Ode to a top knot

I wear my hair up.  All. The. Time.  I never wear it down.  I have a lot of hair and it's just so heavy!  I have it layered so it's better than it would be in it's natural state, but still.  I also hate the feeling of hair in my face.  So up it goes.  Lately I've been rocking the top knot.  It's just easy, out of the way and it only takes three things (see below).

Photo source unknown.  Pinterest takes me to a random tumblr account that's no longer around, so...sorry source.  And I can't take a picture of the back of my head to save my life, so this is what you get.

A pony and two small bobbi pins (found at Target - half the size of regular bobbi's and I adore them).
