I Had A Bit Of A Makeover.. With Wigs!!

Here's a little insight into my life that probably none of you knows, except my mom, maybe (Hey mom! Glad you are reading this!! Hope you're not embarrassed!).

I like to "play dress up." I don't do cosplay, role playing, war reenactments, etc.. I don't pretend I'm a princess or a super hero. Although, I would totally be your friend if you did! I mean it more like, I like to play around with my look. I get pretty bored of doing the same thing constantly.

If you've known me long enough, you know that I'm constantly cutting and dyeing my hair. If you see me in person enough, you'd know that sometimes I dress preppy while other times I dress kind of funky. I just like to change it up. It doesn't mean I don't love myself. It doesn't mean that I'm looking for attention. It doesn't mean I have something to prove.

I've been this way for as long as I can remember. I remember asking my parents for clip in hair extensions when I was 11/12 yrs old. They were like $50. I didn't think my mom would buy them for me, but she did. And, man, did I use those to death. I loved coming home from school and using them to create bangs, short hair, long hair, braids, etc. I loved changing my hair and figuring out an outfit that accentuated it.

I should add: I'm old. Extensions and fake hair weren't much of a thing back then (over 20 yrs ago!! Yikes I guess I am pretty old!), or at least they weren't in my area of the universe. I didn't wear them out in public. I just used them at home.

I've grown more confident as I've gotten older. I've been able to afford my ever changing look. I've been around people who've inspired me and found places like Pinterest and Instagram that have given me ideas. I am having loads of fun.

As you all know, I look like this right now:

The blue color doesn't photograph well unfortunately.

I just love my blue hair. But I also love being a brunette and a blonde and a redhead! I want to do it all! But my hair became so damaged last year after I tried to be blonde for a while. I don't want to constantly test it's limits. I also don't want to constantly spend tons of money at the hair dressers.

So what's the next best thing?? WIGS!!!

I bought a wig for Halloween. I was Little Red Riding Hood and I wanted to look the part:

Joe was The Big Bad Wolf. We looked super cute, if I do say so myself!

It was cheap. Like $13. It was comfortable. I wore the wig for like 12 hours.

Me with my mom, who was also wearing a wig. We're all into wigs, it seems. Lol

I also got lots of compliments on it. It didn't look super fake. It gave me an idea. Maybe I could get away with wearing it in public. So, I bought another wig. A blonde one this time for about the same price.

My phone sometimes takes terrible quality pics. Boo hoo.

I am so in love with it. I've never had hair this long or hair this blonde. I feel like Jessica Simpson in it (minus the huge teeth and boobs).

Playing around with the YouCam Makeup app.

I love that I can be a sassy redhead one day, a blonde super model the next, and a funky blue haired babe the day after! I can be whatever I want, and I don't have to kill my hair in the process.

I also got a short haired blonde wig. I'm obsessed now.

It's fun to play with different looks. It's also pretty awesome when I don't feel like doing anything with my real hair and  can just throw a wig on. It saves tons of time!!

So, get out there, do your thing, and don't worry what anyone else thinks. You're worth it and you are fabulous!!
