I know, I know, how predictable could I be? Over time everything evolves, and so does fashion and 'trends'. I prefer to call what I wear my 'style' rather than fashion as I believe in showing your personality through your clothing, not just following the herd.
First came the Sock Bun.
I did love this as I like wearing my hair up, but have found that I don't have quite enough hair to create the fullness a bun really needs. The sock bun just gave it a bit of 'oomph' which I really enjoyed, but I never quite felt comfortable in it. Maybe because I was very conscious that the sock might be showing (yes, I used an actual tube sock, it seemed to work better than the 'donuts' found in beauty stores). Also, the normal bun just wasn't quite for me. It felt all too grown up and a bit same same.
However, the Bow Bun is a completely different kettle of fish.
It just feels 100% me. Quirky, while not being in-your-face offensive on the eyes, and it's also very quick, easy and practical. It took me 1 minute 45 seconds to do (I did time it) the first time I did it while following a tutorial. And as it is made only my hair, a bit of backcombing, some hairspray and a few hair grips (bobby pins), I feel a lot less conscious of it.
This is definitely going to turn in to my go-to style for everything, parties, school, work.
Here's how I styled it today for a lunch out with family
Mustard tights, red lips and a bow bun, you can't go far wrong!
Keep Dorking On,
