Inspiration to Recreation: Second Day Updo

I've never been much for the 'second day hair.' My hair tends to be very oily and generally by the end of the first day is doesn't look so hot. Because of this and the fact that I like clean hair, I wash my hair every day. Well, this particular day I decided not to and just go with what I had. I'd put dry shampoo in it the day before and styled like this:

I decided for my "second day" look, I'd just do something like a messy bun. I found this look:

Adding a headband, this was my end result:

Outfit of the Day: Purple Polkadot

As I near the end of this pregnancy, comfort has begun to win over style. I still try to dress well, but ultimately I am more concerned with what fits and what's comfortable. 

I thought this outfit did a good job of mixing comfort with a bit of style. This lilac purple tank plagued with little black polka-dots stretches nicely over my ever growing baby bump! I added the ruffle trim black cardigan and black skinnies.

I Accessorized with a multi-toned chunky black necklace and coordinating earrings. I also put on a pair of well padded and easy-on-my-swollen-feet black flats.

A New Way To Do the 'Do

I have been growing my bangs out since last Fall. I figured after Alana is born I don't want to have to style them every day, nor do I want them hanging down in my face, as I plan to be looking down at her a LOT! My bangs have reached that middle ground...they are just barely able to tuck behind my ear but not enough to stay there yet. I've started playing with different ways to style them: up-forward-and-to-the-side, up-back-and-to-the-side, twisted back, la pouf, braided back...whatever I can think of to get them out of my way. I think I found a happy place with my bangs this week. I plan to style them this way for a few more days to see if I really like it, but so far I like to way it looks. What do you think?
