Lately I’ve been on a hair accessory binge [read: raiding the CVS hair accessory aisle] which is funny to think about, because the last time I wore a bevy of bobby pins and hair clips was when I rockin’ Limited Too apparel in the 6th grade. Well, gone are the days of neon barretts and glitter pompon clips. This season I am all about the chic updos and low-dos, but we can’t accomplish those without a little help from the basics. Whether you prefer casual ponytails and bobby pins or you like to dress up your ‘do for the office or special events, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite hair accessories (and found a couple new discoveries). What are your can’t-live-without hair accessories?
