These blue velvet pants are so fun! I love wearing them because they're so unexpected. From far away they could look like jeans, but up close no siree! They also feel amazing so I'm constantly giving myself little rug burns haha

I finally scheduled an appointment to get my hair cut! If I tell you how long it's been, you have to promise not to judge. {Especially those of you who are hair stylists!} It's been... over 6 months! Not too bad I guess, but still pretty bad. My split ends have become so obvious and my hair doesn't feel as healthy as it probably should. I felt really good about getting it cut, until yesterday! This always happens to me, and perhaps to some of you too. I think us girls just get protective of our hair and hair change=big change, even if it's only 2 inches! Am I right or am I right? Unfortunately I'm not going to make any major changes, but I do have big plans for after the wedding!
P.S. I know I'm behind on Wedding Wednesday posts but I took a little break from planning over the holidays!
They'll be back soon!
Is it bad that I can't remember the last time I got my hair cut? I think it might have been August but I really don't remember...
ReplyDeletei adore this look, the blue velvet pants are too cute! thats how long i usually go without cutting my hair, too :) lol and yes i hesitate to even get 1 inch cut off!
ReplyDeletethe backdrop you chose for these photos is so perfect. and i'm jealous of how well you can pull off those cute floppy knit hats!
ReplyDeletelol, don't worry, i'm not judging. it's amazing you've been able to not have to cut your hair for that long!!! around 10-12 weeks for me, the layers start to get overgrown. anddddd on the subject of hair, i guess i should tell you, i think i'm going to go short at my next appointment, which is in mid january!!!
LOVE those pants!!
ReplyDeleteand psh, I haven't gotten my hair cut since January, haha...I win ;)

lovely!
ReplyDeleteand I love your hair, I terribly need a haircut!
Oh I"m in desperate need of a hair cut! You could see my split ends from Mars lol.
ReplyDeletePS - Love the velvet pants! I thought they were cords at first!
love the outfit! funny you mentioned your hair being in less-than-perfect shape, because i was going to comment on how gorgeous it looks in this post!! you have great hair, ma'am ;)
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks great for not having it cut in 6 months! I used to be that way but have been better lately.. maybe going every 3-4 months? Still not great but it's progress!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this outfit! Love love love. One of my favorites I think. I'm totally the opposite; I get my hair cut way MORE than I'm supposed to (like seriously...every four weeks?) and then I get sad when it's not long and beautiful like yours. But when it DOES get long it just looks thin and unhealthy. Bah!
ReplyDeletelove the stripes and the cute hat! i have the same hat in gray - such a perfect touch to the outfit!
ReplyDeletehappy new year, friend!!
What a great way of spicing up a regular outfit...with some velvety blue pants. I love this look! As for my hair, I get it trimmed every six to eight weeks. Even then, when the time rolls around, I hate parting with the length!
ReplyDeletethose blue velvet pants are so cute!! and i also love that sweater. it's so cold today, i could use a nice warm one like that. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your hat, lady. Looks great with the looser-fitting sweater.
ReplyDeleteI know what you man about cutting your hair. I'm always reluctant to get that done :/

I can go a year without getting my hair cut :O, & how old does it make me feel that i had blue velvet trousers many moons ago, I LOVED them!..i don't think they would be so forgiving nowadays, with the old hips a wee bit wider than then..:)
ReplyDeletelove the way you cuffed your pants!
ReplyDeletei really like the unexpected texture of those pants--so many people are wearing velvet blazers (which i don't think i love much) but velvet pants are LOVELY, especially on you.
ReplyDeleteand you look ridiculously sweet in all these photos.
you look so beautiful! and I know what you mean about the hair situation - my hair was nearly to my elbows and I cut it to above my collar bone! It floats now & my pony tails are like little girl ponytails....and now, my look is so different! but i'm sure whatever you decide you'll look beautiful....short hair or not! xo
ReplyDeleteI get my hair cut like every six months also...that's how often my sister comes into town, so that's when I get it cut. I just got it trimmed this weekend. I adore those pants, I need me some blue velvet pants real bad.
ReplyDeletelovelovelove this look. causal and classy. :)
ReplyDelete-kellie
your hair looks so pretty! :-D
ReplyDeleteMara--Good luck with the hair cut!
ReplyDeleteI adore the way you mix colour, Mara! This look is amazing, and those pants! Oh my goodness. I seriously wish we had J Crew here.
ReplyDeleteX
You take such beautiful photos! And I totally know what you mean about the hair cut thing... I always consider it a treat to indulge in a new cut/color and be pampered but then a tiny part of me sort of dreads the day because I second-guess myself.
ReplyDeleteCheers from Amsterdam,

One of my favorite outfits of yours!! GORGEOUS!!!! I feel like I should learn a new word to describe you ... I am always writing that. Hugs and Love friend!!! If you make it up here for a quick pop in make some time to grab a cone at ici my treat!!!!! XO!
ReplyDeletei haven't gotten a haircut since i got married (7 months ago!) and i think it's a-okay.
ReplyDeleteLove love love that hat! Cute comfy look too:-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

This is an adorable outfit!! I love your blouse and sweater a LOT!
ReplyDeleteOh and I totally know what you mean about hair! I am making a semi large change tomorrow and soooo nervous. YIKES!
It was such a long time since my last hair cut that I chopped my split ends off myself. I actually liked the result a lot better than most of the hair cuts I got from previous hair stylists. Love your look!
ReplyDeleteEternally yours,
Stephanie
Great casual outfit.. this is the kind of thing I wear most days! Happy New Year!!

Love the hat lady! And your hair looks fab...I totally felt the same way before my wedding...it's a total security blanket!! xo
ReplyDeletei haven't had a haircut since may/june, so no judgments here! ;)
ReplyDeletelove. love. love. those. PANTS! they're so cool!
happy new year, mara. <3 what an exciting year 2011 will be for you! :)
I love your hat! Great outfit, as per usual. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about my hair! It's been over a year since I've cut my hair and even my split ends aren't enough for me to trust a hairstylist! They always cut off way too much. So I've been using Moroccan oil to keep it smooth!

ReplyDeleteI wish I had a pair of those pants! They look so comfy but so chic at the same time! Love the entire outfit. It's a really comfortable look! Also, are you wearing nude lipstick? It's a really pretty look on you :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you don't do too big of a change with your hair. I'm so jealous of your curls! :P
Man... I wish you could show me how to match my clothes to make a perfect outfit! I love your style! You're an inspiration! Keep it up, Girl!
YES!!! Totally agreed with your point! Guess what? The last time I went for a hair cut was 14 months ago, opps! Anyways, you always look awesome with any kind of hairstyle.
ReplyDeleteWish you have a great year 2011, with loves. x
I got my last hair cut last month but I want to go back and get more bangs. I love everything about your outfit, it's so simple, yet so chick!!
ReplyDeleteHappy new years...
this outfit is so french! love it!
ReplyDeleteLove this look! It seems so relaxed and cozy but chic.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable look on you! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLiesl :)
Your soft curls and hat are just darling, you look so comfy in your striped tee!
ReplyDeleteI just got my hair cut and balayaged for my wedding (this coming weekend!). I've grown out my fringe, but after next April (I'm in a friends wedding) I plan to cut my fringe back. New hair styles are always fun! Can't wait to see yours :)

i kept my hair blonde for our wedding. I was dying to try something new for so long. 2 days before christmas i dyed it a brownish red! the change was so much fun, but keeping my hair blonde for the wedding was a must :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you hair-wise, Mara -- I love mine long and hate when it's time for a cut. Must make an appointment soon, though! I love your little hat and those pants are fab!

P.S. I was thinking the same thing about my hair...it is longer than it has ever been and I have wanted to chop it off! I know whatever style you choose will look lovely on you! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! I haven't had a haircut in months. I know I need one but like you said, girls are protective of their hair! My hair grows so slowly I have to force myself to go.
ReplyDelete<3
Totally adore this funky, yet casually cool, outfit!
