Daily Threads: About A Headband

{J Crew Floral Tank (similar), Merona Black CardiganTarget Black Skinny Pants (similar), Isaac Mizrahi T-Strap Pumps (similar)}

Husband and I went out and about today. We drove around and looked at neighborhoods, had a lunch date in Costco, and went to the grocery store to pick out steaks to grill tonight. Maybe I look really cool or maybe I look really weird - whichever the case, I received more stares today than what I'm completely comfortable with. Husband said I looked cool - so I'm going with that one. 

I was going to wear this headband like a regular headband (ex.). As I began to put it on, I kind of stopped in mid-action, husband saw how it looked, and really approved. So I left it like this. I love seeing headbands worn this way, but I've never done it - I actually thought husband would call me weird, but turns out, he likes it! He really likes it! 

Also, I look washed out in the pictures - I know that. Apparently at a particular time of day, at a particular place, with a flash... you can really look washed out. See above. 

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

I've ALWAYS wanted to rock a headband like that! Kudos for having the guts to just go for it.

I have no idea why people would be staring at you weirdly? You look wonderful. I really like your top, and the headband like that is super cute. I am always suprised when my boyfriend approves of something I thought he'd hate. Its nice though!

Love the shoes!!! And I'm sure people were staring because you were the only lady in the grocery store not wearing sweats :))

Elissa said...

Maybe people were staring because they were jealous of how awesome you looked! I love your hair worn that way. And hose shoes are so darn cute.

Looks great on you!

Love this look - from the headband to the slim fitting black pants & ruffly pink top, you look great! Definitely you'd be getting a "woah that girl looks cool" stare from me (in a totally non creepy way, I promise).

I love how you wore the headband. Does it stay in place like that?
I know for sure that my hubby would make some type of negative comment if I wore a headband like that...but I always ignore him anyways.
I'm very impressed that your hubby is so open minded about fashion!!

I've always been tempted to wear my headbands like that. You really pull the look off! It always helps when I get approval from my fiance if I'm trying something different, lol.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the thank! The color is absolutely beautiful.

I like how your husband actually cares [my bf wouldn't take a second glance].. so cute! I really approve also. It looks really good on you! Definitely different, but maybe people just aren't used to it.

Bella said...

Hi,
I just recently found your blog and really like your style. I wanted to confess that I like your shoes so much that I tracked them on ebay. Thanks for the idea!

Tara said...

The headband looks good! I love wearing mine that way too.

srochellephotography said...

I wouldn't worry one bit about extra stares, they were probably just in awe of how adorable you look! Your headband looks great that way, a little vintage but not over the top :)
