So it's no secret that my Taylor Swift Problem is almost as big as my Anthropologie Problem. I love her music, her talent, and her style. I'm going to see her concert in June and am so excited! I've always loved her thing for pretty forehead headbands, like this:
I wanted to recreate it but have never had the guts (because headbands are gutsy? Weird, I know) because I felt like it would look like I just didn't know how to put on my headband. Well, last week I decided, to heck with it, I'm going to be Taylor Swift for the day and actually leave my house! I also wanted to bring out my long-coveted-and-recently-acquired-for-only-thirty-dollars Tiered Rush Dress. The end result was this:
Tiered Rush Dress, Flushed Beauty Headband, Zodiac Heirloom Necklace, Looping Lanes Belt, Luminous Boots (Anthropologie)
Socks: Francesca's
(I know, I know: I wear this necklace way too much. Blame my space nerdery. I don't buy into astrology, but I like it as a story, and I do love the constellations and strongly identify with Gemini.)
I love this dress, and I'm so glad that I was able to help someone else (hi Elizabeth from the Trade Market) find one, too!
Overall, I thought this look worked out okay, and I enjoyed pretending like I lived in a Taylor Swift album for the day. I'll probably be trying out this trend again soon. What do you think? Should headbands stay on the top of your head, or is this trend a fun way to change things up?
love your gutsy headband! and i just read your post on stuff jewish girls like. i ADORE charleston. i live in the upstate and you nailed how great charleston is.
ReplyDeleteI love regular headbands and forehead headbands on other people, but I hate how they look on me. My hair never looks right when they're on and it doesn't help that they make me look like I'm 12 :/ I definitely think you should give it another try in the future :)
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot. I really wish that sort of style was more popular. I actually wrote a novel where coronets and singlets, etc were SUPER fashionable for men and women. You'd fit right in! :D
ReplyDeletethat dress looks great on you! I don't think I could pull off this headband look, but I think you look adorably 60's.

So cute! That dress is adorable, and so great with those boots! The headband is so pretty. Maybe try it with your hair over your ears, like in the photo of Taylor? (I have a bad habit of tucking my hair behind my ears, and I hate how it makes me look in photos, so I'm working on it!) I love how you used Taylor for inspiration to try something that you had been hesitant to try before!
