So I've been experimenting with headscarves and headwraps. Joy Adaeze from Joy Loves Fashion first got me fascinated with them. It's become her signature since she was a teenager. There's just something really beautiful about turbans, headwraps and coverings. To throw out more adjectives: cool and regal come to mind.
This Monday when I unearthed my warmer clothes (and they all smelled like storage), I found this brown scarf that one of my college suitemates gave me in our freshman year. For some reason, I don't like scarves around my neck, so the few that I have are always hidden away and neglected. But scarves around my head? All for it. I tried to tie the scarf up in an untraditional way, which means making it all up as I go. The fringe of the scarf peeked out and I thought I looked like a gypsy. Then I went to the grocery store and willed myself not to be self-conscious about my handiwork. [DoItInPublicOrYou'reFake]*
About my natural hair. Some days I hate it -- when it looks like rubbish tied up or let "loose." Now I know that in those situations I could make a so-so puff or just wrap it up! I woke up with ten flat twists radiating from the center of my head. After untwisting the result was disappointingly unmagical. I did the same style on Monday and it looked magnificent then. But today... I grabbed this scarf and tried to configure something new. Something like Ashley Blaine Featherson, with my hair peeking out, but without the laid edges. A tie in the front, wrap around to the back, then another tie, and lastly, tucking in the ends on the sides. And done. How do you like it?

*j/k, you're not fake.
Do what makes you comfortable but not so much that you're always stuck in the same old box.
I think, that's what they would say.
