What I Wore Wednesday Link Up

I am linking up with The Pleated Poppy for the "What I Wore Wednesday" series. This is my third time linking up with her blog. 



For those that don't know me, I sell on ebay full-time. I get my inventory (mostly woman's clothing) from thrift stores. This means I am at thrift stores 2-3 days a week. The rest of the week I am listing on ebay from home or taking care of my elderly father-in-law. 


I don't have a need for a fancy wardrobe (sometimes I wish I did though) and our church is very laid back. I basically wear the same 4 or 5 outfits every week. This challenge is really good for me. It has really made me examine my closet and donate a lot of things I haven't worn in awhile.

Jeans: my new favorite purchase! I was at the local consignment shop giving them a huge bag of items that didn't fit me anymore and found them for $4.  


Fun Hairstyles: 

 Since I don't have many chances to dress up, I usually try crazy hair styles throughout the week. Above are double french braids. I felt like a cowgirl.

 

This style was one of my favorites from the front and side (below). I need a way to clean it up from the back (above). It isn't even a braid. I took two pieces instead of the normal three and just twisted. I kept adding pieces and twisting until I had both sides of my head done. Then I took both twists and gathered them into a messy bun.

 

This next style is basically what I look like on most days. I gather my hair into a loop on the top of my head. It reminds me of the 1960's. It is easy and keeps all that hair out of my face. 

Thanks for stopping by!
