Today I decided I wanted to do something different with my hair, so I went to my Hair-Inspiration bookmark folder and looked at all the hairstyles I had saved. Then I came upon this seemingly easy and pretty twisty ponytail a lo Blair Waldorf and decided to give it a try:

I almost managed to pull this hairdo perfectly, but not quite. The problem is that having lots and lots of layers in your hair makes ALL hairstyles messy and untamed. But you know what? I kind of like how it looks messy and untamed... it makes the ponytail sexier and more effortless.

If you want to give this hairstyle a try, just click HERE. Also, if you do try it, feel free to send me a pic of your hairdo-attempt at thejoyoffashion (at) hotmail (dot) com. I would love to see it!

Here are all the ways in which I've worn this purple maxi dress:
