Silk ribbons

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!
