Day 24: lift & tuck

How to turn a pencil skirt into a mini skirt: lift, tuck under a sweater, and secure with a belt. 

Oh you already knew that nugget of information? 

Well how about this revelation - watch out for the back slit... you're welcome

Only 1 more week of my 30X30 Fall Challenge, and I can't believe I haven't had to put on a heavy jacket yet! Although, as I am currently running a little low on 30X30 inspiration, I might have to start wearing coats exclusively.... good life plan, huh?!

Hello lovies! 

Day 4 of my 30X30 Remix Challenge, and I am embracing the bright colors of Spring. 

Mint is a hot color, and I have definitely jumped on board!

Good thing this puppy is cute, because she sure is BAD! 

Man oh man, going to the mall this weekend was a BAD decision given my plans to partake in a shopping hiatus for 30 days!

What is on your Spring shopping list? (yes, I want to torture myself more... or maybe just live vicariously through your shopping hauls!)

You know don’t you? You have figured out my secret!?

I’m wearing a sock in my hair!

(…Yes, I will pause while you do a double take…)

Have you heard of the sock bun? Or are you like me, and late to this sock bun party? Due to some recent hot water heater issues at my home (cold shower=crank, greasy Jessica) I resorted to said sock bun to mask my 2 day unwashed hair… and ladies (and gents) this rocks (my socks… hehe!)

Are you questioning the sock bun? I think it is only natural to second guess the viability of wearing socks in one's hair, but this seriously is my new favorite thing! I wish I would have known about this when I was in ballet... 1 sock and you are done, no pokey, hurting bobby pins, and it stayed put all day!

If you are ready to venture into this brave new world with me, I have two tips for a successful sock-bunage (these will make more sense after you watch the video)... 

1.) use a thick sock, the tighter your "donut" is, the easier this will be

2.) use a sock of your general hair color (i.e. brown/black haired girls use black/brown, blonde/gray hair girls use white socks).

I used black above, and while you can't "see" it, if I were to use a white sock I would fear accidental show-age)

Go forth and sock-bun
