So. Methinks I look like I just crawled out of a dumpster, grabbed my tripod and camera, and had a mini photoshoot. But you know what? I have an excuse for looking like I just crawled out of a dumpster. This tweet explains everything. It also explains why I might gain 20lbs this month from emotional eating or why I might swear off technology forever and move to a remote cabin in the woods where I have to wash my clothes in a stream and grow my own food. But I might blog about all that later, so I'll shut up for now and talk some more about how rough I look.
I think it's the hair. It's mostly the color, but I could really use a trim as well. Oh, and if you're wondering, there's a reason why I haven't dyed it in like, the past century. I'm going to Florida in May where I do not plan to ever leave the sun's sight (disclaimer: Two Eyes in the Mirror endorses the use of sunscreen). So if I dye my hair now, it's just going to fade the fuck out anyway. I'm not going to spend money on a dye job to have it all fade out in a couple of weeks. So let's take a deep breath and deal with this together. In, and out. And in, and out. Good job. One more time. In, and out.
P.S. I wrote a series of posts for Fashion's a Stranger about cultural beauty standards in Korea...it's a five post series and two have already been posted, so be sure to head on over there and do some reading!

Steffys Pros and Cons
The feather bow is completely adorable, as are you. Not dumpster at all. That's truly tragic about the sale though. ; (
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed the sale! I saw that tweet and my heart went out to you... ahh! Frustrating! Stupid spam filter. Let it be a warning to all of us! haha.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks really great, though and I love the feathery bow!
i like the bow detail on your head
ReplyDeleteyour gorgeous! i love the flowy skirt mixed with converse
ReplyDeleteI love the look! Sorry for your spam! Kisses sweety :)
ReplyDeleteTotally love this look. Totally not a dumpster look and I think the shirt adds a great touch. Loving your hair accessory too.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when technology ruins your life. I hear you on disconnecting (even if I do have a job in the digital field).
I think you look darling. Especially the pic of you sitting on that bench. You look like you're trying to lure Mr. TEITM over to sit with you. Or whatever else. WINK. Like I needed to wink.
ReplyDeleteFlorida in May. It's gonna be hot and gorgeous. Excited for you!
xo,
Tracy
Hey, you don't look like you've just crawled out of a dumpster! I love this style on you and I'm a bit sad because I'd never be able to wear this without looking like crap - I just can't combine styles :/ And btw since I know you're taking the pics of you yourself, I admire them even more (although..now thinking of it..it's hardly possible :D). xx
ReplyDeleteHello! Just got back from being away and am catching up on your blogging! I have MELTED at the sight of this jaunty bow, gorgeous!
ReplyDeletexxx
PS - looking forward to Florida-bloggage, how cool!
ReplyDeleteYou do NOT look like you came out of a dumpster! I love how you paired your maxi with sneakers. And that bow in your hair is so cute! Sorry about the outnet sale : ( Damn spam!
ReplyDeletei dont think you look like you crawled out of a dumpster at all! Bummer about your spam mail error
ReplyDeletehaha, I agree with Marie a la Mode! You so did not just come out of the dumpster, no banana peel dresses as well as you do. I like the converse paired with the skirt :) yikes that stinks about the outnet sale...stupid spam folder! I'll definitely go check out your articles on korean beauty standards. http://thearcenciel.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteDumpster or not you still look very good. Love the hair piece.
ReplyDeleteNone of us see ourselves the way we really are. People as young and cute as you can't look bad even if you try. In a burlap sack, you'd still look cute. I agree with Tracy about the picture on the bench: phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to root around in the dumpster you were shopping in! ;) I love the feather headband and I actually really like your hair. Mine has washed out too but I am loving the no roots! You look fab- no surprise there!
ReplyDeleteFunny because I was just thinking how amazing your hair looked in these photos!
ReplyDeleteOH NO! You missed out on the $2 sale... I will cry for you.
ReplyDeleteI also saw a picnic basket at the thrift store yesterday and thought about buying it for you.
Chic on the Cheap
I love the hairpiece...my daughter is totally into feathers right now....I happen to love the look:)
ReplyDeleteif your outfit is from the dumpster, I want to use that dumpster too! no, really. it's very lovely. everything. and your hair are just fine, trust your readers.
ReplyDeleteOh shush, you look lovely!! I'm jealous of your ability to wear plaid shirts (I end up looking like a stumpy logger, hrmph). Also, I'm doing the same thing with my hair... during the summer, it turns reddish, so I want to dye it blonde, but i know the minute I do, the heat will set in and my hair will go this weird copper color that's awwwwful.

If you came out of a dumpster, it must have been one fabulous dumpster! Regarding your sweater comment, the sweater is from WalMart. Yeah, I know. Weird, right?! :)
ReplyDeletelove this look, that headband rocks!
