But when I saw this fresh take on braids from Elle...

...inspired by some very avant garde pigtail-esque 'dos on the Givenchy Spring 2011 runway...
Certainly not as extreme, but I definitely avoided wearing the men's snap-front plaid shirt I thought about putting on to head down to a local Alehouse for fear of looking too much like a cowgirl.
The interesting thing about this tunic is that it needs to have some sort of tie or belt right under the bust, which is usually a flattering place for most women to have a belt fall. However, my narrowest part, my natural waist, is about where my hands are in that photo above. So, although I think it looks fine as is (it's a little more casual this way), it would look best if I were able to belt it at my narrowest point.
Tunic: Anthropologie
Belt: Target
Jeans: American Eagle
Necklace: self-made
this a great take on pigtails! i'll have to try this as soon as my hair is long enough!
ReplyDeleteI usually keep my hair fairly short, so I'm definitely enjoying the freedom for experimentation that longer hair brings!
ReplyDeleteHi Princess: You would look great in a paperbag, dear, so the tunic is lovely exactly where it is belted on you. LOVE the hair. I'm also a huge fan of pigtails. I pigtail my short hair sometimes but usually only at home since I look like I'm about 18 when I do it.
ReplyDeleteI really like your take on pigtails! I'm growing out my hair (it takes FOREVER) but this would be a fun look to try eventually. :)
