While I do wear actual snoods from time to time, more often than not I wear regular scarves and tie them in a snood-like fashion.
Like many other things women do, I think this is one of those areas that we can talk about til we are blue in the face, but that ultimately, I never became comfortable with until I just did it, day in and day out.
The majority of the questions lately have been about alternatives to the traditional chapel veil.
Some people don't like chapel veils because they seem too fancy, others don't like them because they seem to hard to use with the baby pulling at them. I love love love chapel veils, but we attend a Maronite parish and sometimes Chapel Veils are a little too Roman Catholic for my mood there.
If you really LIKE Chapel veils, don't be afraid to wear them! Teach those babies not to touch by patiently saying no and not letting them do it.... over and over and over.
And also, please know that I am not beneath wearing a jean skirt and chapel veil. They don't have to be so fussy and fancy and that combo can look really cute when it's done well.
Personally, I alternate all different types of headcoverings depending on the occasion, but if you're looking for an alternative to the chapel veil, these are two of my favorite everyday veiling looks.
They are easy to achieve, can be done in a minute or so even if I am getting out of a car and unbuckling kids from car seats at the same time as I'm veiling. My daughters also wear their own headcoverings like this a lot and they love it. You can also dress these up or down depending on the occasion and they use the two most common scarf types so you don't have to go out and buy anything fancy like a brand new snood. ;)
Have fun!
Long rectangular scarf (top) or a Large square scarf tied in front ( bottom) or in the back (middle).
How do you tie the bottom one?
