Taking Inspiration from Katniss

Today I decided to try out the hairstyle that Jennifer Lawrence sported during most of her screen time as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. I had been meaning to try it out since I saw the movie in theaters (over a year ago...) but I just never got around to it until today.

I did it in about five minutes, maybe even less, without a mirror to check how it looked until I was done. I must say, it ended up looking pretty good. Easy, and it kept my hair from falling out of the braid, like it normally does.

Here's the back! This is the best picture that I was able to get of it. I tried out the mirror, which is how I got the next two pictures, but I was having a lot of problems actually taking pictures of my hair. #selfieproblems?

This one is kind of hard to see, but I think it gives the clearest view of how the hairstyle works from the back.

This one is a lot more clear, but it doesn't show as much. Still, it gives an idea of what it looked like.

Of course, it all probably looked a lot better at seven in the morning when I first did it, instead of nine at night when I took the pictures, but I didn't have time to take pictures before I left for work.

Please ignore how messy the bathroom is. I didn't have a better mirror to take the pictures in, and the bathroom is storing some of my clothes...
