Somebody commented that they dressed much more feminine when their hair was shorter as a way of playing up the whole "boyish" hair cut thing. As I got dressed this morning, I noticed how I've started leaning towards more frilly dresses and "let's embrace the curves" pieces... mostly because I like the way the messy mohawk juxtaposes against girly things.
Speaking of embracing your curves, I'm going to go get pistachio ice cream now. Oh and I've developed this odd fetish for mint-colored things... like mint pantyhose and mint lingerie. Sexy, no?

Love mint colored lingerie, I think it really flatters all skin tones! Very sophisticated outfit.
I agree, when I had short hair I felt I could dress a little girlier than I was previously used to...LOVE this vintage dress, looking hot ;)
xx
PS. YUM....Pistachio icecream's my favourite flavour!
Your style is so unique and I love that you make everything look rather effortless (even though it's probably not). I also love the idea of playing up the boyish-ness of your new hair cut with more feminine pieces. You look great, as always :)
Super classy outfit - I love black and white combinations. What does your tattoo say?
P.S. I loved your haircut so much, I mentioned it on my blog and used one of your photos. Hope that's okay!
AMAZING
YOu look Fucking fantastic Karla!
mint color is very classy! and very cute outfit :]

Goodness, can you do any wrong!? I like the skirt on you, and in love with the pumps!
AND, I'm still very much in love with that haircut!! I've been wanting to get a mohawk inspired cut, or something along that line, and yours is very inspiring!
You really do look like a flight attendant!!
CLOTHEDMUCH.BLOGSPOT.COM
Parson me for not reading first, I mean "dress" as opposed to skirt.
Pardon*
Oh, quick question: What does your bf think about your current haircut?
The hair definitely balances out the outfit, those shoes of yours are my favorite.
I also loved the peach leggings in the post below.
You look great! I would love to see a closet tour I know it'd be grand! && I ♥ how you've been updating so frequently ;)
mint lingerie sounds perfect. it's so much subtler than red or pink or black, but still totally sexy.
This outfit is so classy - love it! You are beautiful, Karla. I also envy your ability to wear high heels all the time. On a scale of 1 to 10, my pain tolerance is 0. Keep rocking it, Karla!
love the difference between this outfit and the previous! very unique karla
xs
you totally rock the new hair.
you are one awesome chick!!! :)
Hey Karla.
Love the outfit, as always:)
You are quite the inspiration.
Well anyway, I'm going to two little weekend trips to San Francisco & Malibu soon and wanted to know if there were any good shops in those places that you would recommend.
Thanks :)
--Sunday Girl.
I just cut all my hair off and I've been dressing more feminine too. I think it's a mental thing. I love that dress!
Love those heels, very fierce. And pistachio ice cream sounds sooo good right now!

http://breakfastatsaks.blogspot.com
PERFECT! so classy....adorable. you've never looked better! absolutely love the tatts too
Amen to the mint thing, that's my new infatuation as well. Also you inspired me to take a chance with my hair too and now it's reddish purple :) But now i kinda want a hawk. Those pumps are so glamorous and I love that skirt on you.
mmm pistachio ice cream!! i think it makes sense to wear things that look very "woman" when you have short hair because I think a short haircut + sexy clothes makes an overall powerful statement.
once I was wearing a fedora with all of my hair tucked into it and a blazer + wide legged pants and this man I was paying at a farmer's market stand said "thank you sir" to me. I was left a little stunned. I made a mental note never to repeat that outfit. lol.
Nothing beats mint+chocolate chips ice cream ;)
awesome skirt! I just love black and white stripes! as for dressing more femininely with short hair, I did not do that when I cut my hair. then again, i didn't cut my hair as short as yours; mine was just at my ears, and I wore a bunch of pants after that. but now that my hair is growing out a bit more, i keep finding myself wearing skirts. but awesome outfit and heels!
-Amanda
i love how you can switch it up and still look amazing.
oh and there's a mint colored lace bodysuit at urban outfitters. tempting? lol.
wow! you have arm muscle karla! very sexy of you.
you look great. i love the classic, sophisticated dress with the edgy haircut.

Cute!
love love :-)
for some reason, the whole "pistachio ice cream" part of your post struck me as the funniest thing I've ever heard someone say... i'm still giggling ;)
RE S-R: What does the bf think of your 'do?
Wow those shoes are so hot. You look great x Sushi
Terribly adorable. I have short hair too, and I completely understand the whole "let's look more girly because i have a boy hair cut" :D
I love the platform heels, what a pity Asian branches of bebe do not stock them. They are so perfect with everything!
X
Mint is my favourite right now too, I'm even painting my room that colour! I do like how you're balancing out the rad haircut with more classically girly pieces.
I do like the way the messy Mohawk juxtaposes against your girly pieces.
And mint lingerie?? I thought I was the only one!! hahah :)
xo!!
Did you color your hair darker because it looks so striking in these pictures!!! Very complementary of the black and white ensemble and visa vera.
Love the platforms
rock on girlie x
Love this!
Karla, you have such great style.
love love love!
I love rockin out the curves... it's definetly a great way to feel sexy! love those heels too.
megan http://mallratcouture.blogspot.com
I have a major love for anything mint coloured, and I mean EVERYTHING. including mint chocolate chip icecream, mmh
love the shoes!!!
You look wonderful! I used to love to go to Fashiontoast but Rumi has become a bit too grungy/trashy for my liking. You have like the perfect balance between sophistication and grunge, girly and boyish etc.
I normally don't favor boyish/very short cuts but that haircut of yours is HOT!
This is probably my favorite look of yours to date. You look so retro, but so modern and amazing. I love it!
Yes! Curves! This look really does look quite awesome with your new hair. Can't wait to see what else you'll come up with!
I Love your hair! I used to have the same cut, gosh, 8 years ago. I LOVE IT on you. You are gorgeous. :) great skirt.
your hair is getting a little more awesome with every day.
i just cut my hair short again too and every time that i do - i always feel i need to balance it with what i wear, just so that i wont feel so boyish.
love the outfit though (as always)
xoLA
i am seriously jealous of you right now! lvoe the outfit...and mint is a very pretty color...
This is one of my favorite looks of yours, especially the dress. How fabulous!

I love the vintage feel of the outfit. It looks so fab on you! & your hair is amazing(:
How do you pull off the hair do at the gym? Just wondering....please answer!!
I love the color mint, its so soft and yet fresh and unexpected
ADORE the outfit, you look like you came from the 40s!
I love mint ice cream and pistachio! MMMM. You are looking quite fierce :)
Love Love Love Ur shoes!
AHHHHHHHHH
I'm SOOOOOOO loving this cut on you dear!!! Absolutely superb. My heart literally jumped when the pics loaded! lol
<3
love.always.ADORE***
Flock of Seagulls anyone?
This whole outfit just screams "class." I love it. Also, I had no idea that it was a dress at first.
I'm noticing mint is the new color. I'll have to look into that....

Love this!
Much better than the lace legging outfit..
I'm in love with the Bebe pumps.
meh. you've got such a pretty figure but this outfit just makes you look stumpy and cuts you off in all the wrong places. kudos for trying. but the dress added like 15 lbs to your lower section.
do love mint tho :)
Didn't get to comment on your 'hawk' post: Still loving that parkas and also the dress and fringe necklace. (I'm about to make a fringe/tassle earring! Will show in my blog eventually.) And WOW - great hairdo, you look beautiful!
One of my fave sweaters is mint colored (pale mint) - love it!
Can't stop looking at your gorgeous hair! ;)
You've taken your look to a whole different level with your hair. It's so fresh & so chic. Watching how your hair styles have progressed throughout your blog is so neat & this one takes the cake!
Can't wait to see what kind of mint coloured confections you bring!
-Jojo Wonderlandhill.blogspot.com
I LOVE that skirt...you look fabulous as usual :)
And I agree with the mint green obsession--it's fresh and light, but not too sweet and girlish.
How I adore stripes. Such a great outfit
I'm totally inlove with mint colored things at the moment!
I'm currently looking for a pair of mint colored oxfords ^_^
what about coral? I'm also crazy about this color at the moment.
must be the spring.
love this. but i think if the dress was a wee bit shorter i would love it more. mint? mint is RAD!
You look so amazingly fab right here. Almost like somebody from a different era
the skirt is amazing....
Funny you mentioned the mint thing, becuse i've just got my eyes up for that colour and i'm looking for a mintcoloured nail polish. But they don't have it in the tiny town i live in now, so i have to wait until i move back to oslo next week. But it's such a long time to wait:(
PS: LOVE the outfit!
haha mint sounds alright
you are looking lovely
It seems me the newest Marc Jacobs collection. I love how your haircut looks with feminine clothes!
yh, mint sounds good, love the black and white esemble, yh the juxtapositioning of feminine and boyish hairstylen is a perfect combination.
www.co-co-butter.blogspot.com
Mint green is sweet, makes me hungry and it's very sexy!=D
You high heels is way too cool!=D
Love the dress and that haircut just looks better and better.
Oohh yes to mint!
And I want some ice cream now!
I love how you mentioned that you´re getting some! :)
The skirt is great!
:)
x
omg, the haircut looks amaaazing on you!
your haircut is simply hardcore. kudos
and seriously woman your fashion tastes have just exceeded my expectations.
its bloody brilliant
Wow ! You are soooo amazing !!!!!!!!
<3
Mint coloured lingerie is amazing I agree.
I love this outfit, that skirt is great and looks amazing with the belt, shoes and top.
Hayley.

I have developed the same mont-obsession lately as well..! Especially with lingerie, but also got a pair of really mint-y skinny jeans from H&M...and so on!
Love how you styled your new hair today :)
Love your look !
http://lliiizu.blogspot.com/
You're so beautiful and I love this styling really much (reminds me of the 50s <3).. You're haircut looks great (although I loved the older one a little more).
Xoxo
Contrary to popular belief, I actually miss your old hair. Love the dress though.
Great dress! I love the placement of your tattoos too! I recently bought a mint green lace bodysuit, love that color!
http://www.wreckedstellar.wordpress.com
hey karla,
sort of random question but i was wondering what church you go to over there?
lovely outfit by the way!
ruth from brisbane
Love how you dress up so beautifully edgy!! You look so damn great! ;D
I love your skirt and your hairs!
Love the sophisticated dress and the platforms are making the outfit a little edgy. They are just perfect!
The mohawk, the shoes and the dress; it's a killer look ;)
Hey Karla
Just discovered your blog and I think it is amazing! You have a really great style and it looks like you're really having fun with it.
I'm from Denmark and the next time you're in Europe you should really swing by wonderful Copenhagen - I think you would really enjoy the city and some of the danish designs.

I am loving all these posts! I love waking up to a new outfit from Karla's Closet. So...thanks!
So jealous that you have curve to show off!
You look old.
Love love love.
Much "

i love your hair, it is effing awesome. each time you cut your hair, your style gets more and more awesome as well!
I love mint coloured anything. You + your style are perfect.
You definately inspired me to start my own blog:)
This outfit reminds me Kate Beckinsale's style in Pearl Harbor The Movie .
There is 'un je ne sais quoi' :)
Hi Karla!
I must say , i love your blog with your good looking outfits!
I got inspired by one of your outfits and had to draw you!
I have posted the picture in my blog and i would be very happy if u comment on it! :)
Thanks!
http://mipaula.blogg.se/2009/may/karlas-closet.html
ugh. i totes want to be you when i grow up.
somehow this reminds me of old hollywood glamour. it must be the knee length pinstriped skirt. i love it! such a breath of fresh air
I absolutely do the same when I chop off all my hair. I start wearing more makeup, skirts, and bright colors. I love how freeing it is! I don't think I have the stones for a 'hawk, but I love yours!
http://betweenlaundrydays.blogspot.com
wonderful! i love it! especially the skirt and the bag!
http://colorthecloset.blogspot.com/
absolutely love the girly move! i was a bit shocked to see you wearing it but it was a pleasant surprise..i like your girly looks more than the boyish looks
just lovely...
This has got to be the worst outfit you've ever worn. Make syou look huge and old, why would anyone wanna gor for that kind of look? But it's true, mint lingerie and pistachio ice cream are hot.
The commenter is right. My hair is buzzed to the white meat ( well, not really but you get the point lol) and I tend to lean towards more feminine pieces now, than I did before, just to play the haircut up. Its a fantastic contrast... I live for those pumps honey!
Very nice pics! Just wonder, is it a tatoo you've got at your arm? Have never seen it before. If it is, what does it image? Hugs
I just saw the picture of you and Krystal on What is Reality Anyway? and I've decided you should smile more! You have a gorgeous smile! And duh, I'm loving the hair.
i've looked through your whole blog cause i just love your stlye so much. and i would say that this haircut really looks good on you. i've seen that you have a bf. how long have you two been together?
Hi Karla, love the new hair. Can you show us some pics of your room after it is renovated?
love it x
Beautiful outfit ;) love the pumps! ;)
Really loving the haircut! I can honestly say I don't think I'd be able to get through my work day without your blog...go you! Keep it up =)
the hawk couldn't look more better with that outfit.
you do it exactly the way it should be done to get the most fun of the hair. amazing look.
I love the shoes
LOVE the outfit with mohawk.. seriously PERFECT!!!

I relli love your outfit! you are totally right, your hair and the feminine dress balance each other out in perfect harmony!

You are probably the best looking human I've ever seen. You're perfect!
i must say your new hair is so edgy and you're rocking it!
great outfit! :)
xx, Caroline
I think that this may be my fav of yours yet....fabulous is every way!!
pistachio ice cream is my favorite! good choice!
a bit of a rock-a-billy feel ...but adorable.
omg! i started to get obsessed with mint to! i love mint colored things now (especially shoes or pantyhose)!
i love the french feel of it. :D
~lulu
I like this alot
you look super gorgeous <3
Beautiful outfit and realy sexy heels!!!
You really have great taste in shoes, especially the heels!
awesome fashion.
Dudeeeeee u r actually one of the main blogchamps that is worth all the hype....ur style aesthetics is OFFICIAL!!! it keeps getting better, the evolution well documented...go head wit ur bad self, cuz u SHUT it down every time!!!!
i defo think more people should blog about lingerie, in a non-pervy way.
do you not think old skool stockings and suspenders, and perfect bras, are the most amazing things ever?
xx
Divine Karla! Love the oversized clutch and new haircut :) Oh, and your aviators in the last post are h.o.t
xx

I have a mint coloured bra with chocolate stripes. I believe it is the cutesy bra I ever owned.
totally with you on the whole mint thing. obsessed. i'm not loving the proportion that that skirt creates for you legs though.
this looks very vintage like , umm mabye 50s or something like that
its very cute
I prefer to your boyish style....
I love the skirt!!
i've been digging mint coloured things too... n i love ur outfit. u seem to be able to pull off anything.
WOW.
U LOOKED A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!
=)
i would make it shorter:)
Great outfit & the haircut looks great too! I've added your blog an my blog roll, cuz I love it ! xoxo maybe you'll visit my blog www.ceimbracazi.ro
amaaaazing
you look amazing. gallant. :)
I'm glad you embrace your curves. It's great to see a fashion blog with a girl who isn't a stick, makes you easier to relate to!
I don't usually comment.. your style is quite far from my own, but I enjoy seeing what you come up with, I think it's always nice and surprising. This, though, this I love. And you're right about the hard vs. soft or girly vs. edgy thing. In fact I feel a stack more comfortable wearing girly things when I've got tough hair to balance it out. Nice one.
gorgeous!!
i worte a post about your style:
http://vintagejesusfashion.blogspot.com/2009/05/sommer-trends.html
i hope it is okay and you can look after it.#love lara
Hey there your style is AMAZING. Im adding u to my blog roll... i LOVE YOUR BLOG its ever so inspiring! =)
your style is superb, looks even better with the hair! i adore your tattoos too! so hot
this is the greatest outfit I've seen here in a time, the stipes in that skirt fits you perfectly, it brings out the edge in your haircut.
Hi, i'm making an art project with a vacuum cleaner and i'd like to know what it could mean metaphorically ( for example, it means a child which absorbs every image they see).. COuld you readers help me please? Thank you
Karla!! i absolutely adore that hair, it screams of rebellion against your femininity!
keep it up girl, you just might be the next face to grace the cover of vogue!
ciao bella.
you look ugly with your new hair.
quit trying to be like rihanna.
Amazing outfit!You remind me of pin-up girls...you are like the updated version.
Your shoes .. I love it, love to see how tall it really is, and it is in black. Gosh I would kill for it!
I'm not really a fan of the skirt but i like everything else, and i love the new haircut. i have been busy with graduation, so it has been a while since i've been on the site.
derrochas glam! :)
i am dying for your hair! you pull it off wonderfully! xo
you have fat arms. not soo fashionable methinks babes
xoxoxoxo
this is bad, the dress is super un-flattering. your hair looks like a backwards skunk tail on your forehead.
Karla, awesome outfit! I adore your blog.

Hope to see more from you.Have a wonderful day.;D

i freaking love your outlook on life, no cigarettes for dinner, no starving, just being happy and doing as u want. good work, x
her arms are muscular, not fat. some of the readers of this blog are really stupid. you can see the muscle definition in her arms!
Embracing curves? You're like a size 2. Your view of embracing curves is wear leggings with a shirt. You have no idea what the meaning of curves are? I mean sure you're not as skinny as other bloggers but you are skinny- camera's add 10 pounds! I find that most of the famous bloggers are stick thin. Which says something about the fashion industry. The industry promotes super thin, skinny, emaciated girls by limiting clothing sizes (I'm not an idiot it's way more expensive for YSL to make a suite in a size 14 than a size 2) and using those girls to promote their clothing. My best female friend is 6'0" 130 and a size 0, she is the skinniest person I know but I can't see a bone because she is all muscle. The models they send down the runway are 5'10" and are only a mere 100 pounds. CRAZY! Bloggers are suppose to break that boundary, right? Well... it seems like the only ones lucky enough to make it to the big leagues are the skinny and the rich. Sure you shop at flea markers but you also shop at places where shoes are $500. So I will say it again, curves? Curves? Don't insult me. And don't confuse other girls by representing yourself as a women with curves. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as insulting. I'm a size 9 and 5'8" so I am constantly battling with my size. I'm normal, yet I still find it difficult to fit into my size and find myself fluctuating between sizes. I have to wear the largest size in a pair of the most amazing leather Alexander Wang zip up shorts and it's not my fault. I'm not bitter, I'm pissed. (not at you though) I know your intention was not to state that you're this super curvy girl who's not in the least bit skinny and I have probably twisted your words a bit and for that- I apologize.
loving the "hawk" - that is one look my face could never pull off!
love these bebe pumps, looks great!
xoxoalizee.blogspot.com
lovely!
big fan of your style karla
xoxo
i notice ur hairstyles have been from rihanna!! nice tho <3
Not my favourite outfit, but I am liking you in more feminine things! very cute... and mint lingerie, luv it! great xoxo http://fashionforafashionista.blogspot.com/
fabulous look on you! all of it. :)
it's great. perfect colours and just enough structure.
^^ at Anonymous with the long post -- agreed.
Hiii Karla!
Just wanted to say congrats on your blog! I absolutely love your style, it's so inspiring! I like your haircut 2! Girls with short hair rule! (Guess what mine looks like? :D)
Grtz, B. from Belgium
Curves are one of those things, if you have'em, you gotta work with'em. there's nothing you can do about it right, well you are stunning and working those curves with every outfit! Love the girly outfit against badass hair for sure!
jess s//
i really love your new hair. since i keep mine short too, i am always checking back to see what you have done. balls girl! big balls!
sexy! and feminine you are all the way! i have such short hairs, too. i know that...
^^^
Kudos to the super-long post by anonymous above... I agree whole-heartedly. I'm about the same height as Karla -5ft 4-, but I am a UK sie 10/12= US 6/8. Even I am told off for thinking of myself as curvy by friends who regard me as quite petite and I'm definitely bigger than you, Karla. But I'm happy with that, I like having wide hips and a bust. Karla, you are a size 2/4 and weigh about 110lb. You are a very slim girl. Just because you don't cross the boundary of being completely emaciated like fashion models are, does not make you curvy!!! You are small and toned, and you look great, but don't try and fly the flag for the curvy girls as if you're one of us, because you're really not.
If any of that sounded harsh, I apologise. I love your blog Karla, and think you look great! Just be aware that you ARE A PETITE GIRL.
BTW, looking forward to this wardrobe post you said you'll be giving once your room is done. :-)
Great Dress Karla!
