one year ago, i lopped off 10 years(') worth of hair and three feet (1 lb) of dreadlocks. and even then i predicted my 20's were going to be frightfully 1920's...
before & after. the week of the shearing.
on the bus to formal. compare last year's to last night! methinks i look a bit diff-erent, no? the only thing the two ensembles have in common is the vintage-wear, false lashes & chain earrings.
damn straight i went to my senior formal as a flapper-let
they say it takes a year and a day to mourn anything, but i've been pretty stoked to look the way i do for a while. and most certainly have never felt more self-confident than i do now. the dreads served me well, so i feel i must acknowledge them and say hello again to my old self: i will try to be more generous when recalling you, you were a neat kid and helped me get to where i am, today.
feeling super nostalgic? --->
