Apparently, I have a thing for stripes this summer – button downs, off the shoulder blouses, and now, this cropped tee – and also for mixing them with seasonal prints. This mixup, coupled with some reflective shades, gives me those young, wild and free summer feels.
Having said that, how can it be possible to up the good vibes even more? Well, I just found out. You can adorn your head with one of this summer’s most ridiculous fun accessories: the banded turban or wrap headband.
I’m not going to lie, although I was extremely stoked about rocking this headpiece from Club Monaco out East over the long holiday weekend, I had zero clue how to actually wear it. When I first put it on, I had a messy bun on top of my head so I looked like I could have been in the midst of a summer power outage. I thought of my grandmother going out to hang laundry on those outdoor clothes lines.
Next, I tried wearing it like a legit headband but felt like a Saved by the Bell character (with less bouncy hair). Then, it finally all came together once I gently laid it on top of my hair (while completely down) and rested the bow right under my hairline. Ta-dah! It really wasn’t that hard to figure out, after all. This extra flair (and addition to my print party) felt pretty dope. To be honest, I’m sort of addicted now. Oh, and when I’m feeling extra sassy, I wear it off to one side. Whattttt.
Summer is all about enjoying life, not taking things so seriously (like when my husband called me Tupac, which led to him playing California Love on his iPhone every time I would enter the room), and for being your brightest self. For me, a palm print always brings a smile to my face so this Milly midi skirt with on-trend wrap-waist really lights me up.
I’m also loving this vibrant lip color, which is my first lip crayon by Chanel (it’s amazing because it lasts forever and has a touch of shine, but doesn’t get sticky like a gloss). Last, but not least, you could choose to let loose with a pair of airy slide mules that can easily be kicked-off during a poolside BBQ.
Below, you can find more these fun-loving summer headband, along with a few other pairs of sunglasses that I’m currently obsessed with. Happy summering, my friends!
