Over the weekend I found myself perusing the school supply aisle, dreaming about highlighters and post-it notes. I could walk the aisles all day and my excitement level would never cease.
There are a few things I always do to prepare for a new school year...
- Buy candy for my desk candy jar
- Buy a 'first-day' outfit (keep your eye out for a special post!)
- Buy a lipstick that makes me feel like I can do anything
- this year it might be Lorac "It Girl"
- Get a 'first week' manicure
- Get a haircut
This weekend I'll be hitting the Pleasant Prairie Outlet Mall in Wisconsin to hopefully score a good deal on some work clothes. I'm in serious need of new dress pants!
Until then, I'm trying to decide what kind of haircut/color I want to get in 2 weeks. I haven't decided on a color (probably something with dark honey for fall). Instead, I've been focusing on what kind of cut to get. I've been growing out my hair for at least 1 year and I love the length, but it's getting to be a bit too much. I'm ready for an actual style.
I'm thinking this cut with a darker color...
I like that it's still a bit long, but short enough to actually have a defined cut. Plus, I need to be able to put my hair in a ponytail for when I sweat it out at the gym.
If any ladies are looking for a great stylist in Chicago, I recommend Brittany at Robert Jeffrey - Lakeview. I've been going to her for 3 years and I always leave happy! Plus, their window displays are amazing! It's nice to have something pretty to look at while you're getting your hair done. Also, if you pre-book your next appointment, you'll get 10% off... every time.
What do you do to prepare for a new school year?
