Turbanista

August 5, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

With all the construction going on around my building, my already hard water has turned into a nightmare for my skin and hair. Blame it on these old Boston pipes. As a result I’ve had to up my headwear game for the days when the dry shampoo just isn’t cutting it. This turban I picked up at a thrift store a few years back is one of my favorites. It adds a subtle but interesting dynamic to an ordinary all-black outfit.
