We love ponytails - for yoga class. They're ridiculously easy to throw together, which is why they're great for on-the-go hair management. But just because the ponytail is a practical, functional look doesn't mean you can't dress it up and wear it to formal occasions like cocktail parties and work.

We know that "acid green" is not exactly a delightful color when it comes to most things. If your two month-old orange is acid green, it's probably pure mold, and if a bottle is full of acid green liquid, it's most likely poison (or, okay, soda). But you get our point.
