Halo Braid Envy

Okay, I'll admit; that headpiece I'm wearing in the previous post image is the result of the fact that I've been dying to find a way to try out the 30s hairstyle which I've dubbed the "halo braid."  Clearly, because shorter hair was de rigeur, the "halo braid" style obviously required the aid of a hair piece.  I'm not big on the idea of pinning a hair braid (real or synthetic) atop my crown to get this look, so the braided headpiece seems like a fun alternative.  Still, Ginger Roger makes this style look like "HEAVEN, " though in this clip, I think her "braid" is actually more rolled.  In either case, there's no question that this was an extremely ubiquitous hairdo in the 1930s! Okay, I'm off to pout and to rethink my evening now that it seems we won't be roasting marshmallows over a campfire until tomorrow night (fingers crossed the whole weekend isn't a wash out!).
