I don’t know what part of the country (or world) you all live in, but here in Indiana, it has been a BRUTAL summer. So many days with temperatures in the 90s I’ve now lost count. So hot that chickens somewhere have gotta be laying hard-boiled eggs. And so humid you could come back from being outside and wring the perspiration out of your tanktop.
All this to say I’ve cared less this summer about spending time primping in front of the mirror then perhaps any other summer of my adulthood. Which leads me to this month’s self-portrait—my attempt to pay homage to the classic bun. A hairstyle I could now conjure up in my sleep. Simple, easy and the tamer of all limp, unruly tresses that refuse to make friends with Mother Nature this time of year.
I know someday when this photo should surface again, the first thing I’ll think to myself is “It must have been August. And oh Lordy was it a hot one.”
