updo of the week

i have a slightly intense drama director who requires all the girls in this year's musical to pull their hair back before getting on stage. i like to take style restrictions as an opportunity to do something cool. this is how i wore my hair last night to play practice: 

  

um, it's really hard to take a picture of the back of your head! lol oh well, this is the best i could do. i pulled most of my hair into a messy bun and left a few strands loose at the bottom. then i took those pieces, made 2 separate braids, wrapped them around my bun in opposite directions, and pinned them in place. 

my inspiration (although i think i like hers better):

Olympics Closing Ceremony Natalia Vodianova

The closing ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics was said to be the first Olympics Closing Ceremony held in an indoor venue since the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. What made me decide to post an article about the Olympics Closing Ceremony was the appearance of Russian model Natalia Vodianova at the ceremony. Her all-white number intends to reach out and extend the greetings from Sochi, Russia where the 2014 Winter Olympics will be held.
