Thoughts on (Hair)style: Tinsley Mortimer, now, with bangs!

Feb20

BEFORE

Big news in the socialite world...huge actually. Tinsley Mortimer just got...bangs! The likes of Arden Wohl, Poppy Delevigne, and Olivia Palermo must be so jealous. Bangs are a big deal for a girl, and let me tell you why.

Almost two years ago, when I began contemplating getting bangs (after watching Reese Witherspoon's fabulous bangs at several red carpet events), I went through a similar dilemma to Tinsley's. Keep the long, glamorous, uptown-girl curls, or take the risk and go all sleek, chic and sexy? I ended up with the bangs, and they looked amazing. Girls with bangs have the potential to really have that "statement" hairstyle (i.e., Anna Wintour, Betty Page, Elsa Klensch--whatever happened to her!), and I rocked it --until about a month ago when I got bored with what was supposed to be my own future trademark Anna Wintour-esque bob, and decided to grow it out. I am currently in the middle of my awkward growing-out stage, where my bangs are neither here nor there, swooped across the side of my face but not quite tucked behind my ears. And bang girls beware - the withdrawl syptoms from growing out your bangs include the constant urge to just trim them again and get it over with. But you must resist! As for me, just a few more months, and I am home free...unless Tinsley's bangs look just so incredible that I get the itch to trim again, I will be dazzling New York with my curled, pre-bang-cut Tinsleyfied locks in several months. But I still think Tinsley looks smashing in her new fringe.

So what are your thoughts on Tinsley's style?
