I bought this scarf on a whim because light green is a colour that I’ve always liked on other people, but never thought of wearing it myself. I tried wrapping it today and… I think I like it! Definitely feeling the twists and accessories too – I am enjoying this flower pin from the gap (50 cents at a thrift shop, new with tags), and the colourful earrings. What do you think of the light green scarf? Is it something you would wear?
It’s cold, I needed to wrap something quickly, and I’m going to be outside quite a bit today. So of course, a pashmina is exactly what I need to wear! (See tutorial on how to wrap pashminas here.) I especially like this one because it’s so soft, warm, and the colour is beautiful. A pretty antique-y pin pulls the look together perfectly.
I have a feeling that a tutorial is going to be needed on this one! Hint: all it takes is one very large, light silk scarf, and a hair elastic!
There was a time when I went through a contrasting colour phase; All the colours I wore had to be contrast with each other, especially the ones on my head! Blue and orange, yellow and purple, green and pink, etc. would all make bold appearances together. However, lately I am going through a monochromatic phase where I will pair together blue and green, purple and navy, red and orange, and pink with blush. Today was no exception! What colour pairings are you loving lately?
… that seem to get the most notice 🙂
Yesterday for a performance, I wore this square “silk” scarf (it can’t be silk… cost 10nis aka <$3 in the Jerusalem market) with a complimentary headband. Instead of letting the tails hang down the back, I pulled them to the side. Of course, everyone that commented on it was surprised to find out that this is something I do every day and wasn’t just for fashion.
This hat is pretty kooky, but I get compliments whenever I wear it… perhaps others are just humouring me? Either way, *I* like it!
I love the colour brown. I secretly (or not so secretly) yearned for brown hair, but never coloured it because I was given such a lovely shade of blonde. Now that I cover, I can make my head any colour that I please!
This wrap is an easy adaptation of the regal wrap. Instead of wrapping the second strand flat over my head, I gave it a twist!
The rainy weather today called for a simple regal wrap turban. This is by far my most worn style – it’s so easy once you get the knack of it, and everyone always asks how it is done! There are no limits to how casual or fancy it can be, especially when you factor in accessories 🙂
My trusty sari scarf when I need something dressy, that matches everything and is easy to tie… never fails! (For a tutorial on how to wrap one of these, take a look HERE.)
Today is one of those “get lots done fast” days, so I did a quick simple bun wrap in the morning with a comfortable cotton scarf (will be dressing up fancier for tonight!)
Inspired by my dancer friend, I decided to try a high bun wrap for today:
To do this one, just make sure that you have your hair (or volumizer or whatever) high up on your head, then tie one square scarf in a basic tucked in wrap. Then I took an israeli scarf, folded it up and wrapped it around the bun part, tucking the ends in 🙂
So… I started the day off with a beautiful navy and turquoise wrap:
But someone (*cough) didn’t account for the purse/backpack straps that I would be taking on and off all day, so a switch was needed because the hanging tails kept getting tangled. Luckily I brought along a hat! So now the rest of the day will be spent in this:
I really like this hat! It matches so much of my wardrobe and is the perfect size.
Hope you’re all having a lovely day!
Today I tried a new twist on the classic long scarf bun:
I did a basic long scarf bun (see how: here), and twisted the end around. Instead of tucking the final end in under the bun, I tucked it into the actual twist, leaving the end hanging, and adding a flower pin. Voila!
My favourite colour is turquoise/teal tones, so today I was definitely wrapped in my colour of choice!
This wrap was done in a hurry, and is a haphazard version of the layered volumous regal wrap style, except I only used two long scarves. Even though the look is sloppy, I got many smiles and compliments throughout the day!
Inspired by a friend that I met the day before (thank you!), I decided to try tying my accent scarf around the bun part of the wrap. Here is the result!
I love braiding with scarves of different widths – it creates such a neat effect!
Hope you all are looking forward to a lovely weekend. I sure am, and I am also super excited for the “Lady Wrap Star” that I will be posting on Saturday night!
