This is the easiest DIY fashion post ever. There are only two steps. The first thing you need to do is buy some silk ribbon. I got mine for a few dollars at the fabric store but I would love to invest in the ones from this lovely shop at some point since they are plant dyed. It’s important to buy silk because of the way it hangs. Then put it in your hair! You can use it in a braid, a half updo, or in your ponytail. Also here is a cute way to store your ribbons.
I realize that I’m 27 and that “hair ribbons” are typically reserved for little girls but I just think they are so whimsical and sweet and I’ve decided that I like them. Need convincing? Look at how adorable Bridget Bardot looks here. Or how chic is Alex Chung in this photo? Still not convinced? Fine, here’s Audrey Hepburn with a ribbon in her hair when she’s an adult. You can find them in art too. Now go get yourselves some silk ribbons! 😉
For reference I bought a little over a yard of silk. If you’re interested in seeing a post on how to braid in a ribbon just let me know in the comments and I’ll create one. 🙂 And if you liked this post please share it or pin it! Thanks!
Cute idea! And I love the look of the new blog 😀
Thanks girl! I always appreciate your support. <3 Love you!
I love wearing ribbons in my hair! I’d love to know how to do the braid one though, since for the life of me I can’t figure out how to do it in my hair. XD
How do you like to wear yours? Okay! It’s super easy so I’ll put up a tutorial here sometime. 🙂
I just tie it all back into a bow. It’s not as tight as a ponytail, so you can still see some of my hair from the front (which I like!). 🙂
Oh I love that! It’s very Belle (from Beauty & the Beast). 🙂
That’s half the reason I do it! She’s always been my favorite princess. XD
Great idea! I absolutely love the look of it in the braid, it is beautiful! And if Audrey Hepburn did it, I’ll have to give it a try 😉 Definitely picking some up my next trip to the fabric store! Xo
It will look so chic on you! I can’t wait to see what colors you choose. I got a cream one, this pink one, and a larger width one that is a vibrant fuchsia color. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by beautiful! xxx
