God, my mom had me wear these as a kid. I guess you have to turn 30 to realize they were actually really cute.

More things my mom wanted me to wear as a very young child but I refused. This was because the bottoms would stab me behind the ears. But they are nostalgic to think about.

These barrettes were everywhere and I also see them making a comeback. The netural colors are fine, but these colorful ones really pop and bring that mid-90s vibe back to life.
