So I know it’s September now, but did I mention I had a birthday in August? Cuz I did. I’m at a stage in life where I’m still young enough that I want people to know it’s my birthday and shower me with gifts and compliments, but I’m old enough that I don’t want people to ask too many questions. Suffice it to say I had a birthday and it was lovely. I took a little pre-birthday trip to NYC (more on that later), but my actual birthday was a Monday, which I spent at work. I went for a mature yet playful combo of a navy dress with tassel earrings – sort of a business in the front, party in the back situation.

I’ve had a couple weeks now to acclimate to my new age – ahem, don’t ask too many questions, remember? – and it seems to be OK so far. Here’s to another swell year.

Oh hey, did I mentioned I chopped my hair off? Because I chopped my hair off. For absolutely no reason except that I thought to myself a few hours before my appointment: “Hey…what if I chopped my hair off?” So I did. It’s sassy and I like it.

So if I seem extra snarky now, just blame it on the hair. I have no control over what these locks do. (No seriously, I can use the same products and styling tools and it looks different every time. I don’t get it.)
