Veiled Intentions

August 4, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve demonstrated in the past that I love a good veil, and this is the latest addition to my collection. Attached to a headband, this veil is an easy way to add some mystery to my ensemble. I just think there’s something so intriguing about a black veil, even if it’s not really hiding anything there’s this air of noir secrecy about it.

veiledintentionsTo keep the veil from looking too funeral, I paired it with leather shorts and a metallic sweater. The casual outfit keeps it from feeling overdone.
