Gone Thiftin'

I went thrifting today and documented the whole trip (including try-ons) on Snapchat. It was like thrifting with a virtual friend! (And Beefy said I finally did Snapchat right.) The snaps don’t hang around long, but, never fear, I plan to recap the experience and wear my new finds in a Let’s Go Thrifting post next week. I’m whatiwore2day if you’d like to be Snapchat friends. (As of this publication date/time, a few snaps from my birthday photo shoot are still up.)

I received many compliments on my booties and hair at the Goodwill. I dyed it blue this morning with a temporary color. Now that I now longer work for Wella, I can tell you that I do not follow the directions and leave the Color Touch iNSTAMAT!C in Ocean Storm on for a full hour, instead of the directed 20 minutes. It really sticks to the bleached ends and my natural whites. It will quickly fade to a soft silver, even without using shampoo. Just rinsing and conditioning fade the color noticeably, so it’s a great option for someone who’d like to have blue or pink hair for just a long weekend or vacation.

Tenth Blogoversary

It’s my tenth blogoversary and I’m not quitting this outfit diary. Are you curious about what’s new in Year Eleven of WhatIWore2Day?


Shirt, Moda International. Skirt, Talbot’s. Shoes, Enzo Angiolini.

First of all, I’ve given up on replacing the green cardigan that I wore with this blouse and skirt in my very first outfit post (and the first four blogoversaries). After the sweater was ruined by dye transfer from a dark purple shirt, I attempted to replace it with three different green jackets and a denim vest for my later blogoversaries. This year, I just wore a nude camisole underneath and went topper-less. This is California, after all. We still see 80 degrees and higher in October.


Second, I’m embracing my natural hair color. It used to be dishwater blonde, but now it’s coming in silvery and I like it.


Last, I am trying Snapchat as a platform to show you behind the scenes, outfit details, and outfits in motion. My user name is whatiwore2day. (I’ll be honest, I’m still trying to figure it out, but Beefy is younger than I, so hopefully he’ll help.)


Here’s to another great year!

Make 'Do

I’m doing my best to embrace my natural, gray hair. The long bits are pink, but the undercut and regrowth are all salt and pepper.


Jacket, J Crew (consignment). Dress, Jovovich Hawk for Target. Leggings, Amour. Boots, Vince Camuto (consignment). Earrings, Claire’s. Bag, Clark’s.


At home, the dogs couldn’t care less what color my hair is. They also don’t care that I didn’t buy dog food and they have to eat samples for dinner. (They thought it was treats!)

Cartoon

Pink hair! It totally doesn’t go with today’s outfit (I wasn’t thinking about my pending transformation when I dressed this morning), but I’m just pretending that I’m a cartoon version of myself.


Dress, Donna Morgan. Sneakers, Van’s. Sunglasses, Meow Meow. Bag, vintage.


I'm checking this one off the 40 B4 40 list!

Pixie

It isn’t pink, but it’s pixied. I love having short hair! I feel both tomboy-ish and elegant.


Vest, Forever 21 (cut from a consignment jacket). Dress, Donna Morgan (consignment). Shoes, BCBG Paris. Sunglasses, Meow Meow. Necklace, Banana Republic (gift). Bracelets, Serket Jewelry, gift, and thrifted. Bag, Anne Klein (thrifted).



365 catchup (4 days worth):


I was at the train station to pick up an educator on Saturday night for our Sassoon class on Sunday. On Monday, I took my doggies hiking in the snow. Tuesday, I finally took a picture of my new cut (without sunglasses).
