That bun looks great and I like your approach to positioning the sticks. I think the lighter colors are more suitable for casual wear. The question is, can you/will you wear these in public? Here in Ottawa, Canada I've been wearing my hair in a bun for months. I recently added hairsticks. Not one comment or overt stare. I once caught a woman trying to sneak a peak at my hairsticks around the shelves at the bookstore (at least that's what I *think* she was doing).

Thanks Bikerbraid for your complements.

Gollan;

I wore this to the Texas Roadhouse restaurant on that day. We live in a VERY conservative area! The front half of the parking lot was reserved for Harleys. I got not one single adverse comment. I think I got a lot of attention though. I think the servers (mostly women) were fascinated; not sure but I think so.

I love rattling the cage a little; you know! Shame on me!!

That's a "messy" bun?  LOL!  You should mine :x

I think they look great!  Of course, I might be a little prejudiced O:)
