It's red, it's chopped!

Fortunately, it's not mine. Kristen Stewart had been a redhead for a while now and even though she is sporting major roots (oops!), her new hair color looks lively and refreshing on her.
Doesn't she look like young Meg Ryan?
Same with Alyson Hannigan. She recently returned back to her natural red and chopped a couple of inches into this stylish bob.
I have been doing the opposite - growing my hair longer and longer. I would like to have long hair at least once in my life -  I always sported shorter cuts or an A-line in the past years. This is how long is my hair now:
I have a hair appointment a week from now and I'm going to get it styled and shaped a little. Can't wait! 
Have a great Monday!
XOXO,

My ThredUp Experience

I finally joined ThredUp! My experience has been nothing but positive. At first I ordered a bag to clean out my closet a little bit, I tried Poshmark but that was too much pressure for me - I don't want to interact with other people just to attract them to sell them something. I want to list my items and be done. And ThredUp is just that. I sent them my old H&M skirts and slacks I don't fit anymore, Old Navy, GAP and other still pretty fashionable clothes. And I made $27!
Then I went ahead and ordered some gently used items. Since I like layering and I have tons of blouses and they are pretty easy to come by in my local Goodwill, unlike sweaters, I decided to go solely for sweaters, cardigans and wraps.
 
My items arrived in a pretty polka dot box. 
The presentation was awesome - everything was neatly wrapped in a tissue paper with bright and cheerful green stickers. If I was hesitant about ThredUp, this totally changed my mind. I love it!  
I ordered nine sweaters and I paid $5.51. Almost all of them were $4.99 and I made sure I will have at least $50 in my shopping basket so I will qualify for free shipping. I used my store credit and then I used an additional coupon for 40% off. 
I got two Old Navy cardigans, one Forever 21 and one Charter Club sweater plus four Merona sweaters and one Limited sweater (not pictured) . 
Every sweater had a description matching the actual condition, so if there are any flaws, I knew about them before I made the purchase. I loved that every item was folded and had a ThredUp tag attached. I see the level of care and customer service and I'm impressed! My ThredUp experience is a great one and I will definitely shop there in the future (or very soon!).
