Head scarf to Conceal Hair
The headscarf can be used to hide the roots of your hair if they need dyeing. To add elegance. To look jaunty.
For a special occasion of course I would not have greasy hair. I washed my hair. Too much washing or too much shampoo can result in dry fly-away hair. The solution is conditioner. If you have none, sometimes a dab of moisturizer from your own bathroom or a hotel or club wash room will do the trick. Failing all else, water.
Hiding A Bra Strap With A Dickey
At a Toastmasters meeting we were treated to a workshop on looking good on camera. The speaker, patricia Lum, showed several pictures of people in different styles of dress asking the audience to vote on what was a good look and what was not. One picture showed a bra strap. I put on this outfit and found a bra strap showing. I tried to mitigate the effect by changing into a bra which was matching colour and had a wide strap instead of a narrow ribbon effect It did not match in colour, nor did it look neat. So I chose to wear a dickey, or collar with a false front which completely covered my shoulders. My fancy collars with colours were just a clash of busy patterns so I chose plain white.
Because we were travelling by bus and train, I needed shoes I could walk in - or to carry a spare pair of shoes.
If you are interested in an outfit with a matching headscarf, you could search online for matching scarf, two piece outfit, three piece outfit, three piece suit, four piece, dress, jacket and scarf. Many other labels make similar outfits. For a fancy outfit, try searching for mother of the bride or cruise wear and see which brands come up and then search for more by the same brand or label.
