Take your barrette game to the next level by creating a contrast with your hair color, whether that means pale pink on black hair or vermillion on platinum hair as shown here. Go for something similarly vibrant with this Simone Rocha Flower Hair Clip, $116.

Don't forget about the back of your head! Oversized pearl clips like these add a touch of glam (while also helping to tame hair that's not quite long enough for a high bun yet).
