Jessie’s Girl + Fishtail Braid Tutorial.

bloglovin

I don’t know why I just named this post Jessie’s girl. Maybe it’s because I’m listening to it
right now. Maybe that’s why. I’ll admit it. I’m embarrassing.

Today I am wearing Kai’s sweater. It seems like something Jessie’s girl would do. … “’cause
she’s watchin’ him with those eyes, and she’s lovin’ him with that body – I just know it.
And he’s holdin’ her in his arms late, late at night … and she’s wearing his sweater the
next day.” If there was an un-edited version of that song, that’s how it would go. For sure.

Second photo … Pantene commercial. Hire me. Or don’t. Because your shampoo is awful.

This sweater is a mens size large. With a belt and the sleeves rolled it makes the perfect
boyfriend sweater. I paired it with skinny jeans for that whole proportion thing. I guess
some people think that’s important … me being one of them.

I think I might be breaking some rules with this striped belt on top of the striped sweater
but I thought since the colors were neutral it wasn’t too offensive. Plus, this belt is elastic
and held the sweater in well.

my tiny, golden heart on a delicate chain. I love this necklace, but man, is it a pain to untangle.

I don’t think I’ve featured these earrings before. These were a gift from my freshman year
roommate at U of M. I definitely won the rooming blind lottery. Meena, you da, you da best.

Outfit Breakdown:
Sweater: Husband’s, Gap / Top: Target / Necklace: Adorn Me / Earrings: Middle Earth / Belt: Thrifted / Jeans: Gap / Boots: Gap / Purse: Vintage Dooney & Bourke

Just another way to wear clothes that aren’t yours. For you non-single ladies out there,
your wardrobe just expanded. Or you could always use Kendi’s strategy of how to
obtain a new, free sweater
. You’re welcome. Or maybe I’ll just make that another
thing to add to my “You can thank me later” list.

Speaking of thanking me later, I made a video on how to do a fishtail braid.

Yet another video disclaimer (I really should practice before Kai’s presses record): I don’t
know why I kept saying that I wore this on my blog “a couple of days ago” … it was yesterday.

Perhaps I was trying to make it seem like I wasn’t too eager to make a video. Kind of like
being fashionably late. “Yeah, I have better things to do that to show up on time … I’m
kind of a big deal.” Either way, there’s no denying it, I wore my hair this way yesterday. I
don’t have better things to do than to make videos. I’m not a big deal. Especially not
today since it was my day off.

Also, I ended this video very abruptly because Kai was motioning something to me and
I thought he was trying to say I was about to run out of time … when in reality he was
saying that I had one minute left. We need to work on our silent video communication.
We do pretty well when it comes to other forms of silent expression, eye rolls, sideways
looks, half smiles … but video communcation could definitely use some improvement.

Vimeo could also consider improving which “still” they choose of me. This is getting embarrassing.
This whole post is embarrassing. Oh, you thought I was cool? Sadly, I’m not. All those
above pictures are simply overcompensation … Hi, this is me.

Has anyone else wondered what Jessie’s girl’s actual name is? I hadn’t either. But I just
did. I’m not really a feminist, I’ll admit it … but c’mon … that girl’s got a name. Rick Springfield,
you’re rude. Yeah, that’s what I said.

Oh well, since everyone’s doin’ it …

- Kai’s girl.

p.s. Just realized that I was right in the beginning of the video. I didn’t wear a fishtail braid
yesterday. It WAS two days ago. Okay, you guys. I’m seriously losing it. This blog will
now serve as a log for the slow degradation of my brain. My blogging brain.

    Do NOT shrink my wool sweater. I actually wear that one, and it was expensive. What a nasty trick, Kendi!

    P.S. Love the still frame of your video ;)

    I love listening to your voice on your tutorials…and you do your hair so fast! Maybe you should consider cosmetology? I think you would be genius at it :)

  3. Katie W says:

    Excellent tutorial! I’ve seen this look in a few places and have been dying to try it! Thank you!

  4. Kyle says:

    Haha, you are still kind of a big deal in my eyes, don’t worry :)

    And you look very casual yet still pulled together, that’s a hard look to put together so nice work!

    My husband shrunk one of his own sweaters… he’s not allowed to do the wash anymore. But free J.Crew sweater for me! It’s now one of my favorites!

    And… fishtails bring me back to 6th grade! :-) I’ll need to rewear those!

  7. Kate says:

    I love this look… and I never realized fishtails were so easy! yay!!

  8. Allie says:

    You pull off the boyfriend style so well.
    And I actually really like that belt with the sweater! It might be breaking some kind of “fashion rule,” but who cares. It goes. (:
