inspiration: turban


I'm finding a lot of inspiration on the retro turban today... it's one of the most fashionable trends from the 60s and 70s... and though it is making a comeback now... I don't think many women dare try it... I've worn turbans and really love it, specially now that I'm letting my hair grow back again and it is not growing as pretty as I thought.

I'm gonna make myself a turban in gold for a party I've got tonight... I'll pair it up with a black one shoulder dress I made last week, purple heels, cute purple/green clutch with gold accents, gold jewerly and a bottle of red wine.... I'll post pictures tomorrow.. meanwhile take a look at these fab ladies rocking the turban trend.
