SENIOR LADY: CHRISTMAS SCARF HACKS!

-


I  am not ashamed to admit that I own around fifty silky  scarves.
There are about fifteen cotton bandanas among the collection too. 
I fell in love with scarf collecting when I was in college. A friend 
showed me a few fashion  tricks a frugul college lady should use. 
Scarves could enhance my outfits. I had them in multiple colors,
designs, and prints.  I used them as headbands, belts, and neckties.

I stopped buying scarves when I realized that Thrift stores have
gently used ones. I've even found several new  scarves with the
tags still on them.

I visit Dollar stores every week. They have very long scarves
with seasonal prints and designs on them. I have seen
Easter, July Fourth, and Christmas prints on the scarves
at the stores I visit. I buy two scarf designs for each season.
I wear headwraps when I want to take a break from
wearing wigs or natural hairstyles. These scarves
are long enough to make various head wrap styles.

Hear are the styles I'm wearing this Christmas season:

CHRISTMAS SCARF HACKS:

SCARVES:



HEADWRAP STYLES:


Black print Christmas scarf. Headwrap with rosette tied on top.
Red hoop earrings and red choker accessories.





Christmas scarf with poinsettia design. Headwear with twisted knot on the side.




Shades of Green Christmas scarf. Head wrap with fluffy bow on the side.
Enhanced by green hoop earrings and mixed green button choker.


TIPS:

**    I learned how to do simple headwraps from African friends. 
There are several online videos with detailed 
instructions on tying fancy headwraps.

**   I created the Christmas button choker after watching online
Vintage Button  Necklace tutorial. I bought 18 inch Figaro style
 choker chain (bronze color) with extender from the craft store. 
The Dollar Store had package of mixed size green & red buttons.
 I used medium sized silver jump rings to attach the buttons onto 
 the chain. Bronze jump rings were out of stock.

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends.

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
