OOTD: A week's worth...

Ladies (and men), my name is Nikol and I am a dye-aholic.


All together:Hi Nikol.

I was clean and sober for almost a year until my lovely, sweet, accepting husband coaxed me... well tempted me to go to the dark side. The dark hair side that is! We actually met when I was in a dark hair phase and he really loved it. One summer though, I went a little batty and decided that I should dye my hair bleached blonde, then red, then brown, then red, then blonde... all in a summer! The root of the hair color issue is simple: 1) I am an artist and 2)that crazy hair summer was caused by an physical/emotional loss that I had gone through, mixed in with a lack of drive to create plus I am a Gemini so change is a need for my survival. As an artist, I do not do very well when I have zero mediums to create with or zero drive to produce said mediums. Thus, all of these issues= hair art projects and a little self destruction.

Lucky for me, I married someone who is ok with this quirk and keeps an art room stocked full of mediums to cater to my hearts desire. He also is my soul's fire and encourages me to really soar!

Anywho, to get on with my story. I am not sure if some of you noticed, but I had blonde hair for time time, brown hair for a minute and now it's red. Endofstory, I just love me some anecdotes.

    I love your first outfit, the colour of the dress really suits you :). I am a gemini too so I understand the need for the need to change your hair colour regularly. xo
