Milkbraid

Loads of photo's coming up! Sunny weather ALWAYS makes me trigger happy with the camera. I figured my hair finally got long enough to try that whole milkmaid braids hairdo, so I let that inspire me when getting dressed! Sweet, clean, fresh and ready to roll in a haystack.

And a last notice before reading: I sort of screwed up with resizing, so I'm sorry all my pictures seem to be differentsized, haha

My boyfriend hates my "Heidi hair" as he calls it, but I love it. I can't hide my Dutch milkmaid roots, y'all!

This chick is totally on trend with that chic primary colorblocking outfit! And is that hat Stephen Jones?

All kidding aside, I think I'll always have a love for farm-inspired fashion. Clogs hit home for me for that reason, and who can say no to rosey cheeks and perfectly disheveled hair? I'm pretty sure that our childhood influences our aesthetics. I grew up in a typical farming village, and I still miss the smell of manure from time to time. I'm only slightly kidding. Whenever I get homesick, I look at these pictures my sister took.

PS: for those asking about a tutorial on the hair, I just messily parted my hair in the back (more to one side so I had two equal parts of hair, since I have a side parting) and braided it like this. Then I just fastened the braids with rubber bands and pinned both of them to the back of my head with bobby pins, easy peasy! Let me know if you need a clearer explanation :D
