Daily Outfit: Fit for a Queen





my mani is Sally Hansen, of course! Girl Flower - though i was hesitant at first , now i love this pattern!

it was love at first sight with these edgy studded flats!

with so many people bringing back the "turban", i decided to dedicate my look to the original head wrap wearers. ( you know who you are!)  there was a time when i could be found rocking all types of head wraps- super sky high, two fabric patterns - you name it, i tried it.  the head wrap is another example of how fashion imitates life.   while i love that they have recently been seen on the runways, i like to give props to the trends that actually have a functional use as well.  although it has become fashionable, it has historically been worn as a means of protection or as a covering for a woman's (or a man's, in some cases) source of strength - her hair.  the head wrap can be found in many cultures.  for example, royalty in Africa wear head wraps or crowns to signify status and tribal identity.  though i like to think of myself as royal, today i rock my head wrap out of fashion inspiration as well as to cover my bad hair day lol.  it is a fun way to both get back to my roots and look fresh at the same time!
