I don’t know if you’ve already guessed this about me, but I’m one of those annoying overachievers. A bachelor’s degree wasn’t enough; I had to go to law school. And just doing the required classes in law school wasn’t enough; I had to join a law review too.

But this obnoxious habit doesn’t just apply to school. Apparently I’m an overachieving dresser too. Even when I try to underachieve, I can’t. Like the other day I was getting ready for work and I was feeling really lazy. I put on these yellow jeans and a t-shirt, and I put my un-brushed wet hair in a top knot. I was about to step into a pair of comfy flats, and then I stopped myself.

I don’t want to go to work with wet hair. I’ll dry it. In fact, maybe I’ll even curl it. Just for fun. And maybe this t-shirt is a little too casual for the office. I’ll wear something with a little embellishment. And maybe instead of flats, I’ll wear…the biggest freaking shoes I have. To match the big hair. Wait…What just happened?

And that is the story of how I failed at underachieving.

I don’t know about you guys, but I had a pretty fun weekend. It ended with a trip to the suburbs to see my other half perform in a community theater cabaret. It’s quite convenient being married to a talented person. I’m always entertained.

Besides the overall casual theater-going chicness of this outfit, I’d like to draw your attention to the cute little blue bands in my hair and on my wrist. They came to me via 6 Degrees Hair Ties! Ever since I threw away my last scrunchie, I’ve been looking for something cute to put around my ponytails. OK, to be honest I haven’t thought much about it, but now that I have these babies I love them!

I was a little worried that the elastic wouldn’t be strong enough to hold my hair, but I was pleasantly surprised. My hair is very thick, so if I do a high ponytail I might have to use a regular ponytail elastic underneath to be totally secure, but for this low side pony I didn’t need anything extra.

And if you’re the type to keep a hair tie on your wrist, these are way cuter than plain old hair-colored bands. Check out the 6 Degrees website to see all the colors and patterns. Besides the pack I got, I’m a big fan of the chevron print! You can get 10% off your order with the code SARAH10.
