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

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

A touch darker than this?

I'm hoping it'll look ok :)

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.

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

Pedestriana · 02/06/2015 18:55

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!

Thanks pedestriana :)

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

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
