That kind of stuff didn't and doesn't come to me naturally. I have to make a conscious effort to stay on top of girl things because my natural entropy leads to over-sized men's sweaters and pants from the local thrift store.
That being said, I'm having a trouble with a couple of current trends. Because I don't have anyone to turn to with girl questions I'm turning this over to the internet.
1. Dry Shampoo. Now, I can get behind the dry shampoo trend. Going a couple of days between stylings? Great idea. What kills me is that yesterday while I was reading a review the woman criticized a dry shampoo for not letting her go more than a week between washings. A week? I don't know if I should be amazed or horrified. Are average people really doing that?
2. Skinny Jeans. Once again, I understand this trend. Cute skinny jeans with a bulky sweater, or a scarf or a jacket. Love it. I am now into my third pair of skinny jeans (one was a maternity pair so I'm not sure that they even count) and what I do not understand is how on earth do you keep them up? Every time I wear them I spend the whole day pulling them up. How do you ladies keep those jeans from giving you a plumber's crack every other second?
I doubt I'm average, but I'll go as long between washings as I can get. I average about a week, but will go longer if I don't go swimming. My hair is visibly oily on about the 4th or 5th day, but normalizes again after that. Yes, I've been doing this a long time, since college (1996ish). I started one day at a time, like everything else. :) My hair adjusted just fine. I use dry shampoo if I need to go somewhere on GrossDay. But the lady criticizer is right, dry shampoo only works once. It actually just extends your GrossDay to the next day instead.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried skinny jeans yet. Kinda scared. :s
You need to buy a good dry shampoo. I used to have to shampoo everyday. Now I can go three to four days using the dry shampoo just once. I really love Tigi Rock Aholic brand. It's expensive but it saves me time and money and sanity.
ReplyDeleteI have skinny jeans but they're all a bit higher than the butt crack :) try the Gap.
