In the spirit of all things, well new, I decided to try something new. I’m the kind of person that sticks with habits and routines and a true blue believer if it ain’t broke then why fix it?

Well for the past probably 6 or 7 years I’ve been going to the same hair stylist who has done the same thing; trim and highlights. In July I told her I wanted to do something different this fall. A few years ago, I did the uber short Posh when she was actually Posh Spice hair cut (inspired at the time by Heidi Klum.)

Since July, I pondered what I was going to do to change things up this season, and I came up with the perfect solution. BANGS! I’m not gonna lie, my decision may or may not have had something to do with my obsession with Taylor Swift and Nicole Richie, both fashionistas who have totally rocked the what my mother lovingly referred to as “brat bangs.” But while I cringed watching the scissors cut inches away from my forehead and fall to the floor I almost immediately felt like a brand new person when I looked in the mirror.

My stylist informed me that my decision is typical at this time of year, but that I was ahead of the game as the demand had not quite intensified. Yes! I always knew I was born to be a trend setter!

If it weren’t for the bangs, and if I had the freedom to do whatever I could with my hair without interfering with a certain brand integrity, I’d totally opt for the colored ombre at the tips look. But alas, I guess I’ll stick to classic Taylor Swift vogue. Works for me.

Huh, who would have guessed a little change could actually be a good thing.
