This dress was a mess...it was extremely heavy & the lining showed around the neckline. I nearly just sent it back without wearing it. The colors & pattern were pretty enough that I thought it deserved a wear, but just iPhone photos.
Kate didn't understand my choice of cardigan...but I think it's perfect. What say you?
I can't remember the last time I dyed my hair...May? This is practically my own hair color. I want to do something different for autumn...but not sure what. Darker red straight asymmetrical bob?
My make-up with this outfit included...Deep Blue eyeliner by NYX, Urban Decay eyeshadow in Heroine & Last Sin, Love + eyeshadow from Sugarpill, NYX lip palette in The Reds, & Little Red Wagon nail polish by OPI.
Hi, cute girlies!
Silly girlies...
Fooding before the show...
Them Coulee Boys starting out the night. We've seen them before, so I was looking forward to them...but holy buckets were they on fire! It turns out they tried to play the barn four years ago & were turned down, so they had something to prove. Amazing! I hope they come back for a full night next year.
Futurebirds from Athens, Georgia...& not one mention of REM. They were alright.
My Wednesday farmers' market flowers from earlier in the day...dahlias darling. I wore this dress again the next day without makeup to run errands, make cauliflower & salmon with crispy garlic for lunch for David & I...then go over to Angie's to be mobbed by dogs & put together IKEA furniture. All the doggies!
Darker red would be cool. My hair *is* red, but it's faded over the years and there are a few little grays. My favorite reds for box dye are the Feria ones. I use C74 on the regular, but for more intense, I mixed 74 and 66 or 68. You could also do a deep fuchsia, if your job will let you get away with it. I did turquoise for a bit...it was fun, but my only gripe was that I felt like I couldn't wear some of my wardrobe with it. For that, I'm all about Jerome Russell Punky Colour. They sell it at Ulta, but if you want all the colors, Amazon's usually better.
ReplyDeleteThe Melissa Masse dresses you post always look so good on you. :)
Thanks! Melissa Masse makes some super cute dresses...this one wasn't so great in person. I used to be a hairdresser, so I have access to all the stuff at beauty supplies. Typically, I used Redken red dyes...but there are so many new ones out now. I've wanted to try some fun Pulp Riot colors, but I'm afraid that would be distracting while being a therapist. Luckily, I did all the fun colors in high school.
