Growing up in Oklahoma, your outfit wasn't complete without a matching bow. Can you say, tiny human diva? I remember my mom putting the finishing touches on my outfit before we went to school or church. My younger sister and I had a rather large bow collection featuring all colors of the rainbow (but mostly pink). I gave up on the hairbows until I made the high school cheerleading squad, go Huskies! My mom and I made some outrageous and sometimes ridiculous bows for football season. Now wouldn't that make for a great TBT post? I'll spare your eyes from having to see that.

I went off to college at Oklahoma State University in the fall of 2007. Before Nike shorts and oversized t-shirts took over college campus everywhere, bows were the hottest accessory for sorority girls. Each day, I channeled my inner seven-year-old and had a matching tiny bow that clipped on my side bangs. I must say, I am not proud of this--but it totally happened y'all. You live and you learn!

Clearly, I am not in college anymore. Grownup life can seem a little bit drab and dull sometimes, everything is black, white or gray. I don't know about you, but this girl needs color! I have found a fun way to make your outfit pop and stand out from the crowd. And no, you will not look like Honey Boo Boo (not gonna lie, I totally watched that show #NoShame). I am a 100% fan girl for Elizabeth Heard! Let me tell you a little bit more about her and her business.

Elizabeth Heard is a southern girl, from Georgia. She has had a life-long obsession with hair barrettes! In the spring of 2015, she created Elizabeth Heard, making carefully crafted hair accessories. She is the definition of a boss babe, right? I have been following along her journey via Instagram. I am so impressed with her creativity and passion! 

I want you to find a piece that takes your outfit to the next level. You have got to check her stuff out! Let's be real; it's fun to be a little different.
