blonde ambition

A collection of pretty pictures to fuel you. I've been getting really obsessed with muted colors and 60s/70s photography vibes lately. These are some of my favorite photos I've come across recently via tumblr. I am/was tempted to organize these nicely but I'm too lazy and each picture deserves to be on its own rather than conjoined with another.

bangs be bangin' and dreads ain't dreadful, hence, v-v-v-vunderful

Kind of want bangs. I used to have them and I hated them. Not gonna lie, they made me feel ugly. It kind of pisses me off that a HAIRCUT was able to make me so insecure, but I dunno! I suppose back then they just didn't make me feel like me. But who knows! Maybe I've.... matured? Is that possible? Maturing? As a teenager? Can that like, actually happen?

Anyway, I attempted to gather some friggen awesome photos of fab ladies with fab bangs, but I got very lazy, so the photo collection is minimal. Hairstyle thoughts? I was thinking bangs, dreads maybe, but dreads are really hard to take care of! And I'm ashamed to admit this, but one of my friends was like "ew dreads are fucking nasty and boys think they're ugly." And now I don't know if I want them! Why am I such a butt face! Caring if other people think I'm pretty, but I do when it comes to cute boys who I drool over in my sleep and who I secretly stalk on facebook like, everyday of my LIFE. Wah! As ashamed as I am, I know I am not alone! And I'm proud that I'm not afraid to admit I am insecure! And I am still a feminist, because being a feminist is accepting your "flaws" and being a bad ass about it and lots of other great stuff that inspires me to be AMAZING. (Also unsure about getting dreads because if I ever wanted to go back to natural hair, I'd have to shave my head or get a super short cut, and I love being able to style my hair! And I don't really want short hair right now. Thoughts gals and guys?)

Anyway, so right now I'm actually getting some awesome pictures of dread styles that I love and would want if I were to get dreads. And bang styles! Give me advice though people! Coloring ideas? Purple, red, pink, dark brown? HAIR IDEAS MANIA PLEASE. Also, what is your definition of a feminist/feminism?

PRETTY DREADLOCKS OMG. This gal is fucking awesome. Love her dreads. 

Dreads like these! How to obtain such dreads? The world may never know.

So pretty. Celia Hammond lookin' like a beast with her pretty lipstick and perfect bangs.

It's Francoise Dorleac with awesome bangs and 60s vibes all around! Vibes vibes vibes!

Don't forget to answer ze questions because I really enjoy stimulating conversations via ze comments.

hello mickey

This is my favorite jacket. It's this semi-retro Mickey Mouse jean jacket from the disney store that blows the roof off my house with its awesomeness. I bought it from my friend for $3, and I wear it all the time. It definitely has some great 80s/90s vibes, which is perfect for my life and obsession with the 80s/90s. I feel like this 2012-ish era is going back to the styles of the 90s/60s/80s... grungy/neon/leggings/collars/bandanas/keds/ankle socks, etc, but then again maybe only my city is going back to those decades... WHO KNOWS. I am honestly so ashamed of how I've been dressing lately. It's just so mundane and typical, not original or exciting or daring or experimental at all! And I'm not hating on the more simple dressers or the world, I just really want to be a unique dresser, and I'm failing at doing so! I think part of the problem is that I haven't found my style niche, so I'm still trying to find my style comfort zone. I really need to start getting back into my weird-dressing stage of life. #YOLO (das da motto.)

I think my main issue here is that I am just extremely bored of my clothes, and I've basically exhausted all possible possibilities of ways to style/wear them. I just need to go on a major thrift store adventure and bring home a huge clothing haul of like, 20 items so I have TONS of new stuff to wear/style/make look awesome. I think awesome is an unappreciated adjective... people just feel that it's such a normal, boring adjective that they diminish all its great qualities and sassy essence.

POOOOOOOOOOOOP

Funk mood. Let's party.

sixties nineties vibes

I wore this outfit last week. I really love it, because it surrounds me with this aura of 60s and 90s vibes, which I love considering the 1960s and the 1990s are my two favorite decades. The flannel that I used my incredible skill to fringe, was thrifted, and it reminds me SO MUCH of My So-Called Life, and even more so of Angela and her signature flannel attire. The dress is reminiscent of a 1960s style, and then my gold boots+lace tights+socks+skirt under dress (dress=see through, me=no spandex, skirt=dress not see through anymore, skirt=makes outfit even more wonderful) just make it more awesome than ever thought possible. Yeah, I know. I rock.

I'm actually currently rewatching My So-Called Life for the third-ish time. The show is just SO relatable and SO accurately demonstrates the tomfoolery that seems to constantly be dancing about inside the minds of teen girls. Not only that, but I'm absolutely hardcore in love with Ricki. He is such a sweet and beautiful person who deserves everything that he was deprived of, and more. Additionally, Ricki probably has the raddest vest collection I've ever seen, and I have a fetish for vests.

Thrifted flannel, thrifted boots by Dirty Laundry, Nordstrom skirt, Audrey 3+1 dress, Forever21 tights, American Apparel socks, Claire's necklace, Frida Kahlo earrings, random heart barrettes.
