Little girl blue
I don’t know what it is about these tights, but whenever I wear them I can’t help myself but make the rest of my outfit blue too. It’s not that I have some weird fascination with always wearing one colour… but there’s something about a completely blue outfit that I adore. As a side note, I’m really looking forward to being able to belt things on my waistline again… scratch that, I’m really looking forward to having a waistline again! Hehe. Though I know realistically that’s probably a few months away. Regardless, I really love this outfit. I think I wear this dress and cardigan together way too much, but whatever, it’s a combo I love, so here I am, very happily in a style rut!
Meanwhile, I’m having a really really bad hair day. Tragically bad. The problem is my bangs. I’ve been half heartedly growing them out and so right now they look, well, crappy. I used to have severe bangs that required straightening every day, and I just can’t be bothered with that anymore… plus I very vainly believe it made my face look fat. What’s a girl to do? I’m totally lacking in hair inspiration at the moment. I know I want to change my current style, but I’m really stuck as to what direction to go in. Oh I’m such a complainer how do you put up with me!! Anyway for now I turned to the fabulous Mademoiselle Robot and an unbelievable easy tutorial she did on french braiding a headband from your bangs. I should have taken a better photo of how mine turned out, but I really really like it! I think this might become a bad hair day staple for me.
And thanks to everyone for weighing in on our little cuddly toy debate! That poor little teddy is getting it’s butt whooped by the giraffe! Hehe.

i love how your belt has been pinched from your mom’s closet
Another cute headband thing you can do is a twist, it’s like a french braid but with two instead of three strands. So easy you can do it without even looking. I did a little video tutorial a few weeks back if you like… http://onthelaundryline.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-first-how-to-video-twist-braid.html
It’s kind of an embarassing video though because I was a saturday-morning hot mess, haha.
I love your tights! I have a similar color, and I feel the same way as you; when I wear them, I want to make the rest of my outfit blue too!
You look very happy, not blue, in your outfit.
i love your blue tights here! they’re so pretty with your grey and blue dress. and i’m totally looking up that braid tutorial- i love the look and can never figure out how to do it!
That dress is so pretty! And I love how you brought out the blues with the tights and the flats!
