Vintagey Casual Outfit and Head Scarf Inspiration

This past Friday after I had a wonderful lunch at the Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain (HERE) I picked up my children from school and prepared them for a sleep over at Papa's house. I decided to change and go a little more casual for my dinner date with my husband. I went with a vintagey casual look and added a little vintage by wearing a head scarf out for the first time. Yes, this was my first time grabbing a scarf and head out the door wearing it.

I tried a few times adding head scarfs to my wardrobe but I would get frustrated because the length wasn't right or I couldn't find the right color. After trying it out this time I know I definitely want more color selections and I also need to find more scarves that are larger. I found using larger ones gives you a lot of room for creating various looks as you will see if you click on the links I shared at the bottom on this post.

My outfit was pretty simple. I wore a pair of Gap trouser jeans, a peter pan collared shell top from Boden, a cardigan from Old Navy, Moonglow bracelets, a pair of yellow stud earrings, and a yellow bird sweater clip I purchased on Etsy. I also wore a vintage head scarf and tried to hide the horror of my hair for a bit (LOL).

Grab yourself a sizable head scarf. Fold over until you get it to the shape of a triangle and then keep folding it over until it is a long rectangle shape. Like a long headband. I tied my hair back with a clip and placed my head scarf over my head and knotted it twice at the bottom.

To keep the scarf in place I put a bobby pin on each side. I also used mini hair combs at the front of my hair to keep my hair in place as well. I removed the hair clip after I tied it, it helped prevent me from tying up my hair accidentally.

Afterwards you can adjust it and made the front of the scarf larger if you want. Just perfect for bad hair days like I had. My hair was just way too frizzy that day despite the great weather we had.
