Headbands Are Forever

Some people have shoe collections, some people have hat collections, but I am one of those who have… headband collections. If there is one thing you should know about me right off the bat, it’s that I am what we like to call… a “headband-aholic” (the drawer solely dedicated to holding my 30+ headbands can attest to this). Ever since I was a preschooler, my fashionista life motto has been “a headband can make any outfit look cuter”. Whenever I can throw in a glitter, sequin or even flowery headband into the mix, trust me, it’ll be there.

Therefore, it’s only suitable that for my first post, I introduce you to my favorite headband of the moment. I found this lovely gem over the summer at a H&M while I was in Europe. When I first saw this, my initial reaction was “no one can seriously wear this.” But then once I tried it on, I couldn’t get myself to take it off. Next thing I knew, I was out the door on the streets wearing it. I’m a full believer in if you like something, you should wear it no matter what people say or think (and yes, there were people staring at me with this thing on). But I always love what I buy and I love what I wear, so no matter how ridiculous one might think I may be, I don’t care. Something as crazy seeming as a headband that looks like a garden of roses on my head just naturally becomes apart of me and apart of my outfit, that it no longer seems or looks as ridiculous as it did on the rack.

The theme of this first outfit was inspired by my top three fashion necessities in life: HEADBANDS, NEON, & CROP TOPS. If you find yourself reading this post and missing any of these three things…. you better run off the computer or quickly open another tab online ASAP and add these items to your collection. People say: Fall is here and neon is gone. I say: Headbands (and neon) are forever.

Headband: H&M // Crop Top: Vintage // Skirt: Mom’s Vintage Skirt // Shoes: Steve Madden //

    I just read this…. “I found this lovely gem over the summer at a H&M while I was in Europe. When I first saw this, my initial reaction was “no one can seriously wear this.” But then once I tried it on, I couldn’t get myself to take it off.”… LOLLL but literally. The fact that its your trademark/ icon is so brilliant.

After today I will be taking a break from Instagram for a while.

I’m sharing the whole explanation below because I know there are a lot of you who have been following me on the daily for YEARS & yallz notice when I don’t post and it feels important for me to explain.

First & foremost:
👉🏻 Yes I’m ok 😆

Second:
Come November I will have been doing this — blogging, “influencing”, daily content producing, for 10 YEARS! 🤯 

And after a lot of reflection the past weeks, If I’m being honest with myself, I haven’t been passionate about posting on here the past few months. Yet I’ve been fighting with this self-inflicted pressure of still figuring out things to post since I feel I need to. Because who am I without my Instagram?

But I’m not someone who does anything because I HAVE to & especially if I’m not loving it. So I’ve decided to give myself PERMISSION. Permission to take a break. Permission to refresh. And permission to figure out what it is I want to be doing on & off here moving forward.

With the (Jewish) New Year quickly approaching & 3ish months of the (American) year still remaining, I want to inspire each of you (for this final #MondayMotivation for a while) through example to make these next few weeks/months count. If there’s something you’re not happy with in your life, take action & change it NOW.

Just because you’ve been doing something a certain way forever doesn’t mean it has to be that way forever (as I remind myself).

It’s been such a journey & honor this past DECADE being one of the first bloggers before anyone understood what that was. Being one of the first to figure out, create & pave the way of “influencers” before that word was created. 

THANK YOU ALL who have joined along the way, have liked my posts, enjoyed my stories, and told me something I’ve shared was exactly what you needed to hear that day. It has meant to me more than you’ll ever know.

It makes me nervous to pause. To not share. To not be on here. This page has been my baby & my life for SO long.

But I promise this isn’t the end. Because if you know me, I’ve got a LOT to say and so much still I want to do.

I love you all so much. Until again.
xoxo Elaine Chaya 🦋🌈🦄
