Can I get away with purple hair and a red and white dress?

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

My hair is very short (pixie cut) and currently purple. Will it look awful with this dress?

I really don't want to have to re-dye it.

Please just tell me it will look ok. That's all I want to hear :o

Red-purple or blue-purple? Do you have a pic of similar hair? I'm liking the sound of it.
Yesterday, took DD to a play group thing and there was a girl there wearing a purple dress with a red cardigan

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

A touch darker than this?

I'm hoping it'll look ok :)

[KissyBoo]

It will look great.

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

Pedestriana and Kissy, you are officially the best mumsnetters :o

I'm currently having similar dilemma. My hair is Manic Panic Purple Haze and I like this dress for a do I have coming up. The dress also comes in purple but I decided I would resemble a Ribena berry...

Fabulous dress, dafty! I agree that purple hair and purple dress could be a bit much. Think you'll look fab.

[PetiteBateau]

I think you'll look great, I love that dress op

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

Thanks petite :) it hides all the wobbly bits and makes me look a lot more svelt than I currently am.

[daftyburd]

Thanks. I really like my purple hair and don't want to change it or exchange the dress.

[Pedestriana]

That's a great colour!
I tried Schwartzkopf 'Purple Passion' on my red/orange (dyed) hair, but it just made it more red.
I want pillarbox red, but I can't find a bleach kit at home that a) I feel safe with or b) that'll lighten my hair enough.
Dafty - nice dress!

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

Thanks pedestriana :)

I'm feeling a lot better about the ensemble. Many thanks all :o

YY what I call a "good clash" - stylish and definitely on purpose iyswim.

[FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse]

Squiz, I'll just spend the whole day with a very purposeful expression, so people know I'm stylish and not just a bit colourblind :o
