Wordless Wednesday – The Colors of Cat

Far too often I share photos of my kids for Wordless Wednesday, so I thought I’d change it up a bit and poke some fun at myself. Over the years, I’ve gone through some major color changes…particularly my hair. It’s been brown, red, blond…even pink and purple at one point (and it wasn’t Halloween). What can I say, I got bored easily.

Let’s start with my horrific blond dye job in my sophomore year of high school. This was my annual track and field photo. What was I thinking???

Since we’re on the topic of blond, let’s take a peek at my natural blond moment. It was fabulous while it lasted.

Aside for the pimple overload, this was probably my favorite photo and haircut ever.

Let’s not forget the freaky switch to strawberry blond. I figured, hey, I’m already pale, why not rock the red? Of course that was also the same summer I ended up with a tan so the two totally canceled each other out.

Then of course, I just grew out of it all and let me true colors shine through. Don’t mind that I look ragged and tired. Having a baby at 18 wasn’t easy by any means.

And for the grand finale…for your mocking pleasure. The geekiest girl of the 2nd grade. Those glasses are killer. LMAO

    If you combined your favorite haircut ever with the strawberry blonde color, you would have “The Scully.” Kim, care to agree? ;)

  2. Trish says:

    Hehe. I’ve got some pretty bad pics myself. Only my hair color never changed, but my hair style sure did!

  17. Marianna says:

    Great pictures!! You are much braver than I. I colored my hair once and it was awful so I never did it again.

  18. LOL! You’ve inspired me. I think I will do the same for my Wordless Wednesday haha :) Love the photos! Thanks for sharing :)

    BTW – when I was 18, I had 2 kids and I looked ragged and tired also… Did you have that photo taken at WalMart? We got some done on the SAME exact background… it was in 2001. lol

  19. WOW! Those are a lot of different hair colors for sure! FUN! Mine’s always been the same – yes it gets lighter and darker, but always the same.
