VIDEO: How to Clean Out Your Closet and Make Some Cash
Scrunchies
Just like the fanny pack, scrunchies are back. Don't think of it as the embarrassing hair accessory you wore during that awkward stage in middle school. Think of it as a cool way to spice up your top knots.
Clogs
The bigger and chunkier the shoe, the better. So have fun with those noise-making clogs, which pair well with a pretty dress.
Headbands
Little girls aren't the only ones that can have fun with headbands. Try an adult version—like this sophisticated silk design.
Charm Bracelets
The relaxed vibes of charm bracelets will help you chill out and not take things so seriously. We say pile them on. The more, the better.
Hair Clips
Move over, bobby pins. The bendy clips from the '90s are back. Use them to keep flyaways out of your face and dress up your casual ponytails.
Jelly Sandals
Clear accessories are huge right now—and that goes for jelly shoes, too. Throw them on for a day at the beach and definitely pack them in your luggage for all of your summer trips.
