Cargo

{Jacket: Daniel Rainn (TJ Maxx) | Jeans: Free People | Booties: DV | Bracelet: DY}

I love to wear black, there's no secret about that. I was really excited to find this amazing cargo jacket from TJ Maxx - great find, and also lightens up the black look!

The zipper detail is perfect, and really gives an edgy feel to this piece. I also added a simple braid to my hair. Sometimes, it's nice to just braid back your bangs and go for the day.

The "Bailey" Braid

This summer thanks to my bestie Bailey, I learned how to french braid. I love the smooth, yet edgy look that braids create, and the french braid is so classic and a cute! I had been wanting to learn how to french braid for a long time, but never knew how until Bailey taught me. Although not everyone has the luxury of an expert french braid friend like I do, I decided to post up a hair tutorial to show how its done!

{ Start with your hair a little messy and down }

{Separate the hair into a front section. Clip the rest of the hair back and out of the way.}

{Separate three front pieces and begin braiding normally. Each time you go to braid, draw a piece of hair not being used in your section and add it to the piece you are going to braid. I always think "braid, grab new, braid, grab new...and so on. Grab hair from the front and back.}

{See above, I am taking a new piece that is not being used and adding it to the piece I am going to braid.}

{Halfway there!}

{Secure your braid with a small hair tie.}

{Tightly wrap the braid around the side of your head, and secure with bobby pins.}

{Finished product!}
