Hi my name is Lauren and my style crutch is the ponytail.  Hi Lauren. 

Now don’t get me wrong I love a good ponytail.  When they are done with care, a ponytail can be chic and timeless.

Yeah… that’s not how my ponytails look. These ponies take more than two steps. Ponytails for me are the go to style that gives me about 10 more minutes of sleep or when I’m frustrated with my hair and just want to get it off of my face and neck. More than anything, my ponies are safe and I wear them more than I should.  From a professional standpoint, ponytails don’t give me the pulled together look I need as a young manager. So for the month of February, I’m giving you up ponytails. There is one exception to the rule though, workouts. There’s no getting around them in the gym. Other than that, during the workday, when I’m out with friends, the ponytail is a no go.

Wish me luck as I give up my style safety net.  What are you giving up? Be sure to tag us #g2giu!
