Backhanded compliment of the week
So, I'm currently letting the last lot of Directions - 'Rose Red' pink - wash out so that I can dye my hair Fire Red again. This means my hair is, temporarily, not a million miles away from the colour I was born with - NB not my 'natural' colour, as I take the view that the aforementioned Fire Red is my natural colour ;)
I also wore a purple blouse to work today. This does occasionally happen - that, or red, or green.
It gets very warm in my office towards the end of the day on sunny days like today, so I tied my hair up in itself to get it off my neck. (NB not anything I think is a good look, but needs must and all that...)
Cue colleague coming in to rave about how I look 'completely different' with my hair off my face like that and with something other than black around my shoulders.
Now, this was clearly meant as a compliment, so I chose to take in the spirit in which it was intended, but I couldn't help thinking of The Breakfast Club:
Claire: You know, you really do look a lot better without all that black shit in your eyes
Allison: Hey! I like that black shit
