protective hair styles

Happy Tuesday my loves! It’s been a while since I have done a What I Wore post, so I know this is long over due. It was a pretty nice day on Sunday and I was in the mood to wear a dress to church. As I was looking through my closet I noticed a dress that my brother bought for me when he was in Spain last year. I never wore the dress because I didn’t get it until December…smh…and it was just too cold.

The dress is a simple and very comfortable. It is a peach tank dress with a mint green belt. I paired it with and Olivia & Joy Handbag and my favorite pumps of the moment (Prabal Gurung for Target). I put on a lace cardigan because it can get really chilly at church.

As you can see I also switched up the hair do for the summer. I’ve been doing a lot of protective styling lately and this is just the latest installment lol. I chose box braids because they are easy to maintain. I didn’t want to keep my weave because it is just too hot. I wanted my braids to be a shorter length, but the woman who did my hair said it wouldn’t work because of my natural hair length, so I had to go long.

So here’s one final look

Stay tuned for more of What I Wore.

So Saturday I debuted my “new look.” Someone at work asked me if I was going through a midlife crisis because my hair has changed three times in three weeks. I thought that was pretty funny. I simply stated I haven’t found the right look as of yet so I am just experimenting. In last week’s What I Wore post I had curly hair, today I have bone straight hair with a blunt bang. I like this look a lot. I am going to stick with it until the summer time.

Last year I cut my hair in an asymmetrical style but now I want it to grow back. I don’t regret cutting it at all. I loved the hairstyle at the time, but now I just miss my hair from 2009. So I have started a new hair regimen and currently doing protective styling to aid with getting my hair healthier and also longer. Enough hair talk let’s get to the clothes!
