But how very different from the updos 7 years ago! I loved that I was able to dance and not feel sweaty on my neck. My hair was totally together so I never had to push it aside.

Why did G...Ah, and there we have it: Grace Kelly. <br /><br />Why did GK look so great? Because it was SIMPLE. <br /><br />http://blog.netrobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/blog.netrobe-1.jpeg<br /><br />Her hair is timeless because she didn't have insane curls or twirls or confetti. <br /><br />If someone selects a look which involves an hour's worth of curling iron and gel, of course her updo will look ridiculous. Trying too hard always looks ridiculous. <br /><br />I just have to references my sister's 1990 yearbook as proof. My mother put her foot down - my sister was the only one who had a simple blowout. The rest . . . oy. <br /><br />So, that's why not trying to hard usually looks okay. Slightly messy and casual hair will hopefully succeed, since one is not opting for a trend, but rather to underwhelm. <br /><br />But those photos were awesome. In a sad way. Thank GOD is is no longer the 60s.

A well done updo tends to look attractively disheveled in the last photo...even a well done "down-do" tends to look...not so refined and elegant.<br /><br />Also, so long as you're staying away from certain accessories (the tiara in the 90's....) an updo tends to be much less "dated" than a down-do, because down-do's follow the hairstyle of the decade (big hair in the 80s...ironed 70's hair) whereas the classic chignon is forever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-45341184734435134672012-08-27T09:42:15.762-04:002012-08-27T09:42:15.762-04:00I'm also tall, with a longish face, and I hope...I'm also tall, with a longish face, and I hope a long neck. But whenever I wear my hair up in a pony people are like - Whoa! That looks good! as compared to when I wear it down. <br /><br />The photos I linked show not such serious dos - hair that is more loose and "romantic," not so stiff, with flattering tendrils and such, which tend to have a softening, youthful effect. <br /><br />Of course there are exceptions to most circumstances.Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-24848321163352523142012-08-27T03:45:52.222-04:002012-08-27T03:45:52.222-04:00Totally depends on the face type.

The updos I tried made me look too skinny, slightly aged, and weren't flattering at the least. I wore my hair down with minimum styling and it looked great. And I looked much younger than my 24 years - not a bad thing considering the groom looked terribly young due to being clean shaven...(I made him grow a bread IMMMEDIATELY after the wedding. His last shave was for the sheva brachot shabbat...)wellspringnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-8857439974430515102012-08-24T13:30:41.594-04:002012-08-24T13:30:41.594-04:00ZP: B"H have good hair.

So go figure. <br /><br />I would love to be able to wear flary skirts, but I can't - my body type is not meant for it. When it comes to fashion, it is not always about what one would like, but rather what works. <br /><br />I do not consider myself the master of the fashion universe, but there are plenty out there who still have to work the two.

For gamine, soft featured Natalie Portman/ Audrey Hepburn people- go ahead.
