...The New Blonde

Red is the new blonde, right?

I decided I'd spare you all a 'before' pic- because, really, isn't the whole reason for the 'after' because I didn't like the 'before'? No point in publicizing it then!

And I'm afraid that all the build up and excitement to finally post a picture has died down, but it's still not a let down for me. I'm loving the new look. And so are my kids (yay for approval!). And a little boy at the restaurant last night that wanted to pet my red hair.


If only the sun would come out at the same time my camera worked, maybe I would be able to share the true loveliness of this hue. Well, during this whole fiasco of trying to get a pic, Gray broke my glasses. And I am out of contacts. This is not good. My vision is like 200/400. So, maybe I'll get a nice pic of me and my new glasses tomorrow!

I love that my stylist cut off quite a bit, but it feels longer. And I love appreciating a new look and letting it lift me up from the inside, too.

SO CUTE! I love it.

Oh, and by the way, I just found out I'm expecting baby #3. Since no one here knows me, I figure it's safe telling you. :) And, since you're the only other person I "know" that's pregnant right now, I'm thinking of you as I'm nauseated, aren't I sweet?

Oh so pretty! That deep red color suits you well!

It must be "new hair week" or something...check out my new look that I got yesterday.

Isn't it amazing how a great cut can transform you from the inside out? \

Daisy said...

I haven't had a haircolor in several years. I think I'm due. This red looks great!

annie said...

i love the color! you look supercute. :)

i have a question and i mean absolutely no offense by it. i'm really curious....i had always heard that using hair dye while pregnant was bad for the baby. even going into salons and being exposed to all the chemicals posed risks. obviously, since you did this and you are, like, one of the most aware and knowledgable moms i "know", this isn't quite true. i wondered if you knew anything about that?

i'd love to dye my hair something fun, but i'm scared silly of being so bold. ridiculous, i know. :)

It's a Beautiful Ride said...

Work it girl! Love it!

Scribbit said...

LOVE it! Looks terrific--and I bet the change is so fun. I've always loved red. Grace has strawberryblonde hair and I love it, wish I could get that color.
