New Hair Colour....

I decided to have my hair colour changed yesterday, what do you think? Be honest. It doesn't look too red on the picture but it looks really fiery red to me!




Anyway it's too late now, it's done. MWM likes it, if I don't get used to it I can always have some more blonde highlights put in until it grows out can't I?

I also did a bit of shopping and bought these...



An absolute bargain from T.K. Maxx. The skirt was £10.00 with a RRP of £69.00, and the top was £5.00 with a RRP of £39.99. The skirt is lovely and floaty and the top is linen - it says dry clean for the top but I never take any notice of the washing instructions so I'll just put it on a delicate wash - if it disintegrates it doesn't really matter for 5 quid does it?

Luckily I have shoes and a bag which match so no need for a trip to the shoe shop - the credit card has just breathed a sigh of relief!

    It looks great in the photograph! Lovely colour. What great bargains you've picked up...must admit I always gently wash "dry clean only" clothes.

    Your hair looks great, match it with that outfit & all you need is a venue for a night out!

    I never take notice of dry clean only either!

    I do not know the first thing about colours or hair but I like what I see.

    I intend wearing the outfit tonight - I never have been able to save new clothes I have to wear them right away shaz. Glad I'm not on my own with ignoring the 'dry clean only' labels!

    Thank you cream - a man's opinion is very important.

    Your office is right near a TK Maxx? It's lucky I don't work for you I'd never be in the office!!! :)

    I hate going into Tk Maxx...it takes forever to get through it all! (But then I am the world's worst shopper.)

    Hope you have a great night!

    Thanks miss u, I'm getting a bit more used to it now. It seems to look redder to me than anyone else!

    I love TK Maxx, but then I've always loved 'rooting'! :)

    I think the new haircolor is lovely but then again, as a redhead of course I'm going to say that! I don't think it's fiery red at all, I really like it!!

    Great buy on the new clothes, too. Don't you just love a good sale?!?

    Thank you so much for putting Amanda's store link on your page - that was so sweet of you!

    I think your hair looks great. I always go more red in the fall and more blond-ey in the summer. Hair is like paint - so much fun and if you don't like it you change it.

    Personally I LIKE red hair, my hair was auburn most of my life until I got married again at 40 and it went gray in two years. I blame my husband, haha..

    I think it is pretty....and it looks very natural to me. I don't dye mine, and it makes me look 10 years older to have gray, but I just don't have the energy for fussing with my looks. So I just take my Senior discount, and smile...haha

    Evening Akelamalu~

    LOVE THE COLOR!!!!

    For 12 years I was a stylist and "hair color" was my specialty. I can't tell you how many women I BEGGED to allow me to make them a "redhead."

    Besides, brunette...RED is my favorite color. However not everyone can carry it off (like you).

    I give it "two thumbs up."

    And I also love your eye glasses. I'm such an "eyeglass person." I think their SEXY!

    The outfits are beautiful...I bet they go GREAT with your new hair color.

    Does'nt CHANGE make you feel so GOOD????

    Take care my friend...and have a wonderful Sunday!

    Be well,
    Ron

    I keep trying to grow my hair long T*mmy but then I get sick of it and have it cut off. It's much easier to manage short. :)

    I've always wanted red hair Linda, just never had the courage to go for it until now. At my age it's "do it now before it's too late" type of thing. I hope Amanda does well with her venture. :)

    You were a colourist Ron? Well I'll take your word for it that my hair looks good as you know what you're talking about. As for my 'specs', I only wear them for reading and taking photos but I quite like them too. :)
