What I Wore: Experimental Colours

 

Leggings, La Classe Couture; dress, Joe Fresh; shoes, Fly London; Scarf, thrifted. 

I wore this outfit last Friday, once I have built up some confidence. I wasn't too sure about the colours when I wore the outfit, the shoes seemed like one shade of red too many, but looking at the photos, I think it turned out quite  well. 

The head scarf may get a bit repetitive, since I've worn it quite a bit recently. Several days a week I have to leave the house at an ridiculously early hour, and I don't have the time or energy to actually do anything with my hair.

What do you do with your hair when it's a mess and you have no time?

Love,

Half Up, Half Down

I had a bit of extra time this morning, so I decided to try something new with my hair. It's sort like the half up half down style:

But I wore one side up and one side down! It actually looked pretty good in real life, rather dramatic. By the time I got around to taking pictures though I was exhausted, in my pyjamas, and considering time stopping as my only way to ever get some rest.

Thoughts? Requests?

Multi-Coloured Black Hair

After my henna-indigo dye experiment, my mummy surprised me with some semi-permanent, sort of natural, black hair dye. A family friend came over to help me put it in, and by friday my hair was black.

I absolutely adore it! This may sound sort of strange, but I sort of feel that I was meant to have black hair. I love my natural colour, but I think that if hair colour were based on personality, I would have glittering black hair with strands of all sorts of colours mixed in. At a glance it would be black, but when you really looked, it would be made up of every colour in the rainbow.

What colour would your hair be if it were based on personality? Do you like your natural colour?

Love, Rosie

PS: If you read my other blog, Exposure Extraordinaire, you probably already saw this photo, but I haven't taken more yet.

New Hair!

Some of you asked for pictures of my new hair. Well, here is my hair:

If you wanted pictures where you could see it in relation to my face, you are out of luck for the moment because I seem to be developing a cold and I don't want anyone thinking I am a clown. Strangely, I am wearing what I refer to as my clown pants today, but that's fairly irrelevant.

Thoughts? Requests?

Love, Rosie

Opps: Accidents with Dye

I had a really great post planned for today. I was going to unveil my new hair. If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed some tweets about buying supplies and panicked tweets about coverage. I had decided that today was the day, I was going to dye my hair black. Armed with plastic gloves, a shower cap and a package of henna-indigo hair dye from my local health food store, I set about the process.

This is where our valiant hero (me) encounters an obstacle. You see, applying green goop that smells like freshly cut hay and has the consistency of a cream soup to one's own head is difficult. Trying to do so without coating the house in the fore mentioned goop leads to holding ones hair upside down over the bath tub.

Which is how the hair directly next to my face and the very bottom layer on the back of my head came to be several shades darker, with a slight green tint, while the top back of my head is still light brownish.

According to my mother, who came home after all this, it isn't terrible, and I have to agree. My father didn't even notice until my sister informed him that "Rosie had dyed her hair a ghastly colour." She can be excused because she's little though, and he was wearing fogged up glasses.

Sorry about the text heavy, some what dreary post, I was going to post pictures, but the flash makes my hair look bright blue and it's too dark to use natural/normal indoor light.

Love, Rosie
