (not that I am not hahahahaha). But after a quick survey among friends, they don’t think it’s for me. Moks, on the other hand, has been insisting on an Amanda Seyfried look.

Problem is I’m not feeling it. I did a quick scan in the Internet and I pretty much have the same face shape as Michelle Williams, with the cheeks and the meaty chin and all.

So I thought, let’s do a Dawson’s Creek throwback!

But then I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THAT HAIRCUT! I just want my hair to be long already. This awkward phase is just bothering me.

Maybe I should just pull an Olivia Palermo. Length, color and volume. What do you think?

I think I have to come to accept the fact that even though what I wear in the office is appropriate, it is endlessly boring. If someone were to observe my daily stylings, that person would say I have taken my liking for gray to a whole new level. The only window of creativity that I often work around is the fact that I purposely use my shoes to accentuate whatever it is I’m wearing.

I mean, even Carrie Bradshaw would roll her eyes at me and say I am putting too much pressure on my shoes to make my outfit stylish.

Chictopia is always there to the rescue. It is filled with endlessly stylish people and I find myself often in awe at how creative they get. In short, I believe I need another trip to the neighborhood seamstress to fix me up some of these things. (Recent weight gain has prevented me from fitting outfits that are not labeled S or M. So I’m in denial. Won’t you be?)

: Now, who wouldn’t love an amazing printed blazer?!

: In any other day, I would avoid pink like the plague. But I believe because of this outfit, I have completely changed my mind about it. :)

: And here I thought orange seems so prisonlike. Don’t you just love how the color just pops off the page?

: I’ve always known I would need a double breasted blazer soon enough. I absolutely adore the color blocking!

: I knew I loved peach even before this. :)

So from the looks of it, I just have my new Monday to Friday look. Hahahahaha. I can so feel HR people rolling their eyes at my choice of color. But really, who wouldn’t love the chicness of all these? I so want to run to the fabric store already. Now, to hunt for that seamstress…
