Before and After

"Who are YOU?"

I woke up looking like this:

Which really wasn't a surprise since that has been the look I have woke up with the past three months. However, that is not how I'll look when I go to bed tonight. I have been considering a new cut or dying it for the summer. It started as a silly wondering. I wonder what I'd look like with a pixie cut or crazy long hair. It was an idea I would normally ignore.

I didn't want to make a drastic style choice that I would regret. I hear my dad saying "you know the difference between a good and bad hair cut? -two weeks."

Tomorrow is my youth group's 2nd Annual Thrift Shop Formal Banquet. The concept is everyone buys their formal (and/or ugly outfit) from a second-hand store. This might be my favouritest event EVER! The theme this year is Alice in Wonderland. I am beyond excited. I love the outfit I've put together. The dress is awesome; pictures will be share later. I paid $10 for it and found the original $250 price tag still inside! I've also crafted a neat headpiece.The preparations for the banquet gave me reason to "journey down the rabbit hole" and try a new look. The uncertainty left this morning. I called and made an appointment after work and...

Tomorrow it is off to Wonderland!
