what i wore :: fresh hair

head to toe:
cardigan - H&M
dress - thrifted skirt worn as a dress
belt - from another dress
tights - c/o We Love Colors

On Friday I decided my hair needed a bit of brightening. I really liked the faded blue and purple but the blue was starting to look a smidge grey. I am very undecided about what I want to do with my hair at the moment. I want to give it a break from bleaching but I love having bright hair so much! One thing I'm thinking of doing is dying the top layer something close to my natural colour and then keeping the bottom fun colours. That way my roots won't be so noticeable. Oh, what difficult decisions ;)

See that closet behind me? When we moved in it was a yucky brown colour so we decided it needed a makeover. I painted it white and I love it!! We are making small changes all the time to make the house prettier and more 'us'. 

I hope you all are having a great day!

  4. I really love this hair color! It looks like something between a dark and a sea-blue :-)
    But the combination purple and blue was amazing too!
    I totally understand your doubt :-) Choosing a hair color can be so difficult!

  6. I love the pleats in that skirt-turned-dress! Super cute!

    I just discovered the other day that We Love Colors sells tights in bigger-girl sizes, and now they're on my wishlist. I wish more places sold clothes that were bigger than size 16. *Sigh*

  7. I love that dress you're wearing! It looks almost kind of fluffy if you know what I mean. ;) And those tights are gorgeous! I think I need them too.

    And not to forget! Your hair is perfect! I wish I would dare to dye it in bright colours. x)

  12. Gorgeous color! I've thought about that layering thing too, as otherwise I'm not sure I'd get round to dying it every time. But somehow in the past year or so my natural hair color has shifted to dark blond, to a nice reddish brown. I love it so much, I wouldn't dream of dying it now!

  14. Love the hair! Every time you change the color it seriously ramps up my desire to add some color to my hair.

  15. Love the blue hair! I'm planning on rocking the natural colour on top, awesome colour underneath whenever I get around to dyeing my hair again.

  18. Adorable! Love the white closet too! Reminds me of the smooth clean lines in my Grandma's house (in a good way of course!)

  19. I really like the idea of dying it a close-to-natural colour on top and fun colours on the bottom, especially if you're wanting to give your hair a break. Plus if your hair is anything like mine, roots come through way quicker than I'd like (...yet it never seems like my hair is growing fast enough!)
    Just curious, what's your natural colour like? I personally think you're going to look fantastic no matter what colour you do. Every time you re-colour it I find myself going "okay okay THIS one is the best!" Haha.
    You're so lucky you can do that to your hair. If I bleach mine it will literally fall out... my hair is SO sensitive... :(
    Okay, end hair rant. <3

  20. I really like the idea of having the ends dyed. It would look fantastic on you (since everything does!) and it would be so much easier to maintain. Can I have just a wee bit of your bravery and charisma to pull something half as cool off with my hair, please?

  21. thanks everyone! you are all so sweet :)

    jenny, my natural is kind of a dirty blonde...not the nicest colour on me. It is almost a non-colour. I may dye it kind of an actual brown on top. We'll see!

  22. I don't think you could ever go wrong with your hair my dear! I'm loving the house pics too. I will never get over how much I love the colour of those walls :)
