What to Wear to a Hair Appointment

When I decided to do two fashion posts a week instead of one I worried this would happen:  I wouldn't have two blog-worthy outfits a week to share.  As a full time homemaker, I don't go out much.  I leave my home on average twice a week:  once to go to church, and once to go shopping.  This past week I had more excitement in my life as I had my son's graduation to attend.  I had a cute outfit planned for that event, but the weather took me by surprise and I ended up wearing a scarf and sweater all day; which kind of ruined the look of the outfit.  If you missed my son's graduation post and that outfit, just scroll down. 

 I did however have a hair appointment last week, so I was forced to get dressed in 'real clothes' and leave my house.  I get my hair colored and cut every six weeks.  I have had the same hairdresser for seventeen years.  My hair appointment is probably my biggest social event of the month.  I enjoy sitting in Brenda's cute shop and catching up on all the town's gossip.  You see, when you are a small town hair dresser, you hear EVERYTHING!  In fact, if my husband and I are ever wondering about something that happened in town, we don't check the newspaper,  I just say 'I don't know, I'll ask Brenda next time I see her.'.  She always knows everything thats going on in town. :)

Funny as it may sound, I actually struggle with what to wear every time I get ready for a hair appointment.  I don't want to wear anything nice as it might get damaged by hair dyes or covered in hair clippings.  But since I never know who I might run into I don't want to look like a total slob either. And then I think, "Why bother looking nice at all?  Your just running into town and coming straight home.".  So I usually go for a happy medium, like this outfit:

 It was actually a fairly warm spring day, so I chose comfy cobalt blue cotton cargo pants from Express (old), a sheer, oversized white tee (also from Express and old) with a white tank underneath, and some minty loafers from Roxy (old).  I wore old clothing that looked cute, but if it got ruined it wouldn't be the end of the world.  And I dressed very comfortable for sitting in a chair for a few hours.

My highlights were still good, so all Brenda did was touch up my roots and give me a fresh cut and style.

 The best way to dress up a casual outfit is by accessorizing.  I added a minty necklace from Francesca's  (old) that matched my shoes.

 I'm getting a little better at my downward selfies.  I really should invest in a tripod so I won't have to take selfies anymore, but,  I always struggle spending money on anything that isn't clothing related. :)

So what about you?  What would you wear to a hair appointment?  Or do you not even think about it, and just go?  I'd love to hear from you!

Have a great day!  Amy
