That's Some Bad Hat Harry (This post is about hair. Not hats)

Ok so, this week's theme is all the different ways I do my hair. Which really isn't much. A lot of these are the just the same thing only slightly different. Since I don't use heat on my hair there's really two ways I can do my hair: up and down. But I try to make it interesting with different scarves and different bangs and stuff. So hopefully these hairstyles don't bore you too much. If all else fails just look at the clothes because that's what matters anyway right?

Here my hair is up in a messy bun and I wrapped my head in an infinity scarf. Resourceful I know.

 Here my hair is up in a messy bun but instead of a scarf I have a wire headband in my hair. And what a difference it makesl. Sarcasm. I mean, it does look a little different. I guess

 

I wore this outfit to go see the dance company JUNK at the Lincoln Center. Definitely some people you want to google later. Really crazy stuff. Two words: lizard costume. Now to google with you!

Ooohoo. This is where it really starts to get crazy. So I start with a messy bun again right. But get this. Instead of an infinity scarf, I use a regular scarf to tie it up. Dude wuuuuuuuut. Just kidding. It is slightly different though because with regular scarves you can tie it up all cute at the top. Or bottom. Whatever you're into. 

The Classic, hair down with bangs. (And yes, I really don't use heat on my hair. It dries this way. Not to brag but... yea. Really I think it just takes a good haircut to make any hair-type look good without having to distress it with extreme temperatures. And that's why I cut my own hair. Wow. This just turned into one big bragging session. But really. No one understands your natural hair like you do and you gotta find the right haircut that brings out the natural beauty in your hair. That's my philosophy anyway. Longest perentheses ever. Lemon out.)

The classic hair down with bangs swooped to the side. 

Here's a closer look in case you missed it the first time. The struggle is real, I know.

This one I feel like is pretty cool actually. It's hair down with hippy-whatever-whatever headband slightly pushing the hair up into a gentle poof. 

A very gentle poof. 

And I call this one the Nancy Drew. Because I respect myself. Hair down with infinity scarf headband. 

Again, in case you missed it. 

And this is from an outfit from another post but I wanted to put it in anyway, you know, since we're talking about hair anyway, because it's flipping awesome. It's another hair poof thingy but this time featuring my very own NBA sweatband. My pride and joy. Actually it's just a make-shift headband made from the collar of an old sweatshirt. But hey. Resourceful right?

So thanks for listening to a complete hair ameteur talk about her boring hair. When I had my long hair, I could lots of interesting stuff with it. All you need to know about how I used to do my hair when it was long is in this quick anecdote. 

Gay friend approaches Franky: "Frances. Tell the bird that's living in your hair that it's time to migrate." Gay friend walks away with smirk on face knowing he has just executed the perfect burn. 

I will leave the rest up to your imagination.

Jackorts and Shorkets

Hey guys! So, sorry I haven't posted in a while but I've been pretty obnoxiously sick these past 3 or 4 weeks. I was in the hospital for one of those weeks. Yea. nasty stuff. Anyway, I'll be catching up on my postings this week and next and hopefully be up to date soon.

So for this week's worth of outfits the theme is jackorts/shorkets which is just a hip and fresh way to say wearing shorts with jackets. Enjoy:

Okay so technically this outfit isn't a true shorket because it's actually a dress underneath but close enough. I realize I just started this post off with a lie. Rough.

the cowboy boots really finish this one off

Look at that magnificent piece of fabric. They call it a jacket. Again, I cheated on this one because technically it's a tunic I'm wearing, not shorts. It's the general idea that counts.   

Elbow patches and bow tie? Bam. Power Outfit.

The shoulders on this jacket could bludgeon a small mammal. 

No words for this one. It's admittedly weird. I got it from a random guy at a Christmas party. Really he was kind of an idiot because "ugly Christmas sweaters" implies that it has something to do with Christmas, not just any old sweater. This sweater is really more Mardi Gras. Felt no shame in relieving him of this jewel though because it barely fit him and he was just embarassing himself. 

This one too is quite the dream boat. Like John Cusack in the 80s. It's pure magic. My brother got me this jacket from groodwill or ARC or something for Christmas a few years ago and I've cherished it since. Also, note the use of denim jumper underneath. Actually this jumper wasn't always shorts on the bottom. It opened into a skirt but I sewed up the crotch to make it a true jumper.
