Let me explain something. Sometimes I don’t want to wash my hair. Meaning 96% of the time. I don’t wash it very often since I spend a lot of my time in the gym. No point in washing my hair so I can workout, then work from home in my pajamas and smell like steak, then just workout the next morning. Get my point? So once I got to California, I washed my hair once and that was it. But my hair gets disgusting after one day, so I wore a hat the entire time until my last night. The last night I used as much hair spray as possible to keep the hair from looking less greasy. It didn’t work.
Moving on.
The first night in San Diego, I grabbed some dinner solo on a cute little patio. Usually I would only wear workout clothes when heading to dinner by myself, but I REALLY needed to wash my hair, so I wore real people clothes. Boyfriend jeans were a must. And I am obsessed with this solar necklace from Miranda Frye! If you’re into this necklace, be sure to check my instagram later today, I’ll be giving away one!!

Second day in San Diego meant wearing the same hat, duh, and comfy clothes and shoes since I would be outside running around and being sweaty. Best shorts ever to wear all day.

The third day in San Diego meant shopping, eating and more eating. So I started the first part of the day in comfy shoes, yet again, my favorite maxi dress, and my hat. Duh. This dress hugs the curves perfectly without saying “Oh hey cellulite!” It’s wonderful.

Last outfit was my night-out outfit for San Diego. No way in hell was I wearing a short skirt and wedges all day, so I used this outfit only for dinner and drinks only. It’s really only comfortable for a max of 4 hours, let’s be real.

Love love love your outfits!! As usual, they are super cute :)!
Love fashion Fridays! Wondering if you’d be willing to add a note or two about your make up – brands and colors, etc. Your make up always looks so natural and done without being overdone, I’d love to know what you use.
oh man, I will try! i’m not very good with makeup, but hayley from primalpalate.com who used to be a professional make up artist and i will soon be doing some videos of her applying makeup and talking all about it! i’ll keep you updated with it! i do use bare minerals liquid foundation and love it!
You look unbelievable in that maxi dress!
You look so thin!!! How do you cook and bake like you do and stay so thin??
I LOVE boyfriend jeans. I found a awesome pair at GAP. And amen to not washing your hair. HA! Since I’m always working out and training clients, my hair is literally in a ponytail 95% of the time. I also tell myself that not washing my hair often has made it healthier and grow faster. 😉
Oh my gosh – yes! I hate washing my hair! I swear I sometimes don’t even see the point! But mine gets super frizzy (yuck) which sucks but if I curling iron all of the frizz out, I can get several days out of it which I love. I also love that donut-looking bun-maker thingy. That thing saves me even when my hair is frizzy and I’m to lazy to curl it. Love all your hats, though – all your outfits, really. My favorite might be the going out ensemble, with that asymmetrical skirt, but I can see how you wouldn’t want to wear that one all day. Thanks for always sharing these (even when people are total d-bags about it)… always great for ideas & affordable finds!
Wow you rocked that maxi dress! Loved it. My problem area is my abs (I’m envious of yours!)….no matter how many days of boot camp, lifting, running, etc that I do that area never looks fit. However once I start following a stricter paleo diet…boom, things start looking better. It’s the wine part that I have the most trouble cutting down on though.
I agree with the makeup tips. You look pretty but not made up…that’s a skill!
Lastly made your chocolate zucchini loaf this week….delish! (And now gone)
alcohol is so many people’s issues. pete from petespaleo.com and i had that conversation last week. if the people from my gym cut out drinking all together, their bodies would completely change, but they don’t want to cut that out. i know that when i drink on vacations, i can see and feel the difference in my body. i would try to cut the alcohol out and see how your body changes! it’s so worth it!
I love your style. I feel like it’s something I could pull off even with being a mom…not saying you dress like a mom! Just saying that I still feel young and free haha!! But seriously, I work out like crazy, follow a Paleo diet, WOD, lift, spin, run–where are my abs??!!! It’s the one part of my body that definitely gives me the most frustration!! Maybe I need to cut back on the cardio…
I’m in love with that skirt!! Too bad it’s no longer available 🙁
oh no! it was yesterday!
I will keep checking 🙂
About the not washed / greasy hair issue – try dry shampoo. I prefer “Clean Freak” by Not Your Mother’s. It has a light scent and it really does help absorb the grease so you get another day of clean looking hair.
This may be weird, but I feel like I want to cut out a picture of your legs and hang it on my “Goal” board. Sorry if that’s creepy.
I hope not, because I cut out the pic of Julie in the maxi dress and put in in my goal book! LOL
Good! If we are creepers at least we aren’t alone!
hats are the best way to go when you have dirty hair! i do that all the time, haha. and i love that asymmetrical skirt!
