Hair Experiments


Sometimes, it's fun to experiment with new things. 


 Like today, I tried a new setting pattern for a 50s swept back hair do.


 It certainly wasn't a perfect first try but you have to start somewhere.


I'm convinced that with more practice, I can do better.


Although I do quite like the way this side view looks. It was fun trying out something new.


 I paired my new do with a new 3/4 circle skirt and black turtle neck. I was going for a bit of late 50s early 60s glamor.


To add to the glam factor, I accessorized with my great-grandmother's vintage brooch and some sparkly lucite earrings.


What new hair style have you been dying to try?

    I like your hair swept back. I recently got a middy haircut and it's been an experience to say the least, but I like trying new things. I would like to try more vintage updos as my hair grows out a bit.
    And I love your outfit, too.

    Love this outfit! It reminds me so much of Vera Ellens outfit in white christmas. Only difference was she had a white turtle neck under a black sweater..or something. Anyways wonderful and practice makes perfect with the hair styles, but I think you did a wonderful job :)

    It looks very modern! I was like "why is she talking about her hair? That looks pretty normal..." and then I saw the curls! (I think the lighting was also not the best for showcasing dark hair.) But I think if you worry about bringing vintage to work, something like this style could easily be pulled off.

    Very elegant style - it strikes me instantly as having a distinct Grace Kelly-esque vibe to it.

    Finger waves. I have never been able to accomplish them, but I need to get myself some new rollers. Love your hair, very Grace Kelly.
