The entryway in Girlawhirl’s apartment can always use a little cleaning up. She kicks off her shoes when she crosses the threshold, leaving a jumble of them on the floor, her handbag is either hanging on the doorknob of her tiny closet, or on the ground among the shoes, and whatever sweater or jacket she’s worn that day barely makes it into the overstuffed closet…

As much as she loves her just past her shoulder length hair, the reality is that there are very few hair accessories that are work – and age – appropriate. A hair band is too juvenile (as much as she wishes it was not), barrettes look like she’s in fifth grade, and forget about a scrunchi or plastic clip – those are for at home use only. So when she finds what she deems an office appropriate hair accessory, Girlawhirl jumps on it…
