Hair Trend: Sock Bun

I've been working on perfecting the top knot, or I guess I should just say bun.

The sock bun to be exact. There are lots of tutorials on Pintrest (click here to chose one).

My hair is long, but not thick so any time I toss it up it looks like a tiny little thin ball on top of my head. Not exactly the look I'm going for.

Once I realized with the use of a sock I could create the appearance of a thick bun I was all in.

Check my results:

From the front

From the back. Look how thick and full it looks. 

Now I just need to rock the sock bun out in public. It's the perfect look for summer-- Come in off a long lake day and just toss your locks up in a bun. Easy and stylish.

So Pintrest has grabbed hold of practically everyone I know. Its full of all kinds of ideas and inspiration.

Just this past Friday night over dinner, Deidra and began discussing the many uses of pallets according to Pintrest. This not only made for great conversation but also inspired us to actually go out and collect pallets.

Pallet Inspiration via Joy Ever After

So obviously after a few glasses of the vino Deidra and I found ourselves behind the local Piggly Wiggly attempting to load a pallet into the car. It was quite the sight. Dumpster diving late night.

Well last night as I was searching for fashion inspiration I came across this pin:

I thought: That is really kind of cool. Ryan has lots of shirts I can turn into a shirt dress!!

My wardrobe was about to increase by tenfold!!

So I hopped up and tested it out. Here's how it went down:

Step 1. Dig in closet and find a shirt similiar to the one above:

Srep 2. Put on big shirt. (leave on leggings and footies since you just got back from the gym. Also, leave hair looking crazy.)

Step 3.  Tie the arms of the shirt around you and knot. Let hair down for a fresher look.

Step 4. Crack up at how ridiculous it is that you are tying up your man's shirt in attempt to make a shirt dress.  

Moral of the shirt story. No one could actually wear this because it would never stay up.

Happy Pinning!
