Headbands Make Me Feel Cute

I'm in love with headbands right now. I've been for a while, but since I've been pregnant and my rings no longer fit and long necklaces look odd against my belly, my favorite thing is to wear accessories in my hair.

I usually wear one on the weekend when I want to feel pretty -- it's an instant pick-me-up. And LuminousMom makes some really cute headbands and really great prices!

Sold on Etsy, LuminousMom -- aka Kristen -- makes an Ecofelt Flower Headband ($12.50) in many color combinations. Love how the blue and white looks against her blonde hair.

Or you can also go with a solid color of your choice like this Eco Felt and YoYo Flower Headband ($12.50). I want this one!

Set on an elastic band, they are one size fits all and as Kristen says, can also be worn as a necklace, wrapped around your wrist, to secure a ponytail in place...and many other creative uses.

So pretty!

What color or color combination would you buy?

thanks for featuring them Michele :) I made a bunch for myself shaped like leaves and I've been wearing them this fall, people flip over the leaf ones so I think I need to get some up in the shop!

Love them, I've seen those pics before and think they are so cute!! I stopped wearing handbands because as lame as this sounds I can't figure out how to keep them on my head. They all slip right to the back and I end up looking like I'm wearing a yamaka..LOL.

Headbands..not handbands..duh, sorry.

lol Katie that happens to me with the wide band fabric cotton kind.. I sewed a bunch thinking I could pull it off but my head must be too small or something because they always slide off. These ones stay put because they hug my head tighter but I wish I could pull off the other kind that arent stretchy all the way around.

Yep those are the kind that I wear, I LOVE how they look on other people but I just can't keep them on my head. I may have to buy some of yours then.
