Seasonal Inspiration in Dress (and a new haircut/hack)

I have had long hair all my life (apart from an unfortunate couple of years in my mid-teens), but, as it is in my nature to want what I don't have, the grass is always greener, etc, I have been craving a short haircut for a few years now. Yesterday, I finally mustered up the courage (and perhaps a touch of madness?) to chop it off. Since I always cut my own hair, I did it myself. It's a bit rough - I didn't really consider that it is a lot more difficult to cut your own hair if you can't pull bits around from the back of your head. So, I have booked in with a professional tomorrow, who will hopefully do something stylish and wonderful with it. Until then, I kind of like the grunginess. Hence my grunge-and-autumn inspired outfit:


I am wearing my cherry docs, but, whoops, I cut my feet off. I need a tripod. Balancing camera on windowsill/box/hanging from a tree is starting to get old.



Rose cardigan - from Butterflies (Dunedin's preeminent op-shop)
Shirt - from an op-shop in Edinburgh (though they call them 'charity shops' there) and it is made in NZ!
Skirt - home-made by yours truly out of an old lady op-shop skirt (from Butterflies again I think)
Petticoat - from when I was about 5
Tights - Penny's in Ireland

Now I'm listening to Fiona Apple. She is lovely. Perfect rainy Sunday music.
