Hair Issues

I've been a bit upset and sad lately. There is some fancy Army ball coming up in February and I'll have to look nice for it. There is also that little gathering you may have heard me mention once or twice before coming up in June. And I definitely have to look nice for that (I am afraid of ruining all the pictures). I would also like to look nice day to day, if that's not asking too much (also why there's never any pictures of me up here). But I'm pretty sure I can't ever really look nice because my hair never looks nice. It always looks bad. Cute shoes and a cute outfit don't make your hair look nice. And so this has made me upset and sad that I can never look good. I considered giving up and straightening it again, but I really don't want to do that. I feel better today, but you know how it goes.

Hopefully, soon my products from Curls will arrive, and I'm hoping they help! The pictures and stories on their facebook page seem encouraging...

And if that doesn't work, I can always go with the motorcycle rider look...

Wednesday Wedding: For the Boys

A recent, brief conversation with Kyle prompted the topic for this weeks post. It went a-little a-something a-like a-this:

Me (in the kitchen): you should maybe start to think about what you want to wear for the wedding.

Kyle (quietly in the other room so I might not be able to hear): my leather jacket?

(we laugh)

Me: but it will be June, so probably not.

--End Scene--


And so, this week, Wednesday Wedding is getting a little manly.

Honestly, I'm not super picky about what he should wear (though I think I have to say "no" to tan or white suits, and I do have reasonable veto power). I just want the boys to look nice, and I'm sure they all will because they're handsome fellas. What they wear is just another something that needs to be figured out at some point, and I don't trust them to do it without my prompting and a wee bit of nagging. Kyle previously expressed (when I asked him his thoughts on flowers. there weren't many thoughts. I'm noticing a pattern here...) that he didn't really want a boutonniere, which is fine as I don't think we will be walking down any aisle with bouquets (I know! we're really going rogue on this not-so-usual-wedding aren't we). This isn't a final decision; a little something could look nice; luckily the florist is a pro and will be able to help if we make any last minute decisions. There's a lot of style and dressing tips and articles at the Art of Manliness, a site I know Kyle visits for reading up on various manly topics.

though this boutonniere would go nicely with our colors...

Things to think about:
- what colors
- what sort of suit
- tie vs bowtie
- looking nice together with the ladies
- shoes
- summer weather
- what should Kyle wear vs what should his groomsmen wear
