The "What I Wore Today" Thread!

It lasts fairly well, depending on how far you let it go before you redye.
Immediately after I dye it it's very very dark, so dark it's nearly black. It takes a week or so for it to lighten up to what I consider the perfect shade, and it stays that way for another two or three weeks. If I had a magic wand this is the stage at which I would freeze time and have that color forever.
Then for the next two months or so it slooooowly fades into a sort of fuschia, pinkish-purple. It's actually a lovely color but I hate pink, so that's about my limit when I redye it. It usually times up with my roots needing to be done anyway, so it all works out.

bingeandpurge, i love your the colour of your hair!

I dressed a bit different today. I am getting sick of wearing jeans and band t-shirts all the time... so this is what i came up with this for a little shopping trip today (big chunky scarf, military jaket, black shirt, black tulip skirt and my new dark brown- almost black boots)....
sorry it isnt great quality and oh yeah... apologies also the wierd foot stance i have going on there too... maybe one day i will keep still


I really need some inspiration with clothes at the moment.... I am not enjoying most the stuff
I am wearing because its just too predictable... but then i want something that suits me well aswell, like figure wise.

Your hair looks so great in that photo

That hair is truly amazing, biowaste


I'm definitely going to have a go with that purple - just a shame I have to wait at least another 3 months-ish.. being pregnant + dyeing hair = baaaaaaaaad! ..apparently.

OT - but i know poeple who have dyed their hair while pregnant - me included. apparently your hair can "change" while pregant & dye either takes too well, or not at all. same with perms n stuff. that's all

Yeah.. I was advised by my stylist not to dye while pregnant because of that - I feel ill if I breathe in any strong fumes atm anyway, so I don't think I'll risk it.
Plus, I'm currently making myself a set of brown-based dreads for winter, so I'll have to wait until spring/summer for the colour change

[MrsEss]

best not to risk it - i remebered this morning a girl i used to work with dyed hers blonde - but it didn't come out blonde it was a weird purple, grey blue colour - she had to go to the hairdressers & get it sorted out.

[PlasticMuffin]

This is what i wore today. I celebrated New years eva at home with my parent, so i didn't really dress up that mutch.
( heh, you can see that parts of my shower have turned red... )



Sweater, H&M
Skirt, Monki (swedish brand, love their clothes! Dont know if they have stores anywhere else than in Sweden though.)

[ANNloses]

You look great! What do you use to dye your hair?

[PlasticMuffin]

Thank you! I use Special Effects and mix their Cherry Bomb and Blood Red. This time i used mostly Cherry bomb with a squeeze of Blood Red to deepen the colour. I really love Special Effect, don't think that i will use anything else again ^^

[ANNloses]

Awesome! That also explains your shower. I only get stained surfaces from SFX.

[bingeandpurge]

I use SFX too (Deep Purple!) and the only thing that stains in my bathroom is the plastic hose to the detachable shower head! It also stains the soapscum very easily but a few sprays of tile cleaner clears it away.

[tazzyface]

My bath and curtains have turned blue because I use SFX Blue Mayhem

[Amoura]

ahahaha ive turned my fridge handle atomic pink. >.<

and ps. the red with the greenish color looks amazing!

I love it, I love your outfits and hair, you are quite memorable my dear!

Oh, and the bag is super cute, do you make them to sell or anything? I'd think something like that would go over well on Etsy.

i came up with the design for the bag after loosely basing it off a backpack i had made years ago. so the dimensions are pretty similar but not quite. i drew the lace pattern out in photoshop to use as reference while i was knitting it up.

i'm still debating whether or not to try selling them. right now it's kind of a pain for me to make since i spend so many hours constructing and putting them together. the lining of the bag is also an original design i had printed on fabric. so i know the price would be substantially higher due to materials and time spent and i don't think people would generally want to buy something expensive :/

Damn you're pretty!

I love the eyeshadow. Makes me wonder why I never wore green when I had red hair!
