Feeling Lacey

H&M dress and black skirt underneath (dress is unlined at bottom, so wore another skirt which also added fullness). Rampage top. Bebe belt. Free People fingerless gloves. Jeffrey Campbell Doo shoes

So I just learned that lacey means cheerful in Greek.  Well, on the cusp of 3.5 days of freedom (today’s a half work-day) in celebration of our country’s freedom, I am in a great mood!

Thanks so much for your kind comments, esp. the ones about my hair!  To answer some questions, yes, I get my hair dyed professionally and tell my hairdresser to dye it a rich chocolate brown.  Through the years, I’ve put my naturally black hair through the ringer:

Perms from 4th – 8th grade –> Highlights from 8th grade – freshman year of high school –> Dyed hair back to natural black sophomore year of high school –> Started up highlights again junior year of high school – junior year of college –> Dyed hair back to natural black color senior year of college –> Started highlighting hair yet again, including a stint with blondish highlights after college – circa 2006 –> Dyed hair back to natural black 2006 – 2007 –> Eased back into coloring hair all one brown color (done with highlights) 2007 – PRESENT.  I know, it’s amazing I still have hair!

Hope you all have a fun long weekend and enjoy the Independence Day sales!
