What a let down. Are you returning it?&nbsp;<br />Scarf: show some pics! It's lovely worn like this over a chignon.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930529 Sun, 12 May 2013 06:15:43 +0000 Suz 930529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the scarf idea, Julie!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930419 Sun, 12 May 2013 01:01:41 +0000 Anonymous 930419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh it's such a shame the fascinator didn't work out, but it does sound like you've found a good alternative. &nbsp;I read through all the responses to your previous post about your race day&nbsp;outfit and I think because you are going the non-traditional path, a headscarf is perfect!<br /><br />Can we get a sneak peak at your outfit or do we have to wait until after you've worn it? I can't wait!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930379 Sat, 11 May 2013 23:05:10 +0000 Nicole D 930379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just consigned my one and only (and unworn) fascinator. &nbsp;It just looked....too. &nbsp;But I love the scarf idea! &nbsp;And I am not opposed to fascinators on others. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930362 Sat, 11 May 2013 22:36:45 +0000 cciele 930362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry the fascinator didn't work out -- I rather like the idea of them. But I think you will totally rock a headscarf! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930353 Sat, 11 May 2013 22:27:43 +0000 Deborah 930353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry about the fascinator but I prefer your alternative. This looks like you and brings some individuality and personality to your ensemble (which I think I have missed...what did you decide to wear?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930347 Sat, 11 May 2013 22:03:03 +0000 lyn* 930347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also love the silk scarf idea - even though a fascinator could be fun, I would imagine you can wear the silk scarf in many other ways too!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930345 Sat, 11 May 2013 22:00:41 +0000 dlb1960 930345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes yes yes!!! Scarf looks wonderful! I'm all for something a little different. Who wants to look like everyone else? Stand out from the crowd. Great for hair taming as well. I'm a fan https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930299 Sat, 11 May 2013 21:03:26 +0000 Thistle 930299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ewww, relics of road kill! Glad you went with something else that was not road kill (!) and that made you happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930298 Sat, 11 May 2013 21:03:17 +0000 Angie 930298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agreed. They delve into "nasty" territory chop-chop. <br /><br />The headscarf looks like a fab idea! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930297 Sat, 11 May 2013 21:00:42 +0000 RoseandJoan 930297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am sure an expensive well crafted fascinator would be a joy to wear, but the budget options are not great Angie.<br /><br />Firecracker, I'm glad you like the look enough to try it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930292 Sat, 11 May 2013 20:49:59 +0000 Angie 930292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As long as you are happy - that's all that counts. <br /><br />Relics of roadkill - not so fab :(<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930289 Sat, 11 May 2013 20:46:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 930289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it! I may just try this. I was just thinking that I'd like to have some way of keeping my hair from blowing all over my face when I'm out on a lovely breezy day like today. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-accessory-which-failed-to-fascinate#post-930287 Sat, 11 May 2013 20:42:51 +0000 RoseandJoan 930287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In preparation for ladies day and at the request of Angie and other forum members I headed to Dorothy Perkins to pick up the fascinator I linked to in a previous thread but, now at home, the ribbon and feathers resemble the droopy relics of&nbsp;roadkill rather than a playful nod to the riotious hats of Ascot. <br /><a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&amp;viewAllFlag=&amp;catalogId=33053&amp;storeId=12552&amp;productId=9602647&amp;langId=-1&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=208724&amp;parent_categoryId=208607&amp;pageSize=20&amp;refinements=category~[212419|208724]&amp;noOfRefinements=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.dorothyperkins.com/.....=&#038;cat</a>&nbsp;It is quite sad.<br /><br />So after searching the interweb for inspiration I have formed&nbsp;Plan B,&nbsp;instead of the non fascinating fascinator I will tie my vintage square silk scarf into a wide headband&nbsp;as a nod to my retro and fashion loving sensibilities. I hope you approve? I am happy again.
