Can't Sleep, Bed's on Fire

"You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talking a lot, but you're not even saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?"

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down

Respectable fashion journals have been drumming certain styling rules into me for years.

Like the importance of scarves in the wardrobes of women, especially of a certain age.

Yeah, ageing women like me.

I've struggled with those elusive slippery suckers for so long and just as I gave up, I found my fairy scarf godmother.

Now I can be chic and age-appropriate.

Haaaaa! Had you going there for a second didn't I?

Nay I say - still not going down that path - but I have been rocking this head-scarf technique since discovering it this weekend.
