Pain in the...

I still have not figured out how to not get a headache from my hair in a bun all day. It was 4:15 when I was finally able to take my hair down. As it feel down from it's high crown, I could feel my headache lessen. There is nothing like that feeling. Aaaaahh!

My comfort zone.

                                          

                                           

Day 6 of the new hair color and I still love it. Although, I realized the other day, once I get a gray hair, it is going to stick out like a bright light! Why didn't I go blonde?!

I must admit I'm having a hard time dressing how I usually would, with bright colors. Some would say that bright colors are who I am, so not wearing them makes me feel less like myself. I think the black and other dark colors with my hair look so simple and classic. Maybe tomorrow I'll wear some bright pink.

Time for a change...

The last time I dyed my hair, I was in middle school and it was with red Kool-Aid. It was during my grunge/punk phase. Which is an entirely different topic. Let's just say we all have that time in our lives we wish we could go back and re-do.

I noticed some gray hairs the other day - you better believe I pulled those suckers out! But I knew they'd be back. So I picked up a couple boxes of dye and called my girlfriend over. It's a little darker than I wanted right away, but it's growing on me, literally.

On trend.

Sometimes I make a fashion decision that I'm not always sure is a good idea. Recently, I bought a floral jacket bomber style on my Vinted app from my favorite vintage seller. I liked it and it was cheap, but I want exactly sure how to wear it. Yes, I do have that problem. So I let it sit in my closet for a few days before I tried to make it an outfit. 

Well, the fashion gods heard my cry and answered. I got the newest InStyle edition (aka - The Fashion Bible) and what do you know? There was a section about a new trend of bomber jackets! It was like this magazine was written for me!

It's not yet summer, and it feels like it's a long ways away, but this jacket screams spring and I can't wait for it to get warmer. Me, and every other North Dakotan.

S-A-L-E

 

 

Standing in line at The Limited today my 5 year old asks, "What does S-A-L-E spell?" That my dear boy, is a sale! There is such a good clearance sale going on at The Limited online and in store. I bought a sweater, a button down blouse, and a belt for $30. Be sure to check it out before all the good stuff is gone. Don't lose the coupon they give you for 50% off on January 11-February 1! These are some other pieces (printed blouse, color block sweater and boyfriend jeans) that I wouldn't mind grabbing up! Happy shopping!

Winter Maxi

 

Happy January 1st!! In North Dakota, the weather can be at its coldest. This will usually put a damper on my wardrobe and I would rather wear a sweater and jeans than dressing up. The rest of this winter I have decided - resolved maybe? - To wear more dresses.

Looking through my closet now to find a cute maxi dress that I can take from summer to winter and still be warm and stylish. Because I'm not completely crazy, I will would wear this on a 20 degree day. When it's -40, all fashion rules go out the window and I try to avoid frostbite.

1. Always always a statement necklace.

2. Maxi dress, I chose a darker color so you don't look out of season. Wearing your thin bright turquoise maxi will make others think you are freezing, when you will be.

3. Jacket, because it's still winter.

4. Purse, bag, clutch, something to carry your junk.

5. Tights, a solid color that won't clash with the dress.

6. Booties. I could decide if booties or flat boots. I think either could work if they weren't too bulky.
