Hair. You can have ugly hair, but as long as you put something pretty in it, we forgive you. Let’s start with the stuff you can’t afford…

BeBe:

This girl is thinking, “I’m so Vogue”. And she is. If you wear a solid color anything with it, you’ll look like a magical princess (who isn’t trying too hard). $49.



$39. I like this, but it has its downfalls… or one, I should say. It’s like a brown and black spotted band. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for mixing it up and breaking the rules, but when it comes to a hair piece, that complicates things. I know that you could wear it with all black and everyone can just take a sigh of relief, but if they just made the stupid band one solid color, life would be much simpler.

Anthropologie:

We’ve all seen this a hundred times, but there’s a reason for it. It’s beautiful, and you can wear it with a dress or jeans, daytime or night! That’s why. One problem, it’s $38. You could buy the freaking dress itself for that. Luckily this will get a lot of wear and no tear, for 38 freaking dollars.

This is a little different, it’s just a clip, but it’s only $32. It’s as if you went rummaging through your grandma’s closet but actually found something that was still intact and doesn’t smell like mothballs!

If I can afford this- you can:

Free People, only $18. She’s thinking, “Oh, hi, didn’t see you there. What’s that? No, I’m not going to a funeral even though I have black mesh in my hair. I’m just fabulous”.

$16, Urban Outfitters. It’s simple and you can wear it with any color. Who doesn’t want a garden growing out of their scalp? The metal part may bring it down a notch in the must-have factor, since you’re going to wear this for 10 minutes and get a headache. But let she who hasn’t worn something painful for beauty cast the first dollar. That didn’t make sense. You get it.

Look! It’s only an $8 Anthropologie headband! Tricked you. It’s from Forever21, but it’s pretty much the Tia to the Tamara $38 version. Although anything from Forever21 may break at any time, you will at least get some wear out of it- and for 8 bucks, totally worth it.

It’s hot, admit it. It’s a zipper on a headband, making absolutely no sense whatsoever, but that’s why we like it. Only $4 dollars from Forever21.
