It’s Friday, everyone, and I’m letting my hair done… literally. You may have noticed in all the pictures of me all over this blog, that I almost never wear my hair down. I always wear it half up (and teased, moderately snooki style). It’s a style I have worn for years and years and it’s my comfort zone. Since I have been growing my hair out in the past months I have been trying to push myself to wear my hair down at least twice a week. I’ve never liked to wear it down because a) I’m not used to it and I think I look weird and b) I have really thin hair and it goes flat and limp. My half up hairstyle with teasing and massive amounts of hairspray pretty much ensures the latter never happens. Nonetheless, I am trying to get used to it.
When I was looking at all of the runway shows from Fashion Week for Spring 2011, The hair at the Rodarte show caught my eye. Ever since then I have been thinking I should emulate their hair someday. This morning I was inspired to try the look. It pretty much entails wispy, teased, full hair with straight ends and some cute barrettes for flair.
Here is Rodarte’s look:

Here’s my non-professional interpretation:
(please ignore weird strands gone rogue, my photographer didn’t do a very good job styling me…)
what do you think? should I let my hair down more often?
And come on, somebody else out there must have a signature do they can’t seem to part with?!!
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like it! So soft and feminine. Do it often.
Yes, it looks great down! And I’m the exact opposite, I hate wearing mine up.
Love the boots as well.
I think Susan is right, it’s very feminine and natural – looks great Tara, embrace those natural curls / body!! Works with this outfit too! ;)
You are so very pretty any way you wear your hair…and…I love it down.
Nice change!
love it – suits you very well!
So cute, Tara! This ‘do is adorable on you. I am loving your posts. I always go with the side part, hair down. Nothing too risky…but today I’m wearing my hair in a ‘top knot’…your earlier post and subsequent magazine spreads totally inspired me. xx

Tara, I love your interpretation of the Rodarte hairstyle! You look great! I love the hair, I love the outfit, I love those boots! Superb! ;)
