Lookbook: Headband

 I rarely wear my hair completely up but fun hair embellishments like this headband really inspired me to try it out!  Goody sent over a package of cute hair accessories and I had a ball playing with them all.  I normally would not have picked up this headband but I tried it on and really liked the color against my hair.  I ended up putting my hair back in a bun with the spin pins (love them!) and held the rest of my hair back with the cute headband.  I have giant head syndrome though when I wear headbands like this as it kind of gave me a headache after awhile but when I tweeted about my headband aches many of you chimed in with the same thing so I don't feel so bad!

I ordered this sweater from Forever 21 and it was one of those things that I wanted to return but it was so cheap that it was not worth the hassle of going to the store to return it so I kept it and worked with it.  I liked that it was a short sleeve sweater, since I'm always cold I figured it would be a good top to wear in the Seattle summers where it's nice but still windy.  The sweater it actually a bit more boxy than I'd like and it doesn't really work with someone who's short and apple shaped like I am.  To solve the problem from it making me look even wider in the midsection I added the fitted striped tank underneath to give it some depth and take away from the boxy-ness.  It's definitely a different look for me as I tend to dress for my body shape - I try to elongate my short midsection - and this outfit was kind of the opposite but I think it still worked and I may not stray from boxy sweaters as I usually do.

I turned the camera around and got a shot of my photographer's awesome shoes and his little helpers! :)

Forever 21 Ultra Relaxed Knit Top

I actually think this one is a cuter shape than mine. I love this coral color and it comes in a pretty yellow too. The Relaxed Scoop Neck Sweater is a slimmer and more fitted. Or you could probably do the same type of look with this Purl Knit Top.

J.Crew Perfect-fit henley tank

Similar and on sale for $14.99!

Also love the Wave Tank with the stripes going at different angles which would look cute underneath a sweater.  Or the Sequin-stripe tank is adorable and on sale for $25!

J Crew Matchstick Jean

J Crew and Madewell denim is pretty on par with each other.  The only difference that I've found is that J Crew runs a bit bigger while Madewell is more true to size.  I think this outfit would look cute with the Matchstick Jeans in white too.

Miu Miu Suede Peep Toe Pumps

I'm slightly obsessed with the Miu Miu fall collection and their quirky shaped shoes.  The heel is so weird but cute at the same time!  The same with the Leather platform versions which I'm so tempted to get!  5 inch heel!  I'd be TALL! :)  The favorite part of my pumps is the ruffle detailing on the back and the Vince Camuto 'Momas' Corset Back Suede Pump is the "look for less" version of my pumps. They pretty much look exactly the same!

 Goody Pearlized Shell Headwrap

It's not available online but you can find them at Target.

If you are wondering about my jewelry, the necklace is vintage, bracelets by Jewelmint, bangles by J Crew and the watch is Rolex.
