LUXE LOCKS: “The Beehive”

It’s Friday here at Simply Modeste and today is all about HAIR! Today’s feature is all about one of my FAVORITE hairstyles of the 60’s — The Beehive!

It’s iconic in itself, but in my family it was THE go-to hairstyle for everyone — my grandmother, her sisters, even mini-beehives on my mom and aunt as young as they were. Looking through photographs my favorites were always of them all dolled up ready for church with their vintage suits and their beehive bouffants.

So when I saw modern takes on my favorite vintage hairstyle popping up everywhere I knew exactly what today’s LUXE LOCKS feature would be about. Here are my DO’s and DONT’s to make sure this modern take on a vintage classic turns out sleek and chic and not a costume flop.

If I Had Bought That Skirt…

I kept trying for the past week or so to figure out what to write and share with you this week. I happen to be driving down the road to work when a memory popped into my head…

There I was in the third store of the day with my mother, trying as I might, to find an outfit for a conference coming up. Being the picky fashionista I am, every slide of the hangers on the metal racks left another unsatisfied look on my face. Then as I turned a corner, my eyes happen to glance to my left. That’s when I saw it — the perfect skirt! I think that’s what Thomas Edison must have felt like when he finally discovered electricity — after countless agonizing tries I finally found what I had been searching for! It was a rose pink stretch satin with a black crochet lace overlay pencil skirt — absolutely beautiful.
