Fashion Friday #10: Swapping Closets with my Roommate (:

So happy it's Friday!  Only 5 more days and I'm heading home for the holidays!  Today my roommate, Anna, and I did a closet swap and each picked something out from the other person's closet.  One of the many pluses to having a cute roommate!  The size of my wardrobe has seemed double around here because now we each have the other one's closet to choose from, too! So fun.  Here's what we picked:

Anna

Shirt: Anthropologie {on sale of course!}

Belt: Anthro, too!

Skinny Jeans: H&M {She wants me to add that they were only $7.99!}

Brown Boots: Steve Madden {I borrow these often and they are super comfy}

PS. Doesn't her hair look a little like Taylor Swifts curls?!

Michaela

Shirt: Macy's

Skinny Cropped Jeans: B.P. department of Nordstrom on a MAJOR sale...only $23 {with tax!}

Ballet Flats: DSW

This week I'm going to try some cute hairstyles out just in time for Christmas get-togethers.  Here's some fun ones I found:

I haven't tried this on myself yet, but it looks mildly simple.  Just twist a piece of hair toward your head and keep adding in small sections as you twist.  Once you're at the back of your head, coil the rest of the hair into a simple bun and secure with bobby pins. I'll show you my version soon!

This is a stylish and fun messy bun.  Before pinned into place, the hair was curled and teased.  Then the  pieces were twisted into different directions and some were pulled out for a messy effect.

This is possibly my favorite holiday look. I just love what a flower can add to a simple hairstyle. I love the big flowers at the top of her pony tail. This could work for a holiday party or a fun dinner with the girlfriends.

I like this pony tail because it looks a little edgy.  The hair is taught close to the scalp and secured at the crown of the head.  Then the elestac is wrapped with a thin piece of hair.  After the pony tail is in, lift up the top section of the hair and back comb it a tad to give it some volume.  Give it a try!

If any one of you ladies give this a try, send me pictures and let me know! Maybe I'll do a feature on readers' hairstyles!

What are some fun styles you've tried recently? I'm particularly fond of my 3/4 inch barrel curling iron for lose curls (:

Love and Fashion Friday,
