Zappos Couture Girls
Wow, it’s a good thing the Couture Girls don’t work at my office! I’d be in trouble…

Blowout problem solved
…by chopping off my hair!
Maybe this is cheating, but I figured out a solution to my lack of blowout ability. I got my hair cut! I told the stylist I wanted to go a bit shorter, but that I didn’t want anything that would require me to do anything with my hair. (She winced when I explained that the most I would consider doing on a daily basis was to blow dry my hair.)
She kept the layers, which had been giving me grief when my hair was longer. I haven’t been able to master flipping them under with a blowout. With the shorter haircut, they’re *supposed* to flip out. Yay! Problem solved!
Of course, this doesn’t help those of you who are looking for blowout pointers, so I’ll keep working on that one. I also picked up a “dry shampoo” today at Sephora, which will supposedly allow me to wash my hair every other day despite my super-oily scalp. I’ll let you know how that goes…
Brown pants, black shoes
I realize I’ve avoided talking about my wardrobe on Going Girly so far. I’m mostly just overwhelmed with the scope of the situation. I’ve got loads of jeans that don’t fit right, shoes that are so worn they should be tossed, and shirts that are *almost* flattering. I promise a blog on that is on its way.
In the meantime, I’ve got a nagging question. I have two pairs of chocolate brown pants I love, one dressy, one casual. I don’t have brown shoes that really go with them, aside from sneakers, so in the past, I’ve paired them with black tops and black boots. Yet, at some point I remember hearing that I shouldn’t do this.
So, what should I do? Buy brown shoes? Buy totally different shoes? Keep on mixing the two colors?
I searched the web and found arguments on both sides. The best advice seemed to be along the lines of, “If someone’s going to criticize you for wearing black and brown together, then she has no life.”
What do you think?
My New Addiction (Hint: it’s on TV!)
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I’ve been procrastinating on blogging by watching TVLand’s She’s Got the Look. I’ve never been one for the modeling reality shows like “America’s Next Top Model,” but I am so hooked on the characters in this show. Maybe it’s that they’re women over 35, so they’re much more grounded. Maybe I’ve just gone a little too girly.
Check out the site for previews, info, and even full episodes. (I don’t have cable, so you know I’ll be logging on).
Anyone else watch this show, too?
