On the same day that had my fringe cut, I dropped into Anthropologie to poke around. It had been a little while since I'd stopped in, and it was perfect timing--I needed new tops, and a good selection of them had gone on sale. This tank in particular jumped out at me. It's like instant cheer in tank top form!

I pulled out my Alena skirt to wear underneath it, and the result looked like a quirky drop waist dress. People asked me wear I got my "dress" all day long at work, and luckily I was able to tell them Anthropologie without it getting too confusing. The hat and shoes were almost afterthoughts, but I was in a really perky mood so I decided to double up on the fun factor.

Settling into Cabin House and my new 'do has me feeling inspired and ready to play with my wardrobe. While I thought I'd be bewildered by how trendy my bangs are, they are actually really fun, almost an accessory to my daily wardrobe. I totally get why people have clip in hair now--a hairstyle change opens up so many more head to toe styling possibilities!

Thanks for the awesome feedback yesterday! I can't wait to pull together some retro and wacky Japanese street style inspired looks with my new kindergartner bangs. Just you wait till Saturday--I'm going to a Harajuku costume party, and I'll be darned if I don't put together a bang up costume. (Ha, I wasn't even planning on a bangs pun.)
