stripes on linen

3.05.2012






Madewell dress. Vintage hat and belt. Proenza Schouler shoes.


Here are the extensions in all its glory. It was fun for a while given the sudden opportunity to try out hair styles I couldn't do with short hair. For one, I think hats look way cooler with longer hair. I've also been told that long hair makes me look 10 years younger which is also a perk, for you know, embracing my inner-tween. But given the fact I had recently colored my hair black again, it was particularly unsettling to see a different person in my reflection.

Anyway, wearing a dress I bought in New York. Really into the 50s dress silhouette right now. Scrounging eBay and thrift stores for more closet options. Sort of like this one I used to own, except I regretfully copped it on Shop Chic. I am such a sell out!! Speaking of... more things in the shop soon.

One more thing, I will close the giveaway today. Get your entries in before it's too late!

Holy geez. You are stunning! Both short and long hair suit you well, but it's definitely fun to see a different look. And the dress is ridiculously cool - I would definitely wear it all summer long even though that would be gross.

Your extensions are good! I would not have realized you had them in if you hadn't made the claim in the first sentence. I agree, the long her makes you look younger, but the short hair is so sophisticated on you! Guess, you can play around for whatever mood you're in, lucky for you both lengths work in your favor!

Very cute dress and love the fabulous shoes.

Ha, so weird, I was the one who bought that dress from your Shop Chic site! I still have it, and, uh...still haven't worn it. It doesn't fit. Do you want it back? I don't remember how much I paid you, but I'd work out a deal. Let me know!

Had to do a double take! Those extensions look rad! You look younger. Can't tell which one I like more, but you have a universal head that makes any haircut short or long doable.
