Hi, I'm TIFFANY

Memo 065: All Summer Long

So, remember how I said that I was wearing turbans all summer?


Well, that’s definitely happening.


I’m in the midst of some very serious hair confusion. It is currently 1/6 natural (like 2 or so inches beyond new growth). Some days I want to color it, cut it off, braid it up, grow it out or add a little extra. All I do know is that I’m ready for a change. Coupled with the fact that it needs to be able to handle a 4 – 5 day workout schedule, I’m not exactly sure which change to make at this moment.


So, until then, I’ll put a turban on it!

Dress (worn as shirt): Oasis, Skirt: ASOS
Turban: The MCB Shop, Necklace: Zara, Lip: Dior Blazing Red

Clutch: DVF
Ring: Consignment Store Find
Shoes: Charlotte Olympia

    Such a cute outfit!! Love your turban. I like the way it can be used a protective style for the spring and summer months. In addition to swooning over your outfit I saw that you said it hard to manage your hair since you work out 4 to 5 times a week. I have found that by using the CHI Keratin Mist it keeps my hair healthy and not as oily after doing several workouts in that week. If you are looking for a new product I would highly suggest it 🙂

    With Love,

  2. JUST bought the charlotte olympias YASSSSSSSSS GAWD!!! I have been eyeing these for like ever… they are actually cheaper on Neiman Marcus $586. How do they fit, I went up size but i am scared they will be too big being sling backs.

      I always go up a size in European sizes. So, you should be fine. Neiman does have them cheaper but they only have a 40 left! Bergdorf has more sizes available. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

      Dania, that's the beautiful thing about this turban. I didn't have to tie it! It comes tied and all you have to do is put it on.

  4. Hi,

    I just wanted to say you have a beautiful outfit. And about the hair, my mom transitioned without a big chop too. I actually kind of forced her. But she really liked her hair only when it got fuller towards the time she had to get a new relaxer put in. She liked the fullness of her hair. Only she'd get a relaxer and take all that out?
    Anyway, all she did ( I do not know her hair classification, but it is very thick), a LOT of hair), was got to the barbers to get a colour treatment and her hair would be very soft once again. She also braided, and still does, braid her hair every evening. Maybe you can join http://naturalsunshine.ning.com? It's a community where we support one another with natural hair. It's also very informative and you might be able to give someone else advice!

    I hope this helped a bit, good luck transistioning, but you can do it!

  5. Loving this look! I could never pull this off, but you look darling. Like usual, you know how to mix and match prints and make it work!

  6. Nikki says:

    Love love love the turban, not many can pull it off successfully so kudos.

  7. TheBantuGirl says:

    You've got lovely cheekbones, so I think a short hair cut may work 🙂 Love the outfit.

  8. You look adorable and what a nice skirt!!! I am a big fan of head accessories myself. This summer I am rocking turbans as well.
