Will you follow this trend?

Over the past year or so I've gotten very into headbands. Although I used to wear them fairly frequently as I sported the classic chin-length bob for most of my pre-teen and teen years, years had gone by without me wearing one even once! For a couple of years I had a Meg Ryan circa You've Got Mail shag which was rather trendy at the time, but definitely not a style conducive to headband-wearing! Now though, in every store I go I am always checking out the headbands and even made some myself for my Etsy store.

Recently, I've been seeing lots of feather headbands. I love this new one from J Crew:


I think it's a little less bold than this one on Jessica Alba:

What do you think? Will you try this new style?

I don't think I would wear this! My MIL has a bob and she has been taking to wearing a headband (75). Her friends say she looks very young!

I love headbands! Typically I wear the hard plastic ones from J.Crew in shinny black, or tortise, but I have a number of grosgrain ribbon bands too! I'm not 100% sold on the feathers yet though!

I think it is cute on some people, but I wouldn't be able to pull it off. And I also think it would look cute on people with their hair down, but not up.

I really like them, but don't wear headbands, so it's not really something I see myself in. And I get what Jessica Alba was going for, but her's looks funny....
