Fun Fashion Quote
Let’s start this new year with a quote by creative director Libby DeLana on Cup of Jo that made me smile so much:
“I went gray when I was 32. It was salt and peppery, and I knew that it would take time and money to dye it. Then, one day, this little girl came up and said, ‘Your hair is like glitter! It has magic in it.’ And I thought, that’s right! It is magic. Now, it’s who I am.”
