kind of garish and loud more like costume jewelry [SEP] this is a pretty headband with lots of sparkly rhinestones and colorful stones the embellishments look almost too pretty for a headband and i wish i could remove the stones and make a necklace or brooch out of them the headband is comfortable to wear though i feel like i am wearing headphones at times because of its thickness as it is the colors are a little garish and over the top so i would not wear this as a serious wardrobe accessory but rather as a whimsical adornment to a costume or a style event i think a teenager would love it
