But to avoid the cliche that is "every new mom cuts her hair" ~ I will make little tucks here and there to give the illusion when I'm feeling especially into the look.
Bobby pins and my favorite vintage hat do the trick quite nicely. And in all honesty, I do like all of the options that come with having long hair... there's just something so damn bold, daring, and sexy about women with short hair. Wouldn't you agree?
This weekend was a bit on the chilly side here in L.A., which was perfect for pumpkin patches, baking at home, and snuggling with my little one...
And opportunities to pull out my favorite cozy gear, of course! This thrifted belt has become a major go-to piece, and I'm really glad I snagged this F21 flannel on the clearance racks last summer. I've worn it as a dress, shirt, and open cardi so far.
This big, cozy black grandpa sweater was also a thrift score and could have quite possibly been somebody's grandpa's favorite sweater. (Another reason I adore this kind of shopping ~ call me sentimental!)
If you're new to thrift store shopping, and my blog, I'll give a disclaimer right now that I am a strong believer in vintage and thrift. I truly believe that it's not only a necessity in this economy to be careful with your money, but vintage and thrift provides the opportunity to actually have a direct hand in helping the environment ~ something you can feel good about! (Imagine, shopping without guilt!)
So when you buy a designer piece or those deliciously expensive shoes (also a believer!) you know that it's a perfectly balanced wardrobe. And I'm telling you ~ more unique and interesting too!

That looks amazing! I love being able to "fake" things with my hair. I usually get bored, do something drastic and then hate it, so this is a great solution!

Oh, you pull off the fake bob so well! My hair has always been quite short until the last couple of years when I grew it out. My favorite style by far was short and spiked up in the back, with a long-swept bang in the front. Unfortunately Kate Gosselin kind of stole it. And killed it. Occasionally I get the urge to chop it all off again, but I love having the diversity of long hair. I haven't tried a fake bob yet, but now you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your take on thrift shopping. I've never been, but I have every intention of giving it a try soon!
What a cute outfit! I love how fallish it is, from the cardigan to the hat. You look lovely yourself too!

I loved Natalie in that movie, I definitely think you could pull it off! Especially if you've already done it and loved it (I unfortunately don't have the guts) ;)

Ooh the short style really suits you. You have the perfect head shape and beautiful strong face to pull off a bob. Lucky girl!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit, it is so effortlessly elegant and yet so incredibly casual. The cardigan with the flannel is just genius. I may have to copy this look this fall! xo
I absolutely love the hat on you and the faux bob illusion it created. It's easy to see how a bob would be wonderful on you - and why you'd be tempted. Your plaid is awesome!! Totally has me doing the old mental rolodex of my closet!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Carrie
Beautiful cardigan!
ReplyDeletethe faux bob is a great idea - at least you know if you were to decide to cut it "for real," you'd look fab!
ReplyDeletevery cute!
ReplyDeletethe ring is from topshop!
and the nailpolish is from chanel, it's called particulere.

Short hair would be incredibly flattering on you! I vote for cutting it again one of these days!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this outfit. It looks incredibly comfortable, yet stylish - a hard combination to pull off sometimes!
you are just lovely! what a perfect fall outfit.
ReplyDeletei love your outfit

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more!! I have a vintage clothing shop & I try to buy as much as I can from thrift shops. I love that most of them also support a good cause like rehabilitation programs, churches, etc.
Also you are drop dead gorgeous & congrats on your little one! :)
Thanks for visiting my blog. Now I've discovered yours too! Gonna follow you.
