Need You Now
It's crazy how "demi dungarees" is the same thing as "short overalls" in the same language.
In either case, demi or short, I've had my eye on this piece for a couple of weeks now. I've imagined it with everything from eaten-away t-shirts to prim and proper button-downs, but the top that sticks out most is always the sleeveless button-down. With nude heels, naturally. I can't get the image out of my head, so I decided to put together an entire look here. Where would I wear this? Saturday evening to grab some cocktails and bites. My mind is already there...

Lazy
Morris Terry sweatshirt (c/o)
Cotton On skirt (old, but would get this one now)
sandals from db shoes
Elizabeth and James sunglasses
Linea Pelle purse (c/o)
Lightweight sweatshirts are what I'm all about these days and this MT one hits the spot every time.

Dry Shampoo: A Committed Relationship
My current arsenal: Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo & Joico Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo
My love of dry shampoo is a fairly new one, but I can already tell it will be a long and committed one. I first started using a version of this aerosol-turned-powder after visiting Hair Team for a trim. Dalia, the owner and my stylist, advised that I try dry shampoo to limit my weekly hair washes and save my hair from the over-drying results of regular shampoo (she also recommended I use baby shampoo for my fine hair, but I haven't made that leap yet. Expect a rave review on that in a couple of months). Without much hesitation, I took her recommendation to heart and purchased my very first can of Pssst. Get ready for the kindest words I've ever connected to a class of beauty products.
As I mentioned, I have fine hair which is prone to showing oiliness quickly. Dry shampoo solves two of my problems: it gives my hair volume without weighing it down by the end of the day and it absorbs any oil instantly. What's even cooler is that I go about four days without washing my hair and it's not gross, as I'm sure you're imagining and judging. At first, I was skeptical that dry shampoo would help me reduce the number of washes I gave my hair each week. But as time went on, I found myself less in need of a regular shampoo.
I could go on and on about my love of dry shampoo, but I won't bore you with the public displays of affection. Instead, I'll just let you explore the joys of the literal dry clean yourself.
