Scarves = Low maintenance

I was going to say scarves equal no maintenance but that's not really true, everyday I at least moisturize to avoid crunchy hair.

Anyway, scarves are fun if you want to look awesome but don't have time to fiddle with your hair or you wake up needing to run an errand immediately. So, I wanted to share some styles I've been trying out.

**Note: Some people may feel negatively a
bout scarves for various reasons (e.g.: Aunt Jemima), to that I have to things to say: 1) Keep it to yourself, 2) Look up all the many other beautiful ways that scarves have been used across cultures and realize how silly it is to stereotype a piece of headwear.

Onward...
I've been collecting scarves for a few months but rarely got the spirit to wear them out. On Sunday morning/afternoon, I needed to run by CVS really quick and I didn't want to delay things by contemplating what to with the groups of chunky twists that I slept in. So, I decided to debut my scarves.

First, I played around with a regal blue wrap:

(Excuse the sideways picture, Blogger doesn't want to show the pic in its vertical orientation.)


I made it a little more funky by adding in this material that can best be described as appropriate for a drum circle.


Finally, I decided wear this cute rag-scrap looking piece because it's lightweight was perfect for the ridiculous Florida heat.
