I thought I looked the part in my smart blazer for an important work meeting but was mortified when I saw myself after
SHE thought she looked the part as she donned a smart blazer for an important meeting at work.
But when Sarah looked in the mirror after the meeting, she was left mortified by her accidental style error.
She to recall the embarrassing situation, as she explained that she hadn't had chance to check herself out in the mirror before the event.
"I hadn't looked in the mirror beforehand because car mirrors hurt my feelings," she sighed.
But when she got home from the meeting, which she thought went "really well", she looked in the mirror and was left aghast at what she saw.
She then zoomed the camera out to show what she was talking about - a section of her hair was sticking vertically up from her head.

Hairstyles that are kind to your locks
- Loose Braids: Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage.
- Low Ponytail: A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging.
- Messy Bun: A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties.
- Soft Waves: Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools.
- Half-Up, Half-Down: This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp.
- Headbands and Scarves: Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable.
- Loose Plaits for Sleeping: Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight.

While others admitted they hadn't prepared themselves for the shocking revelation of Sarah's mishap.
"I thought maybe you put two different earrings on," one laughed.
