Top Knot

The top knot has been spotted all over Fall runways and sitting gorgeously atop celeb heads. About a week ago, I thought maybe I'd try it out. I came out of the powder room after about 239,047 hours, and asked my husband what he thought. We don't have to worry about Anthony lying, even for the sake of feelings. He'll always tell it to you straight. 

"You look weird."

Thanks babe, I really do appreciate the honesty. And there went the bun.
 Bare in mind, I suck at hair. I can do makeup, I can do fashion, but I'm the girl who blow dries and straightens her hair day after day, because you can't go too wrong with that. It's safe. 
But what if I don't want to be safe anymore? Isn't that what fashion is all about? Pushing boundaries? 

So, today after watching Sydney's tutorial on her blog, Daybook, I decided to give it a go. My bun turned out much better this time around, and it only took like five minutes. Thank you, Sydney.
What do you think? 
Does it look like I have two heads?
Could I wear it in public? 
Or should I just stick to feeling this glamourous while washing the dishes?

  9. I love this hair style and I am seeing it everywhere! I wish my hair was longer so I could try it out myself. I guess for now I'll just live vicariously through you and your cute bun!

  11. i totally wore this the other day and i definitely got some weird looks but my husband just looked at it and then kept talking, he said he figured it was "something to do with fashion" and just didn't comment at all! So funny! But I felt more fashion forward and stylish the whole day...and my head was sore at the end of the day! ;)
