I've done that before too, and wow. So. Awkward. Your tanks look great, and though you say your humid hair looks cray cray, I think it looks awesome. Very pretty (for reals). I am almost inspired to make myself a tank. I just usually have a hard time wearing something that isn't fitted.

I soon realized how CRAZYcakes it was to put my hair UP for the photoshoot -- I had to practically dislocate my shoulders to keep from dragging the tanks over my hair as I was pulling them on and off. That's why the bun slowly disintegrates from the start of the shoot to the finish.
