Oh So Blue
Another little step away from the corporate world – I hung out with my favorite stylist last week and let him color my blonde, blue! As usual I let him do whatever he wants and he striped it teal and sapphire. I love how it turned out!
It’s always been important to me that my job not ban employees from having tattoos, colored hair or piercings (even though I don’t have any…not even my ears). A few years ago I gave away all my gray work pants and button down shirts. I felt so much more relaxed and creative sitting down to my desk in my own wardrobe, not some stiff silhouette someone once decided was appropriate for an office setting.
But now I’m the boss and I get to make the rules. So I’m currently parked on the couch, sans makeup, with my hair in a bun, wearing comfy black pants and an orange tie dye sports bra. And wouldn’t you know, I have more intense focus and wild motivation than ever before :)

Love the blue!! If I ever color my hair, it’ll be blue. Looks great on you!
Love it! It’s hard for me to really get into a creative frame of mind when I’m all done up in corporate attire too. Working for yourself definitely has it’s advantages!
Sarah! I remember you posting about this ages ago on my blog, so glad you got the blue! It looks great :D
I must admit, I never even considered whether my corporate job would care… oops ;)
xo
hahah good for you! I probably could have gotten away with it, but it was fun to wait until I was free :)
you get your ears done, i’ll get the marilyn monroe!!!
I’m fortunate in that where I work we can have everything except facial piercings and tattoos. I don’t see the point in banning them since I work at a mental health clinic and most of our patients have some sort of body decor, but I don’t make the rules.
I love your hair! I dyed part of mine blue about two weeks back now. It’s a little annoying since I used Manic Panic and I’m having to redye every couple of days to keep the color in. I love it though especially since it’s way too hot in Florida right now to wear my dreads.
He used Special Effects on my hair – so I’ll keep ya posted on how long it lasts :)
let’s go get your ears pierced!!!! earring shopping is the best!!!
Noooooo!!!
