This morning I was going through some old photo albums (via facebook) and I noticed how my style has changed so rapidly since starting college. When I began school I would've considered myself a hipster (a wanabe one). I thrived by shopping at thrift stores and wasting my money on cheap and poorly made UO clothes. Today, I don't know what I would catergorize my style as. Comfortable? Of course I still like to be stylish, but I can't help that I feel more confident in a teeshirt and jeans. I still like shopping at goodwill, but now a days I'm go there to look at nic-naks and furniture rather than clothing. I find my self flocking to higher-end stores like J.Crew and Banana Republic instead of H&M. Looking at those pictures makes me wounder how much I'll laugh at myself and my style 10 years from now.

So I really need to get my hair cut. Its been about 3 months and my hair has grown in to a limp and lifeless mess. Below are some inspirations for my new style. I'm keeping the length, since I've waited so long for it to grow out. Right now my hair is shoulder length, so it matches the pictures pretty closely. My bangs are the are which need the most consideration. I think bangs are the thing that make or break a hair cut, and in my opinion they are usually the first thing a person notices about the style. All the styles below are similar, except the third one which is an asymmetrical cut. The others are bobs. I know what I want, I just have to get up the nerves to go and get it done!
