In the last twenty-four hours I've undergone some exciting changes- firstly, I donated ten inches of hair to Locks of Love. I've been wanting to get a shoulder-length cut for a while now, and I finally decided to go ahead and do it. I really love it! It is wonderful to be able to wear my hair down without having to spend lots of time styling and fussing over it.
And secondly, I got my braces off! I've been counting down the days, and haven't been able to contain my excitement. My teeth feel so big and smooth and free; I haven't stopped smiling since I got them off this morning.
If you think I changed a lot since yesterday, just take a look at my post from back in February of 2013 when I first got my braces on! Looking back, I'm really glad that I've changed since then. Haha...yeah.
Gorgeous!!

ReplyDeleteThank you, dear!
DeleteYou look beautiful! Is it weird that I just got braces today?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mahnoor! Good luck with braces; just know that they will be completely worth it in the end.
DeleteSo pretty! and OMG I'm counting down my days till my braces come off - only 8 to go!! You look gorgeous - I've had my braces on since December 2011, you lucky thing - such a short time xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Harri! So exciting - I can't wait for you to get yours off.
DeleteIt's so funny how different people look when they get a short haircut after having really long hair for a while--and yet so much the same, still! I just cut my hair a couple months ago from almost the same length yours was to almost the same length it is now. :) Definitely nice to have it out of the way, but I'll always miss it. Congrats on getting your braces off, too!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, isn't it? I really love having it short.
DeleteWow, it looks lovely on you! And congrats on getting the braces off - I have about 3 more months to wait until my teeth are FREE! Haha ;)

You look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI got my hair cut really short within 5 days of getting my braces off. For a little while I had a bit of an identity crisis as I felt like I looked completely different!
I just can't get over how beautiful you are, Rachelle! You look so much like your mom (who is also gorgeous!) and I adore your hair like this!
