The kind of girl who wears a headband around her forehead...

A trend that came from Hollywood and has mainly been tried by Boho girls, the skinny headband around the forehead is in. It has been called many things, usually some variation of either "fashion-forward" or "stupid and ugly." Though it's still somewhat of a risk to try it, especially if you don't have the right hair, I've seen signs of it moving into the more mainstream girls wardrobe. I mean, if all the girls on this cycle of America's Next Top Model are wearing them in the opening credits, then they must be cool right? I've seen friends wearing them for a night out or a girl or two wearing them in class.
But the scariest part is their growing influence on me. A year ago, when they were still a very new trend, on any given day you could have asked me about them. And do you know what I would have said? A lot of different things, but all basically meaning, "stupid and ugly."
Now it seems that I secretly want to be the kind of girl who can pull off a headband around my forehead. I can see myself walking around, with some sort of Boho outfit that compliments my braided headband and when people ask if it's new, I'll say, "No I wear this all the time." Which isn't true, because all day I'll be worrying if it looks silly, or if my hair is properly puffy enough above the headband and it'll be so stressful that I'll never wear it again. But I'll be able to identify as Bohemian Chic for that day...

Let's hope this style catches on...
I just purchased 45 of them for my wife.
