Easy.
The bows I wear in my hair.
It all started in Korea. Those cute little Asians just have fashion figured out. And I admit I was hella jealous that they were wearing cute outfits and awesome hair bows while I was wearing long boring skirts and blouses.
*shudder*
I bought some hair bows on my mission. Like a bunch of giraffes, a head band or two or three, a couple hair clips, and some bobby-pin type bows. I was excited to buy them all to wear them when I got home. Until one of my companions told me that I wouldn't be able to wear them in America. She said that fashion in America would think that wearing stuff like that in your hair was ridiculous. Only babies can pull it off.
Well, call me a baby. Cuz I'm pulling this off.
I love wearing bows in my hair. And I get a compliment almost every single time I do wear them.
For instance:
Went to a new ward this summer. Guy comes up to me in the hall. "Hey! Are you new?" Me: "Uh, Yes." Guy, "I REALLY like that bow in your hair." Me: creeped out.
My boss this summer: "You always wear those bows in your hair and it reminds me of what I put in my daughter's hair." (daugher is 4 months old.) Me: "Oh, so I guess I remind you of a baby?" Her: "Uh, Yeah. But I love that you wear them."
Julia in class, "Mindy!" Me:"Yeah?" Her: "I found this head band in my house today and I'd never be able to pull it off! But I thought of you and your awesome hair bows and I had to give it to you." Me: Not sure how to take that. But said thank you anyway.
James at the hospital: "Hey! You're wearing a bow in your hair!" Me: "Don't I usually?" James: "Yes, you used to do it all the time but lately I've noticed that you haven't worn them as much." Me: "Oh. Well, I like wearing them. But I think they make people think I'm three years old." James: "I like them. You should wear them more often."
Dan: "Why didn't you wear a bow in your hair today?" Me: "Uh, I didn't know I had to wear one everyday. Sorry." Dan: "I like when you wear bows in your hair."
Patient in the hosptial: "I really like your bow!" Me: "Thanks!"
Girl at work this summer. We figured out that not only did we both go to SUU, but we were in the same ward. Me: "We were in the same ward! I didn't know that! How did you figure that out?" Girl: "Well, at first I didn't know it was you. But then you wore a bow in your hair one day to work and I remembered how you would wear those when you taught Relief Society." Me: "Haha... my little bows." Her: "I like them! They're cute."
I could go on. Really.
Anyway. Vive le hair bow. I even wore one today. I just love them.
Mindy. Nice. Bow.
