Tying Up Loose Ends: My Take on the Turban Trend

I've been shunning and rebuffing the latest Turban Trend. Not because I'm a self-loathing, influenced by mainstream society, Barbie wanna-be who is not in touch with my "roots." But because of this...

"Stylist" June Ambrose has made this look so "costumey" in my opinion. I understand she may have been inspired by this...

But even notice the difference between how this is styled versus the bathrobe June is wearing...I mean c'mon lady!

I will also say I have issues with June. Wrote a list about them. Wanna hear it? hear it goes (reference video follows the list LOL):

• She can't spell (spelled sequins "sequence" and quesadillas "casadillas") on Twitter
• She made a crazy remark about plus-sized women on Twitter
• I just don't find her a real role model for our younger women (I like her hustle, but she needs some education)

But I digress, this is supposed to be a style-related post.

Approximately 10 years ago I rocked turbans, more out of necessity (to cover up bad hair days), than fashion. It is definitely a style I embrace and appreciate when done in a "non-spa" fashion.

I have seen several turban styles that I like and will duplicate. Including these...

The blogger over at Natural Belle really has this style down and is definitely wearable without looking like you're ready for Halloween.



This one is a little more "Rosie the Riveter"
