New Hair / Officewear

So, shaved my head earlier this week. Just got tired of my hair. It also kept breaking, so even though it was growing, it kept staying at a bob length. I kind of want a fresh start with healthy hair.

The only downside to shaving your head is making small talk about it at the office. "Did you do it for summer?" No... "Do you like it?" Yes, that's why I did it. "You have a nice skull" I suppose I do. "I wish I could shave my head" So do it... "You look like Sinead O'Connor" Yes, I suppose so. Eh, I don't care...nothing too interesting happens at the office. When someone gets a haircut, it's literally the most exciting thing that's happened in months.

Unfortunately, I kind of have to "retire" a few wardrobe items for a while. For a shaved head, I think more structured/fitted garments look better. A shaved head looks perfect all the time, so it seems more balanced to have the rest of your outfit look polished as well. I also like having no hair because it shows off my earrings and other piercings.

Here are two looks I wore to the office this week:

t-shirt: forever 21; pleated skirt: american apparel; necklace from this post

I love this pleated skirt. It's thick and has a good weight to it. Also high-waisted and the deepest black. I like to wear this with a crop top shirt or a t-shirt--don't want to be TOO corporate and stuffy now. It reminds me of my art-book publishing days.

dark red buttoned cotton shirt: ben sherman; silk skirt: brooks brothers

So much for not looking too stuffy! I actually like this look because it's so stuffy. I actually button it all the way to the top for an even more affected look. Hard to see in the shitty lighting of my apartment, but the blouse is actually a deep dark red.

wore these earrings

These have been my "signature look" earrings for the past 10 years. They are awesome.
