What I Wore: Out and About
I don’t have much to say about this. A while back I decided to try a version of capsule dressing, and now I feel like I have to try to make the most out of the pieces I picked for spring. Which sometimes results in outfits that feel … a little half baked.
Can we talk about my hair for a minute? On the plus side, it’s growing. Like, bona fide, finally-getting-past-the-shoulders growing. Yay! On the down side, I think I’m liking it better straightened these days – which is ironic considering that I paid cold, hard cash to get a perm not that long ago. But! I think the underlying perm does end up giving me a volume boost so, even when straightened, my hair actually looks better than it would if it was not permed. Does that make any sense? Or does it sound like a lame attempt at justification? A little bit of A, a little bit of B.
Lovely! But then I have the same top from Target! In a larger size…
It’s a great top! I liked the print, but I love that it’s cotton best of all. It’s too bad a lot of the other pieces in the collab were poly …
The only way I get volume in my hair is if I wash it, don’t use conditioner except on the ends and let it air dry in a twisted ballet chignon on top of my head.
I also have super long hair now which I am sure the baby will love to grab once he gets older… I have to go in for a haircut though. Haven’t gotten it cut since 2012.. I feel like I should 😛
I’m growing out my hair, so I haven’t had a haircut in about a year. I think that’s fine if you don’t have a lot of damage. Knock on wood, but since I stopped colouring my hair, it’s pretty indestructible. I also only wash it once, or at most twice, a week. I know that’s gross to some, but I find it really helps.
P.s. Yep, babies loooove long hair. To pull, to chew, you name it 😉
My sister actually does that with her hair. She gets it permed and then straightens it… Albeit not every day. She says the same thing (she has thicker hair than I do though) that it gives it a bit more oomph.
Ps. I know you’re unsure, but I like florals and chambray… Maybe it’s the Influence of working at Anthro (we have had chambray in our store in multiple garments for at least 1.5 years now)
And I hate that it makes me sound trendy (or rather that I have hopped on a band wagon) but I also like hunter boots… And wellies.
Oh, don’t get me wrong – I love florals and chambray (florals and anything really); I’m just not wild about this particular iteration. Which is on me, really.
I like the look of Hunters (not sure if they’re still trendy or what) but I think the quality is not all that it used to be. Like, they’re super reliable … 75% of the time. And then once in a while, I get wet socks.
P.S. I would be in a world of trouble if I worked at Anthro 😉
