my outfit: blonde? no thanks.

There are probably better things one should do when they are experiencing an emotional (hormonal) roller coaster of a week, are ushering their husband out the door for a 3 day business trip (read: flying solo with the kids for three straight days) and haven't slept in a week due to kids that think sleep is optional, than make drastic changes to ones hair.


I'll be honest, if I don't get proper sleep I can't even decide between a bagel and a bowl of cereal for breakfast without tears. (I know, what am I? Like 5? Yes, maybe.) So waking up to a head of hair I don't recognize proved disastrous. Well, as "disastrous" as hair can be... I may be a bit dramatic at times.

I think I can handle a little change here and there without tears... right. Right!?!? Well, if not that, at least I can see the opportunity here. It was a chance taken, a risk wagered and a step far outside my comfort zone. So what if it didn't go according to plan. I can always say I tried. And really, what's life without a good fall flat now and then? Boring really.


My hairstylist is thankfully squeezing me (back) in this weekend. Bless her heart.

It must be mentioned, there is no offense to blondes, in fact while this hair color is "blonde" to me, many won't agree, it could have been blonde-er I suppose. I will say that I do LIKE the color... I just don't LOVE it. I'm thankful for a hairstylist who will help me do something crazy and then help me back out of it. I'm a gal that knows what she likes and goes after it, I thought about giving the hair a week or even a month. But nah, why waste time.

ps, how do you like the blazer OVER the jean jacket look? I saw this some where on the internet, I have to say I am a fan.
