So, after I went out and bought all those scarves and bandannas (I actually went back and bought three more bandannas; now all I need is a yellow one to be able to match pretty much any t-shirt I have), I sort of had to wear them. I couldn't explain it, so it's probably good that no one has actually asked me to. My sister has been teasing a little bit (telling my parents on the phone, "Do you know you have a daughter who's a practicing Muslim?"), and my guy friend has been looking at me funny (It's his "Aww, isn't she precious?" face, though, so I guess that's not much of a problem [;)]). I did up one of the scarves for chapel and work today, and I think it worked all right. I couldn't quite figure out any of the directions for scarf-tying that I saw online, so I made up my own method. Since the knot and the scarf-ends really bug me if they are at the back of my neck, I tied it over one ear and put a pretty pin in it. That keeps it from coming untied, too, as well as getting the knot out of the way and giving the whole thing a neat look. It feels fairly natural, too; I always did like to wear hats, so it's not that different. I'm kind of worried about whether it would be seen as inappropriate if I wear it to church this weekend, though. Everybody's older than me, and nobody covers their hair. It seems a little rough to be 22 and alone in something like this. I'm also a bit worried that the myriad of theology majors around my school will notice and think I'm an idiot. [8|]
If the nicest cover I have is a plain black or white scarf, do you think that is all right for church? It's a pretty formal church. I guess if I had to, I could go buy a prettier one, but I've already gone a bit overboard on buying things (well, I've spent about fifteen dollars on coverings so far, and to a college student, that's kind of a lot; another scarf would bring it to twenty dollars).
