Dress (Dockers find, Marshalls); Shoes (Jessica Simpson find, Marshalls); Belt (Target); Faux Flower (H&M); Earrings (Limited) Ryan Seidel Photography |
Do you ever wake up in the morning with a strong urge to put a fake flower in your hair? That is how this day started :) I thought the flower was the perfect accent to my 50's silhouette school teacher inspired look. This dress always makes me feel like I should be addressing a classroom of young kids... I think everyone at some point thinks about becoming a school teacher. The selling points for me included summers off and getting to write on the chalkboard all the time. But then I got older, and now I see kids running around like wild animals and think... God bless teachers - I could never do it!
On another note, a few of you have asked how I get my bun so full (the secret is a comb and hairspray). Just put your hair in a ponytail... then tease the heck of out it, next smooth the top layer and wrap it into a bun securing it with bobby pins. No sock necessary :)

Your dress is gorgeous my dear! I love it's classic and chic shape and it's pretty print. Love your hair in that up do :)
Take care, Daniella xox
That is such a ladylike dress, I love your wedges & your hair looks incredible like that :)
Very cute and ladylike... love the nude wedges and the praise worthy perfect bun! I love a sock bun but a "messy" updo works as well....

So funny, I was playing dress up last night with a headband that I have that has a detachable flower, which I was pinning every which way to my hair, clothes, everything! Love this sophisticated 50's ish look on you, and love the bun and flower in your hair.
You look beautiful in this dress! And I'm loving the hair, it seriously is the perfect bun! :)

Very ladylike!
Gorgeous! Your hair looks amazing, and I just love that dress silhouette on you. Happy Monday!
What a perfectly polished look...love the subtle print of the dress. Oddly enough, I've never really cared for wedges but these are so delightful I'm having to reconsider; just push me out of my rut! =)

What a cute dress! Even with teasing I don't think I could get my thin hair to look like that without the sock!

That dress is so so so cute! You must have a really good Marshall's because I never find stuff like that at the one here. I had to grin when I read about being a teacher. I did want to be a teacher, but quickly changed my mind when I found out I wouldn't get to choose what grade I wanted to teach.
Such a pretty, classic look. Love the bun too!

I can definitely feel a 1950s schoolteacher inspiration in this outfit post. Your hair looks awesome Heather.
So you work for Verizon? That's awesome, I work for Wrigley :) Between the two of us, we can take over the world....ulimited sugar and wireless connection! One of these days, we'll have to meet up!
You mean all that is your hair and no filling!! Awesome!! You look lovely and very different (different good) when you put your hair up! I feel all you need now is a black robe and you can start your practice :-P

I want those shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a great outfit! I love wearing pretty accessories in my hair, it's fun to make flowers out of fabric to coordinate with outfits! I've never incorporated a flower into a bun that way, it looks great, so I'll have to try it for myself!
If I ever style my own hair that well, I'll die of shock. hehe, such a pretty, polished look!
So pretty! I love the 50's silhouette, how can you not feel amazing in that? And you really do put your hair in the best buns :)
ok -- question: I don't see the faux flower. Is it at the top of your bun? ok -- statement: I couldn't be a teacher either. I was a tutor last year and didn't go back. yay! It wasn't for me.
ok -- fact: you are so pretty!
Awwwww, I wish I had long enough hair to do a bun like that! I love that dress on you!
Your bun is to die for!
Please post a how to guide!
