What To Do When You Oversleep

Did you catch this post on the @betches Insta feed? This is me. 

In 6th grade, I was all about that round brush. I woke up diligently at my first alarm. I curled. I primped. I took my hair seriously. Now, I cannot wake up before 7AM. It is a very rare occasion that I'm not wearing a messy braid or ponytail to work (I wish this were not the reality, but priorities have shifted, apparently!). Most mornings look something like this: roll out of bed at the last minute, quick body shower, throw on black jeans and a tissue turtleneck, drive too fast to get to the office by 9AM (OK, 9:15). 

This velvet bow is just what I need to look a little more... on purpose. By sweeping my unwashed hair into a quick ponytail with this pretty bronze hair tie, my low-effort look instantly feels polished and intentional—and ready to meet friends at the nearest brewery come five o'clock. 

Velvet is one of the biggest trends for fall, and this bow is a classic way to cash in while helping you keep hittin' snooze (without looking like you did). It's the perfect natural bronze that will work with any outfit—and add a festive finishing touch to your holiday looks! 

For days I'm not livin' la vida velvet, Anthropologie has a great selection of cute hair tie sets. Shop them right here and all of my picks below!
