Hello my fellow petite readers! I am so sorry it has been a while since I've blogged. Since my last blog post, I went on a family cruise vacation which meant no internet access and no cell access. I am currently in Washington, D.C. spending time with friends and family. 

For anyone also on the east coast right now, you know how hot and humid it has been! There have even been heat warnings. In the humidity, my hair becomes unruly even though it is straight. My layers go all over the place and at the end of the day the strands resemble a messy mop which isn't exactly sexy. The easiest way for me to solve this is a fish tail braid. I made mine really loose and chunky so some of the layers fall out which adds to the effortless, imperfect look. This is especially great when I'm walking my dog and have plans immediately after. 

I wore a simple blue cotton dress that I bought from Urban Outfitters for a cheap price because one of the straps was broken. A little quick nip tuck with my thread and needle helped save the outfit. I then paired it with a jean jacket and some wedged ankle boots I got from Target for $8 (on sale).  These wedges give me height and are super easy to walk in so I don't feel like I need to wear sneakers when I go to the park and then change shoes when I meet up with my friends.
