Pearls and Scrunchies – Match Made in Heaven

Anyone who follows the world of fashion knows that any, and I mean ANY trend can revive itself. We have seen leggings, slap bracelets, neon colors, chunky jewelry and shoulder pads all make a run for it in today’s fashion world. While some of these old-become-new trends thrive and others fall flat. One fashion trend that I never believed would have made a comeback though – the scrunchy. These oversized, cheesy, elastic hair bands have been scorned in the fashion industry ever since the days of Punky Brewster came to an end.

Marc Jacobs Pearl Scrunchy

Thanks to the ever-so-fashionable Marc Jacobs however, the scrunchy is making a comeback. He took an old, tired trend and turned it into something beautiful – worthy of the most girly girls and ballerinas everywhere. He wove luxurious fabrics with gorgeous, lustrous pearls and adorned each and every one of his models with one at his spring show. He pleated and wound the pastel fabrics into exquisite designs and perfectly placed each bright white pearl. These hair accessories are not even close to being reminiscent of the 80’s. They are sophisticated and luxurious to say the very least.

Small accessories like this embellished with high quality gemstones, like pearls are a hot commodity this season. With the economy still on the downswing, consumers are looking for the best ways to penny pinch but still look their best. Marc Jacobs pearl scrunchies are the perfect example of the big, bold accessories that are sure to hit stores everywhere this Spring.

If you can’t afford the Marc Jacobs version of the hair scrunchy, don’t be upset! There are other options out there for the budget-minded consumer. Check out a few of these other feminine, pearl-studded hair scrunchies:

Black Pearl Scrunchy

This is a fabulous hair accessory that can add pizazz to almost any updo. It is made of a soft fabric and three strands of variegated white pearls make for the perfect embellishment. Remember – when it comes to hair scrunchies, there is a fine line to walk between sophistication and just downright awful!

Lace and Pearl Scrunchy

This scrunchy is a great variation of the Marc Jacobs scrunchy. It has beautiful pastel fabrics woven with a delicate lace and a few perfect white pearls to add a touch of luxury. Something like this is subtle yet speaks volumes about how fashion forward every detail of your wardrobe is!
