short & sweet

good morning! apologies for lame lack of posting. it's been a kind of rough week. without diving too deep, sam lost his job this week, which is really a blessing of sorts because it means he'll be home with me all the time (his old job required him to be on the road nearly every week,) but it caught us a bit off guard nonetheless. pro: now i have someone to take my pictures every morning! con: i am so, so awkward when ANYONE tries to take my picture. husband included. 99% of them are photos of me gesturing awkwardly or opening my mouth with a concerned look. not cute. but i think we got a couple today that are useable.

oh, yeah - i chopped all my hair off. when we were on our honeymoon (in curaçao, photos to come!) it was so crazy hot and humid and all i could think about was how bad i wanted to chop it all off. it's not like i haven't done it before; i've just never LOVED it. no matter. not one to learn from my mistakes, i went ahead. and i like it. i don't love it, yet. i think i want it to be a bit shorter in back and longer in front and choppier all around, but it'll get there, i think, and in the meantime it does FEEL great. i do find myself dressing to my hair a bit more than i'd like to, though. if that makes sense. like i feel like i need to dress more 'j crew catalog' and less '60s lady' because i end up looking like a 12 year old boy playing dress up in girl's clothes. sigh. none of this is helped by the verdict of my friends and family: sam's been calling me "jamie lee audrey" since i had it cut, and my mom literally emailed, "VERY pretty!! Like one of the Lost Boys if he was a sexy girl!!" LOST BOY. there you have it.

what are you guys up to this weekend? me and sam are goin' to a party tonight, then leaving for connecticut early in the am to see our niece/his goddaughter be baptized, then coming back early sunday so i can hit the jazz age lawn party with keiko. you should come, too.

  1. BWAhahahaha. Sexy girl lost boy. That's EXACTLY how I felt when my hair was cut like this. Hilarious jokes aside, I adore this cut on you. And I totally identify with dressing for your hair. My style seems to change a lot depending on what my hair is up to at the time.

    Oh, and I'm so sorry for Sam. Losing one's job is never easy, but I'm sure things will turn up soon.

  3. You look lovely with this haircut! I just chopped my shoulder-length hair into a pixie a week ago, and while it takes some getting used to, I find that looking at pictures of Jean Seberg helps quell the Lost Boys feeling. Best of luck to Sam on the job hunt!

  4. i think you look lovely, but i had the same feelings when i chopped my hair off. except i felt like a drag queen because i have big boobs, so i felt unbalanced. you do not look like a boy. you look like a beautiful girl who has short hair.

    jamie lee audrey though...that's genius.

  5. Oh, I'm sure things are happening for a reason Audrey, and that new opportunities lie ahead for you and Sam. :) Also, your new haircut reminds me of how Emma Watson looked so effortlessly lovely in hers when she chopped off her hair a while back. And your mom is hilarious, haha! :)

  6. Sorry to hear about the loss of the job. That can be stressful!

    Like you said though, the plus side is you can have him take your photos! He did a pretty good job. You look so adorable, the whole outfit. I especially like your sandals.

  7. OMG, CUTE! Yes, I said OMG. You look great with short hair! I'm sorry about the sudden job loss, but hopefully now Sam will end up with a new job that won't require so much time away.

  10. your hair looks AWESOME! I am so jealous you can pull off a cut like that that i will never read this blog again! NEVER! ...or at least until you post your wedding pics...or food pics.

  11. you're so right - I cut my hair short last fall and didn't feel like I could wear super feminine clothes. Not sure why. But it was a nice experiment in dressing differently and then as it began to grow back I adjusted. Now I kind of miss the shortness but you are right...I never really loved it.
    Sorry to hear about the job...such a major bummer. good luck with everything!

  13. i'm so jealous you can wear a short fringe. you look awesome.

    on the contrary, ever since i chopped off my hair, i was wearing more feminine things; i like the clash.

  15. I LOVE this cut on you! It looks utterly lovely, especially with your freckles. But I know the feeling of losing the femininity- when I cut all mine off I felt the same. Funnily enough it made me want to wear dresses all the time
