FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Headband's Ball.

I was checking out the wedding section on Etsy and I came across this sweet little headband. The "headband on brides" trend seems to be very "in" and if you're going to go that way, I love this headband above because it has some lace as a "nod" to a veil but also manages to be its own interesting item.

ETSY: A Star Is Born

I like this headband because the main event - the gunmetal star - seems to just be floating on her head...but it's not! It's fastened securely by a headband. No worries of it becoming loose, or falling off because you're dancing too hard!

I love the design of the star...it's very unique, and one of a kind (i.e. worth every penny!)

All Tied Up In The Head

Ten dollars is bordering on too much for a silk headband, so I'm not sure how Anthropologie justified making it $32.00 in the first place. However, the neutral color, plus the fact that it's silk, make this particular tie headband a good buy.

It's definitely a headband on the more casual side, but there is a good chance you can wear this with something dressy in an effort to dress it down.

The nude tone will match everything. Hooray for things that match everything!

Color Me Stylish

I've posted Holly Hargrove feather headbands and clips before, and I'm posting this one today because I get more compliments on her head accessories than any other items of clothing I own. Without fail, every time I wear her stuff out, I just get a ton of compliments.

Her headbands are unusual, eye catching, and very colorful. Perfect accent pieces for when you head out for a Friday or Saturday night.

Since all of her stuff is made to order, if you wanted a clip instead of a headband, I am sure it wouldn't be too much trouble.

Ruffle Your Feathers

I'm sure you've noticed that these days, everyone is wearing feathers.  They are on earrings and dresses and headbands.  I am not against feathers generally, but too often people think that any bunch of feathers slapped on to just any headband in any arrangement is ok to wear with anything you want.  

This is TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!  

It has to be the RIGHT arrangement of feathers.  You can't have too many, you can't have too few!  And you have to have the RIGHT embellishments.  And you can't have the wrong combination of feather colors.  Like you don't want peacock feathers with a red rosette, otherwise you'll look like some sort of homage to Christmas themed birds.

I can't tell you how many feather headbands I looked through to find one I really liked.  And then when I found this one featured here, I found that the creator, Holly G. Hargrove, had a good understanding of how to best work with feathers.  Her Etsy page is full of wonderful feather headbands.

This wonderfully classy accent piece is only $10.00 ($5 shipping).  Wear it to jazz up a white t-shirt and jeans.

Don't Be Shy, Stand Out In That Crowd

ATTACK OF THE GIANT FLOWER HEADBANDS! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!

Be not alarmed by the size of the flower attached to this headband. It is meant to be that big.

It is meant to get noticed.

It is meant to be the conversation of your dinner party.

It is meant to get you off a long line for a hot bar ahead of everyone else.

Why? Because wearing a headband with such a big flower screams "I HAVE CONFIDENCE!" Everyone can wear this kind of headband...it just takes some courage!

And at $4.80, shouldn't you give it a try?

When you are standing in the mirror with the headband on, just keep chanting "yes we can!" till you walk out of your house.
