Endnotes:
I just came back from a fascinating conference on LGBT issues on college campuses, where I leaned so much and was pushed to think about so many issues, including clothes and self presentation. I can’t wait to share some of my thoughts from the weekend with all of you, but for now, I’m exhausted, my brain is fried, and my day is too busy!
For today I needed something simple but I wanted to wear a scarf in a way not all that typical for me (ie not belted, tied around my waist, or knotted at my neck) so I went for the head scarf. This is not nearly as creative or fun as S.’s hair scarf from earlier this month, but it did bring some color and pattern to an otherwise pretty plain ensemble.
Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start! A.

I love this belt. I’ve been looking for one like if for summer!
That scarf looks fabulous as a headband, and I love the blue/gray palette with the brown acessories. Can’t wait to hear about your conference.
Can’t wait to hear more about the conference! And I love this mix of blues and browns.
Oooh! I have this cardigan and two colors, but I’ve never tried the buttoned-up approach to make it look like a top. Thanks for the inspiration!
How do you get scarfs to stay on your head? I have relatively thick, curly/wavy hair, and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to secure a scarf so it doesn’t slip off my head!
Any suggestions?
Belt and boots combo look great! I love scarves as headbands as well because they don’t make my head hurt.
oooh I can’t wait to hear about the conference… topics near and dear to my queer little heart :)
this outfit is adorable… the head scarf totally adds some extra interest, and I love your use of that belt. bellisima!
