Save or Splurge: Wraps

By -

I love wraps. They make lovely scarves in both the summer and winter. They can be fun belts or headbands. They can spice up a shirt or even be a shirt if belted properly. They fold up small to stuff in a tote in case it gets a little chilly.

I have several wraps, and I've never paid more than $10 for one. However, I think I might spend a little more if I found something in a material, pattern or color I really want. Last winter I found a lovely plum wrap for $24, and I'm still kicking myself for not buying it because I haven't found that color anywhere else.

I think a wrap is worth the money when it's made out of a beautiful material. I prefer washable silks or cotton because a wrap tends to sit close to my face so I like to be able to wash it easily. A "dry clean only" wrap just costs too much in the long run. This Celebration of Orange Close Weave Wrap from Rainbow Revolution on Etsy is 100% cotton and a beautiful color. I think it's well worth $35.

What would you spend on a wrap?

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
