30for30: Sweet Sixteen

Ah, sixteen. That was ___ years ago... Eeek! Oh, you thought I was sixteen now? That's really kind of you. I should bake you something. Oh the things I would love to tell sixteen year old Linley. That could be an entirely different post. An interesting post for sure. 

Did you have to take a double look at these photos? Kind of looks like I chopped all my hair off? I did not. Last year this time I swore as soon as we were back from our honeymoon I would chop all of it off. But some time between making that statement and the days after the honeymoon I fell in love with long hair. I usually hate it as it knots up like a nest in the back around my neck (maybe my hair was trying to tell me it wanted to be in dreads?.. yeah, fat chance, hair!) But not this time. It's been very nice to me and I will keep the length around until it turns into a bully. I saw an up-do similar to this and decided to recreate it. I like it a lot. What do you think?

I've had this outfit in my head since before starting the challenge and I've finally gotten around to it. I really wanted a dark, floral print dress for fall and this is the one. It has creams, dark plums and pinks, florals, and lace. It's kind of perfect in my eyes and I'm so glad I have it. This is the only look I've thought to put it in. I guess I need to brainstorm for more ways to mix it up. That's fun and exciting.

 Um. This is me half way laughing /slash/ wondering when the picture is going to take. 

Also, I have a Formspring where you can ask me anything! Seriously, you want to know what's under my bed or in the trunk of my car... I have an answer!
