After yesterday's debacle I didn't have very high hopes for today from the get-go. Maddie and I had NO plans today, so I decided to skip the wash and just do a rinse instead. Also, because the ends of my hair felt so dry, I put a tiny bit of conditioner in.
Although my hair felt a bit better (still greasy but not so dirty) it looked derranged. I decided that the only thing to do would be raid Maddie's hair band basket and grab some accessories. I opted for two ponytails with a zig zag part down the middle. I kept the 'tails' up high and slightly forward. I looked like an insane mouseketeer - DO OVER! I tried a headband but looked scary. I finally settled for slicked back in a double banded ponytail. Not terrible, but I kind of looked like somebody who had just given up on life or spent a week in the hospital. I decided to overcompensate with makeup and went with very smoky eyes and dark red lips. Now, not only could nobody think I didn't care about my appearence, but might actually mistake me for one of the girls in the Addicted to Love video!
A fantastic red silk scarf, swingy black mid length trench coat, jeans and killer earrings later, I decided to brave the real world with Maddie. We went bowling. I think this was a bit of a strategic move on my part because I was running on the assumption that many people at the bowling alley wouldn't be in full makeup with a bold wardrobe choice. I was pretty much on the mark - although I was secretly coveting every woman's hair there. The good news is I didn't get stared at with looks of distain or pity. I gave today a 4.5 out of 10.
Tomorrow I may cave - I am meeting up with a friend of mind so our daughters can play at Rand Farm Park. This friend is Ukranian and VERY stylish - I have never seen her look anything less than amazing. She may not want to hang out with me anymore if I can't get my hair to pass muster and I really enjoy her company.
