Iira goes blonde, part 1.

So, remember that list of changes I wanted to make?

One down. I went to the hairdresser's on Tuesday. It's not really something worth mentioning, unless you're me. I can rarely afford to go have my hair done by a professional. My hair is long and thick, and it costs a whole lot to have it cut and colored. But every once in a while I go :) This time I wanted to try the oh-so-popular ombre-style. I've actually tried it before; a year ago I had my hair done in Portland. My hair was dyed very dark but the tips were blonde. It turned out really pretty, and it was done by a student, so it was cheaper. Now I wanted it a little different, so we started the process.

The colors in this picture aren't exactly right, but pretty close. This time around my hair didn't get as light as I would have preferred, but I'm not surprised. I've been coloring it dark for over a year now, so going back to blonde is going to be a long process, and I don't want to ruin my hair as I go. I'm still very happy with the result. I will be going to Florida in a few months and hope the sun will lighten my hair some more ;) might just save me another trip to the hairdressers. 

What comes to the other parts of that list, I'm hoping to get some shopping done next week. I'd love to get a new scarf and maybe a cute fall knit. Although I did get one recently; I will have to do a post about my fall clothes! It's still too warm to be wearing knits and scarfs (the weather's drunk and should go home) and I can't wait to wear in my new clothes! <3

Have a great weekend, y'all!
