I needed some trim...
teal trim.
none to be found.
so I bought white trim and teal Rit.

but I am not one to let a perfectly good batch of Rit go to waste

so in went the ric rac


and an old chenille bedspread


and some starfish
but then it got crazy.


I had a blonde emergency.
Then a crazy idea.
Time to dye my hair.
Give it a break from the fakey fakeness and straw.


Meet my new dishwater blonde,
 dirty blonde,
no, those descriptions are gross.
Meet my new cafe con leche brownie blonde.


What is all of this dyeing for?
Are you dying to know.


Mwahahahahahah!!!!


Patience my friends, patience....

  2. I just picked up fuchsia dye and I don't even need fuchsia trim ... just had the sudden feeling that I should add more pink to my life.

  9. So cute. Doesn't look dark at all. When I did mine, it almost looked black it was so dark. Hence...the tears and hate for hair color changes and the nervousness for my friend.

    Cannot wait to see....

  13. Sometimes you just gotta dye. Unless you're me and should know better than to try to dye your hair blonde and KNOW it will end up some awesome shade of yellow-orange. Yep, sometimes you gotta let the professionals DYE.
    Can't wait to see what you're up to!!
