多此一举

In Vogue

 You can trust a turban to do some screaming. - NYT

i blogged about something similar not too long ago. i just couldn't wrap it around my head, though, over something. 

i get and approve the looks featured in the news article. because to me that's what these things are meant to do. now i do like how the turban looked on The Glamourai. but it's not practical. if scarves were of the kind of material that i think i'm familiar with, then how did they stay in place like that? surely they got some help there?

it's the same with other head gear like hairbands, etc. if they don't serve their function, (of keeping hair in place, what else?) then they're useless. to me. pretty, but useless. 

so's the case for accessorising. so i guess that's why i'm more a collector than a wearer. which is just as 多此一举, lor. once, when i was still really young and daring, i did a bareback with a scarf. i got a scarf from GDO from one of sales, in the hope of making it and the buckle useful. i don't think it really worked.  leather would look better aesthetically. the idea on GDO's blog is certainly more idiot-proof.
