Do Brunettes Really Have All the Fun?

Admittedly, I am no fashionista.  But I still keep a modest-sized pin board entitled “Stylin'”where I collect my wish list for looks and threads next to my massive pin boards dedicated to all-things-home.  And then today I realized, all of my pins on my Stylin’ board have one dominant thing in common:

Which begs the question, am I the only one that stays loyal to my roots when pinning fashion inspiration?  And if that is the case, what in the world do blondes pin?
Psst.  Special shout out congrats to Kathleen for winning the Ryobi drill kit in our giveaway.  She has all sorts of projects she is ready to get going on.

    All of those pins have one other thing in common… they forgot to eat their dinner (lunch & breakfast)!! Too SKINNY!! You have GREAT style and always have! I love the orange dress. So cute!!

    Ok I totally had to look at my boards when I saw this…and most of mine were brunette too! Funny how that works.

    yes, we do have all the fun :) and looooove the style board- especially that bottom green cardigan!

  4. OOoooh I am SO starting a cruise-wear board. We need to decide where we want to go!

    Jealous!!! Those pins are sooo beautiful. If only we had places to go to wear fun clothes like that….we should really start pinning “cruise” wear lol

    I don’t for sure. I tend to like a bohemian look in my “style” boards (although too chicken to try that out in real life) and most magazine tend to use blondes for that look and I am a brunette. Maybe it depends on the style you like?
