I haven't pin curled my hair in a while but I've wanted to try some different sets with my new hair cut so I experimented and this one turned out pretty good, I think!
I hope to do a proper how-to but if you're aching to try it here's the basics:
part bangs to the side and do 2 rows of 2 pin curls. The first row to the back, the back row to the front
sides 2 rows of 3 pin curls. row 1 back, row 2 forward
the rest all willy nilly
I wore one of my favorite winter pieces- a plaid flannel dress. Seamstresses, do yourself a big favor and sew a dress in flannel this winter! It feels like pajamas but looks put together and is so cozy. I think I may sew up some 50's style full-skirted dresses in plaid flannel by next fall.

Very pretty! Love the dress, it looks super cozy for fall and winter. You wear red lipstick so well! I wish I could wear red shades like that but they don't seem to look good with my olive skin.
ReplyDeleteThis pretty lady posted some beautiful reds for olive skin involving berry and wine tones, which I loooove in autumn! http://www.babble.com/beauty/fall-ready-5-red-lip-colors-for-olive-skin/revlon-colorstay-ultimate-suede-backstage/
DeleteThank you I will check that out. I love berry and wine shades, they are really nice for fall and winter.
DeleteGoodness gracious, those boots are turning my knees to Jell-o! I love that the upper part of this outfit would easily work in the summer, but that the bottom clearly lets one know that autumn (and nearly winter) have arrived. Great styling - gorgeous hair very much included.

Drop dead gorgeous hair! And a flannel shirtdress? What an amazing idea, thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks great! Also love the idea of making flannel dresses. I have about 7 yards of brown plaid flannel - my brother made himself a traditional great kilt for Halloween years ago! - and I've been wondering what to do with the fabric. I've been working on a few "made by me" items to add to my Etsy shop. I think I know what to work on next!

DeleteYay for cozy flannel! I've got some plaid flannel I had been thinking of making into a dress, but wasn't sure how it would look, and now I'm ready to cut into that flannel. That color of blue is gorgeous, too!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived next door to you! I have the worst time doing pin curls. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but they just don't turn out right :( I do love your haircut! I'm trying to grow mine out a little longer, but some days it's tempting to cut it again! Love the flannel dress. I need to make one again. Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteAwww! Email me and send me some pics of the finished product and I can probably give you some tips to fix it! Check out my Pin Curls 101 post too, lots of tips on messed up sets- I've had LOTS of messed up sets! :) http://www.vavoomvintageblog.com/2013/02/pin-curls-101.html
