I Did It!

Told ya I wanted to die my hair. It was darker yesterday before I washed it. I suspect it's going to be just like when I died it brown a few months back & I'll be back to blond in a couple weeks. I like it though so maybe I'll try to keep it up for a while. I already bought another box so I may be able to get enough color saturation.

The dress is new. It's from Newport News & I ordered it months ago but it finally came a little over a week ago. I had to buy pantyhose before I could wear it. My legs are not looking good enough to go bare. These are my same tri color shoes also from Newport News. It's cold today so I have my leopard print jacket today but I didn't want to cover the dress in the picture. I hope you appreciate it brrrrr.

My Inner Rockstar Making a Play for the Surface

I took Friday off to take Fiona to her checkup so I didn't get a photo. You can imagine jeans & a t-shirt though.

I cleaned our room this weekend and found this sweater which I'd forgotten I owned. It's from Express & I'm quite fond of it. The pants and tank are also from Express and you've seen em before. I did find a bunch of things I hadn't worn on a while though so I'm gonna try to mix it up more.

Okay check out my hair. You may think it looks stupid but I think it's cool. I achieve this effect by sleeping with it in several braids and then I finger comb it in the morning. My flair for drama has been seeping through recently so you may be seeing me trying a few more risky fashion ideas.

Pantene Beautiful Lengths

I've been using Pantene products for years and generally find them to be good quality products that do what they say they will. I recently switched from the moisturizing formula to the Beautiful Lengths formula and had been very happy. Dry hair is a common problem with long hair but this keeps it moisturized without making it limp.

I also found out that they are sponsoring a program that benefits cancer patients. People donate their hair to be made in to wigs for cancer patients who have lost their hair.

There are other programs that do the same or similar thing . My Mom's actually done this through Locks of Love . These are good causes so pass this on to anyone you know who might be interested.

Saturday Wear

We never got around to taking a fresh pic on Friday (it was a crazy day) so I'm breaking from tradition and showing you what I wore when we went out to dinner on Saturday. We went to Amici's Pizza in Vacaville. If it was some where fancier I'd have put on something else.

I was hoping to capture the coolness of my hair but I'm not sure you can tell how wavy it was. I used Bumble and Bumble surf spray after I washed it and let it air dry. It looked like I'd pent the day at the beach. If we'd actually spent the day at the beach my skin would be the same color as the tank top, I'm so pale.

The jeans are the same Old Navy ones you've seen before the cut is called the Flirt by the way. I got that tank at Kohls last year shortly before I found out I was pregnant so I think this is the second time I've worn it.

My Punishment

Here as atonement for my photo issues of the last two days a picture of me in high school. Those of you who know me personally have already seen this one but I had to work with what I've got on hand. BTW I did that fabulous cut myself no flowbee for me, freehand baby.

Today's outfit & an after picture of my hair



This shirt is a bit of a departure for me. I don't usually wear things that hang straight down like that because I'm busty and if it's not done rite I just look fat. I would have tucked the blouse in but the pants are also a little to big because I'm still in the process of loosing baby weight.

I like the hair cut. I'm still getting the hang of styling it so if you think it looks weird give me a couple days. It's so fluffy now also for some reason my hair tries to curl for a few days every time I cut it which is strange because it's normally very straight.

Note to self: If you're going to have your picture taken every day you need to do something about your eye makeup.
