Happy Thursday friends! I've rescheduled this post three times now so I'm just going to go ahead and post it! And since I spent 4 hours, yes you read that correctly 4 HOURS, at the salon last night I didn't have time to write anything else. You'd think after spending 4 hours at a salon you'd be doing a drastic change, right? Nope. I made the mistake of letting the stylist do whatever she wanted because I thought she'd have fun with it. No joke, 4 hours and $250 later I came out looking almost exactly like I did when I went in. I have maybe 5-6 very subtle highlights and no cut. At least she covered my grays at the top though! But yeah, to say that was the worst salon experience ever would be an understatement. I'm not one to complain so I just left after she was done but my hair desperately needs to be trimmed and I can't bring myself to spend another ridiculous amount somewhere else to get it done. Not to mention I'd really like to have my hair actual balayage instead of just a few barely lighter streaks. And she was doing a very time consuming thing to another person's hair while doing mine so I literally sat there with my hair wet, no product, no setting time, nada for 45 mins before she came back to check on me. So here's my PSA - NEVER tell a stylist to just do what she wants because she will do as little as possible and then charge you like she did a complete makeover.
Ok now on to the post... I'm having serious withdrawals of the beach and island life. I know I live close enough to the beach but I don't get there very often so I took full advantage of being barefoot on the beach as much as I could while we were in Islamorada. Hence why I have no shoes on in this post! There's something calming about feeling the sand beneath your feet, even if the sand is pretty packed down like it was at our beach. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels that way!
I wore this outfit out to dinner our last night out in Islamorada and it was the perfect casual outfit for dinner on the beach watching the sunset. Even though the sleeves are a bit longer on this shirt it's actually a super lightweight material and is very breathable so I never felt overly hot even before the sun went down. I love that the pattern in the fabric does a pretty good job of hiding wrinkles since I didn't have an iron with me and it had been shoved in my weekend bag for 3 days before I wore it. I paired it with a pair of simple destroyed denim shorts and my favorite tassel necklace I got last year and still wear on repeat. Everything else I kept pretty simple. In case you're wondering, yes I did wear shoes to go out to eat but I'm not going to lie, since we were on the beach I did end up taking them off and kept my toes nice and sandy!
