To Scrunchie or Not?

Never in my life would I believe that scrunchies would be back in style, but they are indeed everywhere! I recently rewatched all the seasons of Sex and City and there is one episode where Carrie is dating Berger and he wrote about a stylish New Yorker wearing a scrunchie and after reading his book, she listed this as a complete offense to fashion. Then they ran into a woman wearing one, only to find out she was visiting from the Midwest. Only a tourist would be caught dead wearing this out of date accessory.

Fast forward and they are definitely back, whether you want them or not. Here is a roundup of some cute ones…

Back in high school, I used to make these myself (with a little bit of help from my Mom). A quick trip to Laura Ashley to buy fabric by the yard, cut the strips and she would sew them up with elastic. My go-to hair ties these days are Grab-n-Go ponies from France Luxe. They hold my hair all day long and are not damaging. You may see me in a scrunchie around town, but only for a fashion moment lol.

All scrunched up, XOXO KP
