I feel like the word BRAVE gets kind of obnoxiously tossed around a bit too much these days. Tried a new fruit? Congrats! You’re so brave! You wore leggings as pants? Super brave! I actually sometimes want to pull out my best Inigo Montoya and scream from the rooftops, “You keep using that word! I do not think it means what you think it means!” Wait…it’s brave to scream from rooftops, right?

“Dark please.” I said.

“Dark? That’s a brave move!” said the random stranger.

BRAVE?

Really?

dark-hair

I mean, It’s basically just like climbing Everest.

Right?

  12. The bravery of leggings aside, I happen to think you look really beautiful. Not only this color, which is warm and perfect for your eyes which now look huge, but I’m insanely jealous of how flawlessly you are doing a bang grow out, and your layers are amazing.

    Maybe that stranger has no Everest moments, big or small, and is jealous of the confidence and fun you have with fashion and beauty. Poor them. Love the color!

  14. Love the new hair! I try and go dark for fall- from blonde to caramel blonde. Wish I had the guts to go dark brown. 🙂

    Hope this isn’t beyond weird, but I saw this dress in the Nordstrom holiday mailer and immediately thought of you:

  15. First of all, that hair…va va va voom. Totally suits you!

    I completely agree with you in that brave is tossed around far too much. When I hear someone say brave, I think of soldiers, police officers, cancer patients…Hair? It’s a change. Daring? Absolutely. Risky? Sure. But to make that leap…brave? I’m not sure about that.
