Easy(ish), Elegant Updo

I'm a big fan of playing with new hairstyles now that I have enough length to play with. I can troll around Pinterest for hours, and always find something just adorable, even though at 6am, I haven't had enough coffee to try anything as ambitious as hair.

A couple weeks ago, my ever-creative sister posted a hairstyle on her Facebook page that I just had to try, and it turned out darn cute, if I may say so myself. The best part was, it was elegantly messy and fairly easy for my untrained fingers.


I of course skipped a couple steps...I hate teasing my hair, and I didn't feel like I needed bulk since this was second-day hair I was working with, so I also skipped the dry shampoo. I did have to use about a thousand bobby pins, where she was lucky enough to only need a few. Added about a pound of hairspray, and ta-dah! Fancy hair for the office, just how I like it.
