Neon Fade, Neon Bright

Apologies for the overload of photos of the same outfit. We just got so many great ones I couldn't choose! Yeah I'm vein, but I have come to terms with that. The light of day was just about to disapear but we cought it just in time. It was been so glorious out these last couple days, I don't remember a arch like this since... ever. A week or so ago I discovered a new favorite thrift spot. The Village Discount Outlet in ogan Square. I had been there before, about 4 years ago by recomendation of a classmate, but when I found nothing I guess I wrote it off imediatly. On about a monthy basis I visit the Roscoe Village location. When I finaly gave Logan another chance it paid off big time. I bought this button up in a kind of faded neon shade and this neon green jersey skirt (among other treasures.) As I was shopping I knew they needed to be paired together. The shirt is amazing with the little woden buttons and frayed collor and pockets. It is all in the detail. And I don't even know if I want to talk about me feelings about these Asos glasses as I think they affection I feel makes me sound even more absolutly crazy than I already do.

HAIR!

I think one is expected to play with hair color during teen years. In high school though, I kept my hair long and brown. Except one time when I put in that semi-permanent purple foam dye, which really made my hair red as I didn't bleach it first or anything.
Inspired by one to many editorial of pastel and/or rainbow hair, I had to try it for myself. My sisters helped me do this while I was in Detroit over the weekend, and I retouched the color a bit the other night. I have to say I am highly enjoying my color experimentation. Althogh, it is making dressing difficult as I feel that everything I put on has to play off my hair.
Also while back in Detroit I had a couple killer thrift trips. My sister and my mom are my favorite thrifting partners because they share my patience. I found these late 90's/early 2000's Silver bell bottoms that fit the exact criteria I have been searching for, for over a year. Meaning tight to the knee then big flare, and high waist. Woo!

beehave beehive

I just saw this on the Beckerman Bite Plate. Callianne Beckerman sporting a great 60's beehive hairstyle.

 

It reminded me of when I got my hair done in a beehive for my senior year Sadie Hawkins dance.
