What exactly is a “natural blond”? If it’s someone who had blond hair from birth to age 5, then I’m a natural blond. It’s just that at age 20coughcough, I need a little help correcting the mistakes that time has made with my body (hair color is the least of those mistakes but it’s the easiest to fix). I used to be really good about getting my highlights touched up every 6-8 weeks, but it’s been more than 3 whole months now. I’ve been telling myself that “ombre” hair is a thing now and I look totally fine and even hip, but looking at these photos, I’m starting to think I’m just fooling myself. People are going to think my reputable employer doesn’t pay their attorneys or that they work them so hard they don’t have time to get their hair done. I swear that’s not true. I’m just lazy. If you don’t see my hair returned to its “natural” state within the next 2 weeks, PLEASE call me out on it. Seriously.

My hope is that you were so distracted by my cute new wedges that you didn’t notice my roots. If that’s the case, forget everything I just said.

I posted an Instagram selfie (YES. I KNOW. SHUT UP.) in this hat when I wore it on Saturday with the caption “today felt like a Say Something Hat Day.” I’m so glad a couple people got my reference to To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. I can be friends with those people. If you’re not one of those people, go watch this movie immediately. Stream it, download it, or if you want the authentic 1995 experience, rent it on VHS. Then we can be friends too.

Anyway, it did seem like a Say Something Hat Day on Saturday. I usually save my cute summer hats for when I’m doing something fun and summery outside, but I was flying solo for the weekend and I had a full day of errand running ahead of me. I just thought it would be more fun if I wore something cute, like a hat. And I was right.

Now everyone go and have a fabulous day, or I will strip you of your princess points.
