Getting Wiggy

Here is the wig I found and purchased today! The color will be a little different, but this is very close.




There is a little wig shop tucked away in old downtown Overland Park called Doris' that I hadn't been to until this morning. I've known about this store all along from my first time around, but didn't think they'd have anything any different than what I had already seen. I stopped in there without an appointment while I was out running errands and as fate would have it, I found my wig!

The woman who owns the store (Linda) was nice enough to let me slide in since her 10:30 appointment was running late. I got to try on several wigs before they showed up at 10:50. This one is the last one I tried on and I finally felt excited about a wig that felt and looked like ME. I left there without buying it because I didn't want to make a big purchase like that without thinking about it first, especially after having gone to both Brian Joseph's and Missy's Mirror twice in the past week.

I called Mom and Cathi to get their opinions and they both agreed that they hadn't heard me this excited about any of the other wigs I had tried and that I should go for it. I called Linda and set up an appointment to come back later in the afternoon so Mom and I could look at it together.

In the meantime, I ran my errands and then met up with Vinda at Brady's baseball game. After watching them win (YEA!!!), she and I went to lunch at Mimi's Cafe. It was my first time there and I LOVED it! They even gave me 4 free muffins to take home when they heard it was my first time being there. Thank you, Vin for lunch and for my favorite, super-soft towels!!!

Mom and I met up at Doris' for her to see the wig at 3:00, she agreed that it was definitely ME. We deliberated about the color being a bit too light, so I might have a darker shade to try this coming week if the wig company has it in stock. Either way I should have my wig by Wednesday.

Good thing too...my hair is slowly coming out. More hair falls out when I wash it, so I've been walking around with dirty hair all weekend (yuk). I'm trying to wait until Monday when I have to go to work, we'll see if I can make it 'til then!
