Skirt: thrifted

Top: Version Originale 

Wrap Shirt: Ikks

Shoes: Banana Republic 

Necklace: Originally a magnet that I bought at Kronsborg Castle (where Hamlet is set) in Denmark. 

I made it into a necklace.

I ended up changing my shoes to an amazing pair of vintage purple wedges (they're a thousand times more comfortable) that I got in a thrift store in Columbia, South Carolina when I was there last March, but didn't take any more photos.

I dyed my hair! I suppose it's been red too long to say I 're-dyed' it pink, but that's what it feels like. 

While it makes wearing anything just a little bit harder, since I have a constant colour to contend with, it's worth it because I adore it. 

Pink Dye: Virgin Rose by Special Effects (diluted. 2 parts dye to 20 parts conditioner)

Turquoise dye: Atomic Turquoise by Manic Panic (undiluted)

The difference in the shade of pink is just because of the unevenness of my home bleach job.

Pants: Thrifted
Shoes: Vintage Doc Martins
Shirt(which is quite sheer, though you can't tell in these): H&M

Tank top worn under shirt: Thrifted
Jacket: H&M

I'm starting to work a lot more, which means I'm spending more and more time in my work cloths, which aren't particularly cute, instead of lovely summer things.

But fear not, I still have some time off to wear nice things.

And one of my goals for the summer/fall is to try more DIY projects, I always see the greatest how-tos and I'll eventually get around to trying some of them.

Dress: Old Navy 

Vest: Banana Republic

Shoes: Thrifted

Went to the farmer's market this morning, very exciting, I know.

I went to the gym for about an hour this morning and then went to work, where they told me they'd double booked us so I could just go home. 

I went back to the gym for a while then came home and cleaned up my room a bit.

My father made me these racks for hanging all my necklaces on finally. I've wanted them for ages but never got around to mentioning it until about 3 days ago, for some reason.

I dyed my hair last week! It's a but lighter but I'm definitely going to bleach it in the next few weeks. 

I'm very much done with being a ginger for now, it's all about the blonde for summer. Really I just want blonde hair so I can add bits of blue and pink and have it be fun again.

Also seriously considering re-cutting my fringe, circa late 2009.

That's really just the hair I'm working towards having again.
