(Well
yesterdays, but I came home late and just wanted to sleep)
Scorching
hot day!
I can feel
my poor pale skin begin to sizzle as soon as I step out of the shadows. Of
course this means: Hair covering day.
I wore it
to the gym like this:
A pre-tied bandanna
covered with a real bandanna to match my gym outfit
Then later
I changed the top bandanna into a sarong-kind of thing my mother brought home
from Greece
Although I
initially wore my hair covered to protect from the sun, I was really happy with
it once it became cold outside during the night!
The extra “padding”
makes my buns huge!

Friend and I had never been to an open air movie event before and wasn’t sure
what to expect, but we thought it would be a mini version of a music festival. So
we arrived early to make sure we could get a good spot. Chemist Friend had
looked up directions how to get there, but as we were right where it should be,
we were confused as we couldn’t find it. She consulted her GPS and we found we
were pretty much looking right at it!
It was
absolutely not what we had expected! I would swear I have seen home theatres around
this size!
And that is
Chemist Friend in the front.
I love the blue sarong thing used as a hair scarf, brilliant! And the design is very summer-y and easily recognizable, it should take a lot of the religious vibe to it (for those who still see it like that)
ReplyDeleteThey sell a lot of those around here, never thought of their potential as headwear. Cool!
It's adorable how you match the headwrap to the rest of the outfit, I don't know a lot of people that bother to coordinate, so it's a pleasure to see someone else doing it ^^
Looks like you had a really nice time too =] I only watched an outdoor movie once, it was a really old B&W movie about Lisbon, and there was no sound so there was a musician playing the piano =D
I love the blue scarf!!
ReplyDeleteDo you not find them hot though? I find anything covering my head, even cotton that breaths, makes me quite hot.
I love those movies!! We have drive ins---while you use your car, many people opt to sit in the back of trucks on lawn chairs to watch them. I LOVE going to the drive-in!! So much fun! You have to sneak in food, but it's still a blast.
We've been in the midst of a heat wave for almost 2.5 months and JUST got rain this week. 7 weeks no rain until this week and it's been brutal!! Temps up to 42-45C with humidex. I've been covering my hair as much as possible, but the ends are a good shade lighter than the roots--my hair dresser said not to bother coloring it fully until the late fall, after summer when the sun isn't so strong.
Hey! You got your new phone!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun way to see a movie. I've never heard of an outdoor movie festival before.
ReplyDeleteLike Rita and Darkhorse, I love the blue scarf! I bought some tie dye fabric a few months ago to cut into scarves. People don't get the wrong idea when you are wearing those. Unless you object to being pegged as a hippie, of course.
Your head coverings are lovely. :)
