My own hair is silver and I bookend with grey, silver, and white/ cream as well as snake print. But I wear a ton of blue so I often look for blue footwear also and really enjoy wearing it when I can find it! As Janet and others said, great blue shoes can be surprisingly tough to find, so snap up those beauties if they fit you well!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094892 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 21:20:36 +0000 Kaelyn 2094892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara L--matched nail polish looks great, too!&nbsp; I really enjoy that look on others.&nbsp; I used to paint my nails every week but I gave it up a long time ago because it was too time consuming once I started college the first time.</p> <p>JuniperGreen--that dark pink sounds beautiful!</p> <p>suntiger--indeed, I do!&nbsp; They're iridescent Docs.&nbsp; They reflect rainbows, so there's blue in them.&nbsp; (find attached)</p> <p>JAileen--I do have biggish feet (I wear a 10 or 11 women's and an 8 or 9 men's).&nbsp; I like to wear a mix of women's and men's clothing because it suits my style and my proportions.</p> <p>slim cat--my hair fades to aqua/green too, if I wait too long between dyes.&nbsp; It did it more when I first started dyeing it and now the blue sticks around longer.&nbsp; I love metallics, too, but I sadly don't have any (yet)!</p> <p>Cardiff girl--go for it if you want to!&nbsp; Purple is fab.</p> <p>Angie--thanks so much!&nbsp; I'm enjoying others' examples in this thread, so I'm sure your clients all look amazing.</p> <p>rachylou--color changes are fun!&nbsp; I think I'll end up playing with other colors at some point, but the blue has become a signature and I'm not ready to let it go yet.&nbsp; I like the idea of purple or magenta.&nbsp; Dyeing has definitely affected what I like to wear, too.</p> <p>torontogirl--thank you!&nbsp; I'm looking forward to experimenting with this.</p> <p>Sal--thanks!</p> <p>Kari--SWOON.&nbsp; Those combinations look amazing on you!&nbsp; I especially love your rose gold, those are lovely.</p> <p>Gigi--nice!&nbsp; We could be shoe twins!</p> <p>Style Fan--thank you so much!</p> <p>Bijou--AAAAAH, I love those!&nbsp; I really shouldn't get another pair of Docs until I've worn in my rainbow iridescent ones a bit (they're starting to break in, but they still need some work).&nbsp; But I will keep in mind that they exist.&nbsp; Stompy boots are a favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094731 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 12:15:50 +0000 Bijou 2094731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big YES vote from me. Since I work in accounting and our dress code is "natural" hair colours (I am not sure how natural my very light blonde hair actually is) I have avoided rainbow hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the idea of blue footwear for you, would you consider blue Doc Marten boots? I have to match my colourful footwear to bags, clothing and accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094728 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 12:00:40 +0000 Style Fan 2094728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea.&nbsp; The blue footwear would look amazing with your hair.&nbsp; I don't colour my hair but I will bookend it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094681 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 00:24:20 +0000 Gigi 2094681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great that you're enjoying your hair! I love the idea of bookending it with your shoes.</p> <p>I hope you can try out the snakeskin flats. Those look amazing. I'm off to check them out myself right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094677 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 00:09:54 +0000 Kari 2094677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are nice selections! I especially like the oxfords. </p> <p>Yes, I bookend with red, burgundy, pink. Not exactly the same shade. Since I can’t use Finds well I’ll grab some photos.<br /> Some of the bookending is coincidental, I.e. rose gold when my hair color faded. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094676 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 23:57:27 +0000 Sal 2094676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun- go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094667 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 22:41:33 +0000 Helena 2094667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not dyed my hair a rainbow colour; still, I love your bookending idea - I think it's fun to use a conventional styling technique in a rather unconventional way! Love the loafers especially, but these all look awesome to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094650 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 20:16:06 +0000 rachylou 2094650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, that I have not tried to do. Maybe because my color changes every six months? But it does effect what clothes I pick... hmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094637 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 19:46:17 +0000 Angie 2094637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have clients and friends with rainbow hair, and they bookend with footwear in the same colours beautifully. Go for it! These options look fab.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094622 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 18:49:12 +0000 Cardiff girl 2094622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had some purple flashes in my hair but never thought of getting purple shoes to match.l think it’s a brillant idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094606 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 17:14:17 +0000 slim cat 2094606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to do all blue hair that often turned to blue/green/aqua after a while. No blue shoes but plenty of blue, green clothes and often blue earrings. Would love blue shoes but settle for metallics ( greying hair works well with it ). I like the loafers the best and then Cap Toe Derby.<br />Good luck with your search! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094595 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:27:47 +0000 JAileen 2094595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great idea! &nbsp;My hair is naturally silver, and I have several pairs of silver and pewter shoes, including oxfords. &nbsp;I had never heard of bookending until I found YLF, and have really embraced the concept.</p> <p>I prefer the snake print because I love snake prints, but all would be fine. &nbsp;The Florsheims are men’s shoes. &nbsp;Do you have big wide feet? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094591 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:17:19 +0000 nemosmom 2094591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had colored hair, I would definitely bookend with colorful shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094586 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:51:50 +0000 Anonymous 2094586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to have fun hair, with sunset colors, but would be a no go for my prmary job. Would bookend though :)<br /> Big yes to blue shoes, especially blue snake for you! Didn't you have some shoes that were iridescent w blue too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094584 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:51:06 +0000 JuniperGreen 2094584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really fun mission, those loafers look like a slam dunk to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've got a pretty natural look now with my highlights but I used to dye the underside of my blonde hair dark pink in high school and college... I forgot about that! Would have been fun to bookend with bright pink sneakers or maroon boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094581 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:44:22 +0000 Sara L. 2094581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have colored hair, but if I did, I would definitely match my shoes to my hair.&nbsp; I'm matchy-matchy and that would make me so happy.&nbsp; I'm the type to match my outfits to my nail polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094574 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:09:17 +0000 Kaelyn 2094574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roberta--sorry to hear your boss didn't like it.&nbsp; I'm definitely lucky to be a student right now and have a lot of freedom to experiment with my appearance.&nbsp; Those shoes are lovely, but they're sold out of my size, too.&nbsp; I wear a 10 or 11, depending on how they run. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094571 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 15:00:30 +0000 Roberta 2094571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a deep blue swatch and loved it, but my boss, not so much, so eventually I covered it up. My boss was nice about it, but I liked her too much to rub her the wrong way. Anyhoo, I have been admiring the Steve Madden Haylie loafer at Anthro, because it is a multicolor snake print that is mostly blue. Sadly, no longer in my size, but maybe yours?</p> <p><a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/steven-by-steve-madden-haylie-loafers?category=SEARCHRESULTS&#038;color=015&#038;quantity=1&#038;type=STANDARD" rel="nofollow">https://www.anthropologie.com/.....e=STANDARD</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094569 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 14:55:10 +0000 Kaelyn 2094569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet--black footwear is my default, too.&nbsp; My natural hair color is a very dark brown that's often read as black, so I find that it matches fairly well (plus, black is a favorite neutral, so black shoes go with virtually everything I own).&nbsp; I agree about blue shoes being tough to find, so I think I'll definitely go for it.&nbsp; I just need to spend some time planning other purchases so I don't end up buying too many shoes, as I'm becoming conscious of just how many I own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094567 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 14:50:00 +0000 Janet 2094567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only have some blue streaks (started mixing a little silver in there too last time), but my wardrobe has LOTS of blue, so I coordinate much of the time. I get a lot of comments on it, in fact (“oh, your scarf/jacket/car matches your hair! How cool!”). </p> <p>So I naturally love the idea! It’s not always easy to find great blue shoes, so I say pounce when you find some you love, especially with snake print trending. I have one pair of blue booties and a pair of blue oxfords (both about 7 years old but still in great shape). I’ve thought about adding more but I default to black footwear a lot. </p> <p>I looked at my Finds and realized I have a few more items that sort of bookend my blue/teal/turquoise a bit.... :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bookending-rainbow-hair#post-2094565 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 14:45:31 +0000 Kaelyn 2094565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I've had blue hair for a little over a year now (which makes me <i>so</i> very happy, because I'd been wanting it for about a decade!) and in all this time, I have failed to acquire any blue shoes.&nbsp; I think 2020 will be the year I get a pair.&nbsp; Or two.&nbsp; Or three.</p> <p>Here are a few I'm looking at, which fit pretty well into my shopping list for the year.&nbsp; I wanted oxfords and leather flats, and the loafers aren't explicitly listed, but I've been wanting a pair for quite a long time (and look super comfortable, which is priority #1 for me when it comes to shoes).&nbsp; I'm especially swooning over the flats because I've been really digging the snakeskin trend (I have snakeskin combat boots and booties and a snakeskin blouse from my fall shopping last year).</p> <p>I'm curious if anyone else has a wild hair color and shoes to match!&nbsp; Or if anyone has in the past. </p>
