    Great job! I esp. love the French hood (is your hair 'fryssed' aka curled? it looks so good) & the trim & jewelry are the perfect finishing touch.

      Thanks, Trystan! If you like it, I feel accomplished! Actually my hair looks like that from just drying naturally. I'm so glad it looked right!!
