GOING GREY IN MY TWENTIES?

[Dress, coat & tights gifted to me by Mistral]

I think I discovered my first grey hair when I was seventeen. I didn't think anything of it, in fact – it didn't bother me at all. But in recent weeks I've noticed a few more...

Probably in the last month or two, I've been finding more and more grey hairs. Again, at first I wasn't phased in the slightest, but the more I found, the more I started to freak out.

Grey hairs have begun sprouting up from my scalp and I honestly don't know how to feel about it. Will they take over my entire head of hair? Will they remain slow and steady until I reach my thirties? Or will I get greyer and greyer as the years go on? Well, I have no clue.

I don't know if I'm going grey or if I simply have grey hairs. I don't know if it's normal and I don't know why this is happening. I have had a stressful life, I won't lie. I've had a lot going on in the 22 years that I've been walking this earth, and in all honesty I'm not surprised that I've got a few greys already – in fact I'm surprised they never came sooner.

Hair doesn't define us. My cousin taught me this.

Am I bothered if I go fully grey? Slightly. But do I care? Not really. Although I may feel slightly worried/bothered by my sudden sprouts of grey, is it really that important? Should I actually care about it? No, I shouldn't. I'm 22, I'm in my prime and I have my whole life ahead of me. Am I really going to let a few grey hairs get in the way of my life? I don't think so.

My cousin has Alopecia Universalis – she is fully bald and embraces it. She has taught me that hair doesn't define us AT ALL. My cousin is brave, courageous, so beautiful and absolutely amazing – and having no hair doesn't stop her from being the beautiful, amazing person that she is.

If I go grey, I go grey. If I don't, I don't. It is what it is and I won't let grey strands of hair stop me from living my life.

Each of these gorgeous garments team so well with each other to create the most amazing laid-back, relaxed-yet-chic outfit – perfect for winter walks in the winter sunshine!

The dress is perfect for me – especially as a curvy pear shaped girl! It nips me in at the waist, is super comfy and looks so put-together with minimal effort. When paired with the coat and tights it really looks beautiful. This whole outfit is such a dream!

I paired this outfit with some black chelsea boots from Primark to give it an edgier feel.
