Funky, Punky Chic
Yesterday, i went to my stylist to get a desperate color correction on my newly highlighted hair. My hair is normally a deep violet, but very natural looking. it's the only funky color I can get away with in my day job.
We had a long discussion about how we feel too old to do punky colors. Of course, she was telling me this while sporting cotton candy pink hair. And it looks fabulous on her. In our circle of friends, we wouldn't bat an eyelash at such a daring, unnatural color. But something has happened to us subculture girls. We got corporate. At least I did. My stylist just feels that having arm loads of tattoos AND pink hair is a bit cliche. So she's going back to her platinum blond.
But when i see this girl on the Sartorialist, looking so so chic in her patent leather tote and 80s style power blazer, she makes me smile and think, I want bright blue hair now! She looks like she works somewhere stuffy right???

i must say, i saw that photo on the sartorialist too and she looked pretty hot. i don't think anyone's too old to do funky colors!! i saw this super cool granny in bright blue hair too and she was really rocking the look. i've had many different colors of hair too, though now i'm happy being ashy. i hope you got a great new color! :)

Hi gilda!
I did get a new color, although I'm not thrilled with it. It's a violet base with chunky red highlights. I think I am over highlights. I'm even considering a short bob.
