To Turban or Not to Turban?

Hey, bandits! 

I hope you all have had a spectacular summer! Unfortunately, the time has come for us to return to the real world. And by real world, I mean the dreaded application process. (Just as forewarning, my blog posts most likely will be a bit sporadic in the coming weeks.)But, before personal statements are due, and interviews begin, there's still enough time to grab your bedazzled birkenstocks and velvet turbans for a sunny afternoon. 

I've always been rather hesitant about jumping on the turban boat and, if I'm being honest with you, I definitely did not think I could ever- EVER- pull off a turban.  It wasn't until I saw a beautiful woman rocking the most wonderful black turban while at Balthazar NY that I decided to join the club. Consider me an avid fan. Paired with fitted jeans and chunky statement shoes, an Art Deco look is given the perfect modern twist. 

Happy Monday!

I had such a blast shooting this outfit with my friend, A, yesterday. I'm definitely indulging my not so secret obsession with retro clothing. Sometimes all you need is a good pair of disco pants and a peasant top. Bowl hats don't hurt either. Personally, I'm, not really one for chiffon, but somehow this shirt has caught my fancy. You know what they say, there's a first time for everything.
