experimenting with extremes. denim.

thanks to everyone for the kind words about my haircut.
i'm so behind on my posts that maybe by the time i get thru the older posts, my new haircut will have grown out a bit.
i kid, i kid.
this is the new cut.
it was just a trim, and it's not that bad.
four inches off the bottom and way-too-short-bangs later,
she basically cleaned it up...got rid of all the stragglies and evened out the layers. guess that's what i liked about my hair before, the stragglies and imperfect shape.

continuing on with extremes, this edition is all out denim.
the trick here is getting the right balance. since my denims were similar in color, the torn, rolled-up jeans were less overwhelming by allowing some skin to peek thru. contrasting denims would give a similar visual break.

this extreme stuff has been a fun challenge. in fact, if anyone cares to give it a try, i have extreme stripes coming up next. email me if you dare.

charlize theron in extreme denim.

Great look! I've been loving the denim on denim trend. Totally envious of the Mulberry/Target patent satchel. I regret not buying it when it was in stores.

I think your hair looks good! But I know what you mean about liking the stragglies hah. My hair is uneven and wild and sometimes I contemplate getting it trimmed and cleaned up and... I just can't bring myself to mar my hippie-hair with a trim hah.

Darn, I don't own anything stripey. Or even all that much denim. Hm. Wardrobe gaps. Thrifting seems to be called for!

district5 said...

Yes, I know what you mean...hair cuts is also a big topic for me ;)
I like your casual outfit. The ring is so cool.
