Fierce Friday: The Big Hair Reveal!

Ok. It's the moment you've all been waiting for. My big hair reveal! And the color is….

Me with turquoise hair.

Back of my head.

TURQUOISE!!! Woo!

All I have to say is thank God I'm blonde because this involved way too much effort on my part. Particularly my armpits which meant hanging out with my arms up for way longer than anyone should have to hang around with their arms up. Here's a process picture in which I look disturbed because it looks like I've killed a smurf by squishing its head in my armpit.

And here are Plum and I - she was dying her hair blue.

Anyway, since it's Fierce Friday I figured I'd choose some sort of Fierce Friday look to coordinate with my new turquoise hair. And that look is - PASTEL GOTH!

What? Pastel goth? What kind of weirdness is this?

Yes, friends. It's actually a thing. People dye their hair pastel colors and then pair pair feminine and pastel clothes with black and goth-themed clothes. It's sort of a girly take on the goth aesthetic. Think creepy and cute. I saw an article on buzzfeed describing the look as "if Lisa Frank puked on a pair of combat boots" and I think that's a pretty accurate descriptor.

For my pastel goth look, I'm wearing a pink dress shirt I doctored up. I found the shirt at a thrift store and wore it on this Fierce Friday. Now I've swapped out the collar buttons and added craft studs to the collar and shirt pocket to make it more funky. Here's a process picture of my dress shirt and one of the craft studs:

You were able to see the back of the collar in the photo of my hair. Here's a closeup of the front of the collar and the pocket:

I'm pairing the DIY dress shirt with grey pants, a black tie, my favorite black boots, my axe earrings, and light blue nail polish.
