Granola

Today, in a conversation I was described as "granola". That is a first. My coworkers and I were discussing looks, make-up and clothes and I mentioned that it might be easier for women to dress up and look better because we have the option of using make-up. Some girls dress up and wear lots of make-up, and some are more natural, laid back and casual. Then one of my coworkers said in a very positive way, "you're very granola".

I was like, so... "What's granola?" He said "well it means you're kind of a down to earth natural type person, low maintenance and not fussy". Sure I'll take that. I don't consider myself trendy or "pretty" in the whole high maintenance way. So I looked it up on Urban Dictionary - Granola, and it translates to pretty much hippi, perhaps bohemian? Although I eat meat and I'm not completely earth friendly. I'll eat at the evil McDonalds and not recycle everything.

Lately though, I wouldn't mind having a fashion upgrade. For awhile now, my clothes need some weeding and my style needs a few touches of fabulous. So, although I take no offense to granola, perhaps a more fabulous granola is in order.

Although I'm surprised they figured me hippi/bohemian at work. We always dress a little differently at work than we would on the weekends, so the fact that I was called granola, well - cool.
