I confess, throwing my hair into a bun was my go-to I'm-having-a-particularly-bad-hair-day hairstyle. It was easy -- great for class, the beach, eating... I didn't think about it and a mirror was not required to achieve the "easy" look. One day, a close friend complimented, "I really like your ballerina bun. It's chic." This was the first time I really thought about my bun as a fashion statement. Now ballerina buns, messy bedhair buns, and top knots are showing up in all sorts of fashion editorials and on the streets. 

The consensus: Be conscious of your bun! ~
