My Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 2)

You can read part 1 here in My Beautiful Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 1)

I LOVE THIS HAT!!! I'm a big fan of Vintage clothing 

(Let me rephrase that, Certain kinds of Vintage clothing! :)

And while I've had several winter vintage hats this is the first on I've had the would

 work for spring and summer! 

I found it a a church sale last year for a great deal (Along with a few winter hats) 

and just couldn't pass it up! :D

It's kind of looks like a sailor hat from some angles...... 

I did my hair in a low side bun  because of the netting on the side.......

I really enjoyed REALLY dressing up for once! :)

I LOVE the 40s - 50s look of the hat! 

I used a large Bobby Pin to hold the hat in the middle of the top and a couple of 

small ones on the sides.

Did you dress up for Easter?

My Beautiful Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 1)

Here is my Easter Sunday Outfit! :D I don't mind telling you that Easter Sunday is one

 of my FAVORITE Sundays of the year (I think Christmas is the only one that ranks

 higher :) But Valentines day is a close second!) 

First thing I want to say is Thanks! to my Mom for taking most of these pictures! Easter Sunday is very busy and it felt like too much work to get the tripod out and set everything up :P 

Thanks Mom! 

As you've probable figured out I LOVE to dress up! :) I guess I'm still a little girl in that way ;)

Okay, on to the outfit! :) 

The Dress!

A couple of weeks ago one of my good friends said she had cleaned out her closet

 and had some things she thought I might be interested in (They were dresses she made herself!) I (of course!) said yes! (you know how much I LOVE clothes :) 

This dress was one of them! Yay! Instant Easter dress with a few added accessories! 

The Jacket!

My Mom picked this jacket up at one of our thrift stores last week and it went just perfectly with the dress! (It added to the 40's 50's feel of it)

The Shoes

I found these shoes at a church garage sale a couple of years ago

 (I have no idea how much they were :P) and again they have the vintage look!

I LOVe the back of the dress! :)

I added a pair of vintage looking pink rose earrings too. 

And last of all here is THE HAT! I LOVE this hat! :D This was the one thing about my outfit that was truly VINTAGE! And..........You can read about that in Part 2!

Hairstyles for Fun Spiral Curls!

Here are some of the hairstyles that I do with the Fun Spiral Curls! 

(I did these pictures from all four days I had the curls)

Day #1

I just took all of the rollers out and then used bobby pins to pull it up 

into a loose kind of  bun 

End of Day 1

Day #2 

Slept with a scarf over them and then in the morning took the curls down 

and rolled the slightly on the sides (pinning them again)

Day #3

Took them all down and ran my fingers through them (When I first came 

down in the morning I had my hair like this and my Dad and Brothers

 all laughed at me! :P)

So I pulled it back in a ponytail and that looked much better (although they still thought it looked funny..........but hey, their guys! :)

Sorry there are no pictures of day #4

(well the title picture is of day four but you can't really see them well)

Day #4 

I brushed them all out with a hairbrush (This was my favorite day of it, 

all of the curls where big and soft!)

---------------------------------------------------

Happy Monday and have a great day!

Fun Spiral Curls, Tutorial!

Hi Everyone!

This is a hairstyle that I REALLY LIKE! 

(I also get teased about it a lot by my brothers!) :) 

I get my hair wet (shower) right before bed and do it up in sponge rollers. 

I wear a scarf to keep them from coming loose.

By the way..........My Grandma curls her hair with rollers too, only she uses the old wire rollers. She say she can sleep fine and they don't bother her! 

I use foam rollers! :D They are MUCH more comfortable! :) 

There are two different ways to unroll them. 

1. is pictured above. You roll it around with your hands unwinding it....or

2. Let the hair come off the end of the roller (this gives Spiral curls and the other

 one does very wavy hair (whichever way you want it) In this post I did both to show you the difference)

Here are the rollers I use......

A side picture of the results..... 

And the back picture of the results!

(I will be posting pictures of what hairstyles you can do with the  in a few days!)

The Twisted Messy Bun! (One of my Favorite Hair Styles :)

Here is a hairstyle that I really like (one of my friends did something like it

 and I came up with my own version! :) 

I call it my

~ Twisted Messy Bun ~

I do mine when my hair is wet....It's much easier to work with that way! 

I divide the hair into four even sections (two upper and two lower)

I twist and roll the lower two and pin them at the back (leaving the bottom loose)

and then twist and roll the upper sections (again pinning it at the back)

Once I have all of it together twist it all up and around again and again until it's all up

 (bobby pinning it as you go)

I love having this comb that I can just stick in to decorate the bun!

(BTW there is an Amazon link below were you can buy this comb, it's only $7.00!) 

All in all this is one of my favorite ways to wear my hair up because it's so easy! :)

I am considering doing a short (or maybe long :) series on the different hair styles I use in my hair, 

what do you all think? 

Please leave me a comment with your opinion on it! 

Thanks for dropping by!
