I Need a Make Over!

Ever since I shaved my head I have been dreaming of giving myself a make over. The problem is that I don’t know what I want!

I feel like my hair helped create the style that I often wore and now that my hair is gone, that style no longer looks right! Well, to be honest, it never looked right anyway because I was always in “mommy attire,” frumped out in old stained tee-shirts and jeans that just don’t look right. Now, I don’t have “mom” jeans, but I used to, so at least I am not stuck in the 80’s wearing the kind of jeans that come so high up the waist that they choke me.

Being bald, I can truly have so many looks that are really sleek and sophisticated or low key and comfortable. I want to be in the middle somewhere and able to swing to the left or to the right if my mood strikes! My other problem is the amount of weight I carry. I definitely need to lose weight, so my temptation to purchase new clothing and accessories, gets pushed to the wayside. I should just do it, but I don’t like the way a lot of the clothes look on me at the moment. A very generous friend gave me a huge box of clothes that didn’t fit her anymore, and I have been looking through them trying to put some outfits together. It really helped to have another style different than my own to see that I can look good in different types of clothes…it boosted my self confidence a tad and for that I am so grateful!
