Dress: vintage- thrifted & shortened Tights: Target Shoes: F21 Bag: thrifted Bracelet: vintage shop Necklace: ebay
Normal hair again! It almost feels strange after being blue all week.
Actually I finally cut and dyed it properly-- for the last few months I've been using black henna from Lush to dye my hair, but I couldn't take it anymore and had to go back to my normal dye. It was fine and all (and I love that it's not made from bad chemicals, of course!) but didn't totally cover my blonde roots and gave bits of my hair a red tint. I liked that it looked more natural, but I can't stand having visible roots and a brownish/blackish/red situation going on. I think henna would be good to use every now and then, and maybe if I really pack it on my roots and leave it for a long time it would work better.
I feel a bit sailor-y in this outfit, hence the Boosh quote! The dress was originally quite long and unflattering, so I shortened it into a mini (of course). I like how it looks like a romper but isn't. And the red heels are definitely the highest I own, yikes!
Sparkly scaly bag!
oh, what a cute and lovely outfit - I really like the combination of the dress and the shoes.
ReplyDeleteand the boosh *sigh* ('the future is dead, retro is the new thing, sir').
hello, by the way, I really like your blog.
Gorgeous outfit! Love the hair, I've been considering dyeing mine black.
ReplyDeleteI love the summer tights, but the booties are my favorite part of the whole outfit
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes! They're so pretty, especially with the blue sailor dress.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you're a natural blonde.
You look adorable!! I love the sailor look :D

I love,love,love your red booties! And the sailor dress looks incredible! Great job shortening it!
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable! I've always been afraid to try the sailor inspired look for fear of looking costumeybut you pull it off so well. And I love the shoes, what a brave soul you are ;D!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I liked the blue hair on you as well, not many people can pull that of. I always like a combination of blue, white and red so your dress and your shoes are so cute together.
ReplyDeleteyour boots make me melt a little bit.
ReplyDeleteyou always impress me, hope!
The dress is so cute!

ReplyDeletecheshirestreetcat: Haha hello! :D Oh I love the Boosh so much, I have to restrain myself from referencing them in every blog post.
Rosie Unknown: Thanks! I would def. recommend henna for someone dying it black for the first time. It would probably end up much more dark chocolately brown and not as harsh.
Jayne: Oh I love them even though I suck at walking in them!
Kelley Anne: More of a dark blonde, my roots are always that ashy color. When I shaved my head I fully intended to try to grow it out natural, but ugh it's way too boring!
Aya: Thank you!! ^.^
Leproust Vintage: Thanks! Yeah it was originally super long and weird and had been sitting in my to-hem pile so long that I forgot about it! It was a happy discovery.
Mars: Aw thank you! Oh goodness, I didn't fall in those shoes but I had to take really super small steps, haha. I need to practice.
Marmelindela: Thanks! :) That's probably my favorite color combination.
Diana: Awww Diana! <3 <3 <3 Love!
Claradevi: Haha me too! Everything is always too long or a little too wide. Thank you so much! <3
losile: I had to get them just for that purpose!
yigin: Aww thank you!! :)
Ahhh, yes! I totally got your Mighty Boosh quote before you even mentioned it! I feel special. :)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is heavenly! What a find and you did a great job hemming it.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea either that you're a natural blonde. I totally thought you had naturally black hair! You just look like you should.
OMG I LOVE YOUR RED SHOES!
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is perfection!
ReplyDeletexo
