Headscarf

ahhh I don't think I will join, myspace is enough for me You could try hosting the images on something like imageshack or photobucket, they are free. Once you host the image, copy the direct url link, start a new message here, hit the little icon above that looks like a mountain and a sun, and paste the url into the window that pops up. Your image, like magic, will appear in your message

This thread sort of died, so I thought I'd start it back up again.

I work in a box office, and tonight was performance night so I needed to look nice. However, my hair was a mess so I just threw it up in a little Rosie the Riveter-esque bandana. I was really pleased with how it turned out considering the last few times I tried this it turned out miserably. I know it's normally a casual look, but I dressed it up with a black dress, stockings and heels.

What do you think, ladies? Is it acceptable?

You look darling. I cannot figure out how to pull this look off on myself. I don't know whether I am feeling too old to wear it or what. Which makes me a little sad when I see how cute is on on you.

You look adorable, MadelienneBlack. I love a nice Rosie style bandana look.

Shirt, don't feel old - I wear one several times a month when I am too lazy to do the back of my hair. I had to try a bunch of times before I "got it" and find that having a roll or pomp at the front helps it look better on me (or so I think anyway!). Pics here and here.

I wore a head scarf out in public for the first time the other week. Stupidly I didn't take photos, but at the time I wasn't sure if I was going to be brave enough. I was heading to lunch at a girlfriends in the city, all tizzed up and had spent a long time on my hair, but it was blowing a gale outside. Rather than risk it I put a scarf in my bag in case. It was only at the last minute that I got out of the car and decided I was brave enough to wear it for 5 city blocks while walking there. So I tied it on a 'la Grace Kelly ( or HRH Elizabeth if you like) and hid behind my huge black glasses. As I walked up the street it was like the red sea parting. ( I was also carrying a basket of scones, which is pretty odd in the city) People's jaws were literally dropping open, but surprisingly I got lots of compliments as I walked past. I think my bravery quotient has now increased exponentially in the headscarf department.

I bet you were stopping traffic with your Grace Kelly vibe! With looks like yours, you really shouldn't have any bravery issues in any department. Next time, give us some pictures!

Odalisque and Madelinne Black: Thank you. Next time I definitely will take some pictures. It's funny, cause I am very brave when it comes to most things, but I had my reservations.
