if at first you don't succeed...

....dig that bottle of Manic Panic out of hiding and attempt to make the incredibly botched, incredibly not subtle highlights look intentional and funky and maybe, hopefully, somewhat attractive.

If that doesn't work out so well, rummage through underwear drawer until a misfit long-adandoned random knitted object is found. While knowing full well that the simple lace of the once-neckwarmer, now-handband in no way hides the garish dye job, hope against hope that a little silk/alpaca in a dignified plum somehow makes the "Wildfire" Manic Panic a little less... obnoxious?

Now, the big question is, do I embrace the obnoxious and whip up some more headbands, or do I make a run to the drugstore for a box of something more natural? Honestly, the first option sounds like more fun, but I am on (over?) the fence as far as work appropriateness.

Ah well, it is only hair. And I am off to dye the the stuff that I have way better luck with.

Happy Wednesday!

it really looks lovely on you. and if work gives you crap, you can just deepen the color a bit.
