Kate Spade Psalms

About three weeks after I chopped all of my hair I had a new lacefront wig. It was not because I hated my short hair, it was because I was going to Denver and thought it would be fun to have "Kim Kardashian" hair. Then when I returned I needed long(er) bone straight with bangs, affectionally and pragmatically named, "post-Denver" hair.

The truth of the matter is that I just love playing dress up. I believe whole-heartedly in the words of Kate Spade when she said, "Playing dress up begins at age 5 and never really ends."  I love waking up and deciding what look I'm going to master. I guess that's why I love hair and make-up shoes and clothes. I love the theatrical nature to it.

I think about my mom, she said "why did you chop all your hair off just to cover it up?" But I guess I do not see it that way. I see it as me expressing myself as I feel in that moment. Its fun! Sometimes I feel girly and prim, other times I feel like jeans and an oversized hoodie with boots and aviators. You just never know. I do laugh because often people don't know what to do with me or how to take me because I change my hair so much. However, I don't even worry about it. I can't worry about it. I don't change, just the wrapping paper.

I'll likely never forget Zachary's reaction to my big chop. That he could really see me now. Quite honestly, since the chop whether I've worn wigs or my fro I've felt the same freedom and ease. I feel lighter. Even though I had a knotty stomach when it came to money last week, in general I have remained at peace. At peace and in laughter. Happy.
