Recent Etsy Purchase...

I've mentioned it before but for those of you new followers I'd like to state that I am cheap to a fault sometimes.For a very long time I've been lamenting over needing stretching headbands to wear,especially at night when I wash my face,put on mask,creams and all that other beauty jazz that comes with being a lady.My decorative ones just were not cutting it.Bangs can be just a pain sometimes.

I'd go to the store and see some but they were too wide and I couldn't quite bring myself to pay the $4 for one.It seemed like a rip off,its just a stretchy piece of fabric.Fortunately I stumbled across
AccessoryAddiction on etsy!For $5.00 I got 7 headbands!What I was looking for and for cheap,deadstock AND vintage?Check and mate!

They work great for getting my bangs out of my face and also for days like I'm having today...you know those lovely days as a mother when you and your hair realize it needs a shower but the kids don't.I like that I can use these as an alternative to my scarves for those days and pull off a 60's-ish do with them.I love my scarves but I feel like when I wear them my husband sees me in them now and is just like "hey you must need to wash your hair",Ha!

  3. 7 for $5 is a deal! And multiple colors!? Score! When my hair gets overly greasy and a wash isnt in the cards for me I throw it in a ponytail and pretend I meant it to look this way.

    I get the same 'you're wearing a headscarf because you need to wash your hair' look but I don't have motherhood as an excuse!
