Haven't I always had short hair?

"Well, this is taking longer than I was expecting. I'm going to have to start asking when I set up an appointment if it's a trim or a transformation." - Rob, my hair stylist

This is the correct week to make the leap from long to short.

Here's yesterday-


And now today-


And I'm feeling like it's always been this way.

Looks fantastic. Totally one of those hip mommas rockin' the short 'do. Awesome.

Also, from my perspective? You have always had short hair - you have always had long hair. You are infinite and varied, and always gorgeous.

Thanks :)
I think there's something about going back to a haircut that one had when you first met someone. When I met you (and QE) I was in this mode. I think there's some nostalgia factor.

So very much loving the change, from the first second.

wow, you look GREAT. :)

[mizarchivist]

Thanks :)

Short looks better!! Love it! It's also better mom hair. Baby can't grab and pull. :-)

[mizarchivist]

Oh yeah. And this whole heat/humidity thing- I may have done it no matter what my gestational status.

Oh! OH! You look SMOKIN'. A SMOKIN' HAWT MOMMA.

Fabulous look for you. ;-D

Soon more pics with my gorgeous magenta dress!
Thanks, darlin'

Awesome!

I don't think I"m brave enough to ever consider short hair again. The last time I had short hair I was 15

[mizarchivist]

Anything is possible with the right stylist, but for me the long hair mostly felt temporary- a brief diversion before I went back to what I feel is a bit more normal.
(Conveniently I still have all these icons of me with it in short state. )

Awesome!

And I'm feeling like it's always been this way.

Yeah, that’s my mental image of you, too. Well, modulo the wonderful belly. :-)

[mizarchivist]

Yep, you're one of the people who met me earliest and that's totally what my hair was :)

Looks great! :)

I had mine cut last week, too...probably took off about a foot. The impetus was part "it's been nearly 2 years and it's way overdue," part "it's hot out," part "I need something low-maintenance," and part, "if I don't do it now, it'll be like another year before I get around to it." :)

[mizarchivist]

I hope it helped!
Hope everything is going well at the mo'.

[hammercock.livejournal.com]

It did! My hair looks a lot nicer now and requires very little maintenance.

I finally had the Cervadil inserted a little while ago. Now we wait until tomorrow morning, to give it a chance to work before using pitocin.

[pisicutsa.livejournal.com]

Nice! I must admit that no matter how long it got, I still think of it as short.

[mizarchivist]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[coraline]

i was just thinking that -- i'm not sure if it's because of how it was when i met you, but the second definitely looks more "you" to me than the first (even though they both look good!)

Looks great!

[mizarchivist]

Thanks

I meant to tell you today how wonderful your hair looks but I find myself distracted with Lexi when I'm alone for some reason... :-)

You look marvelous!

[mizarchivist]

Well, Lexi is properly distracting. It was lovely to see you and thanks.

[kebbykate.livejournal.com]

Looked great, as I think I told you today. It's also my mental image of you--probably because it's what you had when we were in grad school and I've gone years at a time without seeing you.

If you look at my userpic, taken when I was 4 or 5, you can see that I've pretty much had the same hairstyle my whole life.

[mizarchivist]

Yep- that's your haircut. It works.

I can totally picture Rob saying that

[drwex]

I wasn't sure if you were still going there.

Anyway, as I said, totally a "mom" cut in at least two senses. Glad you like it.
