For anyone who's interested...

I found a new way to tie my long pashmina scarves! These had really been a problem lately because the huge knots were causing me to stick my head forward just a bit and get neck aches. Without the knot, the weight of the long fabric hanging down my back was no better. But pashminas are so warm.

So today I finally got it. I took a scrunchie and balled up a section in the back, letting the rest hang down. It looked like this from the back:

And like this from the front: 

I think I like this scarf style because it looks like I have long hair hanging down.

So why am I writing about this? Well, I'm hoping to give someone with alopecia a new idea for how to wear a head covering. I guess I'm also just keeping a record of the steps on my journey. At this point, I'm completely bored with alopecia. I'm tired of scarves, but I can't do wigs on a daily basis. So figuring out this new tie is a bright spot. I felt pretty today, and I haven't felt pretty in awhile.

The point--often a very small change can make a big difference.
