When: Friday, November 12th, 2010
Where: Work + Business Awards Gala
What: Coat (Miss Sixty), headband (H&M), cashmere sweater (old navy), skirt ($36 Gap w/ 40% discount), floral pendant (h&m), tights (???), shoes (Via Spiga)
In case you missed the memo, apparently turbans are all the rage right now… at least according to the New York Times.
To be honest, when I first noticed the trend I was surprised. For years, I’ve been tying my hair up in a similar fashion (always with a silk scarf) before I go to bed or when I’m doing chores around the house. It just never occurred to me to make it a fashion statement and actually wear it out in public.
Then I found this awesome ear warmer/headband at H&M and was immediately sold. However, a “certain member” of my household still needed convincing.
The first time I wore it, the ensuing conversation went a little something like this:
Him: Who are you?
Me: What do you mean?
Him: You look like a gypsy. What is this?
Me: That’s no way to get your 3 wishes…
Him: Hmmm… I guess you’re right.
I’m not worried. I think it adds a touch of old-school glamour to my ensembles, and it’ll grow on him eventually.
On a side note, the most random thing happened while taking pictures this afternoon. I was at my usual, somewhat-secluded, blocked off side street trying to discreetly take photos of myself when THREE CONVERTIBLE FERRARIS decide to pull up and gun their engines right alongside me! I’m not sure where they thought they were going since the street is closed to traffic, but they of course drew a small crowd of onlookers while I was standing there posing for the camera.
If ever there was a time for me to get over my shyness about taking my own photos in public, that was it! In any case, the driver in the red car was kind enough to ask if he was ruining my shot and then politely offered to back up a few feet.
Do any of you have any weird or interesting stories about things that happened while taking outfit photos out in public? If so, please share ‘cuz I’d love to hear them!
