Outfit of the Day - August 19th (AKA My Hair Is Back In Its Box Braids State and I’m Loving It) 

First things first, I’d just like to point out that I had box braids way before Beyonce got them in! I love Beyonce, I love box braids, don’t go telling me that the only reason I got box braids was because Beyonce got them though because that’s not true and you know it :) With that being said, I’m glad I came back to this hairstyle. The last time I got them, I was a little apprehensive about the length, so they went just a little bit past my back. This time, I had zero reservations (although I probably should have kept length in mind since it’s going to be hot and humid) and got them done all the way to my waist : ) 

I went from a short afro that barely reached my neck, to thick heavy waist length braids.

Oh the magic of black hair! I love it. You can see there’s a slight tint of purple in the braids (I like purple) and there’s also gold and reddish strands, but nothing to garish or tacky! You can really only tell when I’m standing in the sun and even then it’s definitely not in your face.

Most of my clothes are packed and ready to go : ) I only have this dress, these shoes, and the outfit I’m wearing on the plane ride. WhooooEEEE!
