Bangin' ...as in, I got bangs

So, Shannon, you said you would at least blog part of the time about something other than sports, right? Like fashion or food or something?


Yes, lovely readers, yes I did. So, I present to you the first post of that sort.

Thursday, I did something I haven't done since middle school. I got bangs. Actual bangs. Want proof?

These are in fact poorly lit, bathroom pictures, but you get the gist.

In October, I went in for a trim and fully anticipated getting bangs at that point, but one comment from the stylist and I was talked out of it. Over the next three months, I frequently wished I hadn't been talked out of it and, like I said, on Thursday, I decided to take the leap.

It might not exactly be obvious, but my bang inspiration came from two places. This post from The Beauty Department, and any and everything featuring Zooey Deschanel.

I love my long hair, but some times I just want something different. This was one way to achieve that without losing any length. Because I haven't had bangs in so many years, I'm still learning how to style them. So, I promise I'll do my best to post some other pictures of better quality soon.

What say you? Do you have bangs? Are you thinking of making the jump? I say do it. It's hair. If you don't like it, it'll grow back.
