Etsy Headband Fun

I wouldn't call myself a "hat person," but I definitely have a few basic hats to add an extra punch to my outfits or hide a bad hair day. When it comes to head wear, most of the time I prefer tying a scarf doo rag-style around my head (Sometimes you just want to feel like a pirate), or wearing some sort of beautiful headband. Still, browsing Etsy always involves some serious ooh-ing and aaah-ing over glorious hat creations. I admire their veils, their shapes, their jewels, but I would never buy one. I'm not one for oppulent or complex hats. Oppulent or complex headbands, on the other hand, are another story. Check out these beauties! They kinda remind me of the beautiful Beth Beverly combs featured over at Style Bytes. Only cheaper. And not combs. But now I'm just rambling, and I'm sure all you wonderful people are waiting to see the goods. I'll stop rambling, I think. Although once I get into it, it's kinda addictive...

Shut up, Kori!

Okay, now here are my headband finds. For real this time.

Cool, eh? I like the one with the colored feathers. It's quite fabulous.

All of the headbands are from this cute little Etsy shop, Birdbaths.

New Dress, DIY Headband

I have a new summer dress. It's a gently used Soundgirl dress I bought it off of Ebay for $16, including the $7 shipping fee. Not bad, eh? I love it! You can't see in the picture, but the print is little pink hearts that look sort of like flowers with green stems on a white background. The color scheme of the pattern reminded me of the dress on the cover of the most recent Lula magazine, so I felt a sudden urge to wear the Erin Featherston flower headband shown on the cover with my new purchase. Of course, that wasn't an option. Instead, I used a broken pearl/clear bead necklace and a piece of thin, flexible wire to make a headband. I wrapped the ends of the wire around the ends of the broken necklace and ended up with a headband that mildly resembled the Erin Featherston one. I quite like it.



There are three things I feel required to do in this ensemble:
1) Go to a wedding
2) Frolick barefoot in the grass
3) Have a tea party

I feel all festive now. Maybe I should go accomplish task #3?
