Polished: Braids...again

Happy 4th of July!!! I hope you are having fun with friends and family today...or just relaxing at home! Do what you love!

Are you sick of seeing braids everywhere? No? Good, me either. They are just so easy and cute!

I wanted to braid my bangs back, but I wanted to try braiding it forward instead of back, if that makes any sense. So I started a french braid at my part and grabbed pieces from the back only to pull into the braid. Usually I pull from the front, so it puts the braid further back on my head. I braided all my bangs in, braided back some more, pinned them in and was good to go!

Just a simple change, but I really liked the look a lot better. Try it!

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Polished: Upside Down French Braid

As I've mentioned, I try to only wash my hair every other day, which means I try to come up with different ways to wear my hair on the second day. 

As you've probably noticed in a lot of my outfit photos, that I wear the high bun quite a bit. It's just so easy! Trying to figure out how to change it up a little bit, I've been seeing on some blogs that you can french braid your hair upside down into the bun. It's slightly difficult, but with a little work, I thought it looked cute. The key for me was to clip the front part of my hair out of the way so I didn't grab it on accident. Try it and see how it works!

These pictures were taken at the end of the day, so it's a little on the messy side, but I really like it that way!

Have a happy Wednesday!

Outfit Tuesday: Neon

I cannot tell you how excited I am that neon is in this season. I pretty much wear neon colors all the time, it's just now, I'm trendy when I do! Also, this lipstick is my favorite: Covergirl Lip Perfection in Spellbound. Rich, creamy, bright. 

Here's the breakdown of the outfit: cardigan, GAP (gift for Christmas); shirt, anthrolopogie (after Christmas sale for $8!!!!!); jeans, Old Navy; leopard print flats that you can't see, Target (gift card!)

My second-day hair: pinned back bangs, french braid around the left side into a side bun. I like having my hair out of the way on the mega windy days. 

Thanks for reading, again. Have a happy Tuesday!
