Wouldn't it be nice...if convertibles weren't so windy!

Yet another moment where I state the blindingly obvious in my blog post title but this has been sparked by a night out last night. It's been quite nice weather in the UK (a little bit sporadic but we, as the British, can cope with that) and so my boyfriend, who has a rather nice convertible car, has had the roof down as we've been driving around. This has been fine with me as I mostly wear my hair up so hasn't been affecting 'the do' at all. However on Saturday night we were going out for dinner with my family so I got ready as normal and did my hair. I mean properly did my hair. I curled it to perfection.

What a waste of time that was! I can normally hold my hair in place to a certain extent when the roof is down and control it, but as it was windy already that evening and then we were creating more wind as we were driving; it was beyond saving. It was then that my boyfriend turned to me and said these words: "It's alright babe, it looks rustic!" Now my man doesn't normally get it wrong, but my god he got it wrong then! "RUSTIC!? What do you mean RUSTIC!?" Thankfully we then descended into raucous laughter but I still don't think I'm going to let that one go for a while. He basically told me I looked ok all wind-blown and interesting because I looked countryside-ish. Or like delicious bread. Not his finest moment in terms of compliments. Hilarious. But not his finest moment. Bless.

I do love his car and it's wonderful to drive around in but a lesson has been learnt. I can cope if we're just driving with the roof down, but if it's also windy already then that is a combination beyond help for my hair. Rather obvious but it took being called rustic for me to see that one!

Bye for now :)
