nine truths about having dyed hair

    what I wore : tiny bunnies + polka dots

    by Kaylah Stroup April 25, 2013
    details
    shirt – Forever 21
    necklace – Le Petit Lapin Necklace c/o Ji Ji Kiki
    brooch – Sugar Cookie
    ring – c/o August Wrinkle
    skirt – thrifted
    tights – JC Penney
    shoes – BAIT Footwear

    I really try not to be swayed to not wear an outfit based on the fact it doesn’t match my hair. I guess that’s the one thing I’ll agree “comes with the territory”, sometimes my hair color just doesn’t look so hot with an outfit I want to wear. But when I pick out an outfit I really like with my hair color it’s one of the best things ever. This is one of those cases. I suppose all colors look okay with black but this color I’m rocking now looks so excellent with black, especially with this shirt! I wish I could find an outfit that felt this great with every hair color I try out.

    Well, I’m back to work. Today is painting day round two in my office. Yesterday was quite the adventure but I’ll share more about that when I finally finish up this little project and blog about it. Cross your fingers everything goes a bit more smoothly for me today.
    xoxo

    Saturday night, on a complete whim, I decided to bleach and dye my hair. My bathroom cupboard is packed full of hair dye in just about every color I could ever want so I just waited to see how light my hair bleached to before deciding what I wanted to dye it. Oddly enough the …
