How To: Tie a Scarf (Rosie the Riveter Style)

 Alrighty Hannah from Tattoos and Pearls. You asked for it so here it is :)  This is my first one so please cut me a little slack.

My Rosie the Riveter Tutorial

You will need: 
A Scarf (Any size really. Just remember the larger the scarf, the larger the top knot)

Take your square scarf and fold it into a triangle.

 Take the folded side and lay it on the nape of your neck.


At this point, all 3 corners of your triangle should be pointing toward your face. The center triangle will line up with your nose. 
Cross left corner over right, while leaving the center corner lying on your face. 

Tie a basic tie as if youre learning how to tie your shoes.



 Tug until its as secure as you want it. 





Now take the center corner and tuck it back underneath the tie you just created.

 Once the center point is secure, pick the left and right corners up and tie again.
 And again...
 And again...
 and again until youve almost run out of scarf to tie.
 Now take the end of the tied portion of the scarf and tuck it back until it is secure.
 Adjust and make sure the scarf is smoothed down to your liking.

 Tuck any hair that may have escaped back under the the scarf and also adjust your ears.
Hope this was helpful. Let me know if I need to elaborate any further. 

Happy Thursday!

Style: My Favorite Shirt


Shirt: Mossimo via Dirt Cheap .50!
Leggings: Vera Wang for Khols
Shoes: No Name via Claires
Bag: No Name via Thrift Shop


WetnWild Club Havana on the Nails

You know those outfits you wear in between posted outfits? This is one of them. This shirt gets more wear than any other item in my closet honestly. Its worn with jeans, skirts, shorts, as a layer over dresses ect. The list really could go on and on. Its perfect for lazy days. Todays excuse for wearing the oversized shirt: Its raining and the temperature dropped to 75 :) 

The shirt is probably wrong to some but Im sure wearing leggings in the summer seems pretty nutty too. I love my leggings too much to hide them away until fall. Regardless, the combination worked well for my trip to get the old eyebrows threaded. I was also wearing another headwrap but I figured I should let the hair out to show you what took place a few days ago.

If you follow me on Instagram @keesha_mama you already know that I put warm blonde hair color in my hair and this is what I got :)

Yup I colored it!

Style: Green...Again!


 Skirt, Shirt, Bag and Scarf: Thrifted
Shoes: Target
 Sunglasses: Thrifted (They belong to hubby but...)

If you scroll through this blog you will find plenty o'green. Not money, just the color. Its my favorite. I honestly dont think I seek to find all things green they just seem to find me. And theyre all from thrift shops

I wear the color a lot. If you click here, here, here, and here for a few examples. Honestly there might just be a green magnet built into my dna.

What Colors Are You Drawn To?
