However, I think you can do better than all of these. Make sure to keep your eyes open. ;-)totustuusmariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459544262379455570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363034.post-68732940107655819212009-01-17T00:54:00.000-05:002009-01-17T00:54:00.000-05:00I guess my answer would depend on what we propose ...I guess my answer would depend on what we propose is the purpose of the head covering: to make you less noticeable, or to be a wardrobe piece?<BR/><BR/>If the former, then “Virgin Mary” seems to make you the most inconspicuous, followed by “very warm and cozy”. And, if the mantilla covers your hair, then that, too.<BR/><BR/>If the latter, then either the first or the last two, IMO.<BR/><BR/>And, if you put your hair in a pony-tail, or otherwise made it so that it is covered up, then pretty much anything would be inconspicuous, though of course bright colors grab attention.<BR/><BR/>You have pretty hair...it would distract me if I saw you at Mass. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363034.post-23259620871811661812009-01-15T21:09:00.000-05:002009-01-15T21:09:00.000-05:00Mara- I found your blog from the "Those Headcoveri...Mara- I found your blog from the "Those Headcoverings" blog! :)<BR/>I belong to a very traditional parish (St Agnes in St Paul MN) so when I wear a mantilla to Mass (NO or TLM) I blend in with the crowd anyway. ;D<BR/>I do occasionally have to go to Mass somewhere else, and when I do I wear a black kerchief similar to the second one you posted (although I have short hair so it does cover most of it). I figure it is less conspicuous in a parish where no one else covers, but the Lord sees and knows why I am doing it.<BR/>I ordered some different coverings from Headcoverings by Devorah- she does beautiful work. I have some of them on my blog too if you want to take a peek- http://natesabel.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-believe-i-promised-you-fashion-show.html<BR/><BR/>And don't worry that someone will think you are "holier than thou"--- you could think of it as reparation for all the women and girls who show up for Mass in immodest clothing. You are showing your humility and obedience to God so don't worry what anyone thinks of it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674331788317810338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363034.post-57659528892086339462009-01-12T17:36:00.000-05:002009-01-12T17:36:00.000-05:00I vote 2nd to last.

I have to wear a shirt at church, but that doesn't mean I'm immodest to wear a nice one or not mix black & brown. Speaking of which, I need to buy more bow ties...Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10876735704508443889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363034.post-47493675791828265422009-01-11T00:12:00.000-05:002009-01-11T00:12:00.000-05:00Mara, when I started veiling it was when we were o...Mara, when I started veiling it was when we were out of town. I had wanted to do it for years but didn't have the guts since I didn't want to appear 'holier than thou' and the people at my regular parish surely knew I'm only a holy wannabe. After a few times, I got used to it and now I can't imagine attending Mass without veiling. Any Mass. I veil for Christ, not the type of Mass I'm attending.<BR/><BR/>And veils are pretty and feminine. I think it's alright chose your head covering partly on what looks nice to you. Your lovely and any veil or scarf will look nice. Just try it a few times.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904858966464256508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363034.post-69624253187317248062009-01-10T21:53:00.000-05:002009-01-10T21:53:00.000-05:00One of the women who sings with me in the schola a...One of the women who sings with me in the schola also always likes to have her head covered in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament... she often wears a very stylish gray brimmed hat with a velvet band that looks great with her winter coat... another alternative you might consider :)lvschanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15022440403025636387noreply@blogger.com
