The door in my wardrobe*

//// The scrunchie strikes back

Posted on | February 23, 2010 | 6 Comments

To be honest I’ve never ditched all my scrunchies from back then… …a velvet one is such a gentle way to keep a long hair up in the nighttime. Ahum, practically this is my night look for hair — I hate to wake up with hair in my mouth. I was just thinking if I could incorporate it to day looks.

I am aware that I have awfully large forehead — but it has been like this from my teenage years. On the other hand I really like the severity of no loose hair around the face, all other facial features of mine except that hairline are softly feminine, and I like this contrast.

Otherwise I’m wearing everyday winter stuff. The dotted scarf I picked up from local charity shop and it is a decent substitute for the Comme des Garcons for H&M one — which I did not buy when it was time. The material of this one is not as beautiful, but I like the combination of beige and black, plus the ample amount of fabric. My cashmere-silk sweater is from Zara, jeans are my husbands old Acnes, shirt is thrifted, mohair mix socks from who knows where, ebayed Martens. I’m getting sick on winter clothing…

    i love this look. it’s comfortable without being frumpy. and i love your bun, as well. i don’t really like my hair in my face. i think now that it’s growing back, i’ll be wearing it up a lot more often.

    Villapaita ja pallokuosit toimivat loistavasti yhteen! Wow!

    I love your laid-back-with-edge style. I too have a high forhead, and have always taken comfort in the fact that if I was a medieval lady, I would be super hot because those high forheads were a sign of aristocratic beauty! The high bun looks lovely on you, and you may have inspired me to dig my velvet scrunchies out from the back of my accessory drawer.

    This really makes me consider wearing jeans again! Great outfit. Oh and I think scrunchies are going to make a huge comeback sooner or later. If my hair were a little longer I might even go as far as to go look for my old flowery ones again :D , such nostalgia.
