Top Knot || How To
Ladies and gentlemen (well, probably just ladies but you never know). I am SO excited to feature Tracy Melton on today's post! Tracy did my hair and make-up for my wedding day and is incredibly gifted. In addition to that, she's just the cutest thing you'll ever meet!Lots of girls have asked me how to do a good top-knot. The ones I do on my own are always super messy and fall down, so Tracy here has created a step-by-step tutorial (pictures included!) to teach you all how to get the perfect top-knot. Enjoy!
Here's Tracy's step-by-step instructions!
Start by gathering your hair into a high ponytail at the crown and securing it with a hair band.
Once secured, take a comb and give your mane a tease. Teasing is an important step if you have fine or thin hair – helps to bulk it up and give it some grip.From there, simply twist the teased ponytail (loosely) to help form the shape.Continue by wrapping the twisted hair around the base of the hair band creating the bun shape.Secure in place with bobby pins. Don’t be scared to tug at the bun to get it to the desired height and shape. Tuck in any strays and finish off with hair spray. You’re all set!Tip: To make this look more messy and lived-in, take the palms of your hands and rub them on your temples and near your ears to loosen up more face framing hairs. You can also pull on your bun to make it more textured.

the slouchy pant
Wait...it's currently a trend to wear loose, slouchy pajama-ish pants outside of your house? Sign me up for that please! I found my favorite black slouchy pant a few weeks ago and have more than gotten my money's worth since! I love that these can be great both for work or running errands. I feel so girly and chic every time I wear them, without sacrificing comfort.
