the hair-hex

Thank you all for your kind words yesterday! You guys are the best! If I could, I've give you all a big ol' hug for being so kind. True story! I typically handle stress pretty well, but things have just been getting to me lately. I'll pull through, though. After all, there's not much else I can do, right?

Also, check out Gigi's interview with me on Gigi's Gone Shopping, which is one of my daily reads because she does an amazing amount of clothing reviews! Thanks for the fun opportunity, Gigi!

Today is one of those days. An Uncooperative-Hair-Just-Does-Whatever-the-Heck-it-Wants-and-Everything-it-Does-Looks-Terrible kind of day. You know how you hear about some people having naturally wavy hair? Or naturally curly hair? I have what I call naturally obnoxious hair. It's partly wavy, partly curly ringlets, party straight, and all-together disastrous. Seriously. It's like I have 5 different wigs stapled to my head. That's why most mornings I attack my hair with a flat iron. But some mornings, my hair just can't be coerced into straight-ness. And this was one of those mornings. Sigh. I don't even know why I have hair like this when my family is blessed with pin-straight, silky raven-black locks. Clearly, I've been hair-hexed.

I normally would put up my locks at this point, but it's at an awkward length right now where it will not stay up with no less than the entire contents of a jumbo-sized bobby pin pack.

Being a mere 5'2" and with legs stumpier than an Ent to boot, most shorts look ridiculous on me. But that won't stop me from wearing them! I got these GAP ones a few weekends ago and I love how they're not scandalously short, but also not "might as well be wearing bermuda shorts" long. A happy medium, I'd say!
