A NEW HAIRSTYLE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL ALIVE
I am always encouraging everyone to try new things, get out of their comfort zone, and not get in a rut. But, I found myself in a rut, and I decided that I needed a change. Knowing you need a change, and knowing what to change, are two completely different things. Finally, I decided that the change was going to be my hairstyle…
I’ve been wearing my hair a medium length for a long time, and I feel like it is weighing me down. So, this weekend, I told Joe that I was ready to wack it all off. The last time that I cut it short, I was pregnant with my daughter and hormonal. It was not a good choice, and the results were horrible. Joe threatened me with bodily harm if I ever did that again. Lol!
Going short with my hair is not easy for me since I have thick and coarse hair. I can end up looking like a puff ball, and that isn’t the look that I am going for. So, I showed Joe a few styles, and he said that I might want to consider something that was a little longer. Then he said, “but, I know you and you’re going to do whatever you want.”
Monday afternoon, I went to the hairstylist and showed her my choice. I told her to leave it a little longer than the photo, but after looking at the finished cut, I said, “let’s go shorter.” Once she was done cutting, I started dreading seeing Joe’s reaction. Of course, he was standing outside as I pulled up, and immediately came over to my vehicle. I got out, turned around, and he started smiling. “I LOVE it!” I sure never expected that reaction from him. Sooo, are you ready to see my new haircut?
It sure is SHORT!!!
I saw this outfit online, and I loved the color combination. I don’t think that I’ve ever paired the dusty rose and taupe together before, but I definitely will again. This long v-neck duster has a relaxed fit (aka it runs big) and I am wearing a medium. However, I feel like the duster is too big on me, so a small one might have been the better choice.
I do like the length and the dramatic style of the duster. It is long-sleeved but light enough to be worn all spring.
The taupe ribbed mock neck shell is a gorgeous color. I’ve never been a fan of this color for me, but pairing it with the dusty rose is brilliant. The shell fits very nicely and doesn’t show every bump that I have. It is a good weight and it feels very luxurious when you are wearing it. I ordered a size large because I was afraid that it would be too tight. The only con that I have with the shell is that it shows my arm cleavage, but since I wouldn’t wear it without a cardigan or jacket, that isn’t a deal-breaker for me.
I thought that my Rose Quartz necklace from Kendra Scott matched this outfit perfectly! According to energymuse.com, “Rose Quartz is a powerful crystal for anyone seeking to bring more love into their life. The Rose Quartz crystal properties connect to the heart chakra, the center of love. By opening and healing your heart center, the Rose Quartz crystal healing properties guide you to deepen relationships and embrace kindness, compassion, tenderness, and love toward yourself and those around you.”
I also added my Rylan earrings, and the gold vermeil chain and cross pendant that I wear daily.
I really, really like these double strap espadrilles. They are very comfortable even though they have a 3 1/2 wedge heel. They come in two colors, but I chose the neutral color since it would go with almost anything. This is a pair that you will want to check out, especially since they are so reasonably priced. I am wearing my usual size 9, and they fit me perfectly!
Oh, how I wish that these jeans were still in stock for all of you. I love this cropped white pair of jeans, and I love the distressed hemline. I’ll link to them just in case they restock them. But, I’ll also see if I can find some similar ones for you.
Since I don’t have a photographer in Abingdon yet, this is how I have been taking my photos. I set my cellphone on a tripod, and then I connect this Bluetooth wireless clicker to my phone. This is actually a great thing for everyone to have. Think of how cool it would be to take on vacation, for photos with friends, at dinners, holidays, etc. For years, I was never in our family photos because I was behind the camera. No more!!! This makes it easy and fun!

The new hair style is classy ! It looks great on you. Just wanted to say I’ve been following your styles for a bit and they are cute and versatile. Thank you
Love the new hairstyle. Very perky. Draws the attention to your beautiful eyes.
I’m a new subscriber! Please mention how tall you are as it helps me get a better idea re-clothing and fit.
Thank you!
Welcome! I hope you love the blog and get a lot of value from it. I am 5’6” tall.
Hai cut so flattering!
I am 5’4″, would this duster be too long for me?
Love your new hair style
Love the new do! I want to see what it looks like in back! Get Joe to take a pic for us!
I kept thinking your hair looked the same! Then I saw you in the flowered top and could tell you’d cut it. I’m w Joe! I love it! Very cute & summery! Cute outfit too! So is the name of your town where new house is? Abingdon??
The short cut looks good on you! I like the flowered print top you are wearing in the picture also. What a great idea to have a wireless clicker. I think I am going to have to get one myself.
Luv the new do
Love your hair! I always think shorter hair really perk us up, every time I try to grow mine longer I feel it drags me down!!
Love your hair!… and the espadrilles!
I love your hair. Lucky you to have thick hair. I’m new to your site. I’m a lot older than you but I get fun clothing ideas from your blog.
This outfit is so cute! Anita
Love your new hair cut but would love to see it in the back.
Gurl, let me start by saying you are ROCKING that hair! What a fantastic look. Second, glad to be following your blog. You are a ray of sunshine.
Is the green top something you have styled before?it’s really cute!
Love the new cut too!😊
Love your new ‘do! Super cute!
Love, love, love the hair! Your past style was cute too, but this looks so good.
I Love your hair, it’s sassy!!!
I love your new hair cut, it’s really is so youthful, the shape is perfect for you.
The haircut looks super cute – but show us the back and sides! I’d love to see it from all sides.
Haircut is adorable! Looks great on you!
Well to add my thoughts to this mutual admiration society, I was never a fan of the old hair-do. The new cut does look fabulous. It opens your face to the light and shows off your smile. I typically wear a mid-cut myself to frame my face, almost like a portrait.
I am not a fan of dusters but the color combo is very nice.
I love your new hair cut. Stunning ❤️ I also like the taupe and dusty rose color pairing 🙌🙌. Thank you for sharing all you do.
Love the shorter hair style!! I will be making my own hair style change this weekend!! Thinking shoulder length shag!! I have not cut my hair really since covid lock down started!! Ready to start seeing more people!!
I love the pink duster and rose quartz necklace!! Great outfit!!!
That new hair style is fantastic! I maybe shouldn’t mention this but when you compare to earlier style in your post, you look even better, what a great style on you. Sassy and stylish! I’m a recent gurrl your outfits really appeal to what I like. Thanks!
Love the new cut. You instantly shed 10 years and 10 pounds!
I really like your new hair cut. The picture of you in the green blouse is stunning. I really enjoy your blog.
LOVE the new haircut especially with the sassy long bangs! Can you take a picture of the back too?
Love the new shorter cut! Wish I had the guts to do it.

I love it….it is sassy. It suits you.
I love seeing what you put together and shopping in my own closet. Lol! I did get that 20 buck purse from Walmart and love it and the flare Sophia Jeans.
I love your cute new hair cut! I do agree that a new hair cut can really make you feel great. Trying to decide what I want to do with my own hair. It’s getting too long because I have to find a new salon. Beautiful outfit too. 🤗
Wow! Have you lost weight. The new look is amazing.

It is a very cute hairstyle…edgy!!
Love the new haircut! Also, the outfit is great too!
Love the new haircut, looks great on you!!!!!
I love the new hair style. It seems to be more layered and not too short short. But you can still style it somewhat like before if you chose. I totally agree, changes are good once you get up the nerve. Being a cancer survivor who lost all of her hair… the regrowing was such fun. I actually loved being bald! Enjoy!
I love your new haircut! Please show us a view from the sides & back. Great outfit as well.
The new hairstyle is adorable, so flattering. Love it!
LOOOOOVE THE NEW HAIR STYLE!!!!
Love your hair!! Can you do a picture of the back?
Wow love the new haircut! I’ve been looking for a new look and started letting my hair grow out a few months ago but after seeing your cut I’m going back to short. I think someone else asked this but can you post a pic of the back and sides? Beautiful Tania!
Love the new hair. I keep telling my husband I want to go shoulder length and he says no. Got a haircut for next week. Oh what to do?
Yes to the haircut! Looks so chic!
Your new haircut is adorable! Really flattering. Makes you look younger!❤️
Love, love, LOVE the new hair! 💗 short & sassy
Love your hair!
Love your new cut. So polished but still edgy and fun. Keep rocking it!
Oh my gosh it must be the time of year to cut our hair because I just did the same thing! My cut is very similar to yours and I was fearing the wrath of my husband’s reaction as well. He loves it!
I love your new hairstyle!
Fabulous cut!
Love your new hairstyle Tania! I wouldn’t think to pair taupe and dusty rose but the combination works really well, especially with the beautiful necklace.
Love, love, love your hair!!! Looks fantastic!
I love love love the new shorter hairstyle!!!! Congratulations on being a brave Gurl – it suits you so well and glad you feel empowered – funny, but a new hairstyle can do that! Loving your blog always,

Love the cut! I have been wearing that cut for a couple of years now. It’s so easy to style and looks on trend. It. Might take you a while to learn how to style but once you do you will never look back!
Daring but great results! Love the hair cut. I have similar type hair. But keep mine medium in case I need a pony tail!
Luv the cut!👍🏻
Tania, your hair looks fabulous!! I am a short hair addict….I used to let it grow for MONTHS, then I would get it cut right back off!!

Love your hair!!
Hair looks Great!! Would Love to see the Side and Back pics of it !!
Love your new haircut – it is very flattering. I really like the taupe/dusty rose combo, but would never have thought to pair these two items together. What did I ever do without you??? LOL
I love your new hair style! We are under another stay at home order again so no hair cut for me for almost 3 months I’m afraid. Not pretty!
Love the short hair style. I have gone back and forth myself with hair. Change is good for all of us.
Your hair looks Great!!
I love your new “do”! I especially like the top you are wearing in the haircut photo. Can you tell me how to find one, please?
I agree 100%. Love the hair, and the top.
Your new hairstyle is gorgeous. Looks great on you.
LOVE the haircut!
I love your hair (cut)! I have thick and coarse hair too- and fear going short for the same, poof ball, reason. I saved your pic!
Darling haircut! Love it!
Love your new haircut!❤️
Love the new haircut and the outfit. Both suit you so well.
Love the new cut and I need a new cut so bad but seems even if we cut it just a little different, I still fix it the same way so it doesn’t look different. Can’t wait to see the side and back of it. I love this outfit and the colors together.
I love your new haircut! Can we see the back?
Love your new haircut, very cute!! Could you show us the back please?
Love, love, love your new haircut!! You look even younger and full of energy!!
I love your new haircut! Beautiful and spunky!
Tania- I LOVE your new hairstyle! It is very
flattering . Love all of the choices for the white jeans. And those Old Navy shoes look darling! I just picked up some mules/slides from Old Navy and I am impressed with the quality of the shoes. Immay have to pick up,those wedges!
Love your new haircut! “Arm Cleavage” LOL! I knew there had to be a name for that portion of our mature bodies that isn’t so pretty anymore. That is my problem with sleeveless styles…not necessarily my upper arms.
FYI: it is hard to see my comment in order to edit any typos.
Love your haircut. Very flattering on you!
Your hair looks awesome!!!
Your new “do” is fantastic! It makes you look so perky and young. I think it also lengthens and slims your face.
Can you tell me details on your lipstick.
Love the new hair cut…..
Love the haircut.. the whole outfit is perfect.
I love your new hairstyle! I think it gives you energy!!! Hoo! Hoo!!
Love your hair. I just ordered a tape striped cardigan and the photo showed it with rose too. Your outfit looks good. I am too short for dusters. I stick to cardigans which are my go to.
Love the hair cut! It looks amazing on you!! You’re very brave.
Your hair looks great and nice outfit.
Love your haircut!
Absolutely love your new hair style. You look amazing.
I love your haircut! It is adorable.
Tania, I love your new hairstyle!!! So flattering on you!! I love the outfit on you, too!! I’m not a fan of white pants on me, but they look great on you.
