When's the last time you thought about really doing your hair, outside of styling it (even just brushing it, if you're so low-maintenance you might be broken)? Now's the time to bring clips and flowers and pearly barrettes to the forefront of your minds, comrades, because they're pretty and convey a sense of deliberateness we seem to have lost. Here, seven fresh ideas that might persuade you to have a dig through your (hair) jewellery box.

Simone Rocha

<p>And like the previous slide but more extra, this look takes a three-prong approach to defining and bringing light to&nbsp;the face: one pearl barrette at the arch, and two more at the ends of the brows. Add blush, and <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/news/a13883/skin-perfecting-techniques-art-history/" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">you're a lit-from-within Renaissance figure</a>.&nbsp;</p>

Ashley Williams

<p>For days when doing *anything* is too much of a cross to bear,&nbsp;make the most of your rough-night texture by carving out a deep side part, then sticking in a rhinestone clip.&nbsp;Someone track down <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BZOuMT1gWt7/?hl=en&amp;taken-by=iamlaurajackson" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">the "sex anxiety" one</a> for me, eh?</p><p><em data-redactor-tag="em" data-verified="redactor">Shop similar: Ashley Williams, $81</em></p><p><strong data-redactor-tag="strong" data-verified="redactor">BUY IT: <a href="https://ashleywilliamslondon.com/collections/accessories/products/girls-hair-pins" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">ashleywilliamslondon.com</a>.</strong></p>

Marchesa

<p>Whereas IRL, your evening options might be whatever you can scrounge up, in fashion, we're moving toward a fully realized, matching Look. (See: <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/news/a25979/evening-tote-bag/" target="_blank" data-tracking-id="recirc-text-link">an evening tote in the same fabric as your dress</a>.)
