the messy bun.
A blog I love to look to for inspiration is A Beautiful Mess! I wanted to try her messy bun (from here) combined with a sock bun tutorial I saw on pinterest (here).
My hair is super thin so I wanted it to look more full by adding in the sock! My hair also naturally has the “messy look” so I am not going to lie… you could kind of see the sock between the two! So I chose a fun argyle one to make it look like a hair accessory and a combo of these two tutorials actually made me look like I had full, thick hair!

Casey you're just so beautiful! I hope you are really soaking up the lovely time in California! I lived in SO. Cal. For awhile and really missed the stars. You know, the ones in the sky (heehee) . Nothing like the big skies of Texas to show you how BIG our God really is. (yes I've lived almost everywhere).

Well isn't that just about the coolest thing around? I've never heard of the sock messy bun.
Loves it! Messy buns rule my world. If I had to wear my hair down everyday, I'd go crazy!

i found this tutorial came too late because i chopped all my hair off…therefore no bun. BUT! it looks amazing on you and the cute patterned sock Casey-fied it! 😉
October 15th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
Thanks Casey! I'm sportin' a Messy Bun today. I've had Messy Buns before, with my curly/frizzy hair, but I've never pinned it like this before, never knew. 🙂

Oh, I used to play with my grandmothers hair rat. That is what used to be used where you are using the sock, to roll the hair over.
October 16th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
Love it!!
