Coming to Terms

December 18th, 2009 @ 1:28 pm by Mrs. Spaniel

You might not believe it from the sheer number of posts I’ve written about this, but I’m starting to come to terms with my follicular shortcomings. In fact, I’m starting to have a pretty good idea about what my hair should look like on game day, and although it’s not strictly necessary, I’m thinking it will involve a sparkly clip of some sort. I used to imagine I’d wear a flower in my hair, but I don’t think it’s the look I’m going for, after all.

I have a couple of criteria in mind. First, I’m looking for something around four inches wide—no dainty hair pieces for my ’do. Second, I’d like it to be sparkly rather than “organic” (that is, something that looks more like hair jewelry and less like a fabric flower). And third, I’d prefer it to have a gold tone rather than a silver one. Here are some pieces I’ve encountered that I would consider.

I’m not totally sure where or how I will wear my “hair jewelry” yet, but I’m pretty sure I will—if just to keep it interesting once the veil is off (I won’t be wearing the veil at the reception).

Which is your favorite? Or, do you have a better idea?

My boss turned me on to Sorrelli jewelry and I found this brooch that I think could be turned into a beautiful hair piece. The first one is my favorite!

I really like the first one! I wonder if Ulta would have something like those for a lot less. They have a full aisle devoted to hair accessories.

Oh man, I like both the first and the third one! I’ve definitely checked out Lulusplendor before too! I think you’ve got great choices, whatever you pick will be beautiful.

LOVE LuluSplendor! I have a hair comb from her that I got as a birthday gift and she is custom making me earrings and a necklace to match! She is super fun and easy to work with and is great with special requests.

I like the first one, especially for its orientation on the hair. You don’t see as many going vertically like that.
