New Coloring

Skirt: Express, Shirt: Thrifted, Necklace: Just Creations (Fair Trade)

Changing my hair color has really changed my ‘coloring’. Where as previously I was a ‘warm toned skin with cool accents’ (flat brown hair & blue eyes), now I am discovering that all those maroon scarves & red tops I used to look good, now kinda clash with the red hair. I’m floundering a bit, I LOVE to wear color. (In case you are new around here.)

I think the mustardy yellow still looks good with the red hair.

I wore this to volunteer at the non-profit fair trade store in town. I always try to wear a scarf or jewelry item from there when I volunteer. Since I’ve been doing it nearly twice a month for almost three years there are plenty of fair trade items in my collection.

As I was walking home a man yelled out his car ‘You are rocking that look!’, which I consider to be a mostly acceptable thing to yell from your car. I can’t tell if it is people in Louisville, people in my neighborhood, or just me that prompt more street comments but now that it is getting warm outside I seem  to be the recipient of a lot more.

    I’m the worst with knowing what colors look good, I can only tell by actually putting the thing on. But I totally agree with random driver, you are rocking this look!

    I absolutely ADORE your new hair color Loren! I also think that you can still pull off maroon with this color. I’ve seen it done! Also, I love the mustard and teal layering as well as your adorable chevron tights!

    Punchy color, hair or clothing, will always look good on you.

    I think that’s a totally acceptable thing to have yelled at you :) Love the hair color, but I know what you mean, I tried red and had to change up my go to colors as well. You’ll get the hang of it! Loving your sneakers :)

    This hair colour was made for you- yowza you look phenomenal! I really like red with yellow, it makes a statement and I agree you are rocking that look! I love when comments aren’t creepy from men, a young guy told me in the elevator the other day that he loved the colour combinations in my outfit (much better than a cat call in my books!)

    You do look great in yellow, and if something has to be yelled to you from a car, that is definitely one of the better things to hear.
