inspiration workshop! - red

I'm a day late getting this out, but I guess it's better late than never, right?

This week's prompt for the Inspiration Workshop! put on by Gussy Sews is RED!

While thinking about this prompt the thing that kept popping in my head was, hair.

I distinctly remember when my fascination with red hair began.

The year was 1997. The movie was 'Titanic'.

Yes. I fell in love with red hair after seeing Kate Winslet with it in 'Titanic'.

After seeing the  movie in the theater multiple times, I tried (successfully) to emulate the color on my own head.

Over the years I've gotten red put in my hair multiple times.

So far, my favorite was a couple of years ago when my sister, who is a hairdresser, did my hair really dark all over and put streaks of bright red in on top.

I loved it!!

The picture doesn't really do it justice.

Trust me when I say that it was BRIGHT red and AWESOME!!

One day I WILL get the nerve to do an all over BOLD red.

SO pretty!!!

If you could do any color in your hair, what would you do???

bewitched by - front braids

Right now the hair style that I am completely bewitched by is the front braid.
When it comes to hair, my absolute favorite style has some bohemian element to it.
Actually I pretty much love anything bohemian style.
This is a hair style I would love to perfect.
Sure, I can braid and can even do front braids on my daughter.
But doing it on myself is another story.
Plus, I have a pretty noticeable (in my opinion) widow's peak, so I need to figure that into the braiding equation.
I guess that practice makes perfect, so I'll keep on practicing until I'm confident enough to wear a lovely braid or two in my hair.
Until then, I'll just swoon over the following pictures.
