Buns and Bows

I can't seem to stop wearing my hair in a large bun atop my head.  It's just so convenient.  It takes two seconds to pin up, I don't have to pull my sweaty hair off of my sweaty neck every 15 seconds, and the best part of all- it doesn't require a hair wash.  Which we all know, I love that.  

I know I like my buns- the kind atop my head- but I am wondering about the bun with the bow.  Am I allowed to have two huge things on my head? 


Headband: H&M  Shirt: TJ Maxx

Can you wear a large bow on your head AND a huge bun at the same time? And, would you take someone seriously who looked like this?

I would take you seriously, but only if we were out to lunch, or at a picnic, or in the mall. If we were in a conference room, that could be a different story. I like it though!

This is such a cute hairdo ^^ With the bow it's indeed not very office appropriate but it works everywhere else! ^^ x

Erica Louise said...

Agree with the other two comments. Its a cute look for a day out shopping or lunch, but probably not in a corporate environment :)

I think it looks great!! I have waist length hair, so I am always looking for some cute up-do's for those hot summer days. The bow is really cute! :)

I love the vintage feel of your bow. It's both lady-like and nautical. I would wear this for work and if we were in a meeting, I'd listen because a lady with style is creative, confident and has somethin' to say. I'll try this look soon!

You can TOTALLY wear two huge things on your head! So cute!

I think it totally depends on the type of corporate job. Some jobs completely work for that kind of fun, creative look. I worked at a book publisher and could have rocked that...though i am not a big bun person but, I think it looks fantastic on you!

If you are as cute as you are then the answer is always YES!!

Lindsay said...

Yes! I often wear a little leopard print bow with my giant bun poof. I vote yes all day long!

jessi said...

i'd have to say it's not my favorite. i think i prefer just the sleek big bun on top of your head, it's really cute and i dig it!

lori said...

i do like it, but as some of the other girls said- i think its situational... its not exactly work appropriate, but love it for a lunch date with a friend.

Cute! I'm digging the bow craze.

Laura said...

i say yes! a bow is like a headband and we all know headbands look fab when hair is pulled up as well as down.

Marge Simpson gives it two thumbs up...

I think it looks cute but i am going to have to say it soooo reminds me of the 80's
since you were not even born then, it shouldn't bother you in the least lol

Eh.... I think the bow is a little much. What if you tried trying it at the bottom of your head, underneath the bun? Or just tying it in a knot and letting it hang down...? I really LOVE your shirt by the way. And I'd love to see pictures of the back of your bun. =)

I don't have an answer or an opinion about the bow/bun but I just had to say I chuckled out loud when you asked if you're allowed to have two huge things on your head. I don't know why I find that amusing, but I do. :)

Also, I need emergency styling help for an event tomorrow (Friday) and I wish I had some roommates to help me out! I posted this morning about it.

I think it looks kinda cute but I'm not really into big bow's on top of heads, haha. the bun looks super chic and cute though! i used to never...ever, evvvver wear my hair up but recently I have been doing a bun like this too and I love it. no hair washing is amazing!

I don't love it but don't hate it. I think you are bold enough to pull it off, but probably wouldn't wear it to the office!

i think it looks kind of costumey. not wild about it.

Tangled In Texas said...

I *love* this look! You can totally rock the bow/bun combo. As the commenters above mentioned, I probably wouldn't wear the total combo to work, but I would wear the bun for the conference room and the bow/headband with my hair down and hot rolled. Super cute!

debbiecutieface said...

I love the look, I really do! However, don't wear it to a business meeting...you know what I'm saying? It doesn't exactly scream "professional."

A Dose of Lovely said...

yes yes yes. Its adorable. and I would totally take you seriously. that style is so cute on you!

Anonymous said...

hm, you are super cute, but no bun + bow. i can't take you seriously with that combination. maybe just a small ribbon or headband with the bun?

Ro said...

i think its awesome! you'll have to teach me how to do the big bun! i need more summer hairstyles!

Mel said...

First: love the bun. Second: love the bow. Great for a casual day or on the weekend!

mama marchand said...

I totally agree with Kristin up there - definitely a good casual look but not for a serious setting. :) Love that bow!

Jenn said...

I think it's cute! But I agree with what several other people have said, it's definitely a situational hairstyle :)

Style Journey said...

It looks really cute on you, but I would feel like a huge dummy with this look. I would keep the look to a casual setting though :) By adding the red lipstick it's a nice touch!

I loooove the big blogger bun! Thats one thing I miss the most about chopping my hair :( I think the bow is adorbs but maybe just a weekend/errands look. Where is that bow from?

Katie said...

Yep I love this look, makes me wish I had long hair!!

I think the bun is really big. It looks really old fashioned house wife ish. I like the bow though.
