Lately I have been feeling blah about how I look. Day by day, I slowly stopped working out. Slowly I regressed into the couch potato I had vowed to stop being since becoming a mom. After dealing with a bunch of life changing situations I needed a change so I cut my hair very short and dyed it a dark auburn. This was a great change to my normal long dirty blonde look but now that the new has worn off, I am finding there is very little versatility to the style. There are days when I just want a very different look. This really hit home after a night out with my husband.

A couple nights ago, my husband and I went to a nice dinner together wearing our "dressy clothes". Ya’ll know the ones you have stashed in the back of your closet protected by a dress bag so nothing gets on them because you can't afford the dry cleaning bill. When I say nice place, I mean a place that requires a suit jacket and heels. We scrubbed off the parent vibe to sparkle with fresh energy of possibilities and alone time. Bright eyed and giddy as we were seated and looked at our menus, we ordered and waited. That is when it began.
I stopped looking in the eyes of my charming husband and noticed the beautiful woman at the table behind him. She had amazing hair; it was silky, long and gorgeously highlighted. Just then a couple walked by and my husband commented about how he liked the loose curl look. I spent the night comparing my hair to every other woman's style and the fun-ness it portrayed. It was final I was going to do something drastic for me. I needed to splurge on myself for once.

How do you instantly grow short hair?

You buy a wig!!! No kidding! The beautiful woman in the photos of this post is a friend of mine who graciously let me steal a couple photos of her wigging out. She began buying wigs a few years ago for the same reason I want to. She was bored with her hair. Her hair is baby fine and does not hold a style well. Therefore, she began wearing wigs.

My friend is a new mom so the ease of sliding on a wig when she decides to change up her hairstyle is one reason she continues to splurge on her "wig addiction". Another bonus is that the average costs of her wigs are $35 so her mommy wallet does not feel the pinch.
