Velcro Bumpit

dress worn as top, tights: Pimkie - pinafore: H&M - boots: Think Twice vintage

Two things about this post today. Ok no three things:

1) This pinafore dress is one of my sales buys, got it for 10 euro at H&M: SCORE. I was actually looking for this one I saw on Emily a while ago, but I tried both on and this one looked better on me AND was cheaper so obviously this is the one I got. INNERESTING

2) Another sales buy: these boots. These perfect, immaculate, comfortable, elegant, leather vintage boots. Got them for 13 euros and I am INSANELY in love with them. The type of boot that is basically the holy grail of vintage because you hardly see this model in current versions anymore, yet all the vintage vixens have a pair AND I NEEDED MY OWN. I wear them all the time.

3) Notice the subtle volume at the crown of my head? NO teasing, just the velcro bumpit I ordered off of ebay! Perfect for those days when you want to evoke Brigitte Bardot, Zooey Deschanel or Anna Karina (like, everyday in my life basically). My review: super cheap but does the trick perfectly and is VERY easy to use, you just shove it under some hair and brush the hair over it et voila, stays put for hours and isn't uncomfortable or visible.

This is the result when not using a mirror or making much of an effort, so imagine how nice it COULD look! Taking it out is something you have to do VERY carefully though: the velcro can easily get super stuck in your hair -> major panicz. However, if you take it out slowly and carefully, or if your hair is coarse rather than fine like mine, it should not damage your hair ANYWHERE near as much as backcombing would. Super long hair might make it difficult to take out as well, so I wouldn't recommend it for you mermaids out there. So get it already!

PS: for those who aren't head over heels with Tavi yet, read this post. She is my absolute biggest girl crush and idol for all things blog- and life-related. Also, we agree on basically everything and have the exact same obsessions. I wish we were friends in real life, but at least I got to meet her once!
