With the season change coming and all the fall magazines coming to my door with the "what is in and what is out" and the "Glamour Do's and Dont's", I start to think about my own daily style. By noon I have usually worked out myself and had 2 or 3 other workouts. Some days I actually do a 60 second rinse off shower between workouts and put on new Nike shorts, top and a different color Sweaty Band. Notice I said "some" days. Most days I just wash my face, slop on new deodorant and smell like a combination of sweat and bug spray if we have been working out outdoors.
In my mind, I think this is my job and it is how I am supposed to look. But then I hop in the car and go to Krogers, Target, etc... (exciting life!) without thinking twice about changing clothes. Surely the sunglasses I just put on pulled it all together and I look perfectly fine.
So then the kids come home from school and I look no different (probably worse) than when they left! A real shower may not happen until after dinner and then is it really necessary to wash your hair? Don't be saying "ew...gross" right now. I know you all have been there!
Don't get me wrong...I LOVE my skinny jeans, great tops, and red high heels as much as anyone but that is not happening most days. My fall style would be described "a hot mess" and believe it or not I am OK with that.
So my state of the union is "It is OK to be a HOT MESS"!
Yesterday I drove around with the windows down to try and dry my sweaty hair before going into Kroger. I mean, once the sweat dries and if your hair is OK who's to know? I just try to stay upwind of myself.
