Wear A Stylish Hat
We’re not saying you should grab your most stylish, outfit-matching hat whenever you’re in a rush or having a bad hair day – but if you did, nobody would ever notice, as they’d be admiring your fashion sense!
Big Vintage Curls
This is another entry inspired by the one & only Marilyn Monroe. Everything vintage is back in fashion, and we couldn’t be happier! If you’re a fan of the above-mentioned Marilyn Curls, but your blonde hair is slightly longer, opt for this equally stunning and looser version.
