Sometimes change... is not so good.

Today I decided to try something new with my hair. I was inspired by Syndney over at The Daybook. Although I am not as young and cute as she is I really wanted to try out her cute hairdo. (Besides the reason I got these fun extensions was so I could experiment.)

I parted my hair in the middle, and dried my bangs forward instead of to the side. I then curled the bottom in big curls. As I was drying my hair, I saw it! There smack dab in the middle of my head was a gray hair! Yikes! I have parted my hair on the side for years, so I have not seen this little beauty. I was hoping against hope that I would not go gray for a few more years. The truth is I am approaching 40 and I expect things like this to happen, but you are just never prepared.

To top it all off, when I walked downstairs my daughter gave me a strange look and said, "You look...weird." Since that is the only adjective she uses to describe me, I am not shocked. But whatever, I am rockin this hairstyle today, so get used to it!





Sweater: Target, T-shirt: American Eagle, Scarf: AE again, Jeans: Silver, Shoes: Shoe Carnival, Watch: Disneyland!, Earrings and Ring: Lia Sophia. (Yes, my hands are in some serious need of lotion!)

    I'm almost 40 as well, and it's good to hear that when my 14 year old daughter looks at me weird I'm not alone. I love the way u mix different styles. It appears as if u shop like I love to shop. I just get what I like and wear it, FORGET WHAT'S ON TREND!!!

    I honestly think your bangs look cute like this!! Oh, I'm only 28 and I've had gray hairs popping up like crazy lately. I'm associating it with a home remodel and craziness at work...my Mom went gray young so I'm not surprised!! :(
