Ah, the headscarf. A must-have in a vintage wardrobe; it is versatile and chic. They provide a quick and easy alternative to achieving a vintage look and are a life-saver on windy days or when you need to hide your hair set. I almost always wear a headscarf with 1940's styling, I just find it easier. Here's how I learned the art of tying a headscarf from Candice DeVille (Vintage Current).
Some 1940's headscarf inspiration...

My mother, grandmother and I ventured to Manly, a beach suburb in Northern Sydney. It was sunny and warm for a change and definitely felt like Spring. Two train trips and a ferry ride later, we walked around then ate at the beach-themed
Ivanhoe Hotel. It turned out wearing a scarf on a ferry is a good idea (and securing with bobby pins is a must). Sometimes the time spent setting hair and styling is just wasted when it's windy.
