We know braids are trendy now.
I learned to french braid my own hair, the summer before I went into 9th grade.
I got the French Braid down, but the Fishtail Braid not so much. Basically it looks a mess whenever I try it on myself.
At the time, my uncle told me the girls were wearing french braids in California.
Yes, I asked him.
I had felt so out of the fashion loop, since we'd moved away from there 3 years before. If the girls in California were wearing it, I was determined to learn how. Now I'm like, really, was I slave to fashion? Why did I care so much about what other girls were wearing? :P
Work that pose! You're a lucky gal, maybe you should go buy a lotto ticket :) I'm happy you will be answering my questions. It's amazing how moms in all different parts of the continent managed to make similar casseroles, pre-internet.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love your ruffles and naval take on this outfit! I am so envious re the hair because I was always useless (still am!) at doing my hair and I could never do a French plait, let alone the fishy! In this week's inspiration, I am faking the hairstyle!!!

What a cute dress! Even better that you won it!!
ReplyDeleteOoh I really like your dress, congratulations on winning it, I love the stripes and the block colour!
ReplyDeleteI love wearing my hair in french braids, but I find them quite difficult to do and they always seem to fall out. xo
I love that dress on you; navy is definitely your color.
ReplyDeleteI need to figure out how to French braid. I won't, of course, but I need to.
Finally, I love that you share your journals with us. They are gorgeous, just like you.
Ted is not worth caring about what other girls ... I wear the same dress according to what I like, do not care what others wear .. especially because my style does not please the Brazilian ... sometimes I think it's very European ... and people here do not like ... = P
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ! It's a beautiful dress ! I love your belt and your color nails too !!!

Cute dress! I enjoyed the art pages as usual. I used to have my hair in French braids when I was little, mostly because it meant my aunt had come over to braid my hair. Adored her!

Love your dress, you styled it so well. I guess we are opposite, I've got the fishtail braid down but I really need to learn how to do a french braid.

That dress looks awesome belted like you have it! And oh man, I feel ya on the fishtail braids. I can do them, but it just takes soooo much time because my hair's so long.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning your prize, it always feels good to win at least one contest. Now Im getting a flashback at the local movie theater when batman forever came out. They were holding a batman trivia contest and this one kid won every prize they gave out. He basically walked away with a batcave because he was the only one who knew batman stuff outside the movies and cartoons
ReplyDeleteso fantastic
