Regression Obsession: Shoelace Hair Clips

Shoelace Hair Bows from Hairtopia.comFeather fascinators are the current mark of a sartorialist who wants fashion to bleed into her hair accessories. But there was a time when shoelace hair clips were the raddest alternative to scrunchies ever invented. Royal-hued, neon-colored, or metallic. Crazy-glued to a cheap silver clip. Purchased for $1 at a drugstore with your allowance.
Instead of a fairy wood nymph, one usually resembled... um, a girl with bouncy shoelaces in her hair. And gosh, did they ever go great with Swatch watches and mis-matched leggings from the GAP.

It's a very unique idea!
