I want to thank you guys for all the wonderful things you've said about my new hair color! I was pretty nervous to do it. I've never dyed my entire hair a different color, so it was a big step to change things up. I really love the red but eventually I'll go back to the dark. I'm way too low maintenance and frugal to keep up all the roots and stuff that go along with dyed hair. It was one of those things where I knew I would eventually go back to my real color, but I've always wanted to have red hair, so why not now? Maybe one day I'll have a redheaded daughter and I can live my redheaded life vicariously through her, haha! My mom and brother both have this exact same color of red naturally, so I'm rooting for genetics to be on my side.
I got this dress like two weeks ago from Mel of Idee Geniale and I could not for the life of me figure out how to style it! Instead of just sending it on to the next girl on the Delightful Dozen list, I decided to just hold on to it for a bit and see if anything came to me. I've never really worn a completely neutral outfit so I thought I'd try it out with this dress. I guess this continues my cutting-off-vintage-dresses trend lately, even though I wasn't the one doing the cutting off this time.

I really love the simple belting here
you look great at a red head, I love the way it makes your clothes pop in a different way.
I love that dress. I've been on the lookout for one just like it. It looks great on you, and I love how you styled it!
I really love your hair!!!!
I love how you added the lace top underneath, so pretty!
Your hair does look amazing, but I agree when it comes to maintenance. I used to color my hair blonde but it was so expensive to maintain it as often as I wanted because I hated seeing dark roots on myself. I'm already itching to color it again though...eeeeeek.
love how you´ve styled your outfit, it looks very pretty.
I love this! Great mix of neutrals. And your hair is gorgeous, I love the new color :)
i love this look. Like the dress, like the belt. This is pretty :-)
Hay girl! Its the first time that I visit your blog and I really love it! Great style!
Please check my blog too!
From what I can see it doesn't look like you had anything to worry about where the colour change was concerned: It looks beautiful!
The upkeep is less fun though, I can definitely agree with that :/
Lovely outfit also, of course *nods*

This looks lovely!xxx
For purely selfish reasons, I hope you stay a redhead a long time. I myself have always wanted this shade of coppery-red-RED hair, but my coloring is all wrong for anything but dark hair. : ( So what I do is live vicariously through other people with amazing red hair. Most of all, what is especially amazing is you have so much hair so it especially stands out. Love it!!

The red hair looks fantastic! It's fun to try out a new color. I had black hair for a while in high school/early college because I was in a musical in which I played the villain...little did I know that "temporary" dye was anything but! Live and learn.
I'm going back to red soon, but I wish my hair would have even half the volume that yours does!

Ah, I envy your wavy hair! I wish my locks could look as pretty, and lovely outfit. Adorable!
Absolutely love the outfit.
I have never commented here for some reason?! I just wanted to say your red hair is stunning! :)
You'd look great in any hair color I'm sure but you look FABULOUS with your new red hair!
From one redhead to another: looks fabulous!
The ruffles compliment your waves...and the red really is very becoming. At least keep it for a while!

I can definitely see you stepping out of your comfort zone, outfit-wise! Sometimes a major change can be really refreshing. It must be due to the new amazing red hair. Gotta love a red head.

i love the lace detail and the belted dress, gorgeous with your new hair color! xoxo
This dress is great! I love the way you styled it and all the neutrals really make your hair color stand out!
The neutrals really showcase your new hair, which is awesome by the way!
Did I say before that this dress and hair makes you look like you're from another era?

Strangely enough, this outfit matches your hair perfectly, ha:D
I always love how you post so many pictures for each post. It's like a little story, sometimes..

That's a lovely dress! And the necklace looks perfect with it. xo.
Oh nice! I had forgotten about this one! Did you ever receive the grey pants from Erin?
I love how you paired it with the lace too. and your hair is amazing! I dyed mine this weekend too, but its definitely not as dramatic as yours!~
"just when you feel it you dont, its gone forever"
From my favorite album <3
I think that lace top works perfectly with it. It's cool how your hair can match pieces like your belt
You and your amazing hair! Love it, and the whole outfit :)
Love,

I love how the simple color palette of the outfit really lets your red hair shine. Altogether stunning.
I've been meaning to tell you that I absolutely LOVE your red hair! It looks so gorgeous on you and this makes me want to dye mine too although I never have (can you believe it?!) Anyway it looks stunning and it gives a whole new dimension to your outfit posts!
i LOVE the color - my hair used to be EXACTLY that color... now it's browner & i'm considering dying it back...
