1. Juicy Couture “Peace Hearts” Elastic Hair Bands

These elastics aren't completely strange, but they're definitely unique and certainly chic. If there's one thing I love about Juicy Couture, it's the way they do accessories, from hair bands to handbags. The charms on these elastics are too cute for words – especially if you're all about love and peace! They add an instant touch of personality to a simple ponytail, much like styling with colorful chic hair clips for a quick style boost.

2. Mad Tea Party Headband

Price: $115.00 at shanalogic.com
This is by far the best strange but chic hair accessory I've ever come across. Sure, this is a little pricey for a headband, but if you're a ginormous Alice in Wonderland and Mad Hatter fan – like me! – then it seems more than fair. This is so cool, I think I'd give up buying books for a month just to have it. The way that teacup perches is pure art! And yeah, the Queen of Hearts design is delightfully whimsical, making it an irresistible statement piece for tea parties and costume events alike.

I'm a huge fan of hats, although my taste normally runs toward fedoras and classic headwear. However, there's something so saucy and sassy about this hat that I want it right now! I love the silver stars accenting it, and that delicate veiling is absolutely gorgeous. If you want to add a little mystery and old-school glamour to your evening look, this piece is an ideal choice, perfectly complimenting retro ensembles alongside vintage-inspired hair clips.

4. Peacock Feather Headband

Price: $5.80 at Forever 21
If you've ever felt pretty as a peacock, then this is definitely the strange but chic hair accessory you need to show it! I adore peacock feathers, and this one is particularly gorgeous. All that deep blue hue is so pretty, and for a change, I love the way the rich gold accents it. With all the colors, sequins, and beads, you'll mimic the majestic peacock effortlessly.

Key elements that make feather headbands stand out:

Unlike traditional headbands, this clip can be positioned anywhere in your hair using sturdy alligator clips for extra support. The delicate lace and floral detail make it truly special.
