In less than two months, I'll be starting my Master's Program for Occupational Therapy. I'm wanting to find a new look that for this next step in life. Not that it's that different, but it is a change, and they expect you to look refined and professional, since we'll be training to become OT professionals.
I've slowly collected more professional looking clothes that are modest, and look dressier than most of my school clothes. It's hard finding cheap, modest clothes! Especially when you're 5'12". :) So no more wearing sweats to class, or dashing out the door with my hair still dripping wet. I plan to "dress for success".
Lately I've felt that my hair is unpredictable at best, and often feels unruly and uncooperative. I've been thinking that I should try to find a "new do" that will be easy to maintain and look professional. Should I continue let it grow out, or cut it shorter? Let it have the faded color of once dyed, but going back to natural, or should I dye it. If so, dark brown, reddish brown... too many choices!
So, though it's not a super important decision- there's my dilemma. What to do, what to do.... any suggestions would be welcome!
You know what's funny? I've been envying your hair because it looks so cute and professional. Haha. My curls won't lay nice like yours if my hair is cut the same way. So sad for me.
ReplyDeleteSuggestions? Well, for "easy to maintain" is it easier for you to have it longer or shorter? Either length can be professional. And does it take longer to do up or down? Another thing to think about. Long hair falling onto a patient may not be good, but it would have to be pretty long for that to be an issue I think.
Maybe you could try experimenting with bobby pins to create different looks with pulling the hair to the side or doing a fun part or something, yes?
Also, I've found that wearing classes definitely "professionalizes" a look. You've got this going for you!
Hopefully some of this has helped a little bit. I am still at a loss as to what to do with mine. I know something needs to be done, however major or minor, but not sure when that will happen.
