So, new fringe is probably extremely anticlimactic to all of you, but it's amazing what a difference even a little change can make to your whole outlook. Frankly, I don't miss my forehead:
Button-up: American Apparel
Jeggings: J.Crew Sale ($20)

Vintage Manolo Kitten Heels: Swapped!
So last Saturday I went to the salon Chris's step-mom owns to get my eyebrows done, and walked out with bangs! I had been thinking about it for a long time, I needed a change but didn't necessarily want to cut any length off, bangs are perfect for that. I used to be so carefree about my hair and would change it constantly, but it became harder and harder to do anything drastic as it got longer. I really love the end result, I'm still re-learning how to style them (I was growing out a similar style when i started Orchid Grey), but i think they look nice.
This is the kind of outfit I would wear everyday if I worked from home, comfy classic. I had the day off today and unfortunately spent most of it on the internet, which I didn't intend to do. It's too easy to get wrapped up blog-land! Anyways, I went with an oversize denim button-up and easy jean-leggings. To fancy it up a bit, I added one of most amazing swap finds yet: a pair of vintage two-tone Manolo Blahnik kitten heels. I. Love. Them. This is a perfect example of why I don't write commentary on the Spring or Fall collections, two months ago I found the kitten heel trend abhorrent, aaaaand now I'm wearing some, lesson learned (or not learned because I didn't say anything!). My tastes change constantly. You probably won't find me buying tons of kitten heels, but I like the length they add to my legs.
I'm so happy it's almost the weekend, it's been a really rough week and I just want to spend it how I usually do: at home. I'm so exciting, aren't I?
Goodnight! Don't forget to enter the giveaway!

Yay for fringes! I got mine cut a month ago and frickin love it. And I don't miss my forehead either.
I find it so easy to get wrapped up in blogland too. I think your new haircut really suits you, you look just lovely!

Julie, you look gorgeous with bangs!! Love love love them. I am growing mine out at the moment but seeing you rocking them..hmm maybe cut them again :)
And I think it's good for you as a person to constantly change your tastes...because you're constantly evolving and growing into a better person.
very Bardot! I like!! kind of 70's chic with your septum piercing throwing in a major rock vibe!
Love the new bangs! You look gorgeous. :)
Haha I did think you were going to reveal a big change! The bangs look really cute! :)
Your bangs look awesome! I tried straight across bangs once but it didn't work for me. So sad...

Your bangs are great! After years of dithering, I finally got mine last March and don't regret it for an instant. I love your kind of look, with long, flowing hair and perfect-length fringe: that's what I'm aiming for, too.
oh I am glad you didn't cut it all off. when you mentioned a hair cut i thought maybe you got rid of the length. and you shouldn't! it is lovely.
Diggin' the fringe. Nice work!
Loving the bangs. Can't wait to see them in person at the next swap event. - Katy
I love the new bangs! I actually just got some of my own last week. While it takes an extra 5 minutes to make sure they're all straight and not too crazy, the little spark of change that they provide is totally worth it.
The bangs look great with your long mane of hair.
I'm growing my own out but I've always loved how between bang trims as they grow out you get a whole new look :)
Yay! I love em! I was so happy when I made the change to have a fringe and it's been awesome! Big hair + Fringes FTW!
Love the fringe! You look great :)

gorgeous shoes ♥ and you're so beautiful!
I totally adore your new hair!!
I love the bangs! You look absolutely perfect!
Loving the fringe! Why is it when ever I stumble across a new blog, the blog owner always has fantastic hair?! Your my 2nd hair crush of the day!
Really love the style in your pics as well :)
I was in a hair rut too and got bangs for pretty much the same reasons. Long hair is to precious to just cut up in whim.
You look great! If you had told us about the bangs before you cut them I would have had a hard time picturing it, but they really flatter you. I'm in a serious hair rut right now but I have no clue what to do with it. I can't do bangs because my hair does a weird thing that parts the front of my hair whether I want it to or not.
Love your bangs! They look wonderful. :) also, LOVE your ideal work-from-home outfit... mine would be similar. if only!
Sweeeeet shoes!

Your bangs and those amazing shoes look fabulous!
Your hair looks great! And if I had that kind of length I'd be hesitant to take it off as well. Sadly, I always lose patience or get bored with mine before it reaches that point...
heehee, im with you on the kitten heel trend! i used to hate them (they're not 'proper' heels, they're not flats) but one day i halfheartedly tried a pair on and completely fell in love, hehe. yours are really cute with the two-tone detail! x
