Today I feel almost human, and while I didn't originally have any particularly grand plans for my hair, once I saw this little thingy on the New York Times website I thought yes, that is just the thing! I slapped on some eyeliner to distract from the fact I'm wearing pants that are really glorified leggings (they're more like riding pants but I'm trying not to kid myself that I'm not pissing someone off while wearing them in public).

I went outside for about 2 hours and got all windswept and bedraggled, so this is what's left of the hair-do. It's held up nicely, although you can see my accursed bangs refuse to have any part in being team players and try to separate from the rest. I clamped them down with a headband.
I suspect this is one of those hair-dos that looks really spectacular on blonde hair, or at least photographs better, but I might be doing this sort of thing when I have a serious case of third-day hair and need to throw it up for work in the morning.
Minnow heard the camera and ventured out from her laundry-bed, so of course I scooped her up.


But she isn't really a fan of being picked up, and the noise of the shutter is something horrible to her, so she staged a protest.

The upside is that the pictures with her show off the hair best, so now I can chronicle that along with even more evidence that I hang out with this cat more than people.
Hanging out with cats does count as social interaction though. Minnow is so precious. Loved the hair!
ReplyDeleteDammit, this post makes me regret chopping my collarbone length hair into a jaw length bob last week!
ReplyDeleteI love this hairstyle on you! Cats > humans.
ReplyDeleteLove your hair like this! So pretty and simple.
ReplyDeleteminnow is the cutest. and your hair looks very lovely. even if the bangs are rebelling against the rest.
ReplyDeleteprettiest girl.
Aww I love this and it documents a real struggle we all go through trying to get pics of ourselves and our cats :) :)
ReplyDeleteThis hair is beautiful! So whimsical.

Not sure if I love the hair or the cat more. x
ReplyDeleteKITTY!!
ReplyDeleteI love the hair, it looks so wonderful on you! It makes me so excited to have longer hair so I can do things like this. PERSONALLY I went without washing my hair today, which is a BIGGER DEAL than it seems. Usually I have to wash/dry it every day to make it all non-denty and normal-ish. But I think I've passed the must-wash-everyday point! Ahhh!
i love the simple headband, where did you get it? x
ReplyDeleteI'm awful with hair, but I adore this look...I think I might have to dedicate some time this weekend to serious hair experimentation! (Or perhaps not-so-serious...much more likely.)

Your hair is so lovely! And the pink headband touch somehow reminds me of Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl :)
ReplyDeleteShutter-fearer or not, Minnow is so sweet and adorable. I love the hairdo, I'm collecting ideas for an afternoon of hanging out with some bobby pins and hairties, but this one I think would be perfect for everyday times (especially as an alternative to the topknot). As for tights as pants, they're so comfy! I certainly wouldn't judge anyone for wearing them out and about.
ReplyDeletelove these pictures- that headband adds the perfect pop of color!

I really love this hairdo, and Minnow is a sweetheart! But can I just say that I also really love your writing? You have such a quirky, funny writing style and I think that's what makes your blog so much more interesting than tons of the others. Have been wanting to say this for ages!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks dreamy! I may try my hand at this :D my hair is so uncooperative in the morning time O_O.
ReplyDeleteHaha i always try and disguise my legging/pants by wearing a long cardi >_< im sad to say i dont think it works :( I did see a girl once wearing a t shirt and tights as leggings! Tights! It made me uncomfortable to watch her walk up the stairs O_o
Minnow is adorable <3xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wow! That is definitely a great hairstyle. Very pretty. btw, your cat is so adorable and a photogenic one too. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
