Statement headpiece

Accessories and i have a sordid past. I go through phases where i'm all about them, and then next thing you know i'm shunning them altogether for a minimalist look.
At one point the rage of the moment for me was wearing a belt, and between my friend Kristen and i we had 86,000 of them, my favorite one being- get ready for this- a braided metallic granny belt with the most horrible shiny gold buckle. I also recall a mini-chain belt with ribbon ties, the likes of which would probably be worn by Kupono from SYTYCD.

These days i generally rely on a pair of dangly earrings to dress things up, but at a recent birthday dinner for two of my friends, i decided to trade the big earrings for a bold headband instead- i was pleased with the result!




You can make your own statement with one of these cute headbands from Urban Outfitters ($14.99) or Fred Flare ($14).

  1. Remember how my 2 favs were those turquoise and silver metalic skinny belts! I wore those with EVERYTHING! Also, don't forget the Susan belt...

    The other big phase we went through... Chunky Necklaces! I'm sure we had 3 times more of those than belts!!
