Frightening things happened this weekend.  Frightening I tell ya.

Friday I got a haircut.  I booked online to save £4, yes FOUR whole pounds.  This resulted in there being no record of my appointment – wonderful.  No, I can’t come back tomorrow… I have a thing TONIGHT.  So the girl at reception says she can cut but someone else will dry.  Ironically there was no need for the sub drier because she was all done with the cut in about 4 minutes 26 seconds (that’s the kind of time an athlete should be proud of, not a hairdresser).  It was becoming unclear as to whether she was in fact just the receptionist.  There were no lattes on offer, not even a water… I was parched and unhappy.  I like a bit of pampering with my overpriced hair-cut, so what?  It was dried in a painful and unapologetic manner into something far from beautiful and then when she asked if I liked it what did I say?  I love it.  Of course.  O f   c o u r s e.  Then I was charged the regular price anyway.  At least it was all over quick.

I was home with plenty of time to restyle before my thing that evening and only had a couple of minutes spare to contemplate the horror I had been victim too.  I believe when people use the hashtag ‘MiddleClassProblems’ this is what they are talking about.

So, nothing about today’s look but I think that explains itself really!

P.S.  Also this weekend I broke my laptop cable (it lasts for a full 6 seconds without it’s power cable).  I bought a new one which turned out to be broken also.  It rained… both days.  I used my art degree to draw a cartoon lobster – pretty much living the dream.

      there’s something about a denim jacket that is so classic isn’t there? love the americana feeling I get just from wearing one!

      ha ha – think I made out it to be worse than it was – there was plenty of good too but that just wasn’t as funny!x

    It is sad and I am sorry you had to go through that.. 4 quid for the latte and electricity and that few steps to the pantry for a glass of water. Here is even more appalling sometimes but I adjusted after a few years :)

      ooh, a complement indeed!

  10. eleni Posted 18 Jun at 11:11 pm

    such a classic situation I found myself more than once and that of course has resulted in me hating salons and actually keeping my hair in my customary bun!

    Love your look and your hair nevertheless! Absolutely beautiful as always!

    Kiss!

    • Wendy Posted 18 Jun at 11:27 pm

      every time I feel brave, I regret it! Buns all the way…

  11. Channing in The City Posted 18 Jun at 11:41 pm

    I HATE paying for a haircut that I’m not happy with. Worse feeling ever :( But your outfit looks really nice! I hope today is better for you :)

    • Wendy Posted 19 Jun at 1:03 am

      It was actually a great weekend, just got off to a stressful start but like I said, I know it’s not a REAL problem ;) I will get over it. Maybe with counselling… ha!

    Well, what a bad experience, I mean, people post anything to get clients and then do stuff like this. Anyhow, you look great, love the booties! Kisses
