Lingering in the Past ~ Outfit Twenty Seven

Last week I watched Fleur’s video tutorial on 1940s Victory Rolls and knew that I really wanted to give it a go because it looked so easy!

Husband {formerly known as DH, or Dear Husband ~ but I am not sure if anyone got the reference of the initials, so now he is just Husband.  : D } and I were going out yesterday night so I thought I would try a Victory Roll hair style for then as I had all afternoon to get it right.
Turns out I just about needed all afternoon because Victory Rolls are not easy!!    > <   Plus, I do not think it helps to have layered, curly hair.   : S    Anyway, please excuse the amateur hairstyle; I definitely need to practise more.

I love this old building ~ the details and style is fantastic.  It is just up the street from the hotel we are staying in.  When Husband and I were walking past it one evening I said I wanted to loiter in the doorway.   He knew exactly what I meant ~ outfit shots!

Perth has amazing architecture tucked away all over the city; I often stop just to look at the wonderful detail that you do not find on the buildings in Canberra.  Our city is too new.  : (  Still, it is nice to travel around and find that sort of thing else where.

Close up of the Victory Rolls.   I only did two ~ one on each side, but I pulled my fringe out before I did the left hand roll and let it curl in front.  I think that it suits me to have loose hair around my face ~ I do not like having it all pulled back, so I will probably keep doing my hair this way when I do Victory Rolls. 

Although I might have to figure out something different if I decide to pin the back half up too.  ….Hmm. 

Also on my list of “To Try” is pin curls ~ I am very interested to see if they will work in my hair with it being so curly already!  I would love to find a way to set the natural curl so it does not frizz after one day, so we will see if pin curls are the answer.
