Self portrait cover up


I so admire women who can wear head bands and turbans, wrapping up their hair and showing off their faces. Today I so desperately needed a hair cut that I took a scarf wrapped it around my head and covered up my unruly hair. It felt so nice but I'm not sure how good it looked, I think it looked rather obvious and not natural like I see on others. I also grabbed my little dog Penny and tried to get her to poise with me but she was not to cooperative. Things were just against me this morning. But just the same my self portrait was taken and I am on my way to a hair cut appointment. Thank goodness!! Have a good week-end and a Happy Easter.

  4. I think you look very natural, not to mention wonderful, in your scarf... and Penny is too cute... I've been hotflashing sooooo bad the last couple of weeks, I went and got my hair cut SHORT today. Guess I need to do another self portrait of myself...

  5. I wore my hair up in a high pony tail, and loved every minute of it!
    If you are comfortable in your own skin, or should I say hair, I think people will accept whatever creative thing you try to do!
    I think you look great!,,,you can still wear the wrap even though you got a cut! lol

    have a great day!

  12. I know what you mean about wrapped hair but it does look really good on you. I can't carry it off but usually wear my hair brutally short in an effort to achieve the same kind of result x
