Try a Beret in Place of Your Head Scarf

May 14th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in head scarves - (0 Comments)

When you buy accessories for headwear, you may find you have a lot of head scarves. Sometimes you want something a little different to choose from every day. That’s understandable;  we have to change up our styles to break out of the mundane, to feel like we aren’t stuck in a rut of wearing the same things every day.

Berets are a fun accessory that not everyone is bold enough to try, but maybe you’d like to. They cover a good deal of the head and they come in a variety of fabrics to work all through the year. Knit ones will keep you a bit warmer in the winter months and lighter cotton or sequin berets will be cute and less hot in the warmer weather.

They also are easier to deal with than head scarves, in that you don’t have to worry about how you are tying them a certain way to suit your style. We all have days where we need to run out the door and throwing a beret on can really save you time. It’s a great option when you want to  change it up and get ready just a bit faster in the morning.

Beyond Head Scarves: Hair Bows

April 16th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in Styling - (0 Comments)

Head scarves are a fun hair accessory to have and every gal should have one or two in her fashion arsenal. But another piece that is making a big comeback are hair bows. You may be thinking, “I haven’t worn a bow in my hair since I was a kid!” But styled the right way, bows can actually make a cute accessory without looking too young for you.

If you are going to trade in your head scarf for a bow for a day out,  consider your outfit. You need to make sure that it goes well with what you are wearing. Dresses and other feminine silhouettes are going to pair perfectly, whereas you wouldn’t want to put a bow into your hair with jeans and a t-shirt. A bow can perfectly complement a vintage looking dress though, without making you look like a child.

When you first wear  bows, start with something small and simple. A solid color in a small size may be exactly what you need to test the waters. From there, if you really love the look, you can graduate to something a bit bigger and flashier. Polka dots and stripes are both very much in style!

Other Uses for Head Scarves

Do you have some head scarves lying around that you aren’t sure what to do with? They can actually be used as more than just a cover up for your hair. You can turn them into a variety of accessories as well as turn them into completely new, reusable items.

First, if you tire of wearing your head scarf over your head, why not tie it around your neck has a kerchief.  You can also use it to loop through sneakers. If you pull the scarf thinly and loop through a pair of Converse, you can have a fabric shoe lace that will really look fantastic and different.

If you want to think of a new object to turn your scarf into, consider sewing a few together as a sleeve to turn into a pillow. You can either make it large enough to stick a normal sized throw pillow inside, or you can stuff it yourself and sew it shut to create a fully do-it-yourself design.

Scarfs sewn together also make really great table accessories. You can turn them into a runner for the dining room table or a decorative piece for the coffee table in the living room.  A touch of extra color will look fantastic, no matter what the material.

Cotton Head Scarves Are Easy to Care For

March 26th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in head scarves - (0 Comments)

Cotton is a great fabric for everyday use, whether in clothing, bed sheets or hand cloths and towels. Cotton head scarves are a great way to go when purchasing them, because they are so easy to care for. Cotton is one of those materials that you don’t really have to think about when doing your laundry. It can be on almost any setting and while high heat in the dryer may make it shrink, pre-shrunk cotton lets you avoid that problem all together. And most stains wash out of cotton with ease, unlike other fabrics where you might have to get them specially treated to get them out.

Cotton head scarves are also the cheapest choice you can make. Of all the fabrics you can buy them in,  they will be the most cost effective and easiest for your wallet to handle. That’s because cotton is so common and so cheap to use in making scarves and other clothing pieces.

The next time you look for new head scarves, consider the ease of cotton. It’s beautiful, breathable, and easy to care for. They are the perfect addition to your accessory arsenal.

Embrace Color With Head Scarves

March 5th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in head scarves - (0 Comments)

Have you ever wanted to wear more of a pop of color, but have been so afraid to do it? Maybe you aren’t sure which kind of color works best with your skin tone or you just don’t know if a certain color is really “you.” The best way to try out color is with smaller accessories and an easy choice is with head scarves.

Head scarves make enough of a statement piece that you won’t be hiding the fact that you are trying orange or pink for the first time, but it’s not so overwhelming in an outfit that you might feel uncomfortable or like you don’t know how to work the rest of your outfit around a bright piece. If you wear a bright green dress, you might have no idea how to pick shoes or what to accessorize with. But if you wear a bright green head scarf, it can be that one pop of color that goes well with a more simpler outfit that’ll be easy to pick out.

So go ahead and get a bit bold with your next scarf. See how a color works for you; you may be pleasantly surprised with the results!
