I just impulse-bought a hair piece for the wedding—oops! Sure, I’m still deciding whether or not to wear a veil, and yeah, I have no idea what I want to do with my hair yet. But whatever it is, I really hope I can work this in!

I spotted it on Etsy in the Hanami Gallery shop a couple of months ago. I bookmarked it, and I’ve been peeking at it every so often. It’s made from obi silk that the seller bought in Japan, and it’s a one-of-a-kind item, so I was really afraid that if I waited, someone else would snatch it up. Anyway, the vintage rhinestone pin, the gold and silver thread, the vaguely dahlia-reminiscent shape…I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I bought it! It was $78, which isn’t horrible. If I absolutely can’t make it work with my dress, I’ll work it into a shower or rehearsal-dinner outfit. I’ll wear it at some point, I swear!

Does anyone else have impulse-buying issues?

I impulse-bought 3 different hair accessories off of ETSY. Hopefully I can wear them at some point. If not, i’ll try to sell or gift them!

I ended up buying a lot of different accessories and didn’t decide which ones to wear until the day before the wedding. I love the color and subtle sparkle of your hair piece! Can’t wait to see how you work it into your wedding/ pre-wedding!

That brooch is absolutely beautiful…maybe pin it to a purse or hat to make a statement if u can’t find the right dress..I’d go to J Crew to look for a special occasion dress that would go with it, nice find!

It is very pretty. Etsy is very addicting when it comes to accessories. I made the mistake of buying the hair piece I tried on when I found my dress. I regretted it soon after since I did not know what I was going to do with my hair either. Too bad I did not see the NO RETURN policy at that store. I know I just got caught up in the moment. grrrrr. I am going to see if I can use it if not, well, Im sure it wont be the first (or last thing) I buy that wont be incuded in our celebration.

Double cute, Miss P!
I don’t have an impulse buy problem. . . yet. . . but all of the sudden I keep wanting to buy things “for the wedding” or just because I think I need them ;-). You know how it goes.

I have a huge impulse buying problem, but sometimes it turns out to be a good thing! If it weren’t for my impulse buys of things that could possibly be in the wedding decor we may have been without centerpieces!
