OOTD: As close to a button down shirt as I get.

Since sheer blouses that are CRAZY short are in style, I've figured I needed to find a way to make these work for me. Luckily I found these great seamless tanks that are really long! Perfect for all these tops.

Velcro Roller 911

Shocker! It's not an OOTD post. I know, I need to change it up!

I've been trying to get out of my hair funk and finally learn to do more with my hair. All I can basically do is dry it. That's it. No round brush blow out, no hot rollers, ect. I learned how to use a curling iron a month ago. Going to the DryBar all the time isn't helping this cause.

I've been super inspired by Just Dandy and her always AMAZING hair. I remember years ago she did a vlog about getting volume with velcro rollers. I had a mission!!

Add that with the fact that Sephora was having a 15% off your entire purchase for beauty insiders....hair makeover has begun!!! Stopped by Sally's to get the basic supplies:



I did some research online and found a pretty good youtube video to help with how to do rollers. Since I'm round brush incapable, this one with using a curling iron was great!




I found this to be REALLY helpful. I figured I've got my supplies and video, I'm ready to go! Well....it didn't go so well!

How the heck do you get them to stay up!??! I need help....

The end result was pretty, but it didn't hold at all. My hair holds curl really well so I'm clearly not doing something correct. Please let me know any velcro roller tips!!!
