Amber + The Turban

Amber + The Turban

October 17, 2012

The turban has always been a look I’ve ached to pull off. To be honest, it’s a look that not many people can wear well. It takes a certain je ne sais quoi to don such a strong style, and more often than not the turban ends up looking like, well, you tried too hard. Not on Amber! To the contrary, this is the turban pulled off with power and courage. I think her secret is pairing the silk turban with a low-key chambray denim top and angular tortoise shell sunglasses. Balance within a look is key.

Think of dressing yourself in the morning as a way of balancing your energy. Let me tell you, this is something I struggle with myself. I’m so tempted to wear too many directional pieces at once, but with a measured approach and careful eye it works much better to take a step back (like Amber) and choose one strong statement piece. It’s hard to reign myself in, it feels almost like taming my wild fashion side on a daily basis, but in the end I always feel way more confident about what I’m wearing.
