I'm determined to check in here at least once a week, no matter how busy I get. And I'm sure many of you know what I mean when I say this has been one of those weeks. However, I'm not moaning, I prefer to be busy, doing things I choose to do. That's what being retired is all about.
Now, one thing I've neglected in my life is learning all those girlie things that others know automatically. Like scarf tying. I own a few scarves that I wear on occasions, but I am not very adventurous when making them look their best.
Last week I decided to buy a new scarf, and wandered into a small shop selling all that girlie paraphenalia such as scarves, necklaces and such. I found the scarf I liked almost immediately and the friendly shop assistant said, "Let me show you how to tie it."
I decided this was an opportunity too good to miss. Now I not only have a new scarf, but I've learned a new way to tie it. The scarf in the photo is not my new one, but a scarf courtesy of Pixabay images.
Are you one of those that keeps up with fashion or more like me, just learning one way of doing things and sticking with it?

I tend to stick with one way, how to properly tie a scarf is not something I've ever thought of, but now I'm curious

More like you , can't keep up with fashions. I run for a hair cut only when I start looking terrible .
Though, I love people who are always well turned out.
Jeans are considered fashionable here.
I'll try it with a scarf soon.

i don't reckon i've e'er worn a scarf? fashion 'n myself aint usually spoken'n the same sentence, lol. i wear what's comfy, sometimes the same schtuff fer years 'til't totally wears out :)
wonderful that gal was kind 'nough to show ya how to tie that. the daughter's quite fond'f scarves, wears 'em quite oft. i aint ne'er figured all the diff'rent ways she tied 'em. too frightened to ask coz she'd prolly bought me one i'd then feel obligated to wear, lol. big hugs!
