Okay, so I have a little story about my first time trying to do a sock bun. Let's just say it took me about 5 times to get it to look like this {aka somewhat decent}. Jesus, it was not an easy thing to do, who knew it was that hard. Well it might have been easier for me if I actually took the time to look at the instructions on Pinterest {here}. Yeah, I after trying multiple times I realized that I did it wrong. Of course there is a much easier way to do a sock bun! Well you live and learn. And folks sometimes it is just better to look at instructions. Lesson learned.
Another thing to note is this super cute plaid flannel from J Crew. Maybe you saw this shirt {Boy shirt in blue vintage camp flannel} during fall/winter in the women's department for $78.00? Well, the same exact shirt was offered in the little boys department in Crew Cuts not only for less, but also on sale {at the time of purchase}. Crew cuts price + sale + employee discount = $14.95 {ish}...SCORE! First of all if you are petite, browse through the boys clothing {size 10-14}. Honestly, they may fit you better than women's. It is so worth it to try because the garment that may be be a similar style to a women's piece will be much less and it may fit better.
