Banana Republic x Issa

gifted Banana Republic x Issa Dress // Saint Laurent Tribute Sandals // 3.1 Pashli Mini

When the going gets tough, the tough (or maybe just the crazy) change their hair.  I’ve been going through some tough shit, which I’ll get to when I feel ready to talk about it, but it made me feel the need to do something drastic.  My idea of drastic is a little more subtle than the average person’s, but this for me, is a BIG change.  I’ve gone blonde, blonder, and brunette… but never red.  It is now red, and it is short!  I’m still not entirely sure how much I like it but it washes out so it was a safe change.

But anyway, this dress is like the dress equivalent of sweatpants.  So incredibly comfortable… like swathing your body in a cozy cloud of goodness.  Pair it with a killer pair of heels and a stack of bangles and you’re ready to go.

    The red hair looks great! Good thought going for a wash out dye though. You never know if the color change will be a disaster until after you’ve seen the effect. Now you know that if you do go red, you will rock it.

    I hope you are hanging in there. I, too, have been going through some tough stuff for the past month or so, so I know exactly what you mean. Just remember that it gets better and that good hair is the best revenge! XO

      kim, i hope someone teaches you the true meaning of the phrase “if you don’t have anything nice to say, it’s best to say nothing at all.” this is a fantastic blog with a happy, friendly comment section and i suggest you look elsewhere for someone to pick on.

      grace – love the hair and love the dress! have a fab weekend 🙂 xoxo
