This marks my one week mark in the 30 for 30! The first week flew by, and I look forward to the next three. As you know, I'm home in VA this weekend. My mom decided to go shopping with me today because that's our typical mother-daughter outing of choice whenever we visit each other. It was SOOOOOO hard resisting the urge to buy stuff. We went to a couple of stores including Anthro. I saw an awesome hat, these adorable shorts, a bedazzled blazer, and a striped tee - all of which I loved and wanted. Don't worry, I left with some gifts - prepping for holiday - and a cookbook, nothing else. I'm trying to hold strong to my word!
This is a cute outfit. I love your love for layering. Enjoy your weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute! I just watched your video on u-tube about hair texture. I have the EXACT same hair as you!!! Until I started searching the net recently, I had never, EVER seen anybody with hair as kinky as mine, and I am a lot older than you :-). Although I had not seen hair like mine, like you I did not realize there were so many different natural textures. I'm trying to educate myself so that I can grow my hair out healthy. I have not permed for years, but I have had extensions and wore wigs b/c I did not want to take the time to deal with my hair, nor did I really know what to do with it. You are sooooo encouraging and I love your attitude. I hope that soon I will have as much confidence as you about my natural hair. I think once it grows out so I can do various styles I will like it better. Right now, it is about 8 inches long stretched, 1 inch after washing and I feel I look like a man. It's also thinner in the top and I am hoping when I start taking care of it, it will thicken. Not to intrude, but is there a place I can ask you questions about my hair as I go through this journey?

Hi Phyllis, thank you! Send me an email at modhutch@gmail.com. I'll share what I know! Like I said in the vid, a lot of your hair acceptance will come from you changing the way you perceive your hair, I'm sure you can get to the point to love it, no matter what!
