Oh good, I seem to have reverted to an upright citizen at least as long as you don't click it.
Thank you kindly , Lona!

Looking a bit dishevelled and as if I am having a LLD!

Your hair sounds lovely and I wish I could do it too. I would have thought block colours of anything can be harsh and have always favoured the bluey end of the spectrum. I think that would look good with your colouring - never ever beige or brown!!!

Very brave thing to do Alea. I'm sure you will look elegant in anything (except beige, obviously).

Your hair colour sounds lovely Alea, and rather than fighting nature, is going with it!smile I hate to see roots showing on anyone's hair, it always looks awful, so highlights or a few lowlights is a good idea.

Thank you soop from pics you have posted you have lovely colour sense, I shall pay close attention!
And hope that I can now stop cut back on funding my hairdresser's foreign holidays to quite the same extent!

Alea I have also "gone grey"...I like to wear soft teal green, dusty shades of lilac, warm red, taupe is looks elegant worn with almost any colour. Soft sage green is also very much to my liking. Sorry, have to dash. Should be washing up the dishes. hmm

Sorry about the "at all, at all," bit of a Mrs Doyle moment there!

Stage 2 of letting my hair go grey now completed. I have had all my "warm" lowlights cooled down to a cool ash, and very pale silver highlights blended in with the grey which was threatening to break through!
DH says it actually makes my face look "younger" (clever man) but I am now looking at my wardrobe and thinkng about which colours will suit me best. I fear any beige/camel/tan things will not do me any favours, but look forward to " rediscovering" monochrome winter clothes, bright crisp red, white and blue (no not the Union Jack) . Purple and deep pink will also be fine but I think pastels might be for the charity bag.
Oh and I need to look out my lippy!
Have you changed what you wear, especially near your face, at all as your hair colour has "matured" at all?
