Four tries and 20 minutes of hanging my head sideways in front of the mirror later I had something resembling a french braid across my head. A bit lumpy, far from pinterest-worthy, but I was more than ready to deem it a success and head out the door without any hair hiding my bare shoulders in my new off the shoulder tee I was debuting.

You did a much better job than I could do, it looks great! Love those shorts too!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks gorgeous! No one notices the lumps but you, trust me - I know this because I've attempted the same hair style myself, with far less success (because somehow, despite the fact that I have so much hair, braids at the front of my head always turn out tiny,) and still somehow gotten compliments. Plus, summer is just too hot to wear your hair down. I made the mistake of leaving home without a hair elastic yesterday and hated every minute of it. And I didn't even have an off the shoulder top to show off!
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
You look so nice

That's basically the perfect hairstyle for that awesome top - and it came out pretty darn good (I am TERRIBLE at stuff like that, so I respect your skills).

I could have looked at the tutorial for 3 days in a row and hung my head for an hour... I would have never been able to accomplish it ! Great job Lydia!

ReplyDeleteWow! I can picture you in that top wearing a lace pencil skirt or a voluminous midi skirt. I love the simplicity and elegance of the top.

I wish my hair was long enough for a braid like this... I haven't been styling it at all except for a few pins to keep it from being extra puffy. Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteYour braid looks awesome! I always end up putting my hair up in summer, best way to beat the heat!

Florals + off-the-shoulder is a definite win. And I think you nailed the braid- so pretty!

I love the braid! One of my goals this month is to try more things with my hair--I pretty much wear it the same couple of ways all the time. I need to try some braiding, but I get frustrated every time I try!
ReplyDeleteI suck at braiding and hair skills in general - major props because yours looks lovely! Cute bag, too!
