All natural.

I have been toying with the idea of going back to my natural hair color. That is blonde, blonde, blonde! Thanks to my Norwegian genes (I am half Norwegian btw) my hair is very fine, there's a lot of it, and it's very blonde. As you know by following this blog, I get very bored with my hair and dye it quite frequently. I've done it all - long, short, brown, blonde, red, bangs, no bangs... and now I am getting bored again with the brown.

The only thing that makes me nervous about the blonde is that I always feel like it washes me out. I feel like I have to be really tan in order to pull off my natural blonde haircolor, which is why, even when I go back to blonde, I tend to do a strawberry-blonde or dirty blonde.


That being said, I haven't been blonde since September 2008. And I think it's time. Since I have the bangs now too, I am thinking something along these lines would still work for me.

Anyone have any suggestions? :)

St. Patty's Day!

Shirt, Forever 21

Cardigan, BP by Nordstrom
Jeans, Paige Denim
Shoes, Hot Kiss
Necklace, Wet Seal

Bag, Coach

This was my "night out" outfit. I wore basically this to work. The only differences were I wore this 3/4 sleeve cardigan buttoned up over the dress with a belt and the Hot Kiss shoes.

I had to close, and the boys were all at home waiting for me so we could head out. I realized after I had already changed that I forgot to get a picture of my work clothes!

The hubs looked good as well! His belt buckle was his bit of green for the night. He also thought the Red Sox hat was Irish enough. ;)

For the record, he wore:

Shirt, Nordstrom
Hat, Boston Red Sox

Jeans, Seven For All Mankind

Shoes, Nike

Shirt and skirt, brand unknown, but I bought them both at Ross
Cardigan, BP by Nordstrom
Tights, Hue
Shoes, Rampage







Pretty basic and easy outfit. This shirt makes the boobies look weird, so I can only wear it tucked into something high waist anymore.

Cami, BP by Nordstrom
Sweater, Charlotte Russe
Pants, Merona
Trouser socks, DKNY
Shoes, Hot Kiss
Earrings and gold bangles, Forever 21





I am wearing the heck out of these shoes. I need another pair of plain black shoes. Possible some more comfortable heels than these.


My boss told me I looked like a flying squirrel today. I don't know how I feel about that. That being said, I don't know if I'll wear this sweater again... ;)

Dress, Frills
Leggings, DKNY Smoothies
Cardigan, Mossimo
Shoes, Hot Kiss
Necklace, made by me (it's an owl!)




I got sick of my hair the other day, especially my bangs. So I cut them. What do you think? I also need to dye my hair again, my blonde roots are showing!

These are a new legging we have at work. I am IN LOVE with them. They are a microfiber capri body smoother (thus the name, Smoothies!) My only issue with them is that I feel they run small. I bought a medium and now I am thinking a large would have been better. I know these are a capri length, but they kept creeping up to right under my knee. If I pulled them back down, it would sag in the crotchular region (like that word?). Overall, I love em.

Shopping updates!

There are quite a few things on my shopping/wish list lately. With Spring right around the corner (it's in the 50s today in Columbus! WOOHOO!), my wardrobe is really lacking some warmer, casual things. I have tons of work clothes, yet I still lack some key pieces.

Here are some things that I have bought in the last week:

Tights, Nordstrom, $8.90
Shoes, Hot Kiss, $24.99

Flower ring, Forever21, $4.80

Hoop earrings, Forever 21, $2.80
- I haven't figured out how to wear these yet. They are slightly larger in my ears than they looked on the rack. I dreamed of wearing them with my coral dress, but I might have to save that for spring/summer months. -

Here are some things on my wishlist. I do have some pretty specific things that I need, but things that I want are more general. :)

Tanks

Casual tee's

Shorts

Dresses/skirts - For work and for casual wear

Plaid tunic

Shoes
- Brown flats/wedges
- Yellow pumps
- Silver peep toes (to replace the BCBG pair)
- Booties (to replace the Bongo pair)
- Boots (to replace the Steve Madden pair)
- White flats
Accessories
- Brown belt
- White belt
- Rings
- Headbands/hair accessories


The list goes on and on. I keep adding things. There are tons of things I am looking at for the house and for the dogs also.

March 5th & 6th, 2010

I am starting to work more now, so hopefully you will be seeing more of me and my outfits. :)

Shirt, from Sears, forget the brand
Dress (as skirt), Forever 21
Belt, Forever 21
Tights, Nordstrom
Shoes, Hot Kiss


Here is an up close shot of the tights and the shoes. I desperately needed some new black flats - the ones from Wal-Mart were just not cutting it lately. I picked these up at Famous Footwear for about $30 after tax. They are nice, I just need to break them in (they rub on the ankles).

Overall, I REALLY liked this outfit! I have seen some gals post using a dress as a skirt, and I couldn't figure out how I could pull something like that off.

I forgot to catch a photo of my work outfit for the 6th, but I basically have worn this before here (the first outfit). Only, this time, I wore nude fishnets (Hue), and my new black shoes that I wore on the 5th.
