If truth be told, I would still wear them if I could find them and wouldn't be considered a kook. :D
Some of them were beautiful.
Anyway, what's happened to them?
I'd like to buy some to use in a few craft projects and, although ebay has some now and then, the prices are too much for me.
I guess they're considered collector items now maybe.
I remember them being pretty inexpensive (I'm speaking of the non-silk ones)
Does anyone know where I can buy some at a "normal" price?
I've googled a little and can only find silk ones.
Thanks.

I have some larger ones that I wear over my shoulders or coats as accent pieces but haven't worn one on my head since the 60's. Back in those days a great gift for my mother and mother in law was a purse with matching gloves and a head scraf. May in Jersey

what happened to all those scarves people were tying on their purses and wearing in different ways in the 80's? Remember there was even a book that told you all different ways to tie/pin/knot/wear them. All those scarves must be around somewhere.
I have been known to wear one "Hollywood style" when walking the beach.
Born in 56, and I remember during the "hippie" era it was cool to wear a smaller scarf with the ends tied behind your neck, never under the chin. Went to school like that many times, man was I cool...
Speaking of fashion, I was trying to remember in what grade it became "legal" to wear pants in school. Grade school, a no-no, but I think by high school we could wear them. Like I said, born in 1956 and graduated 1974. Anyone else remember?

By the time I had daughters they rarely would put a dress on and my granddaughter now is the same way. She hardly ever wears a dress to school.
This thread started off speaking of head scarves. I loved them! Not the wool ones, just the rayon ones. So pretty. I think we should start another trend and start wearing them again.

Ptquilts,
I graduated in 1975 and when I was a senior we could wear pants to school, but not jeans; only on Fridays though. I guess they didn't wanna give us too much freedom. I went to a Catholic HS.
