This week’s Weekly Whistle outfit is all about the VIP wearing a vintage skirt as a blouse…Yep, that’s right–wearing a skirt as a blouse. The versatility of this darling piece is what makes it so fabulous! Skirt or shirt…it all depends on the mood I am in when I wake up *wink*

Hello, fabulouses, today I would like to introduce the new VIP motto, ” Be Daring. Be Fabulous. Be You.” with a little artistic photography post. Let us celebrate and start the new year off with the motivation to be who we truly are–Be Daring. Be Fabulous. Be You.
Do not be scared–Be Daring! Do not be timid–Be Fabulous! Do not get Entangled by the Norm—Be You!
Daring To Be Different
by Everlife
My first thought said With no line, you’ll get lost this time If you don’t know where you’re going My second thought said It’s okay, okay to change It’s time you started growing
So there I stood without a clue My head tried to tell me what to do My heart started playing tug-of-war Like it’s out of my hands
To be fearless, when I’m scared to move I’m overdue Daring to be different To scream, yes, yeah I’m awake I will not break Daring to, daring to be different
The whole world tells me If I choose wrong I won’t belong I better make the right decision But what they do and What they say Are not the same They’re a spinning contradiction
It’s just the old that they call new Dizzy from all the points of view Closing my eyes while breathing in Look up, let go, no hands
To be fearless, when I’m scared to move I’m overdue Daring to be different To scream, yes, yeah I’m awake I will not break Daring to, daring to be different
Different, different
To be fearless when I’m scared to move I’m overdue Daring to be different To scream, yes, yeah I’m awake I will not break Daring to, daring to be different

Hello, fabulouses! Let’s turn up the heat of yesterday’s LGD by tossing on a sexy leather jacket and wedges. Add a touch of spice to this hot ensemble with a long pendulum pendant necklace from BluKat Design, and you are ready for a super stylish night out on the town!
For a long, long, long, LONG time, I have been wanting my hair cut and styled like a modern version of Marilyn Monroe. Thanks to Brantley Willis and Jeremy Stephens at The Association of Independent Artists–The Salon that long-loved look became a reality!
Isn’t Brantley Willis precious!
Brantley Willis, a tremendously talented stylist, did such a FABULOUS job with my color and cut–I could not have asked for a more perfect vintage look! It is hard to trust new people with my signature curly locks, but at the end of the day–it was totally worth it. I am still in complete shock of the wonderful job Brantley did with my curls. Bonus: it was so much fun being with Brantley, Jeremy, and Walker today! Y’all are TOTALLY FABULOUS!
As I was waiting for my top highlights to finish up–the mom, Brantley, and Walker Crow (hair stylist at The Salon) were chatting about how I wanted my hair cut. I have always referred to the VIP cut as a “curly bob”…until today…until Walker Crow’s genius…So…Walker Crow came up with the “cob”–a curly bob. From this point forward, the VIP’s signature curly bob will be referred to as a “cob”…yes, readers…a “cob”…it is catchy…Thanks, Walker Crow, for that fabulous title:) Bonus: I love corn on the cob smothered with butter…slathered in butter….
Jeremy Stephens and I having some fun at The Salon!
Near the end of the drying process, I began to love my hair EVEN MORE–I did not know that was even possible. To make my hair experience even more fabulous, Jeremy Stephens cut my bangs and played with my hair. I showed him a picture of Marilyn (yes, I have photos readily available of Marilyn on my phone) and no more than five minutes later…BAM!…I looked like a modern version of the iconic Marilyn Monroe. It was absolute perfection…so, so, so, so, so, amazing. Words cannot express how much I love the new Cob! Walker, you have created the most spectacular name for my ‘do.

Now that I have told y’all about my superb hair pampering day at the AIA Salon, let’s see what the VIP’s outfit of the week is! Come on, fashionistas!
To the nice guy named Austin that gave me a sweet note with your number on a napkin at the salon today…my mom threw it away before I realized what she had done. Please understand that it was not personal. She thought that it was trash.
For future fans and friends, please do not write valuable information on napkins. I recommend brightly colored sticky notes. To my knowledge the mom has not thrown away any valuable information written on sticky notes.
