Sarah's Real Life

I always pick out my outfits the night before so I don’t have to take time in the morning when I’m not fully awake yet. On Monday night I picked something out and I knew I probably wouldn’t like it once I put it on Tuesday morning. I was right (as I am about most things). So I put this together from scratch in the morning and it actually didn’t take me too much effort, even pre-coffee.

“OK, Sarah, so you picked out clothes in the morning. Whoop-dee-doo.” But wait, it gets crazier. I wash my hair every other day, and I only wear it down if it’s freshly washed. But get this: I decided to wear my hair down even though I hadn’t washed it since the day before. I know. The Earth has flipped on its axis apparently. For someone so dedicated to her pre-bedtime and morning rituals, this was the equivalent of a pastor skipping church and going to a casino. Or Regina George joining the Mathletes. Pure madness.

Do you guys have these kinds of everyday habits that feel so strange when you break them? Or am I the only weirdo?

What exactly is a “natural blond”? If it’s someone who had blond hair from birth to age 5, then I’m a natural blond. It’s just that at age 20coughcough, I need a little help correcting the mistakes that time has made with my body (hair color is the least of those mistakes but it’s the easiest to fix). I used to be really good about getting my highlights touched up every 6-8 weeks, but it’s been more than 3 whole months now. I’ve been telling myself that “ombre” hair is a thing now and I look totally fine and even hip, but looking at these photos, I’m starting to think I’m just fooling myself. People are going to think my reputable employer doesn’t pay their attorneys or that they work them so hard they don’t have time to get their hair done. I swear that’s not true. I’m just lazy. If you don’t see my hair returned to its “natural” state within the next 2 weeks, PLEASE call me out on it. Seriously.

My hope is that you were so distracted by my cute new wedges that you didn’t notice my roots. If that’s the case, forget everything I just said.
