It’s not every day that I celebrate being married to my outstanding husband for exactly two years. Here is the tichel that I wrapped for our anniversary:
All smiles:
With lots of volume and height from the sides:
Nice and secure from the back:
Don’t you love the colours? Here is some more detailed shots:
Sometimes a colourful, patterned dress calls for a simple scarf! Here is a square scarf worn in a simple bun/twist style. Check out the tutorial here!
Always been afraid to combine brown and black? So was I, until I tried… this!
I try to convey to women that one should continuously strive to love covering her hair (as with all mitzvot), which means coming to understand it deeply, emotionally, philosophically, logically, and then learning how to put all that knowledge into her daily practice. On the same note, I would never advise a quiet, subdued woman begin by wearing outlandish wraps, same as I would not advise an extroverted, bubbly woman start covering by wearing something neutral.
That being said, we are so much more than the labels that we give ourselves, and I ALWAYS encourage women to try something new and not get stuck in a hair wrapping rut. I have often surprised myself by loving colours and styles that I had previously deemed “not me”. Hence the story behind this beautiful wrap; Hot pink, bright green and a huge yellow flower? So not “me”. But I tried it, and ended up loving it!
Here are too many pictures of this beautiful wrap. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙂
… let me count the ways!
I got this super silky scarf, and my [almost] sister in law expressed her concern for how it would slip off easily! Enter the velvet headband! With it, I can wear the slipperiest scarves for hours and hours, and I don’t even need to check on it!
As well… check out this scarf! It’s much less colourful than my usual, but is elegant and looks beautiful without a complicated tie or volumizer.
Here is today’s wrap. I felt like I was doing something quick and simple when I wrapped it in the morning, but every time I looked at it I was impressed with how well it matched my outfit (I had on a turquoise skirt). Just goes to show you that a patterned shirt can bring together clashing scarves! Hmm… maybe this is a key to world peace!
I have never tried doing a single twist with one scarf before… it was time to give it a go! The result was beautiful; Intricate yet casual. I will definitely be doing this one again!
So many beautiful colours, so many ways to wear them! Here is a beautiful braided wrap with a tutorial!
This scarf is such a wonder. I often invent new ways to wrap it thinking “maybe this time it won’t look so good”, and so far, everything I have done with it looks incredible! Do you have a scarf which also does this? If not, I highly recommend finding one 🙂
It’s awesome how a simple twist can add new interest to a scarf that could be a bit blah on its own 🙂
This scarf is one of the first tichels that I purchased. I love its versatility, but had never worn it in a formal setting. I decided to try it out! Who knew that with a little extra height and a sparkly pin, this scarf could be just as fancy as the rest of ’em! The elastic in the scarf kept everything put for the whole night, and the pin held everything together with a little extra security. I will definitely be trying this one again!
If you have been following this blog for a while, you may already know about my love for the “sari scarf” that I own. For those of you that don’t, a sari scarf is a scarf made of recycled sari strips. It’s beautiful, and with one easy knot makes it look like you are wearing a myriad of scarves on your head. I wear mine whenever I need to pull off something fast and formal… so when I found another one in thrift store ($3!) of different colours from the one I already own, I decided to get it. Here it is!
And here is the tutorial on how to do this wrap!
I love this scarf! It’s so simple, and the colour is beautiful and flattering. And because it’s so light and soft, it’s perfect for the summer!
Stripe-y scarves are great when you’re running out the door and don’t have time to do something elaborate with your ‘do. This brown one is both neutral and flattering… and a beautiful brooch ties the look together perfectly!
It always amazes me how a good sash accessory can completely change the look of a wrap. Here I am going to show you a simple, purple scarf, wrapped in the exact same way, but when paired with two different sashes, the look is completely changed! See for yourself!
With a tye-dye, colourful, thin, silk scarf:
And with a ruffled sash (honestly I can’t see how this sash would be worn *not* on one’s head!):
