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?
haha, pretty close!!!
Hehe. I’ve got some pretty bad pics myself. Only my hair color never changed, but my hair style sure did!
You are so freaking adorable!!!! Glasses, blonde hair and all!
Kas
I love kid photos, but this was great. It is a nice change and I love seeing your different photos!
I’m loving those blonde curls you had as a little girl! Like you, I’ve been through many colors, most have looked pretty scary on me…I just keep coming back to the same ol’
I love your hair now, cut and color!
Love the candidness!! But, I SO have you beat with my elementary school pics that I dare not drudge up now! You’re braver than I am…LOL! Thanks for sharing.
Those are great pics! I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that you have dimples! You can really see them in that last pic. Too cute!
Great pictures. I love the last one and the glasses aren’t bad.
I actually really love the red. Either way, you rawked them all!
I think you are adorable, Cat! Those little blond curls are too cute!
Those are great pics Cat! You are much braver than I am. I can’t stand looking at all my school pics.
Hehehehe! Those glasses ROCK!
I love seeing the different photos of you!
Thanks for sharing those. Not so sure I’d want to share my school pics =)
Aww, those weren’t so bad! One time I had purplish hair and it was horrific to say the least. I got bored easily too!
Those are great. I loved seeing the many colors that are you.
Great pictures!! You are much braver than I. I colored my hair once and it was awful so I never did it again.
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
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.
awww! I like the geeky one! You are so CUTE! And I kinda like the red… I like that cut too.
I think you look Fabulous in all of them..Funny how often we change our look
I too had glasses when I was younger …I have glasses now…
It was not the glasses, it was those pair of blue eyes behind the glasses that are so beautiful.
I actually think the 1st pic looks more strawberry, and I like it1
I had the big glasses too, and so did my oldest son!
I call myself rainbow memaw to my grandsons, as I am a different color almost every time they see me! LOL.
Hubby likes it red, but it doesn’t like to stay and in photos it always looks kinda orange.. like carrot top!
LOL, Happy WW.
Those are all good pictures, I really like the strawberry blond. But I can totally relate my hair has also been just about every color there is too, just int he last year black, brown, dark brown, bright red. And when I was younger I was even more brave with the colors.
I have to agree with Rhea, you look good in red hair. You look the same as you did years ago Cat. Your so beautiful.
Great colors, you are great! But I wanted to see the pink and purple! A magical WW to you.
Adorable!! And not NEARLY as geeky as I used to look! LOL
I think all those pictures are great. You are too hard on yourself!
Thank you for making my day better already. Those photos are awesome! I wore glasses like that until I was, like, 12 so I can’t fault you for those.
I love your favorite hair cut, too. Similar to your recent cut, I think.
Your school pictures looka lot better than mine did.
Cat, you are awesome for putting yourself out there. I have some very geeky looking school pictures from the late 80′s which include stick straight long hair with curled and poofy bangs (teased of course) and purple glasses. Ouch!
Thanks for sharing. I loved your pics!
It’s not geeky, you were cute!!!!
LOL Oh Cat! It would be scary if I found my Kindergarten PERM picture.
What cute photos. You look so different in each…
I should show you my geeky photos! I had some glasses that looked like they were upside down everytime I wore them….where were our parents? Why did they let us pick out those to wear? LOL oh good memories!
I am so glad I am not the only one with embarassing childhood pics!
Awww.. how cute are you?? I love the tired momma one!!
Aww I actually think that last one was so cute! Happy WW!
That was fun to see. My hair never really changes style, just gets longer or shorter.
Awww… Cat! Those pictures are awesome! No geeks here! Just beautiful pics of Cat!
♥ HAPPY WEDNESDAY! ♥
I happen to like each photo. You were beautiful in all of them.
I really liked the strawberry blonde on you! I honestly don’t think any of the “colors” you had were bad. They all went well with your skin tone. You were a very cute kid!
These are good photos!
Feel free to check out my Wordless Wednesday http://www.gigglingkids.blogspot.com
I think you are one cute second grader! Especially if you were to see any of my pictures from grades 2 – 10! My second garde picture involved an Annie/Barbara Streisand perm.
I love the pic that is your favorite too!
You are cute
I did the same to my hair…went trough all the colors LOL
I love that curly blonde pic
Love it!!!
YOUR CURLS ARE ADORABLE!
Thick hair envy! Really like the blonde and the cut, especially with the blue eyes! I’d be afraid to show some of my elementary school pix!
Happy WW!
Moomette’s last post: Floating Bridge – Brookfield Vermont – Wordless Wednesday
Oh wow! Those are all great pictures-It’s always good to make fun of yourself now and again(keeps your head from getting too bit Lol).
I too have been through many hair colors…I’ve taken a break from the whole dye job for now, but I would LOVE to be able to dye it purple
I think you are adorable in ALL of them Cat!
Where can I get those glasses!
I think you looked adorable!
Cat,
You look absolutely gorgeous (in a fellow bloggy mommy way). I really like the strawberry blonde look. It’s funny how we see ourselves verses how other people see us.
So you were a runner? Hmm! I know you’ve been pushing indoor workout programs, but maybe that is where you need to be again. I just started running again, last month, after an eight year hiatus (stopped when I learned I was pregnant w/my oldest). The mornings are absolutely freezing, but it has been such a great high to get outside again. Do you remember those days?
Are those dimples on your face? I have those too as well as all of my children?
I’ll probably be doing a color job on my hair to hide those unwanted gray hairs. Maybe, I’ll go red; yeah right!
How cute were you!!! Adorable photos.
Those are some great pics though, thanks for sharing the colors of Cat!
I love the one of you on the track…oh to be young again!
Hey, I think I had those SAME glasses in your last pic when I was a kid, but mom put an apple sticker in the corner of them. The next year was a gold initial letters with TS. That was classic. LOL Cute pics!
You. Are. Adorable.
THE END! lol
I have some pretty bad pictures. My grandma was a beautician, enough said.
