I think it's because we're (perhaps?) entering warm weather season here. That will mean lots of heat and humidity, where I live. And in most ways, I am most certainly not a wimp, but I will admit: I am a heat wimp. At the first sign of hot, humid weather I run for hair elastics and scarves and bandanas and anything that will get my hair off my neck faster than you can shake a leg. But I'd still like to look decent if I need to do that. I hope to try out some styles with my new Grip-Tuth hair combs (I love these!) that might make me slightly less twitchy in hot weather. So I think I'll go for a few inches chopped with suitable vintage-friendly layers, probably slightly shorter than my November haircut. I'm undecided about my bangs and need to consult with my stylist. Fortunately she specializes in vintage hairstyles, so we'll be having a heart-to-heart this evening.
I'm still a little obsessed with the idea of doing a curl fluff, but I'll have to discuss with my stylist what options that would give me for days I don't want to do that (How would I even do that, anyway? Would I look like an idiot? Could I still do a front roll?). Along with some of the photos from my whine about my hair funk, I'll also be showing her this lovely lady, who I found on Pinterest. Isn't she grand? (I love her dress and matching bracelet and dress clip, too!) Her hair is much thicker than mine, however, but at least it's a starting point.

In other news, I've decided I'm going to give Twitter a try again. I've had an account for years but have only used it sporadically (most recently was last summer, to keep up with the wildfire in New Mexico that was near my family's town, for which it was brilliant). But lately I've been feeling the need to share just a little bit or two that wouldn't warrant an entire blog post. And since I just can't bring myself to use Facebook, I thought I'd give tweeting a try again.
So please, do follow me on Twitter! I'll have to make the rounds and see who else is on there to follow, too. :)

I can't promise I'll ever have anything interesting or important to say, but I'll try and pop in now and again with thoughts that don't make it to the blog. Quick little updates on sewing and knitting projects, blog posts and links I'm enjoying, outfit photos, mini updates, little things like that, I'm thinking. If you use Twitter, what's your favorite thing about it?
Hope to see some of you out there, too!
