the rainy day special

Today, I totally wanted to wear some of my new thrifted items.
(You can check those items out in my vlog, found here.)
BUT... Mother Nature did not want me to have any fun, so it's my rainy day special of jeans, boyfriend tee, and turban.
Speaking of that red head adornment, I love it.
You can see the different ways I have styled it 

I can honestly tell you that three of the numerous items I am wearing today were assumably lost.
I forget when I hang things up to dry in the laundry room and they get hidden by other items.
I thought these jeans ran away... but alas, we are reunited.
(and it FEELS SO GOOD)
Same for the two necklaces, they were hiding under newer items.
I think I need a new organizational system, folks.


Check out those nails! 
What do you think?
 It was harder than I thought, but I'm pleased with the outcome.  You can see Kara's DIY post on the striped nails HERE.
Get some fun colors and have an Easter themed manicure day.
Happy Easter weekend, and Good Friday, and Easter Monday...
Working at a Catholic school has many perks, including this glorious four-day weekend I start at six pm this evening. Hollllerrrr.

Talk to you later, my little chickens.

holy turbans, batman!

Look at me, look at me.


Clockwise from left, 1, 2, 3, 4

I recently fell in love with the turban headband trend (and wanted to buy a handmade one)
CHECK!
So now- I am having trouble styling it for everyday life.
I never turn down a headband.  So check out how I styled it and let me know what you think.

The turban itself is cranberry red. I love love love the color, the possibilities are endless.
It is so well made and comfortable.
 Let's get down to it.

1) Turbo-Turban: the most normal way to wear it.  Over hair that is completely down. May look better with hair in waves.
2) Fake Bangin': aka I pinned my hair back to appear as if I had bangs.  I'm anti-bangs for myself, but everyone wearing turbans HAVE bangs.  SO I gave it a go, P.S. totally fooled my family.
3) Party Pony: My hair is parted like normal, with a normal ponytail and some volume.
4) Vintage Vibe: Front of hair pinned back.  Turban worn like regular headband.

So what do y'all think is the BEST look for me?
Which one would YOU wear?

I bought this turban from one of my favorite blogger's online stores.  
Kim from Yellow Songbird sold them bid-like on twitter.
She's the cutest.



^ This is how Kim wore it ^

Whoa, that grid of pictures is like Bekah overload.
Sorry...
you're welcome.

I got dressed today... AND I looked super cute.
