I've written A LOT about real hipsters, so I thought, why not give a shout out to all the poser hipster brides out there? I think they deserve some advice too. So here we go - it's the HALF-assed Hipster Bride Style Guide: Hair-wear Edition.So where do all these half-assed hipsters shop, you ask? Urban Outfitters of course!!! The oh-so-expensive but oh-so-awesome Urban Outfitters lured me into their online shop yesterday. I was so powerless against their fashion-forward offerings, that I had to buy something - but don't worry - I was able to justify my purchase...well kind of...I bought THE raddest Bowie shirt I've ever seen and probably will ever see, so it was essential right? Being that I'm the BOWIE BRIDE???? Right? Right? A girl's gotta represent, yo! And yes, I realize that by shopping at Urban, I can in turn call myself a half-assed hipster. If I found an ORIGINAL Bowie shirt from the 70's at a thrift shop with Cheez Whiz stains on it from the 80's, THEN I could actually call myself a full-blown hipster...but alas, half-assing it will have to do for now. Oh well!
Anyway, on to the hair-wear! Urban is a perfect option for the bride who wants something pretty but showcases some edge.
As a half-assed hipster myself (well, maybe a quarter-assed hipster is more apt) I'd probably take these ideas and find an indie designer on etsy, since that's probably where Urban got the ideas to begin with. (suuuch cute ideas.) Also, I hate giving my $$ to Urban because the owner's politics are in such staunch contrast to my own (and to the half-assed hipsters he's trying to sell things to.)
ReplyDeletereally like your inspiration photos. feathers and flowers in one's hair are my fave :)
ReplyDeleteThe one on the left in the last row, love it! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think people don't read your post and just look at the pictures...anyway...I digress. These urban hair pieces are all knock off of indie/etsy pieces. So. If one bought the etsy piece would one be hipster? Can't we be fashion forward, indie-supporters without being hipsters??? plus if i were a hipster i would go this route - http://www.hemmy.net/2008/06/11/nagi-noda-bizarre-animal-hair-hats/
