Plastic Princess

Hmmm, for someone who professes she is so not a princess, I seem to own rather a lot of tiaras. But this one, I might argue, could be dubbed (to use a queenly term) a glorified headband.

It is from Mimco, made of plastic, and inset with diamantes. It retailed for about $99. I hardly need state that I certainly did not pay that inflated price: I bought it from the sales store in Richmond for much less than half the amount. I think it looks like a blinged-up ice-cream waffle.

At the time when I bought it there was another design in (faux) tortoiseshell that I preferred, but it was broken in parts. It would have stood out a bit more against my dark hair than the navy, but I thought it was so cute I had to have it anyway.

Have I worn it out yet? No, of course not. It’s a tiara!
