Here is the tutorial on how to do a wrap with lots of layers and only two scarves! If I can make an instructional video in under five minutes, then you too can master this tie with a little practice!

Layers & Lace
I wore a skirt for the last day of Passover (a holiday in which we celebrate the splitting of the sea) that was mostly neutral colours with a touch of army green. It took a while for me to figure out what to wear on my head to match – usually I match my outfit to my hair covering – but I was very happy with the result!

Yellow & Gold
After last week’s surprise success with the colour yellow, I was encouraged by a special reader to try wrapping with a gold scarf. The funny (and amazing) thing is that within a few hours of receiving her suggestion, I was waiting for a friend who was running late and decided to duck into a gift shop. All their “winter” scarves were on a huge sale, and I put winter in quotes because included was a beautiful, sheer, woven gold scarf. This is the wrap that I created with it… and YES, I will make a video tutorial on how to do the twist part, because I just figured it out!
I took these photos with a faulty camera in a room with inadequate light, so I had to play with the settings on my computer to make them look acceptable… yay artsy!
Let’s get fancy
I am loving this multi-tonal, sparkly, sheer scarf that I recently found! To achieve the braid at the back, I put on the white scarf first, then the black over, and then blue one on top. All the scarves had one end short and one end long. Once they were all tied back, I braided the longer ones and brought them over the bun, securing them with an elastic to the shorter ends. Then I covered the elastic with a pretty flower pin!
It’s not every day…
… that the director of your seminary in Jerusalem is in Chicago and you get to go to an alumni dinner! So, I am dressing accordingly:
This wrap is actually only one scarf and one sash. The scarf has three colours (black, brown and white) and the sash is a golden colour which matches my outfit and the pin perfectly. It’s funny that I used to be such a minimalist when it came to jewellery, but now that I cover my hair, I like wearing huge earrings!
Friday Fancy :)
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.)
