Pocahontas 2014
9:24:00 PM
Hello!
I am aware that Pocahontas' supposed to be decked in all neutrals and tribal looking stuffs (not to mention tanned and athletic instead of pasty white and chubby *LOL*), but ever since i first cast my eyes on this peacock feather tasseled headband from Stradivarius, it just screamed Pocahontas to me and no matter what i pair it with, i feel very Pocahontas-y in them.

So here's how i'd imagine Pocahontas looks, if she is living in a 2014 metropolis city, Asian, and maybe discovered cupcakes :p.

| Developed new habit of using a new lipstick and stick to it for a while *sigh*, been wearing this pink lipstick from Collection non-stop since new year! |
Stupid story about this headband, see how in some of the pictures it was half hidden in my hair? It frustrated me because... What the hell's the point of wearing a tasseled headband if people wasn't be able to see the tassle, right??? I have this habit of letting some front hair loose because i want to conceal my chubby cheeks as best as i could, but apparently it's a big no no if you are wearing tasseled headband!!! I only discovered it when i got back *LOL*, just tuck your hair behind your ear and it would be very visible (like the very first photo)!
Wore the whole look out to GM with #Undecided and A (and our hubbies and babies, well my baby's 6 but he's forever my baby), fussed the whole time trying to show the stupid tassel with #Undecided and none of us realized we just needed to tuck the strand of hair back *sigh*.

| Can hardly see it in in this pic *double sigh* |
All of the accessories i wore that time (decided to keep it at least earthy and tribal inspired. If the make up and dress weren't typical Pocahontas, at least i think the jeweleries were more suitable hahaha):
 |
| Tasseled Headband : Stradivarius, Rings : New Look (from a set of lotsa rings!), Wooden Butterfly Bracelet : Gunung Kawi (it was IDR 5000 or something), Butterfly Studs : Genting, Malaysia (RM 10 for 3 or cheaper!) |
 |
| Black Inner : Qoo10, Tube Skater Dress : Arithalia |
 |
| Whoops, please ignore my security shorts peeking out! |
It actually got an interesting laced up back, but unfortunately having tiny boobies meant i had to tied in tightly (even then they still kept on sliding down the entire time, and i was already wearing my thickly-padded bra FML) and it looked kinda unsightly after a few hours out so i didn't take pictures zzzz.

| Purple Bag : Bonia |
I actually went through a lot of trouble for this tasseled headband, i first saw it in Stradivarius in GM but i am not used to spend more than IDR 100.000 for a headband (it was IDR 129.000 i think), at least not the non-bejeweled ones!!! I was also worried that it'd look too much for conservative Indonesia *i get a lot of stares whenever i go out as it is*, i even went back a few times still contemplating it (yes, i am annoying that way). Then i made up my mind that i WANT it, and it's gone. LOL. It was sold out! The BA told us to write down our number and they'd contact us if the re-stock arrived but it never happened.
I was pretty much given up on it *very reluctantly* but when we went to Singapore sometime after that, i actually found it in Ion's Stradivarius! With the SGD going cray cray, it was actually slightly more expensive *sigh* (i almost didn't shop at all except in Watson's and Guardian back then) but since i couldn't stop thinking about it i just grabbed it before i even had a second to change my fickle mind again. No regrets!
I absolutely love how cute it is and find myself wanting to add more to my collection (i mean headband collection, not tasseled headband collection. I only have one so far :p). It's also a lot more subtle than i thought it would be. Problem was the headband was a bit too big for my head (weird, i have a big face and a big brain, but my head's kinda small) and it kinda slide down (so it couldn't perch properly on top of my head) at all times and was uncomfortable, but i am one of those vain girls who'd brave small pains to look good :p.
A little advice if you're thinking of donning one yourself, i think it'd be wise to skip necklace because the tassel already hung down to the shoulder, it'd be way too busy if you put on any necklace. I was afraid to wear dangly earrings too for fear of making the whole look "too much", but looking back i think a tassel earrings with the same color family with this headband *preferable brown or black. But blue works too with the feathers* would make the whole look even more tribal and Pocahontas-y!

| Showing off my NOTD but the stupid pic turned out blur so you can't see it anyway *LOL* |
 |
| So here's a closer look at my NOTD (that matched my bag perfectly) with Essence nail polish in 86 (A Lovely Secret) topped with Etude House's Minnie in the Nails #3 Minnie White Face (review coming up soon!) |
Do you like tasseled headbands too? Or you would never be caught dead in them?
