Everything in its Right Place


Well, here's the grand debut of "the hair" in an outfit post! I took these photos after work so the sun was more in the setting mood, so I think it might make my hair look more red than it actually is. It's funny how many different shades of red it can look! The photo I posted a couple of days ago had it almost looking more brownish-red, and here it's like major red. I kinda like it. It's a bunch of different colors, so it's almost like I discover a new side to it every day. It will be cool to see how it fades/grows out. I've never had my hair any other color than my natural dark brown or black. Okay, well, I dyed it into rainbow colors once in college, but that doesn't really count in my mind because it's not like I was taking my whole head of hair into another hair color. I think I'm liking wearing my bangs natural and curly with this red hair. I feel very wild and carefree with red hair and I almost get the feeling that straightening my bangs is taming a red beast that won't be caged in!

I put a few more pictures of my new do up on my brand new Facebook fan page! If you're a member of the good old Facebook community and fancy becoming a fan, do so! I could say you'll get exclusive Delightfully Tacky content, if by "exclusive Delightfully Tacky content" you mean goofy photobooth photos of myself. And maybe Winnebago spam.


Oh, and check out this little dude who was hanging out in the ol' backyard trying to disrupt my outfit photos! A little Alaskana for yah! Oh yeah, and take note of the amount of snow that still must be melted. Regardless, I am making a new folder on my computer tomorrow: Spring 2010! I don't think it's going to snow again and the nights are allllmost above freezing now and the sun is well on its way to being the dominant heavenly body. Spring, you're here! In Alaska we don't really have spring (in the traditional sense). We have "break-up". Break up mostly involves not washing your car for two months because if you do, your car will instantaneously become brown again from all the dirty wet roads. Also: brown nasty melting snow, broken/cracked windshields from the gravel melting out of the ice on the roads being kicked up, and not wearing white because you'll end up getting brown dirt somewhere from rubbing up against a car in a parking lot.


And, since love is in the air with the coming of spring, go check out these amazing photos by Ben Blood. One of my acquaintances from Spokane (and also an incredible musician) just got engaged and her engagement photos are just too wonderful (she's also a pretty stylish lady, too!).

It looks beautiful! I love it. My hair photogrpahs red too, but in real life you can only see the red when the sun or light is hitting it. Otherwise it's kind of brownish. My hair is orginally blonde and it faded from dark brown (what I originally dyed it) to this redish color and I love it as well!

Your hair color looks fantastic in these pics!

Mousevox Vintage said...

You make a perfect redhead! I personally can't imagine keeping my hair any other color. It does fade pretty quick, though, so get ready for lots of touch ups!

Kate @ Earth Vs. The Wild Heart said...

I saw this on Chictopia but I have to say it again: your hair looks AMAZING. & it makes the colours in your outfit pop so much, especially the green. Contrasting colours win, hands down.

winniecoop said...

Your hair and outfit look great! Also, thanks for sharing those wedding photos. As a creative photographer, there's a definite stigma against doing wedding photography. However, he seems to be working with some pretty great people and producing fantastic results! It's inspiring, really.

Passport Smiles said...

I really love the red. I've always wanted to dye my hair that color. Great outfit as well; I love the colors and the mix of plaid and the scarf.

Just found you blog; such a creative layout.

You look great, I love how the color of your hair and cardigan just POP against the muted green trees.

Kristina Karenina said...

the reddish hue in your hair really opens up your face. gorgeous. i'm just curious how you'd look with straight hair.

ps. first time ive ever commented but have been a devoted reader for quite a bit.

LOVE the hair! Mine always photographs darker than it is, it's fun to see all the different ways it appears through pictures =D

Red is gorgeous on you! Super cute outfit too ^_^

Sarah K. said...

I grew up in northern Newfoundland, and we had moose in our back yard all the time! a lot of the time there were mothers and their calves- my dog used to chase them. I think moose are so cool.

also, your hair looks CRAZY good!

I can't believe how amazing your color looks! I would think it'd be hard to get it that red since your hair was so dark, but it looks perfect!

andrea k (blonde bedhead) said...

Woooweeee! You look fierce! The hair looks sweet especially with that outfit. Come to Michigan soon girl! We need a reunion!

C said...

oh well, everyone else likes your red hair, but I miss the brown a little...your hair looks so thick that it almost looks fake - I mean that as a compliment- the red looks OK, and as an artist I can imagine that you like experimenting with all different colors, and it's none of my business really, but since you have a blog, you get the opinions of random readers. Nice moose. It is a little incredible to me how much snow there is- I see a big clump in the parking garage later in the week. I was only in Alaska once and it was Aug and it was chilly... so enjoy the giant flowers and veggies while you can.

Misha said...

Your hair looks like if it's on fire. Damn you woman, you manage to combine two of my favorite thing - big curly hair and red hair. Needless to say, I love it!

Lisa Grace said...

I can't get over how great you look as a redhead.. so great. And you have stumbled upon my favourite colour, as a natural ginger, turquoise! Love it.
