i have always found it hard to change hairstyles. the transition period -- the time between the old hairstyle and the new hairstyle -- is difficult for me to navigate. i feel like i am without a style identity. none of the clothes in my closet seem to fit me anymore and i seem months away from fitting into any new clothes -- amazing the role a hairstyle plays in my style identity. i hear and read how one should embrace each step of the transformation, but i just can't seem to do this. i remain fixated on the end point and everything short of that doesn't satisfy me -- it seems, well, not the me that i was envisioning when i made the decision to change my hairstyle.  i always seem to choose to go through the most difficult months in the transition period during the bleakest winter months, when i know i am at my most vulnerable emotionally. that said, i am not sure that any time of year would make it easier to survive those difficult months -- regardless of the degree of my emotional vulnerability. i say this with some sadness: all the beautiful rundholz clothes this a/w that i couldn't resist may just be lost on me this a/w. they will always remain beautiful on the hanger though. and of course they will be there for me when i come out the other end of this painful hair growth transition period. here is some old rundholz black label ... on the evolving me.

i am wearing rundholz black label a/w 2018 (clothes and footwear).
