to do or not to do

So growing up I was a blond. Now some history for ya -  as I got older my hair starting turning from blonde to dirty blonde to brunette. Alas I was at the age when going to the salon for coloring was acceptable, and living in California, so until 4 years ago I was a blonde (read all-over highlights every 6 weeks like clockwork!).  After a big break-up with my HS BF (yes, If you are good at math I dated my HS BF for nearly 10 yrs, OY what you do as a youngin! hehe) I went brunette, and that is where I have been ever since! 

I love it, it definitely fits me and is much easier to maintain...except I have to cover some pesky grays (thanks Mom!)!!! But in my upcoming appointment I'm thinking that I want to change it up a bit. No I am not coming back from a salon appointment a blonde....just need something to change it up. Here are some photos I've saved from the 'net (can't remember where, sorry) that I keep coming back to. I don't want 'ombre' but maybe a hint of it, but not. I want the 'I was out in the sun for far to long a while ago - sexy color'.....Sure, I know thats just how I'll explain it! 

Both of these are from Season 6 of Sex in the City, Carries hair here is my inspiration. And if you were (are) slightly obsessed with that show, like I was in college - specifically her hair in the episode where she decides to move to Paris. 

Everything about this whole look, really works for me.

Thoughts? Honestly, your opinions on why or why not are totally and whole heartedly welcome & desired! You are like my friends - so spill!!!! I know I can trust you - The Hubs just says "sure uh-huh, don't what you want babe!" 

Happy St Patty's Day Loves & a BIG HAPPY Dating ANNIVERSARY HUBS!!!! Happy 4 years - I love you more than I did the day we got married, you are my world and I can't wait for all the fun that lies ahead of us!
