I recently decided to take the plunge and chop off 6inches of my hair! I wanted to go shorter but since it was my first time in a long time having short hair (3rd grade??), I guess easing into it was the play. I went to Antonio Prieto in Chelsea and had Brenna, who was great and I would definitely recommend. 

I was contemplating this drastic change for a while, keeping in mind that hair always grows back if I absolutely hated it. Did I ever think I could pull off short hair? Meh. It wasn't something I pictured myself doing until later down the road but I'm so happy I did. Watching my locks float to the floor as I sat patiently in the swivel chair turned out to be extremely freeing and much less stressful than when I go in to get a simple trim.

Would you opt for a shorter do' this season? 

A bit on what I'm wearing: Black & white always look chic together.  I decided to take my own advice and layer up with fun textured pieces, like these Vince Camuto suede and patent leather flats (Michael Jackson, anyone? Yow!).
