I think that looks really nice, you maybe could use a little bit of pomade/gel/wax/something to hold the curls a bit more?  And if it was me, I'd put the knot on my bandanna over to one side or the other, but that's just my preference :)

While its not a 50's style, finger waves look really nice on short hair. Here is a great tutorial.
