The Turban

I really have loved the turban from a few seasons ago when it first graced the catwalks, but I didn't wanna look like a dick rocking it with Jesus sandals, exotic tie-dye maxis and ethnic beads...that was all too Gok'd for me tbh. But the revival of the turban this season sees it more wearable and casual....something of what a beanie is for winter, a MUST-HAVE.
Jacket : ZARA | Skirt : H&M | Tights : (red tights as base) Primark and fashion tights (Primark)
Head Candy (B.I.Y. Turban) : H&M | Cardigan : Primark (MensWear) 
Belt : Primark | Batwing Tank : Blue Inc | Flats : H&M
Arm Candy
Nails : 2True Orange Base + Barry M 'Cracked Nail' Effect | Rings : H&M & Claires'
Watch : Guess | Rosary Wooden Bracelet : eBay
As you all know, I love my head candy! So I thought the 1st B.I.Y (Bleurgh It Yourself) I'd do on here would be for a makeshift turban. And as much as I love the YouTube community, I just didn't wanna follow the flock and do a HowTo video...so here's how to make one...in my favourite form...
PICTURES!
Disclaimer : I apologise in advance for the weird faces and awkward eyes in some shots...also, I used Blanche to take the pics so the quality is relatively lower than you're used to.
Step 1 : Get an UBER long scarf
Step 2 : Fold the scarf in half
Step 3 : Place the centre of the scarf on your head
Step 4 : Wrap the 2 ends around each other at the back (DO NOT TIE)
Step 5 : Twist the remaining flap of scarf (repeat on other flap)
Step 6A : Wrap both twisted ends together
Step 6B : Wrap twisted ends twice for a 'turban' effect
Step 7 : Swing the remaining flaps to the back (tuck if scarf flaps are finito)
Step 8 (Optional) : Swing remaining flap to front and tuck (ONLY if scarf flap remaining)
VOILA!

  13. Thank you for your comment dearie, you're so right about our skirts, twins! Love how you have yours paired with the black cardi and the little reddish logo it really pops. Also that tutorial was so helpful, I am the worst at figuring out how to tie scarves. Id love to see one on how to tie a vintage granny scarf (hope you know what I'm talking about?) a few different ways in your hair x

  27. Oh....
    I have to confess that I am struggling here ...I really want to like you wholeheartedly...
    BUT...
    I'm struggling with outright envy..of your style, your cuteness and your 'ahem' admirable natural assets!
    The fact that you are intelligent and pretty is so unfair!!! LOLLLLL

    Seriously though, I'm liking your style. According to my boys...you've got 'swag'!
    Tanx for dropping by my blog.
    PS - I'm popping you on my blog roll ... to give some inspiration to a tired old mum!!! *smile*
