7 tips for maintaining bright hair color

    what I wore: golden tote

    jacket – Vegan Leather Moto Jacket c/o Golden Tote
    shirt – c/o Golden Tote
    necklace –c/o Shlomit Ofir
    lapel pin – No Fun Press

    For this outfit post I teamed up with Golden Tote, a company I’m very excited to tell you about! Golden Tote is basically the ultimate surprise grab bag! They have two different tote sizes, $49 for 2-3 items, or $149 for 5-7 clothing items. Those bags have a retail value of up to $200 and $600, respectively. What happens is you get to choose 1-2 items to go in your tote and then they surprise you with the rest based on a short quiz you fill out on the site.

    golden tote review

    New styles launch on the first Monday of every month so November’s style just recently went live. It was a tough choice for me to choose what two items I wanted in my bag since there were quite a few items I was pining over. As it turned out I ending up loving everything in my tote.  But if I didn’t, they actually have a trading group on Facebook, so it would have all worked out regardless! In my tote I received the two items shown in the outfit above as well as a dress, and two more sweaters which I’m sure I’ll be showing off in outfit posts in the near future. I’m supremely picky about sweaters and somehow I ended up with three I really like. I’m pretty pumped.

    Can’t finish this post off without talking about how much I love these photos! I. AM. OBSESSED. I felt so incredible in this outfit, which I’m going to blame on that jacket. I might have even wore the whole outfit two days in a row. The location just felt perfect for the whole look, definitely one of my favorite little hidden spots in Cleveland. My hair looks amazing with the graffiti. Basically, I feel reeeeal good!

    I’ve shared photos of my new hair color already but I do like making an “official” post about it after each big change. Even if only so I can document the colors I used. I mix shades like crazy so without making note of it somewhere I have no idea for future reference. This is …
