Well that was Awkward.

Blazer & Blouse: Zara

Pants: American Eagle

Pumps: Steve Madden

Purse: Spotted Moth

Necklace: Vintage

I have come to the conclusion I really handle stress horribly! I look haggard right now! (and for the record, these pictures are a couple days old so take any haggardness that's in these pics and multiply it by a gazillion).

I'm really going to have to focus on positives for the next week because it's going to be a hectic and super stressful one and at the rate I'm going I'm going to have a heart attack. Or I'm going to eat my body weight in chocolate. Whichever.

I've been skipping yoga lately because I feel like I don't have time to go, but I decided today that if I didn't go relax in my yoga class I wouldn't make it through next week. Not only was the class amazingly relaxing but I also witnessed the most perfectly awkward moment as I was leaving class.

Let me paint the scene for you. I'm getting my purse etc out of my locker after yoga and two girls who were waiting for the next class had the following conversation.

Girl 1: Hey! How are you?

Girl 2: Heeey! Yah, I thought I recognized you! How've you been?

(note: The only reason I even saw this transpire is because I was walking towards the first girl when she said hey, and I thought she was talking to me and almost said hi back before I realized she was talking to a girl behind me. Phew, embarrassing crisis averted! (for me... not girl 2))

Girl 1: I'm good! Busy with work!

Girl 2: That's good.... you work at that restaurant... with Sara right?

Girl 1: Uhm no, I work at a dental office.

Girl 2: Yah that's right... and... you've been dating... someone... for quite a while now. How's he doing?

Girl 1: Noooo I've been single for over a year.

Girl 2: Oh yah sorry... Do you still see Sara a lot?

Girl 1: Who?

Then Girl 1 turns and walks into the Yoga class where both girls got to awkwardly downward dog together.

So what did we learn? If someone recognizes you but you don't recognize them back, do not start spewing out random questions at the person as if they are fact! Just don't do it!

I'm just so full of helpful information. Between this and my lazy tip of the day on Monday... what would you do without me? ;)

What did you do today?

I met Isabel.

She's a teeny tiny ball of cute. Her mommy is one of my best friends and I can't wait to spoil this little sleeping angel with adorable dresses.

Goldilocks

Blazer & Brooch: The Vintage Valley

Tank: Gap

Jeans: True Value Vintage

Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Purse: Spotted Moth

Here is my lazy tip of the day. Want to make a jeans and tank combo look special without putting any effort into it? Throw on some gold. In this case I chose a vintage black and gold blazer (and my gold bow brooch). Easy peasy and it looks like I tried when I really didn't! How amazing is that? You are welcome.

Now, for the real reason for the Goldilocks title of my post. While I am a natural blonde, I do get highlights (I'm only a partial fraud). At this point, as you can see in these photos, I have a good 2 inches of roots going on. They drive me CRAAAZZYYY. Seriously bonkers. Normally at this point (or a month ago) I would have raced to the salon and thrown some bleach on those roots but I'm kind of getting tired of paying sooo much mooooney on my hair. I don't even want to think of how much money I've spent over the years on highlights. eek.

At the rate my hair grows it'll take 15 years to grow my hair out so I don't know if I'll have the patience... AND I legitimately have no idea what colour it will turn out to be. I'm assuming dirty blonde? That's the colour of these roots at least. I'm going to attempt a grow out and if it drives me crazy enough I'll either add a couple highlights (dear hair dresser, how many highlights can you give me for $20?) or I'll dye it brown.

Okay phew, I feel better now that I've talked about this. You may call rambling on about blonde highlights shallow but I call it necessary. Unless you've paid a salon bill for a head full of bleach highlight foils you don't understand the financial investment I'm talking about here ;)

My other tip of the day? Vintage shopping with your fashionable cousin is the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning. Especially when she finds you the perfect item to buy! If you follow me on twitter you might know about my purchase on Saturday, but if not... well that's your fault for not following me on twitter and  now you'll NEVER* know what I bought!!

(*when I say never, I mean you'll know as soon as I post pictures... which will be soon ;))
