I think that the blue and purple tints now (and lots of pink too) are much more of a punk vibe. I love that your mom had gone purple! <br /><br />thank you!

I do need to figure out something to do with it - I'm going to get creative and see if I can use it in some way. <br /><br />Ha ha! Here's to home colouring! <br /><br />thank you, my dear!

Curiously, my mom is now dying her grey hair in a purple shade, but she looks more a punk than a tatcherist lady.<br />You rock this blue shade and delightfully matchy ensemble.

I was admiring it immensely in the first photos. What a stinking bummer! Can it be glued back together and then maybe put a little tutu on it around the cracked part?! You could change her tutus to match your outfits!

She definitely speaks to the sense of liberation that comes from turning a certain age, different for each of us (mine was 60 ;-)) I can picture you with a purple-banded red hat!

I'm far too timid to try a temporary tinting on my hair (afraid it will permanently color it and require another grow out) but I do use a purple shampoo to address brassiness. And your outfit is fabulous. I adore the mix of the floral skirt and the striped shirt. The blue, not denim, jacket really pulls together the look. <br /><br />Rena<br />Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271273181954823639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-37293386683881767872021-05-25T22:51:34.701-07:002021-05-25T22:51:34.701-07:00I know, so disappointing, isn't it, Dar?
