I guess this is more of a vent than a plea for advice, but I am just getting so frustrated with my indecision regarding my accessories. I have always wanted and planned to wear my hair up, with a gorgeous comb in the back, and wear big chandelier glamorous earrings. The vibe I am going for is very red carpet glam. The problem began when I went to pick out my veil and I tried on a jeweled headband for fun, and my mom fell in love with it. I liked it too and decided to get it when she offered to buy it for me. I don't know if I was just excited or what, but I totally disregarded my entire mental image that I had previously.
The headband recently came in and I realized just how much I will have to change my whole look to accommodate it. I only like it with my hair half-up, and now with all the bling on my head I will have to wear much smaller earrings. I am a big earrings girl, especially when getting dressed up, and this has just been nagging at me. I also feel like I can't wear as sparkly of a bracelet b/c the headband makes my whole ensemble look very over-accessorized and more bridal than red carpet. My dress is a Pnina that is mostly plain but has crystals on the sweetheart neckline, and that is another reason why I feel like I will be over-accessorized.
I guess my question is, can I just not wear the headband and go back to my original look? I feel so guilty that my mom bought it for me, and it wasn't that cheap ($200.00). She says its ok, but I can tell she is a little dissapointed. But I also feel like she will quickly forget about it (she's like that) and I think I'd much rather disappoint her a tiny bit than worry on my wedding day that I don't feel like myself and that I don't match my vision of myself. I do think the headband is gorgeous, but it just isn't me.
Note: If I don't wear the headband I will sell it and/or reimburse my mom
