the craziest thing i've ever done

DSC_0925
reasons why i think i might have dyed my hair:
  • the angst of the last six months is finally showing face? 
  • i am on board to achieving all the things in life i've ever wanted to and i wanted a tangible reflection of that in my appearance?
  • i was bored?
  • every time i've cut my hair short i've regretted it so doing something different meant i had to take a different route aside from using the scissors?
  • i've always wanted to try ombre but didn't have the guts until i met tonya and realized how awesome it is?
  • i've never ever added any color in my hair, so why not?
  • i wanted to do something just for myself?
i honestly don't know what it was. one second i'm just drooling over hair on pinterest and the next i'm meeting tonya and asking my best friends, "should i do this?" jokingly. and then i'm getting a hair cut and decide to ask my stylist (and soul mate, let's get real) what she'd think about going ombre. she loved the idea. and then i was making the appointment and doing something i have never done before. EVER. make this the craziest thing i've ever done. i kind of think that means i need more crazy in my life. i've just never really been interested, to be quite honest. so who knows what finally made me take the plunge. regardless, i love it. i'm not convinced i'm cool enough to work it, but if i have to fake it, i will.

also- quite possibly jenny and i were the cause of a car accident while we took these. one second we are taking pictures on the railroad tracks and the next i'm peeking over jenny's shoulder because we hear a huge crash. right. in. front. of. us. a male college student had rear ended a truck. i'm going to pretend like he hadn't seen us and therefore only rear ended someone because he was texting while driving.

lastly, montana has already experienced its first snow. sorry but i might just use my hunter's to double as snow boots for the time being because i love them so much (and they're the infamous boots that get complimented on by writer boy.)

I was JUST telling my stylist as I was getting my hair colored that next time I wanted to try ombre! Maybe I will try it next time.

Um, that outfit is pure perfection! I am in love. Those rain boots are absolutely to die for!! My friend and I are taking a trip to Seattle next year, and getting some rain boots is definitely on my list of things to get before I go to Seattle for the first time! Also, the hair is killing me! I LOVE it! It looks so good!

Your hair looks so gorgeous! A lot of the dip-dyed, ombre hair type things I've seen lately I hadn't really liked, but on you it looks so natural and I love it. And your dress and boots combo! I'm using my Hunters + super warm socks to double as snow boots cause I have no other options, haha.

Kelly said...

I like your new hairdo!
