What you're seeing today is how I looked before the car ride. I'd like to think I still looked presentable when I exited the vehicle, but I know my face and head looked a little worse for wear. I wish car hair, which is worse than hat hair, looked better after four hours, but even strapped in by a seat belt, I cage fight in my sleep. Or run a marathon. Or swim under imaginary water. Who can be sure? Then, I wake up, and my husband likes to roll down the windows, which turns the car into a wind tunnel. My hair never stands a chance.
If you are new to this neck of Bloglandia, welcome. Obviously, I find my outfits worthy enough to share, but I hope you find my words so entertaining that they bring you back. Surely, my pasty legs won't magnetize you to this blog. Or maybe they will. If you're into that sort of thing.
The Look:
Dress: Isaac Mizrahi for Target (via thredUP)
Jean Jacket: Old Navy
Purse: TJ Maxx
Necklaces: Target
Shoes: Aldo (I have worn them only twice, but I'm thinking about selling them because I found another pair I reeeeeeeally love even more. These are size 8.5 and retail for $70, but I was thinking about selling for $40; buyer pays shipping. Let me know if you're interested!)

Ahh this is adorable! I love the red and blue together like this. I don't mind road trips so much, but you're right, they don't do much for my appearance either! I hope you enjoyed your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are amazing! Too bad I don't wear an 8.5...I could maybe stuff the toes with some tissue, right?!? Haha.
ReplyDeleteI guess we wouldn't be good road trip partners, since I'm like your husband. I can't stand when people drive under the speed limit in the left lane. Get out of my way! That and not using turn signals. Bah! I can't remember the last time I wasn't in sweatpants for a road trip, but then again, my last few road trips have all been 8+ hours.
ReplyDeleteHehe my hubs favorite car game to play is bumper cars too--I always need a drink by the time we reach our destination :) You look adorable though--and I am sure the time with your friends makes it all worth it!

Your husband drives like mine does. I always drive wherever we go. He likes to roll the windows down, too. I think guys don't understand what that means for those of us with more hair...my hubs shaves his head.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, always, and the shoes are cute too but now I'm curious to see the ones you like even more!
I wish I lived in a city where a 4 hour drive could get me somewhere interesting! Basically, I could get to Kansas City or Des Moines. Might as well just stay in Omaha!
ReplyDeleteOk I've been in love with those shoes since you first premiered them and would buy them in a heartbeat if we wore the same size. Now I'm super curious about the ones you like better! My boyfriend is such a calm driver, I get more nervous about other cars or large trucks than him! Oh but I feel you on the windows down thing. Guys will never understand what it's like to try and keep your done-up hair nice with the wind blowing all around it.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit screams Memorial Day weekend. Loving the bright red and bright blue.
