Not exactly the look I was going for

It's very weird to have access to my whole closet again, I still find myself drawn towards my 30 items, and I have to make myself stay away from them. Are you guys who are finished also having that problem?

Anyway, it's a rare things that you'll see my hair up, but I was inspired to try this hairstyle after seeing Plummy doing it and how good it looked on her. You cant's see it too too well in these pics, but it was super easy to do in the morning, and I didn't even have to touch it all day. I'm hooked.

Overall, I was going for a milkmaid-in-the-Swiss-Alps-meets-equestrian but all I got all day were comments that I looked like Princess Leia. Not exactly what I was going for, but oh well.

In other news, finals are over!!! Thank goodness. Tonight I'm celebrating by going to an ugly sweater party and drinking marga-tinis. It should be awesome.

  1. I love this look. I'm such a sucker for a cute blazer. At this point, I don't want to be anywhere near my 30 for 30 items, so I don't have the same problem!

  2. I always wear my hair down, so I'll have to go to her site and try it out. I'm ready to bust out the rest of the clothes in my closet! :P

  4. I love this look and I'm pretty sure that I have those jeans! I haven't worn them in forever and seeing you with them on makes me wanna dig them back out.

    Oh how exciting that your finals are over. Mine have only just begun...

  6. I want to get back to my wardrobe but I'm almost afraid I'll be out of ideas for clothes.

  7. Congrats on finishing your finals!! So jealous. Your hair is super cute -- sorry about all the princess leia comments! I've been trying to ponder what I'll wear tomorrow (or what I'll buy?), but I have no idea yet -- too daunting at this point.

  8. I say own the Princess Leia comments. After all she was a strong woman and part of the rebellion! Your hair does look very cute.

  12. I love your hair like that - you look really pretty!

    And gray/black/white is one of my favorite combinations. I think this is a great post 30x30 look.

  14. I love your chic black/white/gray look, and I think your hair looks cute! It makes me wish for long locks. I can't do a darn thing with mine!

  15. Lydia, I love this look! It looks so clean cut and equestrian-esque! Your hair also looks amazing and you make me regret chopping my hair so much. Do you think you would be able to make a tutorial for how to do this? My hair probably won't be long enough to try this until the spring time, but I definitely would love to learn!
