I'm debating on whether or not, and what type of haircut I should get. Part of me wants to keep growing it out, but even to do so it would probably be helpful to get a trim and set myself up for success with the start of a style that lends itself to more growth. Or, I could go back to pre-Covid pixie...  Either way, I'm embracing blazers here as we gear up for November.  This month can be tricky when it comes to outerwear.
