All right, guys - this will have to be the world's shortest outfit post ever, because I'm so stressed out right now it's not even funny. I'm simply going to say that there are only two things I'm going to miss while I'm away: 1) my cats and 2) my wardrobe. I haven't finished packing yet but it doesn't seem like I'll fit very much into my suitcase, especially not if I want to leave some room for spontaneous shopping finds!

Aaaaaaaaah, I'm SO EXCITED - tons of butterflies in this stomach, that's for sure! Or maybe that's just the huge hamburger I just had for dinner. ;)

Oh, and about the outfit: I LOVE MY HAT! It's so floppy and fabulous and will definitely have to fit into my bag. There's always room for the things we love...

Sparkly sequins, fancy floppiness and fake fringes.

When you read this, I might very well be at Ikea, picking out their cheapest stuff for my new amazing office. Writing this, I'm kind of in a rush and will have to limit myself to telling you two things:

1) The floppy gorgeousness on my head is the most awesome hat I've ever owned and I might have to wear it with everything from now on.

2) I didn't cut my bangs. They're fake. (OK, now you're like, say whaaaaaat, and I'm like, hey, my hair looks horrible ALL THE TIME in this humid heat, why not fake it til you make it?) It's one of these clip-on fringes, and it doesn't look good whatsoever without the hat - but who cares, I'd rather keep it on anyway.

I bought the fringe before Christmas when I tried to make up my mind: I've had my bangs cut short and blunt most of my life, even though it's incredibly stupid and impractical considering how curly/wavy my hair is naturally. Last year I'd finally managed to grow them out completely, and I missed them so much, it was nuts.

I got the clip-on fringe to help me decide whether to cut my bangs or not, and since I thought I looked a thousand times better with it than without it, I just went for it. BIG MISTAKE. It's like my hair gets curlier every day and it was impossible to make the straight bangs look good (or even okay). After six months and visits to a bunch of different hairdressers, now I'm trying to grow them out again. But then I put on the clip-on fringe and the hat and immediately I can feel the thoughts being formed: Wow. That looks really good. Really, really good. Like, awesome. Maybe having bangs actually wasn't a bad idea at all. Yeah, I can feel it. It will be different this time. Different!

No. I will be strong. Just need to throw away every single pair of scissors in this house, just in case.
