so i have a hair appointment tomorrow to get my hair dyed some kinda inky dark blurple black
i have been using a clarifying shampoo and washing my hair multiple times over the past couple days, bumping up to trying the Vitamin C trick tonight:
neon pastel coral
fairly close to actual color, I think.
hard to tell
at night
using a phone camera
on the side of my head
at the consult on Wednesday, she was talking about maybe needing to use a color corrector (iirc, she wasn't even considering regular bleaching, so that's reassuring), and i'm trying to decide if i should do another round, or give my hair a nap (no time for a full 'rest') and just have her overdye it and hope for the best. it's not strawlike, but it's too dry for silky, more of a matte satin.
so i'm reluctant to let her go any harsher than clarifying shampoo; this is a new lady, and my anxiety's been acting up, so i can't tell if it's just that or a lack of connection with her making me cautious. she seemed kinda in her head, and i'm going with me giving her a puzzle/challenge to resolve on a short timeline rather than an instant distaste for me. (it is a rare but disconcerting experience; i'm pretty affable y'all, encountering people who hated my face unprompted rocked my young worldview. so for once, anxious paranoia has a basis in reality.)
color's a bit patchy, but i don't think i mind it, gives some dimension (i will tell myself) (i really don't think i care so long as it's not weird light blotches. but healthy > even & fried)
...i have yet to get the tux tailored or obtain suspenders :rotate:
but! i realized i can wear my floral brogues wingtips! i think a couple of my heels would also work, so i might wear those for the first time/in years
I frigging love this jacket. It's cool and blustery today but I'm warm without overheating and it has big ass pockets and is lightweight but not puffy. Fuckin A.
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i had a jacket just like that but it was jean material and so cool AND THEN THE ZIPPER BROKE AND I CAN NEVER WEAR IT AGAIN WHY DO YOU HAUNT ME WITH THIS TRAGEDY
The tees are alright. The polo and button tee will probably get the most use. The material feels kinda cheap but the cut is nice and for like, $6 I can't complain.

Sorry for garbage bathroom lighting. The button up is a dark navy.
good lord boy i am trying to stay happily fake married could you show a LITTLE restraint heavens the vapours done come on me
Had to go to the back up barbershop, I think they did an ok job
Haircuts always feel good
They do! If I'm more down than normal sometimes I'll get a haircut even if I don't 'need' one. Just a few moments of rest and attention can really turn things around
Spent the last week in chilly Melbourne for PAX and somehow managed to get through it without buying a bunch of new clothes, other than some pants and this neat jacket so I wouldn’t die.

How do people feel about Uniqlo's sizing of jeans? I need a few pairs and their pricing is attractive but I require higher waist sizes and I hear Uniqlo can run smaller than the designated size a bit. Also I do not have a store nearby so these will be internet purchases (they seem to have a quality return policy which is good).
Uniqlo sizing is usually perfect for me but I'm very skinny so that's probably the opposite of what you want. Some of them have shrunk in the wash on me too. Never had any issues with returns though

Their return policy is very good, which is nice because I've found their jeans just don't fit me at all, I usually go 33/34 waist and their 33/34 don't even get to the button to close around the waist for me. I find they do run small, as I got some Large shirts which fit a little tight (6', 200 lb, bit of a gut), and had to go up a size on a large jacket to XL to get something that fit right.
Uniqlo definitely design for smaller frames, but their returns are good so you can probably afford to just order a few options and return the ones that don't fit
I would feel really bad about it, but I would probably toss or donate that before wearing it
If you get me in SuperSatans or SexySaints, just lemme know (mark NSFW as a "no" on your wishlist, for example) and I won't send you that hoodie. Like, I literally said "If I get you, unless you state otherwise, one of these hoodies will likely be a part of your gifts". I understand that not everybody wants a jumper which clearly proclaims their enthusiasm for tongue-punching fartboxes, I'm not a complete monster. I'll get you something else in your gift selection!
ennnnnnh, looking into the other goods and then the guy's instagram, maybe no? no thank you.
to further clarify, i am not shitting on joke gifts or foul language (personally, i'd opt for I'm A Fucking Lady out of what's available), but the brand culture ain't something i want to support.)
Fashion thread, I have never really tried out pocket squares before but I'd like to wear one to a wedding tomorrow
With a medium grey suit and a burgundy tie, what's the rule on the square? I'm seeing conflicting advice online for if they should directly match or not
Edit: the balance seems to be leaning towards "don't match" but as I'm bad with colors I don't quite know what would complement it
Somehow I got pen on my nice pants hmm
Then
I mistakenly used tide pen a bit on pants even when my instincts said I shouldn’t and should wait till I got home and used detergent or something
It was a mistake of course
I don’t listen to my instincts

nothing wild for now
maybe a leather bracelet?

I ordered a pair
Now to see if they make me look like the glazed holiday ham I suspect they will.
The tees are alright. The polo and button tee will probably get the most use. The material feels kinda cheap but the cut is nice and for like, $6 I can't complain.
I think I googled "hilariously single guy shower curtains" and there it was.
so we settled on a regular maritime one from ikea that has merchant ships and trade going on in it

That explains a lot about last saturday night...
I’ve been good and not bought things recently
Maybe I won’t buy anything until thanksgiving
Please, be advised-
1: I fully intend to get involved with Secret Satans AND Secret Saints this year,
and
2: If I get you, unless you state otherwise, one of these hoodies will likely be a part of your gifts: https://lindafinegold.com/collections/hoodies/products/eat-her-ass-hoodie-black

don't go darker than your suit color (imo, but if you're on the lighter side of medium grey that's fine)
you also have the option of matching the pocket square with your shirt

I know tide pens are evil and risky
