Fashion Obsession of the Moment: Crochet Headwraps

In 2008 when headwraps came out, I was a skeptical. The faux-turbans were only seen on particularly daring fashionistas and celebrities.

Kourtney Kardashian

Ashley Olsen

The roots of this tread were clearly Middle Eastern, but Europe and America have taken their own perspective and morphed the headwrap into an everyday accessory. Instead of covering the entire head like Kourtney's sea green wrap, now they are usually the thickness of a typical headband. Though, the different shape isn't what convinced me that this trend was going to be the newest addition to my closet. Nope, it was the crochet that sold me.

Cozy Couture: Bella Custom Headwrap

(The last site, Cozy Couture is one of my favorites. I discovered the seller on Etsy and everything she does is Amazing, capital A.)

This trend is perfect because you can dress it up or down. Wear it with a blazer and jeans with some flashy pumps or if you're in a colder part of town, pull on your Uggs and Northface with the confidence of knowing that your head at least looks sexy.

My only recommendation for wearing this is do it with your hair down. Loose, care-free bohemian curls are the way to be. If you wear it with a pony, you run the risk of looking like you're heading off to shovel snow. 

Now I'm off to go buy at least 3 of these little beauties on Etsy ;)
