Has a Fetish. . . .

For A-line haircuts and Cardigans.  

Yes, two things that it appears in my life I will never be without.  

Cardigan:  knitted jacket that is fastened up the front with buttons or a zipper 
 A-Line Haircut:  A cut that is slightly longer in the front, closest to the face and shorter or stacked in the back, off of the neckline.  

Number of Cardigans in my closet52 (don't ask me why I counted them. . . I just did (also, this number may be a little it on the liberal side, because I think I counted a couple of shrugs and sweaters that I would say are cardigans but they don't zip or button. . . more of an "open cardigan")
Number of A-line haircuts I have had in my life time:  I have no idea, because I haven't counted (and it would be weird if I had), but if I had to make a guess I would do the figuring like this.  Haircut every 8 weeks averages out to about 6 haircuts a year x the last 10 years of my life off and on = approximately 60 a-line haircuts - 8 times that I tried something different but always went back to the a-line and drumroll:  52 (what are the chances that I would get the same number?!) :)

Money spent on Cardigans:  Lots
Money spent on A-line Haircuts: Lots more. 

Seriously, maybe I should start to think outside the box, and not dress like a mom since I am not one. 

Just saying. 

On the other hand I think I look great with an a-line haircut and what isn't to love about my 52 cardigans  in various, cuts, styles and colors.  You can layer with them, dress things up, dress things down, wear shirts that otherwise are too tight, sleevless, not cute enough etc. . . .

Maybe someday I'll change and start buying different clothes and getting different haircuts.
Probably not. 

Sidenote: Thankfully I don't own any cats, because if I had 52 cardigans and cats. . . . that would be a sure fire garauntee that my left hand ring finger would be empty forever. 


And yes, I'm wearing a cardigan right now.  It is pink and it zips and I love it (and I forgot I had it until I was counting my cardigans).

You should just come up with a new name for them, b/c cardigan does sound kinda old. I'll be thinking. My thing is black & brown. If fact right now, I'm wearing both. I do wear blue jeans, if that can count for a color variation. I think your cardigans & A-line look great!

You make me laugh Amber. I love your thoughts...and I love A-Line hair cuts too...bascially been my style since High School...I try other styles every now and then, and usually don't like them...so I return to my beloved A-line :)

I like your a-line haircuts and cardigans.

There is nothing wrong with 52 cardigans. I love them too and am wearing one most of the time including right now.

I like the cardigans so much more than sweaters you have to pull over your head--those drive me crazy now b/c I just hate ruining my pony tail or bun just to get them on!

that's funny--just because today i put on a cardigan and i wondered if i would ever get tired of wearing them? i'm in love with them. i wish i had 52 to choose from...too bad we're not neighbors because you're the kind of girl who would probably let me borrow one every so often. and i love your a-line hair cuts. mostly, i just love most everything about you.

I think there are definitely worse things to have than cardigans and cute haircuts. I, for one, haven't had a haircut in way too long and give you credit for sticking to the every 8 weeks schedule, no wonder you always look fantastic!
