Turban style

 

I have always liked the very glamorous look of the turban. When I think of turbans the two first things that come to mind are majestic Indian Maharajahs and Elizabeth Taylor who favoured the style.

Over the years the style has appeared in may different ways and can 

be worn by both men and women of any age.

 

Miuccia Prada also included the look in her Spring 2007 show. That is a few years ago now but it is a look that is timeless.

So one day recently when I saw some of my silk scarves which I never use, I thought to myself, 'I must figure out and learn how to use these.'

 So I went onto youtube and started searching for videos on how to tie scarfs and started trying out a few different styles and love how easy it it to change your look with just a square piece of cloth. This was my first look wearing a self tied turban and I went to my friend's child's birthday party and many complimented me on the look.

I also had a two toned bawal scarf my friend Datin Juma gave to me a while ago as a present and starting experimenting with that too. I realised her designs work really well too because of the different tones on the fabric when you tie it up you get nice different shades. To add a bit of bling just add a brooch to the front.

 

I then visited her push cart at the Curve and bought all the ones I like, which was quite a lot ! She has so many different colours and she has ones that are two toned, three toned, 

mixed colours - lots to choose from!

One of her latest designs is called Bawal 205 and this design is brilliant because the different colours along the sides of the scarf mean that you can fold it four different ways and you will get four different colour combinations. Yay! This is Datin Juma modelling the different ways she wears the Bawal 205.

And this is me trying out some different ways of tying it up, as both a full turban, half style turban and another one where I tie it around my ponytail too. It's all the same scarf but just folded in different ways so you get the different colour combinations.

 As a special gift for Raya, I have three Aidijuma Bawal 205 scarves to giveaway ! Yay !
