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 this weeks fashion friday! You nailed it with all of these outfits, especially that maxi and asymmetrical skirt and tank! I was reading the comment about the alcohol and how you can feel a difference in your body when you do drink…do you still feel a big difference when you have gluten free drinks, like wine, hard cider, blue agave tequila etc…?
yes (except i don’t drink tequila) just because of the sugar content. i just feel bloated and my joints hurt.
I’m in the same boat, I only wash my hair 1x a week normally! I usually dump baby powder in it to soak up the grease (dry shampoo doesn’t work in my opinion, and I’d rather not be spraying butane on my globe). It gives my roots a lift, and helps me get through the day.
My best friend is brunette and uses cocoa powder (cheap stuff) to soak up her grease.
You look amazing in that Maxi dress!!! Get it girl!!!
So sometimes when I have greasy hair and don’t have time to wash I use a little baby powder- which only works if you are blonde. I saw someone said they are a brunette and put cocoa powder on their scalp for the same effect. Seriously, it sounds so so so gross, but I am just curious if that girl was just crazy or if it actually works. Have you ever heard of/tried that?
oh. Ha! only now did I read the comment above.
Curious, what kind of bra do you wear with the last white tank?
Your legs are freaking AMAZING! And you always look beautiful! Thanks for sharing your outfits. I love fashion Friday’s! I think I’m going to buy the jeans…they are on sale too! Yay!

Hi, 🙂
This might seem like a weird, unrelated stalker comment but you have fantastic eyebrows! And i remember seeing on a post/picture of yours in the past saying you had naturally lighter hair, i was just wondering if you get your eyebrows tinted or they are just naturally dark? I am blonde and you can barely see mine, also i love fashion fridays, it really helps me to stay on a healthy track when i can see what great results you have.
they are lighter, i’m naturally blonde so i’ll dye them once in a while but i darken them in daily!
Dang girl, your fashion game is on point! I only wash my hair every 2-3 days. Someone told me it helps your hair maintain healthy oils so I ran with that and I ran far. Ergo, dry shampoo. I use Not Your Mother’s brand–a lot of people think it smells a bit funky but I dig it and it works wonders.
I don’t wash my hair daily either but dry shampoo is my best hair friend. I use Not Your Daughter’s brand from CVS and it does wonders. Even after a day of a good sweaty WOD, the hair feels and looks clean.
