the glory of cheap accessories

Experiencing the low cost of just about everything in this country makes me want to know why life is so darn expensive in the states. I got a haircut last week, and the woman who cut it curled it with a flat iron. It looked really good. I can't figure out how to get it to look the same way, and just letting it dry results in half-cut curls going in stupid directions. The one thing I wasn't thrilled about was that she cut bangs. You know, the ones that are too short to pull back, but are too stupid long to leave down. So while I wait a couple months for them to grow out, I need some things to hold 'em back. Last night I went to an accessory store and picked up a mini-slew of headbands for 1,000W each. So cheap! They're cute, too! This store is pretty awesome because you can load up on trendy jewelry and hair stuff without spending a lot of money. I bought some earrings, too for 1,000W a pair. I freaking love the fact that I don't have to drop a load of cash for some extra fashion.
