Necessity is the mother of invention. I know what you mean by drab. I do have some lovely wigs which I have had for yonks and live wearing them but sometimes a scarf is cooler. I tend to look like a drowned rat around the head when I wear a scarf. The best thing that happened to me was accidentaly walking into an Islamic clothes shop. Thr lady showed me a cap that had a knob in the back. Omg it's been my saviour. I have bought fabulous scarves at the op shops for next to nothing. One of my most admired ones cost me 3 bucks. Look on you tube for ideas. My knobby cap helps the scarf to grip and gives my head some shape.u sometimes put a small diamonte where I've made a knot above my ear and I let one piece of the fabric from the knot hang down. If your like me and get carried away you'll end up with countless scarves and caps. Enjoy being a fashionista
