This was my look on Sunday. A long-sleeved white shirt/blouse. It has some hint of black which I paired off with my high-waist black skinnies. To top it off I added black suspenders. I’ve always thought about this look and would have loved to wear my black wide-brimmed hat as well but couldn’t as I had gone through the labour of using flexi rods to curl my hair and as such it was only appropriate for my hair to get it’s own spotlight. People loved the outfit, particularly the suspenders. Sometimes you have to go to the past in order to go forward. The black and white filter echoes the ‘retro’ essence of the outfit. This outfit was inspired by the outfit below that I found on Pinterest. I actively searched for it, I find the search function on Pinterest very useful as I can narrow down the outfit I’m looking for by specifying items in my closet. Since I mentioned my hair, I might as well talk about it a bit. So I bought flexi rods for my hair on Wish (the online shopping app) after my housemate had recommended it. The rods were delivered 2 weeks early to my surprise and excitement of course. If you have natural hair and enjoy taking care of it you’d relate. My hair is quite kinky (type 4B I think) so naturally it requires a lot of effort in order to maintain and curling it is one of the things I love to do. I usually do overnight twists without applying any curling hair products, so this means that my curling attempts lead to mainly just straight bushy hair with some loose curls. I actually do like it like that as it means I can easily transition to straightish hair that I can tie into a pony tail the day after my curls (if we’re calling them that) have faded. Here is what happened with the curling roads:
So it was much better than the twists but my research has lead me to believe that I need to use a good curl activator product and in addition, I need to change the way I roll the hair on the rods, it should be spread on the rod and not rolled in one place. There are so many videos out there but I liked this one the most. Once again, Pinterest was a good source.
