It works for any mood, and is a fun touch of bling to add to any outfit. Cool barrettes for adults: Margot clip at Urban Outfitters This Margot hair clip at Urban Outfitters looks gorgeous over a loose ponytail, with your hair half up, or even just on the side. It's big (nearly 5-inches in diameter), but there's a mini version available too. It might be the better choice if you have thin hair.
