I've been dying my own hair this color since I was 15 years old. Rebelling against the dirty dishwater / old kitchen mop in your grandma's basement hair color that somehow evaded all of my genetically superior siblings. My hairstylist later corrected that notion and told me that I had what they call a very dark blonde. But somehow old kitchen mop just seems a little more fitting. I've always been a little reckless with it. Picking out colors at Walgreens and trying them out just to see. This once resulted in an unintentional Gothic moment during high school that you could say was less than flattering and a shameful moment in picture day history. But anyway. I've been this dark color a big chunk of my life right? I'm used to it. And then a while ago, I somehow morphed into a blonde. And for a very short, not necessarily committed two years, I stayed that way. So it surprised me as I went into the salon on Saturday morning {and was reminded by my stylist that I'm a natural blonde *barely*} that I, the reckless hair chameleon, experienced what I can only call "You're getting rid of your blonde?! But it's ... BLONDE" anxiety.And then I smacked my blonde in the face and went brunette.

you look amazing as a brunette.
Looks beautiful and sophisticated. Makes your eyes look really blue too.
It looks amazing on you!!! I love it
I think it looks great on you!
yeah it is awesome. i was just talking to my husband this morning about going brunette. and right now i'm a shade less than platinum! my natural color is just so grotesque and basically dishwater/kitchen mop blonde. i will never not be coloring my hair!
i love it!!!!! im a natural dark brunette and its one of my fav hair colors (second only to an awesome redhead)!!
Soooo cute...it looks great on you! Even cuter is your personality...shine on! Xo, Katie
I love it! It really makes your eyes stand out. You look gorgeous.
I LOVE it! Looks great!!
after seeing your post a few days ago of the flash back to pre-blogging days, I thought to myself that you were such a stunning brunette and wondered why you didn't wear that color more.
Then I saw you tweet that you were going brunette again and I got so excited to see the results.
You are gorgeous and brunette suits you so well!!
I LOVE you as a brunette...it really makes your eyes stand out. But no worries, it wouldn't matter what color your hair is, your personality outshines everything. Everett is a lucky boy, he has a very cool mama :)
you look great with either hair color, but as a fellow "reckless hair chameleon" and most-of-the-time-brunette, i'm a little partial to this color.
looks beautiful!

I saw this on your twitter and knew it was coming but it was still a surprise! It looks good though; very adult and sophisticated :)
But we don't have ombre hair that matches EXACTLY now! Bummer! :( haha

Left brain, right brain, pug brain.
love you as a brunette! you look amazing as always!
The last picture. You look like Audrina... you know, from The Hills?
You look goooooood!
what a beautiful color on you!!! you are so lucky you can pull off both...if i went blonde, it would be like the episode of even stevens when ren goes blonde...oh dear.
I love it!!
I was a blonde for about a year...started out just getting some highlights and before I knew it my whole head was blonde. I am a DARK brunette, so it didn't last---$$$ :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day! You are awesome!
xoxo Michelle
Love it.

LOVE it!! You look gorgeous. I wish I was one of those people who could go back and forth between blonde and brunette.
it looks so amazing!!!!!
Looks great!
WOW! Your hair looks amazing!!
I LOVE IT! I actually just went very dark brown almost black from being a natural red head. You can still see the red in my hair though, but I love it! It's like a whole new you!

The brunette looks stunning on you! I myself am a natural brunette and if i ever went blonde I doubt it would end well.
whatever hair color you go, you always look amazing! this color is sooo pretty! and your eye POP! :)
It really does make your eyes stand out. Pretty! Now your hair looks more east coast than west coast, although the blonde was pretty too :)
LOVE IT!!!!!!! dark hair and light eyes are the prettiest.
Looks fantastic!
Going dark is always such a relief I think!

Love the brunette! Much more than the blonde, if you don't mind me saying that ;-)
Brunette looks great on you! You have a little bit of an Olivia Wilde thing goin' on. Love it! This weekend I tried to smack my natural brunette in the face but somehow even with my blonde intentions i ended up red-headed...
Look at you HOt Momma! Loving the brunette!
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the dark... though I am dark too, so I guess I'm biased. But something about dark hair and light eyes is super sexy... you look gorg!! AND TINY for just having a baby!!! So jel!
And you look stunning! It makes your skin just glow

You look great! Love the new hair.
OMG LOVE.
Thank you for finally defining what our hair color is. I used to called it "mousey" but I feel that kitchen mop is a wayyy better description. But hey, my hair dresser claims it is why we can change our hair color and still look mightyyy fine!
ps: i also had a "gothic" moment in high school. may those days RIP.

I've always really loved you as a brunette, Sydney! (well, since I stalked your archives a bit and saw your older pictures). I think it's gorgeous and very fitting for you!
I recently did the exact same thing! I had long ombré hair and went dark brown. I also have natural "dark blonde" hair. You look gorgeous with the brown!
xo Julia
You're one of those girls who pull off blonde and brunette equally, which I must say, is a talent. Being a hair chameleon myself, I tried going dark, but guess I've always just felt better blonde. Love the new look!!
It looks great. I think it really compliments your eyes and skin tone. I love it!
You make a gorgeous brunette! And besides... brunettes have more fun. :)
Well I love it but being a brunette myself, Im biased! You do look great both ways!
~Heather
You look awesome!!!
And as for the outfit...this is my ideal office outfit! I want a job that I'll be able to wear this!!! hehehe

p.s. I love love your hair
Sassy brunette! Looks so good:) It looks so rich and right on you; great choice. It's fun to mix it up....as a natural brunette I've never gone blonde...not sure I could pull it off, but adding highlights always brightens things up. I wonder if you'll start dressing differently now? The pencil skirt & button down combo certainly is a sophisticated look...will be interested to see how your new hair informs your style overall!
Beautiful! It looks as though you were born with it!
Beautiful! It looks as though you were born with it! Did Everett give you googly eyes? <3.

Love your brown hair, you look so pretty! And I am loving that outfit!
I just found your blog a couple weeks ago... LOVE.
You look great both as a blonde and now as a brunette. ;)
I too have died my hair a dark brunette since high school and have been a blondish over a year and don't know if I want to go back. But you look so beautiful with dark hair you might be changing my mind. Love the change, and the outfit!
Beyond perfection.
Holy man, you look freaking gorgeous!
It's a very pretty hair color! I love the richness of it.

Well, coming from a natural brunette, I think you look amazing! I named my blog after my temporary blonde moment (4 months) and now sometimes wonder why I did that. But it sounded so cute!
Great outfit to announce the great hair color too!

At first I wasn't sure I could love your hair dark as much as I LOVE it blonde, but dang! It's beee-utiful. I love you outfit so much today. You look great.
Coming from a fellow dirty-dishwater-old-mop-blonde-who's-been-dying-her-hair-since-age-15, I feel your pain! This color looks fab on you.
LOVE the new color! Definitely makes your eyes pop. And LOVE the outfit!

I love it! SO PRETTY!!! :)
Love your brunette! It's so sophisticated!
I love you as a brunette. I also teeter-totter between blonde and brunette and Tbh, i prefer brunette.
Looks great Sydney!! You are one of the lucky people who can pull off both brown and brunette!

OOOH I'm so excited. Just read through a gazillion of your old posts Friday and was wishing you'd go back to brunette just for the fun of it ;)
i loooooooove it!!! makes you look m more mature and works great with your skin tone :)
I too am a dishwater blonde and also hate the name! I've been blonde, been dark, left it natural for 5 years and started putting a little blonde in it again. This color makes me want to go darker again! It's just lovely! xoxo A-
You are so cute. I love the pop of animal print in your outfit through a thin belt. Gorgeous. :)
Gorgeous!! I was just in my salon on Friday debating the same exact change! I was blond for most of my life, got darker as I got older and then I started highlighting after college...however, when my roots start growing in, I see that "natural blondness" is officially gone...
You may be my encouragement that pushes me over the edge to try and embrace beautiful brunette...you sure make it look AH-MA-ZING !!! Totally love it!!
Change is good! I went brunette in college and LOVED it!
How does baby feel about the new hair?
a) you look awesome as a brunette! Very sultry.
b) love this outfit
c) I pinned it, I like it so much!

you look amazing!! I can only hope I look that good after just having a baby!! :)
you look amazing !!!
You look GORGEOUS!! It really makes your eyes pop! By the way I have that dishwater "blonde" hair color also, and I am always dying it dark. :)
Love the darker color. It makes you look more mature - in a good way. :)
What does Everett think?
oh no, i mean you look good. I'm sure you look beautiful in every color but i loved you naturally blonde soooo much and it makes you more friendly in blonde than brunette. But, well i am always a little bit, i don't know, "grrrr..." with new hair-colors. But Syd, you look beautiful!!!
...but i liked you blonde hair much more... ;)

I love your hair--it looks so glossy and healthy.
I used to be auburn but over the years it has become more brown than anything else--unless I spend most of my life on holiday--and hae always thought about dying it but I am too much of a wimp and unbelievably lazy to maintain it properly.
I LOVE you as a brunette!!!! Look at the way it makes your eyes pop -- and it totally warms up your entire complexion. Don't get me wrong, you're super cute as a blond. But the brunette? Perfection.
Love it!
Love it!
Sydney, you make a gorgeous brunette!
I think the change looks great! Was it scary to make the jump?!
Wow, that color truly is stunning on you!
Having the same natural hair color you described as your own, but always dying it blonder, I finally experienced the same "getting rid of my blonde" anxiety and went brunette too.
I love how the brunette really makes your eyes pop. Are you happy with the change?

I've been doing the same thing for about a year and a half. I'm a natural dark/dirty blonde, but I love the pop brown hair gives. :) The roots are obnoxious though, that's for sure. lol

You look amazing as a brunette! Love how you're wearing the fur from an old vest. Really adds something special to your outfit.
I love it!!
I feel kind of funny posting in the 190s...do you read them ALL? ;) My natural hair color is EXACTLY the same. I've always hated that it was neither blonde nor brown. So I too have been all over the map when it comes to color. The red was a huge leap, and it might be here to stay a while longer, but I do sort of miss the blonde. Always. You look great with any color my darling. Hope all is well with you Tys and little Ev! xoxo

LOVE IT! I have the same dishwater hair color...the only plus to it not being really brown or really blonde is that I look good going lighter or darker. You look smokin' with both colors but brown's a nice change (for now).
blonde is an addiction. you'll be back. ;) lucky you can pull off both
so sophisticated and so beautiful!
love this look on you darling
