New Shoes New Belt

Monday, May 9th, 2011 | 64 Comments

Bought a new belt. A few of mine are beginning to wear too much and need replacing. This one is on vintage trend right now.

Also purchased these shoes. They were inexpensive at $20. I almost didn’t get them and thought I’d instead buy an expensive pair. But why bother when I’ve purchased both expensive & cheap and often both have their downsides and I liked the shape & color of these.

First day at the office with my darker hair and I’m surprised so many people noticed. Well not everybody of course. Some could tell something was different but weren’t sure what, some were dumbfounded that anyone would color their hair darker especially for spring, some thought my natural color was the dye-job, and some really liked it. Actually most people liked it better. fml and my genetics I guess.

I still love it. Though funny how different it makes makeup choices look! Yes, yes, I need practice makeup looks with this hair color.

Those shoes are absolutely gorgeous! And the belt too, of course ;D
I’m contemplating whether or not I should dye my hair lighter, but my skin is pretty tan, so I don’t know whether or not I’d look good with hazelnut hair = __ ='’
Such is life ;P

Target ;P such a shopping weakness of mine b/c there’s usually trendy affordable things in stock x)

Kawaii!!
I had a black belt kinda like the one you bought, but it started to wear… a lot. I guess I should go shopping for some new ones, but I’m getting a little lazy ~
& such lovely shoes, Jenny! love the socks too~
It’s always hard to tell which pair at the store is the best/cutest.. a skill I might never master
Going to go shoe shopping soon though! What should I buy?

I got these at h&m in a 3 pack. There are so many options out there. Lace, patterned, short, tall. I think just go with whichever “call out” to you most and you can really see yourself wearing! I loooove floral print socks but I’m reluctant to buy them because I don’t think I’d wear them much bc I like these lace ones so much!

Looooove the shoes! I want to wear cute socks with heels one day *_* And as for make - up, you could pull off some super bold colors with that hair color. I’m def seeing some sort of blue — between navy and royal

I absolutely love those shoes!
And for $20 that’s a really nice find~. I really want to color my hair again but i just got it cut again so one change at a time is enough for me . I hope you’re loving your new hair as well!

Those shoes look so cute ♥
Haha, the people at your job don’t sound too bright! It’s funny how they’d notice glitter eyeliner before such a different hair colour change… Oy ;x I think it looks amazing on you though, really can’t stress that enough~

Lol ikr it’s a bit biased. They only notice “young” things I think ol

Those shoes are adorable, especially with the socks. And they’re great for the price because you don’t have to worry about wearing out your money. (I always worry about keeping my pricey shoes looking pricey and don’t enjoy them as much.)

I love the darker hair color. I actually have been using the John Frieda brilliant brunettes collection for the past month or two and I’ve had the same problem as you described. My chocolatey brown has started bleaching reddish. :(

You too huh?! Yea BB was totally making me more blonde and not brunette!

Ah we live by the same shopping convention!! If it’s cheap I’m more willing to buy the trendy shoes and shed no tears when they fall apart xD

Love your new shoes!

I like those shoes, I’ve been wanting to get h&m ones, but a lot of them look the same or just boring… and I tend to get a lot of brown things including bags and shoes, but those ones look cute!

sock & sandals!! how is this faux pas so terribly adorable when the shoes have a heel/wedge/platform? It’s my current fav.
super cute find, especially for the price.

jenny said
May 11, 2011 @ 4:06 pm

Yessssss it’s totally cute right?!?! I admit I love sock and shoe combos bc they’re so much more comfortable xD

Love the new belt, especially adore the shoes!

Some people are so annoying when it comes to new hair. They can’t just be nice (or not say anything at all). So what if you liked my old hair? Be polite, or just don’t say anything >.>

Luckily I’ve had lovely people like yourself say they like my new hair, but when I first showed it to my boyf he was like ‘woah crazy’…i haven’t let him live that down haha

jenny said
May 11, 2011 @ 6:17 pm

Hahaha I’m totally with you, just don’t say anything if you don’t like it. Once I bleached my hair & my friend said I looked “whorish” needless to say we weren’t friends for much longer… LOL

I think guys choose words SO POORLY!!! by crazy he probably meant “different” right!? xDDDD NEVER FORGET!

Oh, may I also ask if you’ve sold your cocolulu overalls yet ? If not, I would be very very interested in purchasing them ~!

jenny said
May 11, 2011 @ 6:15 pm

Oh no I haven’t yet!! I was just weighing them the other day for shipping etc I think I’ll post them soon for around $40 (including shipping) if you’re interested. They’re in good condition

 
 
jenny said
May 11, 2011 @ 6:11 pm

They’re from H&M actually! Sold in a pack of 3! For like $6, something cheap I think. They have a couple different packs of vintage girly style socks

Suzu said
May 12, 2011 @ 3:55 am

I’ve tried looking for cute socks at H&M but wasn’t able to find any, but I’ll definitely go check again ! ^^ thanks for the tip !

about the overalls, I am interested ! I was expecting a much higher price so i’m very pleasantly surprised as well~ I’ll look forward to your sales post!

Such cute buys! I have been dying to try that look with the cute socks, but I just don’t think I can pull it off :O
I absolutely love your hair in the darker shade! It makes me miss my brown hair :(

i forgot to comment on the last entry but–your new hair color is so cute! it does suit you. but so does blonde, so now you change back and forth when you’re bored. ♥

your socks and shoes are so cute omg. ;___;

jenny said
May 11, 2011 @ 6:09 pm

I know thank you! I feel lucky I can do either color. I did BLEACH blonde once and it looked really good but the upkeep was too much :(

Becca said
May 10, 2011 @ 8:47 pm

Brunette! I love this color… I can never get my hair to be this color because going lighter than black always resulted in this gross poopy brown. I just gave up on hair coloring after high school. Show us more make up and outfits with this color!!! We demand it :3

 
Steph said
May 10, 2011 @ 8:49 pm

I love the new shoes!!!! I was going to get something similar 8D

 
May 10, 2011 @ 9:37 pm

I actually like you with darker hair. It really makes your eyes pop! Love your new shoesies and belt. Did you get the belt from UO? It looks a lot like one that I have.

jenny said
May 11, 2011 @ 6:08 pm

I didn’t actually but it’s a similar look right!? It’s definitely what I wanted! It’s from Target for 12$ I bought one 3 sizes bigger so I could loop it around & under

May 13, 2011 @ 3:06 pm

Lucky girl! I love Tarjay!

Hey Jenny!! Thanks for your comment, and sorry I haven’t been on your blog so often lately! ;__; At least I have you in my blogroll now so I get your updates faster than before

Your new belt and shoes are so cute!! As you are about my height, do you have American size 4? That makes buying shoes in Japan quite easy for us, right? :-)

jenny said
May 11, 2011 @ 6:04 pm

No worries lady!!! I’m usually on my phone & RSS so I don’t comment very much. The US doesn’t make size 4, but these are 6.5 which is Japanese 22.5 or M! So I can buy lots of shoes when I visit there xDD

Sandals and socks are such a cute combination. You wear them so well!

Haha people always say that to me: “why do you dye your hair DARKER???” Because not everyone wants blonde hair lol!

Love the shoes! sooo cute!!

 
Courtney said
May 20, 2011 @ 10:01 pm

haha it’s always nice when people notice, right? Although I can’t fathom why they would ask why darker! Because brunettes are hot too?? idk I personally don’t like blond hair that much…I think it only suits a few people really well and a lot of the tones are just dead with no spectrum in it. Plus everyone has it.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, love the shoes and yes for socks with them…I love wearing socks but I’m always afraid they’ll look dorky with my nice shoes.
