Everyone was so helpful when I was doing my week with no buns last week, I thought I'd ask for your expertise again.

Boyfriend and I are celebrating an anniversary tonight. We are having fancy dinner, then going out on a short cruise on Lake Michigan.

I'm wearing a black and white dress with red belt, and planning on wearing this headband:

Note: I now have straight across/blunt bangs (that are getting a little long) and no nose ring.

In exchange for assisting me, I promise to post pictures :P

I think that headband would look adorable with a bun, or even a low side-bun. Since your hair is wavy, you may even be able to do the wave pin-up bun, where you twist and bobby-pin separate pieces of hair below the ear to make a curly/wavy bun. Or, you could always simply do a sock-bun, and pull some strands loose around your face :). Either way, I'm feeling bun. There's a bazillion good bun tutorials on YouTube.

ETA: Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTk_IizSC0w) a good tutorial for a sidebun. Notice the accent flower, except yours would be on top, not on the bun :).

ETA2: You do not have to tease/hairspray as she does. I've done it without :p.

Thank you! I went with a high sock bun. I'm pretty happy with how it looks, nice and classy. Pics to come!
