Cut It Out (See Jane Snip)

A drastic haircut on the heels of fall is something I’ve been doing since I was a kid.  There are several embarrassing school photos in which I debuted my new ‘do.  If you think I’d show these photos, you’re wrong!  Just kidding, this one is way too hilarious to keep to myself:

Second grade was a complex year; I had to get glasses (I went for the subtlest pair) and my mom tried to make me feel better with either a makeover or pierced ears.  Suffice to say, I chickened out on the pierced ears–and isn’t it obvious that I chose the makeover?

While my Laverne & Shirley ‘do wasn’t the most flattering, there’s something to be said about starting off the school year on a new foot.  After all, you want to come back from summer vacation as an improved version of yourself (prime example above).  The past two Augusts, I’ve chopped off several inches of hair (2012 and 2013) and 2014 will be no exception.  Here’s my inspiration below:
