Head scarves are hot for the season, wear yours in style

As I was growing up, I liked head scarves so much that my mother used to wonder exactly what was happening to me. She would tell me to leave the scarves to the old women, but I wanted to hear none of it- because headscarves were a fashion accessory that I would not do without. Back then I used get very beautiful silk head scarves from the second hand market and try to match them with my outfits, bags and even shoes. And for the better part of my teenage life- the head scarves ruled my fashion world and worked in my favour. Well, that was all forgotten later as the fashion world changed, and it was all about crazy hairstyles.
