Everyday Bombshell- Easy, Twisty Hairstyle

topics: plus size fashion, easy up-do

Have you guys seen this dress yet?  I'm not sure if you have...(yes, I could scroll back through my blog page, but that seems like a lot of effort at the moment).



I bought it from Avenue at the beginning of the summer, then it languished in my closet unworn for several weeks.  The bodice area gaped, big time, and it took me a while to sew it together.  It's since become one of my favorite sundresses to throw on and go.


Also, as promised in the title- an easy twisty hairstyle.  I saw someone in my apartment building style her hair this way and thought it looked incredibly cute.  To recreate, part your hair on one side.  Gather your hair at the nape of your neck into a ponytail.  Then split that ponytail into three individual tails - one behind each ear and the last at the base of your neck.  Secure each ponytail with an elastic band.  Then twist each ponytail into a coil - make it as precise or as messy as you like.  Secure each coil with a couple bobby pins - and voila!  Done.


The Outfit:
Blue tiered sundress- Avenue
Striped cropped cardigan- Forever 21+
Pendant necklace- Entourage (store in Athens, GA)
Leopard ballet flats - Tesori
