hiya!
hope everyone's weeks is going well. i wore this to work the other day. it has pretty much all my favorite 70's colors, mustard, burnt orange and a nice navy blue to balance the warmth of the other two tones. throw in some avocado green, though, and i would have been swimming in 70's colors! my dream <3
on a side note, my bangs are at that awkward point where i constantly feel like a pirate with a bang-eye-patch over my right eye. pirates are cool but so is seeing out of both eyes. i also don't want to look like a beaver gnawed my bangs either which tends to happen when i have cut my own bangs. neither are good looks.
i have a love/hate relationship with my hair, one moment, it is behaving as it should and other times i curse it, wishing i went to beauty school to learn how to cut my own god damn hair! i just need to go get a hair cut! hehe
c'est la vie!

okk adorable shoes! omgoodness! and your hair is amazinggg and its getting so long and i just love this whole look it matches your layout!
ReplyDeletemuch love!
if i could i would wear these shoes everyday! they are the perfect height for me and easy to ride in too! i know my hair is getting SOOOOOO long, it is crazy! that day was a good hair day but just you watch, it will rear its ugly head sooner or later!
DeleteI love this color palette! Your shoes are AWESOME! You outfit is lovely! Two thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteI have the pirate thing going on with my bangs, too! I totally understand what you mean. My hair almost has a mind of its own.
I love your glasses. The sort of cat eye thing is something I just adore!
thanks kristen! i know what is up with the pirate bangs! currently pinning them to the side has been my savior.
DeleteYou look so awesome - great colour palette!! My hair is fairly out of control most of the time, it has so many kinks and I just can't have a fringe (it's what we call bangs) as I have the worst cow lick ever! I think every girl has hair drama!
ReplyDeleteAlso yah for wearing glasses, all the cool girls are doing that now ;)
i have all types of hair going on. i have the straight hairs, i have the super kinky hairs and then i have the curly and then the wavy, i am not sure how it all works sometimes but sometimes they all decide to act as one and that is when i have a good hair day. man hair is so fickle! glad i am not the only one with hair drama! sometimes a wig would be nice!
DeleteWhat if you had avocado green skinny jeans? Just sayin' they'd be AMAZING! You look adorable and your hair looks totally normal to me!
ReplyDeletenow you have done it! i have semi avocado jeans and i just might to try this outfit on! well my hair does look normal because it wanted to but other days it behaves badly and those are the days i hide ;D
DeleteI think your hair looks lovely! Great outifit too, and I'm so jealous of your shoes, I want a pair!!! :)
ReplyDeletexo L
ha if you only new! one day i will post a picture of my hair behaving badly and you will all run with fear in your eyes! hahaha but thanks sweetie!
Deletei LOVE thos outfit, especially those sexy shoes. and mustard yellow is one of my absolute favorite colors, especially for clothes! and yesterday when you said on twitter you had bang resentment, i thought maybe they looked awkward, but your hair always looks great, i don't know what you were talking about!
ReplyDeletei want to live in these shoes if that is at all possible. do you think that is possible to live in a pair of shoes? i mean they might get a little stinky but really who smells feet. well, maybe feet fetish people but they are just weird anyways! haha
DeleteI love the colors of this outfit! Haha, I know how it is when your hair just annoys you to death. It looks lovely though!
ReplyDeletexo,
Em
i like these colors too, good tones for you. i'm particularly crazy about those shoes. i like how your hair looks here but then again i totally understand that love hate relationship with hair.
ReplyDeletethanks tina! you have the most beautiful hair EVER! i want it on my head right now! hehe
DeleteOMG I am obsessed with your shoes! So pretty- love the color and I know you are having a love/hate relationship with your hair right now but I love it! The waves are awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
xoxo.

it is just getting a little frizzy and a good but would bring back the wavy and curls more but that would require me to dish out $75 to get like an inch off which would then be really sad because the length is what is keeping me from cutting it! what a pickle i am in! hehe
DeleteGurl! I'll cut your hair if you're down! But don't be shy about saying "NO Kelly you freak! I want a professional to do it!" I swear my feelings would not be hurt at all.
ReplyDeleteGURL! i want a hair cut but then i don't want a hair cut because i am going to super sad that it is shorter!i mean it is at my boobies and that was a life goal of mine and i am inching my way closer and closer to becoming the tattooed mermaid i have always wanted to be!
Deleteheheeh, beaver. Looking groovy lady! You remind me of the cool red haired chick from that 70s Show.
ReplyDeleteoh my glob! you have just made my day! that girl from the 70's show is HOT! i mean i don't really look like her but to be told i remind someone of her is like super awesome! i know tom would DIE if i dressed like i was from that 70's show!
DeleteSuch a cute outfit and I love your glasses!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS OUTFIT!!! The colors are awesome and its so cute. I always cut my own bangs, thats probably why they are always a mess. I'm also in love with your glasses and shoes.
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit - your cute sweater is to die for (I love stripes)! I have a total love-hate relationship with my hair, too. I can't style it to save my life, and it's so frustrating because whenever I leave the salon it looks so nice and smooth and sleek and styled...until the next morning when it goes back to look either frizzy or like a poufy triangle (thanks to my terrible attempts at a blow-out)! I need lessons stat!
ReplyDeleteXO
i know i am a huge sucker for stripes, i have a ton in my closet :) i have a hard time styling my hair especially if it doesnt look good down, oh goodness save me! its tough. i love going to the salon because my hair can usually last a while before i can wash it, sometimes i just wish i had a personal assistant to help me do my hair!
Deletethe colour is great and i'm at THAT point with my hair too so I know exactly what you're talking about!! I actutally cut off a few strands of my fringe [bangs!] this evening but thankfully I came to my senses and stopped before it all went wrong, which it always does with me!
ReplyDeletei used to cut my own bangs but my stylists kept on saying things about it and it got super annoying so i stopped. i have never taken my bangs too short and i hope it never happens but you never know when you might get scissor happy!
Deletei'm not allowed to cut my own hair anymore... so happy the woman who cut it does bang trimmings for FREE! you always look perfect, bang eye patch or no. <3
ReplyDeletei should ask if my girl does free bang trims, that would be amazing! yea i always get told not to cut my own bangs, the guy i used to go too said i do them for free so just come in! yea right, i can barely fit in time to sleep let alone go across town to get my bangs trimmed.. uggh i hate being a human sometimes, so much work! hahaha
Deletethis is my kind of outfit :) i totally need a haircut too, it's all sorts of unruly!

Hey! Just wondering what kinda of bike you have? It looks pretty and functional.
ReplyDeletethanks for asking! i ride a SOMA buena vista. we bought the frame off of craigslist and put it all together! it was super fun! let me know if you have any other questions <3
DeleteLove the outfit and love the hair! My best tip for cutting your own fringe is NOT to wet it - cut it dry because if you cut it wet it will always spring up way higher than you planned it once it dries. Even if, like me, you've been cutting your own fringe for years and yet somehow you still never learn. Well, I remembered last time and it WORKED!
ReplyDeleteAlso, just do a little bit one day then leave it alone and live with it for a day or two. Not only will you find stray hairs which you missed (EVERY time!) but knowing that the first cut isn't the final version tends to stop me from getting too scissor happy and cutting it too short!
Or...get your husband to do it!
One final thought (who knew I had so many thoughts about fringes?): don't ever let your hairdresser make you feel bad about fucking with your own hair. Shop around until you find one who's not going to nag you. It spoils your visit, and getting a haircut is such a treat, it should not be spoiled by anyone, least of all the person you're giving your hard-earned pennies to!
