I hate to make ya'll wait for pics, but my USB port doesn't work and I usually upload my pics at my boyfriend's house. Well, he is in New York for a week. Thanks for the tips, Tiger Lily! Guess, what? my mom is hatin' on my wig! She says its too much for me. But, if I had my hair cut this way, it wouldn't be no drama.

Then she asked me this morning if I was going to keep it. Mind you, she is ultra conservative and old-fashioned with some of her views, IMO. I told her that I was definitely going to keep it AND WEAR IT because I think its pretty, and I really like it. As a matter of fact, I'm at work right now, and YES I'm wearing it. I could see if it was a pink afro wig or even was black with red streaks, but its brown! She goes on to say this blah blah blah about working at a bank (I am supposed to be starting as a bank teller shortly)/in an office type environment and how switching up your hair style is a sign of instability to the employer. She knows I don't switch my styles like that. I plan to wear one style for at least a month or so.
Plus, when I do buy more wigs they aren't going to be eccentric, or anything. I'm not necessarily conservative, but I know the appropriate way to present oneself at work in a dressy/casual environment. Anyway, there was a girl in the bank where I am supposed to be working that had a neck-length jet black wig with chinese blunt cut bangs. What's the big deal? I wouldn't be hearing her mouth if I HAD to wear a wig.
Then she would be telling me to put one on. I understand her logic behind being professional and maintaining a business-like appearance, but I can do that with a nice wig, my hair, or a drawstring ponytail. She should know that I would not have a wig down to my butt one day and a pixie cut the next. I will be consistent with the length, style, and color! I know how to dress the part. She always has something to say about my hair, my hair products, etc. She didn't want me to stretch my relaxers...I know she probably means well, but it sure is aggravating! {*Prays for strength to deal*}
